Purpose: To report the use of the Nellix endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) system in the management of proximal stent-graft collapse associated with thrombosis following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Case Report: A 76-year-old man was admitted for proximal collapse of an aortic extension following bifurcated AFX stent-graft implantation associated with chimney grafts in both renal arteries and the superior mesenteric artery 1 month prior. Imaging identified thrombosis of the aortic stent-graft and the iliac limbs. A Nellix EVAS was placed into the AFX stent-graft to recanalize the aneurysm lumen and address the aortic thrombosis. There was no endoleak, and the renovisceral chimney stent-grafts remained patent over a follow-up of 25 months. Conclusion: While further studies are required to generalize its use, EVAS appears to be feasible in the management of aortic stent-graft collapse.

Aneurysm Repair

We present 3 cases of type IIIb endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) using the Zenith stent graft system. Type III endoleak, like type I endoleak, is a high-pressure, high-risk leak that increases sac pressure up to or even above arterial pressure, and is associated with an increased frequency of open conversions or risk of aneurysm rupture. Type IIIb endoleak is rare but there is much concern that the incidence of type IIIb endoleak is likely to increase hereafter; the mechanism of type IIIb endoleak is deterioration of graft fabric in conjunction with stent sutures. Type IIIb endoleak is difficult to diagnose before rupture. The possibility of type IIIb endoleak should be highly suspected when the continued growth of an excluded aneurysm sac without direct radiologic evidence is observed during follow-up. Type IIIb endoleak can be repaired by relining of the stent graft with additional stent grafts.

Push Up

Purpose: To describe a technique suitable for treating severely angulated (>75°) necks during endovascular aneurysm repair using the Endurant stent-graft. Technique: In the push-up technique, the suprarenal stent is released early to fix the proximal stent-graft in place so that each stent in the neck can be deployed individually without displacing the device upward. It is important to push the delivery system up after each stent deployment to allow the fabric between the stents to fold up circumferentially. By doing so, there is minimal upward force applied to the suprarenal stent. Because the stents expand along the angulated neck while catching blood flow, this anatomical deployment is feasible, with hardly any change to the proximal neck shape after stent-graft implantation. Conclusion: The push-up technique and anatomical deployment with the Endurant stent-graft system are effective and safe methods for treating aneurysms with severely angulated necks.

Abstract Aim Stent-grafts are finding a place in the treatment of femoral pseudoaneurysms (FpsAs), having been described in the treatment of infected pseudoaneurysms. We present the results of endovascular treatment of non-infected FpsAs using stent-grafts. Methods Case series of patients who underwent stent-graft coverage of FpsAs from January 2016 to December 2020. Stent-graft fractures, occlusions and reinterventions, length of stay (LOS) and 30-day mortality were assessed. Results 11 patients (mean age 75±10.3 years, 7 males; all ASA 3 or 4) underwent stent-graft coverage of FpsAs. Original procedures linked to the formation of FpsA were iliofemoral bypass (n = 3), femorofemoral crossover (n = 3), percutaneous coronary interventions (n = 2), aortobifemoral bypass (n = 1), endovascular aneurysm repair (n = 1) and femoral endarterectomy (n = 1). 3 patients had previous open FpsA repair. Technical success of deployment was 100%. Stent-grafts used included Viabahn Endoprosthesis (WL Gore & Associates, Flagstaff USA; n = 8), Viabahn VBX (WL Gore & Associates; n = 1) and BeGraft (Bentley InnoMed GmbH, Hechingen, Germany; n = 2). All patients were maintained on either antiplatelets or anticoagulant. 10 patients were available for analysis (1 lost to follow-up); radiological follow-up included initial computed tomography angiography and later combined duplex ultrasonography/plain radiography. Median LOS was 4 days (IQR 4). 30-day mortality was 0%. Median survival was 12 months (IQR 17). There was one stent-graft occlusion requiring thrombectomy but no fractures were observed in this series. Conclusions This small series suggests that there may be a role for stent-grafts in treatment of FpsAs in carefully selected patients. Given lack of data on long-term outcomes, continued surveillance is recommended.

Purpose: To evaluate the early and midterm outcomes after stent-graft implantation for dissection in the descending thoracic aorta. Methods: Sixteen custom-made endovascular stent-grafts were implanted in 15 patients (10 men; mean age 55.9 ± 13.7 years, range 32–82) with descending thoracic aortic dissection. Indications for stent-graft implantation were persistent symptoms unresponsive to medical treatment or progressive enlargement of the false lumen. Clinical and imaging surveillance with computed tomography was performed within 1 month of the procedure and at 3 to 6-month intervals in follow-up. Results: Endovascular stent-graft implantation at the target site was successful in 14 (93%) patients; 1 device migrated, leaving the false lumen open to flow in the failed case. One (7%) patient who was treated emergently for rupture died suddenly 2 days after the procedure. Over an average follow-up of 31.5 ± 23.8 months, 1 (7%) patient died and 2 (14%) patients underwent surgical treatment due to recurrent dissection. The remaining 10 patients showed complete thrombosis of the false lumen; in 3, the false lumen completely resolved. Conclusions: Endovascular stent-graft implantation in descending thoracic aortic dissection is a feasible, safe, and effective treatment modality. However, further studies are necessary in a greater number of patients to determine if wider application of this minimally invasive procedure is justified.

Objective: Aortic diseases remain an acute and debatable problem. Among all the aortic pathologies, the most dangerous are dynamic aneurysmal expansion, traumatic dissections and / or aneurysms, pure aortic intima dissections. Contemporary and less invasive treatment method is the stent graft implantation into aorta. This report describes the first experience of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in the Kyrgyz Republic in consecutive patients with life-threatening aortic conditions. Methods: Nine patients, who underwent TEVAR and EVAR, were presented after all clinical examinations, echocardiography and computed tomography angiography with various life-threatening aortic diseases. Among the pathologies there were 2 (22.2%) dissections only, traumatic aneurysm 1 (11.1%), aneurysm without dissection 1 (11.1%), aneurysm with intimal dissection 5 (55.6%). Seven patients with dissection had type B (The Stanford classification). Results: TEVAR was performed in eight cases EVAR just in one. All patients reached the 6-month endpoint.  None of the following, such as aneurysm expansion, aneurysm thrombosis or a functioning of false lumen at the sites of the stent graft implantation have been recorded. In addition, no further progression of the false lumen below the implantation zones was visualized. Mean diameter of stent grafts was 31.4 ± 4.8 mm and  188.9 ± 34.6 mm in length. Conclusion: This modest observation showed the effectiveness of stent grafts implantation procedures in various aortic life-threatening conditions, such as aneurysm and / or aortic intima dissection.

We present a case of a 72-year-old male with an abdominal aortic aneurysm status post-endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Follow-up imaging demonstrated an enlarging type II endoleak and attempts at transarterial coil embolization of the inferior mesenteric artery were unsuccessful. The patient underwent image-guided percutaneous translumbar type II endoleak repair using XperGuide (Philips, Andover, MA USA).

Purpose: To outline the complications encountered after endoluminal treatment in patients with type B aortic dissection. Methods: Between 1999 and 2001, 14 patients (12 men; mean age 60.3 years, range 39–79) with isolated type B aortic dissection (13 chronic, 1 acute) underwent aortic stent-grafting. Three patients with chronic dissection presented an acute clinical picture and were managed emergently. The left subclavian artery was intentionally covered by the prosthesis in 9 patients. Follow-up studies were performed at 6-month intervals. Results: Stent-graft implantation was technically successful in all patients, but incomplete sealing (endoleak) of the entry site required additional proximal stent-graft implantation in 4. The left subclavian artery remained patent in 5 patients. Secondary conversion was required in 3 patients: 2 for acute type A dissection resulting from injury to the aortic arch by Talent endografts and a sustained hemorrhage (left hemothorax). In another patient, a secondary intramural hematoma subsided spontaneously. Anterior spinal artery syndrome in 1 patient persisted at 1 month. No bypass was necessary for the 9 patients with the covered left subclavian arteries. Mean follow-up was 14 months (range 1–23). Conclusions: Stent-grafting is feasible in patients with type B aortic dissection, although it is associated with a considerable rate of complications. Frank reporting of these sequelae for a variety of stent-grafts is of paramount importance to clarifying the limitations of the method.
