Cases and resources in vascular techniques
This section provides a selection of cases and resources provided by experts in vascular techniques.
Interventional radiologist Robert Jones addresses the common challenge of perforated stenosis in the deep vein near the anastomosis, a leading cause of endoAVF failure. Robert explains that this type of stenosis is often resistant to balloon angioplasty, making covered stents a promising option for future reinterventions in this area.
In this special PVI Course 2024 session, experts present key findings from recent studies on lower extremity treatments.
In this brief interview from PVI Course 2024, Andrej Schmidt discusses two innovative approaches in vascular surgery. First, he highlights a bioresorbable scaffold study, which shows promising results in improving patency and reducing re-interventions for frail patients with critical limb ischemia below the knee, while noting its limitations in treating long, calcified, or very distal lesions. He also delves into the encouraging early outcomes of a totally percutaneous bypass technique, offering a simplified method for addressing complex femoropopliteal lesions, including chronic total occlusions and restenoses.
Highlights include the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous axillary artery access for complex EVAR, AI-based risk prediction for spinal cord ischemia after EVAR, and the benefits of remote monitoring and blood pressure management after Type B dissection.
Explore key insights into managing carotid artery disease, from stroke risk in asymptomatic patients and tandem lesion strategies to the benefits of routine imaging post-endarterectomy, safe transfemoral CAS tips, challenges of post-radiotherapy stenosis, and the role of IVL for calcified lesions.
Barbara Rantner shares her insights on the ‘Live in the Box - Carotid’ session at #pvi Course 2024, where she delivered a compelling presentation titled ‘Routine completion imaging after carotid endarterectomy makes the difference!’
