Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms: At What Size Should We Intervene?
WEBThoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a potentially life-threatening disorder that without intervention carries a poor prognosis. Once diagnosed, the 3-year survival for large degenerative TAAs (> 60 mm in diameter) is approximately 20%. 1 Hospital admissions in the United Kingdom for TAAs have doubled in the last decade, and von Allmen and colleagues reported a TAA hospital admission rate of nine ...

Iliac Vein Stenting: Best Practices for Patient Safety and Successful ...
WEBFor a chronically occluded vein, stent sizing can be based on known normal diameters of iliac veins: 14 to 16 mm for the CIV, 12 to 14 mm for the external iliac vein (EIV), and 10 to 12 mm for the CFV. 19 The length of stent (s) needed is determined most efficiently by the IVUS catheter, which has radiopaque markers.

WEBCTA improves preoperative planning. Calcified lesions, particularly at the iliac ostium, are best treated with balloon-expandable stents. SESs are generally more appropriate for EIAs, although the Viabahn VBX device has been shown to be just as effective5. Covered stents provide greater durability and safety compared to bare-metal stents.

WEBEndovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has revolutionized treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms. However, the applicability of EVAR continues to be challenged in patients with unfavorable anatomy because of inadequate proximal or distal landing zones or involvement of the renal, mesenteric, and iliac arteries. 1 In these patients, exclusion of one or both internal iliac arteries and extension ...
Ten Lessons Learned in Iliac Venous Stenting - Endovascular Today
WEBA major surprise from our iliac stenting experiences was the unexpectedly high long-term patency in a vascular bed prone to thrombosis with low-pressure, slow flow. 11 The overall stent thrombosis rate (noncumulative) was < 5% and was almost exclusive to postthrombotic limbs and extremely rare in nonthrombotic limbs. 12 The metal load was well tolerated and was not thrombogenic per se, thus ...
