Stent-Graft Treatment of Extracranial Carotid and Vertebral Arterial Lesions

Purpose: To report endovascular repair of injuries to the external iliac artery during hip surgery. Case Reports: Two elderly women with histories of chronically infected hip prostheses were found to have iatrogenic leaking pseudoaneurysms of the external iliac artery due to hip surgery trauma in the past. Both were treated successfully with a Jostent Peripheral Stent-Graft. The first patient died 17 months after treatment, and the second was well, with an excluded false aneurysm, at the 6-month follow-up. Conclusions: Stent-graft repair may be an appropriate and effective treatment for some traumatic arterial lesions.

Background: Arterial involvement is a rare but serious condition in the course of Behçet’s disease. We aimed to assess the results of therapeutic approaches in our patients with arterial lesions caused by Behçet’s disease. Patients and methods: The records of 534 patients with Behçet’s disease between 1987 and 2002 were retrospectively evaluated for the presence of arterial lesions. All patients were followed up regularly at 3 to 6 months intervals. Results: Arterial lesions were diagnosed in 21 (3.9%) patients. Eight of these patients had pulmonary artery aneurysms (PAA), and the other 13 patients had non-pulmonary arterial lesions. Urgent surgical intervention was performed in three patients with PAA leading to death in all three. In addition, three other patients died due to massive haemoptysis at home despite to immunosuppressive therapy. Only two out of eight patients with PAA are still alive who were treated with cyclophophamide and corticosteroids. Thirteen operations were performed in 7 out of 13 patients having non-pulmonary arterial lesions. Although ten of the operations were primary operations, three reoperations had to be performed. A stent-graft was applied for the management of an iliac artery aneurysm in one patient. Only one patient died 8 years after the first non-pulmonary arterial involvement following a type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Five patients with arterial occlusive lesions were successfully treated by corticosteroids. Conclusions: Pulmonary artery aneurysms in Behçet’s disease patients have a poor prognosis despite any form of therapy. High dose corticosteroids alone can be successfully used for isolated non-pulmonary arterial occlusive lesions, unless disabling symptoms occur. Surgery or stent-graft insertion is indicated for non-pulmonary arterial aneurysms because these aneurysms entail high risk of complications.

Previous research documenting the chronology of the cellular interactions that occur on or below the surface of the endothelium during the initiation and progression of arterial lesions, primarily consisted of descriptive studies. The recent development of lower cost image analysis hardware and software has facilitated the collection of high resolution quantitative data from microscopic images. In this report we present preliminary quantitative data on the sequence of cellular interactions that occur on the endothelium during the initiation of atherosclerosis or vasculitis utilizing digital analysis of images obtained directly from the scanning electron microscope. Segments of both atherosclerotic and normal arteries were obtained from either diet-induced or endogenously (WHHL) hypercholesterolemic rabbits following 1-4 months duration of hypercholesterolemia and age matched control rabbits. Vasculitis was induced in rats following placement of an endotoxin soaked thread adjacent to the adventitial surface of arteries.

Abstract. Background: In this study, we investigated the patency of endovascular stent grafts in haemodialysis patients with arteriovenous grafts, the modes of patency loss, and the risk factors for re-intervention. Patients and methods: Haemodialysis patients with graft-vein anastomotic stenosis of their arteriovenous grafts who were treated with endovascular stent-grafts between 2008 and 2013 were entered into this retrospective study. Primary and secondary patency, modes of patency loss, and risk factors for intervention were recorded. Results: Cumulative circuit primary patency rates decreased from 40.0 % at 6 months to 7.3 % at 24 months. Cumulative target lesion primary patency rates decreased from 72.1 % at 6 months to 22.0 % at 24 months. Cumulative secondary patency rates decreased from 81.3 % at 12 months to 31.6 % at 36 months. Patients with a history of cerebrovascular accident had a significantly higher risk of secondary patency loss, and graft puncture site stenosis jeopardised the results of stent-graft treatment. Conclusions: Our data can help to improve outcomes in haemodialysis patients treated with stent-grafts for venous anastomosis of an arteriovenous graft.
