An expert panel on the treatment of type B intramural haematoma (IMH) and penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer (PAU) consisting of cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists reviewed the literature to develop treatment algorithms using a consensus method. Data from 46 studies considered relevant were retrieved for a total of 1386 patients consisting of 925 with IMH, and 461 with PAU. The weighted mean 30-day mortality from IMH was 3.9%, 3-year aortic event-related mortality with medical treatment 5...

Conventional revascularization of the lower extremities secondary to aortoiliac atherosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD) involves major intra-abdominal surgery with aortobifemoral bypass grafting. Complication rates are as high as 10% and perioperative mortality can be as high as 5%; therefore, careful patient selection is paramount. Endovascular aortobifemoral bypass repair with aortic bifurcation reconstruction is an emerging option in patients deemed unsuitable for conventional surgical management. Emerging techniques such as snorkel/chimney method are expanding the number of patients who can undergo endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms and/or revascularization of the lower extremities...

Despite the improvement in endovascular techniques, one aspect of aneurysmal disease that continues to be challenging is the management of aortoiliac aneurysms. Sacrificing the hypogastric artery (HGA) for effective treatment is not without sequelae, which may include buttocks claudication, colonic ischemia, spinal cord ischemia, as well as buttock and scrotal necrosis. This should be taken into consideration particularly in patients with previous intervention or potential additional future interventions. This review describes the current endovascular techniques for preservation of HGA perfusion...

BACKGROUND: Cannulation of the radial artery is frequently performed for invasive hemodynamic monitoring. Complications arising from indwelling catheters have been described in small case series; however, their surgical management is not well described. Understanding the presentation and management of such complications is imperative to offer optimal treatment, particularly because the radial artery is increasingly accessed for percutaneous coronary interventions. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review to identify patients who underwent surgical intervention for complications arising from indwelling radial artery catheters from 1997 to 2011...

Spontaneous intracranial artery dissection is an uncommon and probably underdiagnosed cause of stroke that is defined by the occurrence of a haematoma in the wall of an intracranial artery. Patients can present with headache, ischaemic stroke, subarachnoid haemorrhage, or symptoms associated with mass effect, mostly on the brainstem. Although intracranial artery dissection is less common than cervical artery dissection in adults of European ethnic origin, intracranial artery dissection is reportedly more common in children and in Asian populations...

Recurrent hemarthrosis is an uncommon but troublesome complication following knee arthroplasty. This study reports the results for 13 patients with spontaneous recurrent hemarthrosis after knee arthroplasty treated with arterial embolization. The average interval between arthroplasty and embolization was 47 months (range, 2-103 months), and the average time from onset of hemarthrosis to embolization was 4.1 months (range, 1-11 months). Geniculate arterial embolization lead to resolution of hemarthrosis in 12 of 13 patients (92...

BACKGROUND: Patients with a recent vertebrobasilar transient ischaemic attack or ischaemic stroke and vertebral artery stenosis of at least 50% have a high risk of future vertebrobasilar stroke. Stenting of vertebral artery stenosis is promising, but of uncertain benefit. We investigated the safety and feasibility of stenting of symptomatic vertebral artery stenosis of at least 50%, and assessed the rate of vascular events in the vertebrobasilar supply territory to inform the design of a phase 3 trial...

BACKGROUND: Endovascular adjuncts, like atherectomy, were developed to improve outcomes of endovascular arterial interventions. The true impact of atherectomy on endovascular outcomes remains to be determined, and little data exist on the influence of atherectomy on tibial interventions. Our study compares early and late outcomes of tibial intervention with angioplasty vs atherectomy-assisted interventions. METHODS: We completed a retrospective review of all tibial interventions between 2008 and 2010...
