Background Heparin-bonded covered stent grafts (Viabahn) are used to treat femoropopliteal long-segment arteriosclerotic lesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of Viabahn grafts with a covered stent length of minimum 25 cm. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients receiving a heparin-bonded stent graft in our clinic who met the length criteria between July 2010 and March 2018. Primary endpoints were patency rates, limb salvage and survival after five years. Secondary endpoint was the 30-day outcome including early complications. Results A total of 62 patients (45 male, median age 70.5 years) were included. The median arteriosclerotic lesion length was 25 cm (22.0–41.3 cm), the minimum covered stent length was 25 cm (25–46 cm). All lesions were TASC C and D lesions. The 30-day mortality was 0%, an early stent graft occlusion occurred in 8.1%. A major amputation was performed in 1.6%. Primary patency, primary assisted patency, secondary patency, limb salvage and survival were 38.5%, 45.7%, 52.4%, 92.8% and 68.9% after five years. Distal stent graft end below the femoral condyles and critical limb ischemia was associated with a significant decreased survival. The diameter of the stent had no influence on the outcome. Conclusion The Viabahn stent graft for long segment arteriosclerotic lesions is a feasible treatment with adequate long-term results.

Purpose: To assess the long-term results of a homemade aortomonoiliac polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) device used for endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. Methods: A vascular audit database was interrogated to identify 58 consecutive AAA patients (all men; median age 73 years, range 56–88) who underwent aortomonoiliac stent-graft repair. AAAs were eligible for endovascular treatment if the infrarenal neck was ≥15 mm long and ≤28 mm in diameter. Results: Nine (15.5%) procedures failed, 8 during the procedure and 1 on the 7th postoperative day; 8(13.8%) patients were converted, but one was unfit for surgery. There was one intraprocedural stroke, and 3 (5.2%) patients died within 30 days. The primary success rate (no conversion or mortality) was 79.3%. Over a median follow-up of 45 months (range 23–80), there were 3 (5.2%) graft occlusions, 1 kink requiring stent implantation, and 1 expanding sac without identifiable endoleak. There were 11 (19.0%) endoleaks in 10 patients, 9 type I leaks (2 proximal) and 1 type II. One patient with a distal type I endoleak (treated) also exhibited a type III leak at 2 years, but the sac size had not increased. There was a 40% incidence of bilateral buttock claudication, which was serious in only 1 patient. The long-term survival rate by Kaplan-Meier life-table analysis was 57% at 4 years. Conclusions: Implantation of an aortomonoiliac PTFE device can be achieved with good primary success, and the stent-graft seems durable over the long term. Proximal type I endoleaks are rare, but distal endoleaks from the contralateral common iliac artery can be solved by using a different covered stent.

Mycotic pseudoaneurysms develop at sites of intimal disruption where bacterial invasion occurs. The conventional treatment involves arterial ligation, excision and debridement, followed by a bypass procedure at a later point. Recently, covered stent grafts have been used to treat mycotic arterial aneurysms either as temporary or definitive procedures. However, this is associated with a risk of stent graft infection, recurrence and rupture. There is a paucity of long-term results on the durability of such endovascular stent graft procedures in mycotic arterial pseudoaneurysms. We describe a successful endovascular covered stent repair of a mycotic profunda femoris artery pseudoaneurysm and follow-up of this repair at 2 years.

Aortic Injuries

Purpose: To evaluate the variations in aortic diameters and long-term results in patients who underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for acute blunt traumatic thoracic aortic injuries (BTTAIs). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 23 patients with a mean age of 39 years (range: 17-74 years) who underwent TEVAR for BTTAI between October 2000 and November 2014. All of the patients underwent computed tomography angiography (CTA) before hospital discharge as a baseline imaging for the subsequent follow-up examinations. The technical success, overall survival, and complications were evaluated. Furthermore, the aortic diameters outside of the stent-graft (1 cm proximal and 1 cm distal to the stent-graft) and the aortic diameters within the stent-graft (2 cm distal to the proximal end and 2 cm proximal to the distal end) were assessed. The diameters at baseline on CTA were compared with those of the latest available follow-up examination. Results: Technical success was 100% with a mean follow-up of 65.4 months (range: 12-171 months). No death was registered, and 2 (8.7%) of 23 endograft-related complications (1 stent-graft distal infolding and 1 endoleak 2 and 4 months after the procedure, respectively) were observed. An increase in aortic diameter either proximal or distal to the stent-graft (mean value 0.7 and 0.5 mm, respectively) or within the stent-graft (mean value of 0.5 mm for both proximal and distal diameters) was registered (mean follow-up at 65.4 months, range: 12-171 months). Conclusion: Aortic dilatation following TEVAR for BTTAI is minimal during long-term follow-up. Endovascular treatment represents a durable and safe option in acute BTTAIs.

“Carotid blowout syndrome” is defined as a hemorrhage caused by rupture of the carotid artery and its branches, and may be a severe complication of rhinopharyngeal carcinoma. This study aimed to highlight the usefulness and versatility of endovascular stent-graft placement as a rescue treatment in life-threatening carotid blowout syndrome. We describe the unconventional use of a 6×5 mm balloon-expandable coronaric covered stent in a patient with a diagnosis of spinocellular rhinopharyngeal carcinoma, followed by carotid blowout syndrome. Although long-term follow-up is needed to assess the eventuality of bleeding recurrence, the immediate clinical results were satisfactory.
