No full textCommentary on 'AAA with a challenging neck: early outcomes using the Endurant stent-graft system'.
No full textINVITED COMMENT: The efficacy and safety of endovascular aneurysm repair is disputable in aneurysms with
a short, angulated, wide, conical, or thrombus-lined neck making a reliable seal difficult to achieve. The
influence of a challenging neck on early results using the Endurant stent-graft system in high risk
patients was investigated
Carotid artery stenting: A Review.
No full textAbstract View references (48)
Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has emerged as an alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for the treatment of carotid stenosis, yet there remains a substantial amount of variability and uncertainty in clinical practice in the referral of patients for stenting versus endarterectomy. By undertaking a review of the literature, messages were taken in order to better define benefit from carotid stenting versus endarterectomy. CAS may be favorably compared to CEA only in experienced hands and fully trained centers: the learning curve is longer than previously expected for this procedure. Not all symptomatic patients may undergo CAS with the same periprocedural risk: older patients and recently symptomatic patients may still benefit from CEA. Larger sample size is needed to clarify the risk-benefit ratio of CAS versus CEA especially in asymptomatic patients. Ongoing, correctly designed, large randomized trials will help determine optimal carotid revascularization strategies in the future
Pulmonary sequestration supplied by giant aneurysmal aortic branch
No full textWe report a case of an intralobar sequestration supplied by a 13-cm aneurysmal vessel originating from the abdominal aorta. The malformation was discovered during a roentgenogram investigation of an abdominal infrarenal aneurysm. During the endovascular repair of the abdominal aneurysm, the giant feeding vessel of the pulmonary sequestration was embolized. Two days later the patient underwent an uneventful resection of the malformation en bloc with the right lower lobe through a standard right thoracotomy.
