Iatrogenesis imperfecta: stroke caused by accidental carotid artery catheterization.
CONCLUSION:: Even with ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization, it is essential to remain vigilant for the early detection of vascular complications. Clinical suspicion combined with diagnostic modalities such as chest radiograph, transduction and manometry can increase the detection rates. PMID: 25041919 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Subclavian Stump Syndrome Causing a Posterior Circulation Stroke after Thoracic Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (TEVAR) with Adjunctive Carotid to Subclavian Bypass and Endovascular Embolization of the Left Subclavian Artery
Conclusions: Consideration should be given to ligating the subclavian artery immediately proximal to the vertebral artery origin when performing adjunctive carotid subclavian bypass during TEVAR. If this is not done, surveillance computed tomography scans should monitor for the development of propagating thrombus in the subclavian stump.

Management of common carotid artery dissection due to extension from acute type A (DeBakey I) aortic dissection
Conclusions: CCAD, due to extension from aortic arch dissection, has a low risk of subsequent stroke after the initial event. Based on current data, there is little evidence to suggest that aortic origin CCAD requires repair in the absence of recurrent symptoms, regardless of the degree of stenosis or false-lumen patency. Recommended optimal medical therapy includes either aspirin or anticoagulation for 6 months after initial presentation. Additional longitudinal studies are needed.

Carotid Artery Free-Floating Thrombus Caused by Paradoxical Embolization From Greater Saphenous Vein Ascending Thrombophlebitis
We report a case of a young woman without cardiovascular risk factors who was admitted to our emergency department with listlessness and altered mental status. The clinical examination revealed right lower limb swelling. Magnetic resonance imaging and contrast-enhanced computed tomographic scans revealed a free floating thrombus of the left internal carotid artery (ICA) with a large bilateral frontal ischemic lesion. The diagnosis of a medium-sized PFO with moderate right-to-left contrast shunting was made after transesophageal echocardiography. No other cardiac sources for embolization were detected, while an ascending th...

Results of carotid artery stenting with transcervical access
Conclusions: CAS with the transcervical approach is a safe procedure with low incidence of stroke and complications. It can be used as an alternative to femoral access in patients with unfavorable aortoiliac or aortic arch anatomy.

Assessment of Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair Using Relay Proximal Scallop: Results of a French Prospective Multicentre Study
CONCLUSION: One year outcomes showed that the Relay proximal scallop stent graft is an acceptable answer to aortic thoracic disease to deal with short proximal landing zones.PMID:37567339 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejvs.2023.08.002

Midterm Outcomes of Carotid-to-Carotid Bypass for Hybrid Treatment of Aortic Arch Disease
Conclusions: CCBs are durable at midterm follow-up. No relevant superiority was identified between the 2 types of CCB; subcutaneous and retropharyngeal routes proved to be equally safe.

Balloon tamponade repair after inadvertent subclavian artery catheterization.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with inadvertent subclavian artery catheterization, balloon tamponade is an effective first step in management, with primary technical success approaching 100% in cases of single lumen injury. It appears less effective in patients with double lumen injury. However, the ease of transition from balloon tamponade to stent placement supports an initial attempt at hemostasis with tamponade prior to placement of a permanent stent.

Long-term Outcome After EndoVAC Hybrid Repair of Infected Vascular Reconstructions.
CONCLUSION: The EndoVAC technique is an alternative, less invasive, option for treatment of infected vascular reconstructions in selected cases, when neither traditional radical surgery, nor conservative simple negative pressure wound therapy are considered feasible or safe. The exact indications for this alternative hybrid treatment need to be established. PMID: 26944600 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Contemporary Management of Type B Aortic Dissection in the Endovascular Era.
Authors: Bannazadeh M, Tadros RO, McKinsey J, Chander R, Marin ML, Faries PL Abstract Aortic dissection (AD) is one of the most common catastrophic pathologies affecting the aorta. Anatomic classification is based on the origin of entry tear and its extension. Type A dissections originate in the ascending aorta, whereas the entry tear in Type B dissections starts distal to the left subclavian artery. The patients with aortic dissection who manifest complications such as rupture, malperfusion, aneurysmal degeneration, and intractable pain are classified as complicated AD. Risk factors for developing aortic dissectio...

Late Retrograde Migration of a Left Subclavian Artery Chimney Stent-Graft Into the Innominate Artery
Conclusion: Migration of the proximal end of an overly long chimney graft that moved freely in the aortic arch exposed the patient to a high risk of stroke and death. Because of the high-risk situation, open repair under circulatory arrest was elected to remove the proximal end of the chimney graft, with no major complications.

Combined brachial embolectomy and stent graft endovascular exclusion in the treatment of acute arm ischemia due to subclavian artery aneurysms thrombosis or distal embolization.
CONCLUSION: Endovascular repair is a less invasive alternative to open repair especially in high risk patients. long term results must still be confirmed in further studies. KEY WORDS: Arm ischemia, Endovascular treatment, Subclavian aneurysm. PMID: 27807319 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Hypertension, Acute Stent Thrombosis, and Paraplegia 6  Months after Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair for Blunt Thoracic Aortic Injury in a 22-Year-Old Patient
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a less invasive option for managing traumatic injuries of the descending aorta in polytraumatized patients. Concerns arise when treating young patients with TEVAR. A 22-year-old male was admitted to the emergency department following a high-impact road traffic collision. Whole-body computed tomography (CT) scan documented multiple injuries, including rupture of descending thoracic aorta just below the isthmus. There was no evidence of paraplegia or stroke.

Haemodynamics of Different Configurations of a Left Subclavian Artery Stent Graft for Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair.
CONCLUSION: Arterial haemodynamic characteristics are affected by LSA branched stent graft configurations, with pressure drops and energy losses likely to be clinically insignificant. The length of the stent graft protrusion into the aortic lumen generated the largest haemodynamic variations in the aortic system. Protrusions up to 5 mm have smaller risk of potential thrombus generation. Conversely, larger protrusions into the aortic lumen showed more disturbed haemodynamics, suggesting a greater risk of potential thrombus formation, which may be clinically important over time.

A Novel Shaggy Aorta Scoring System to Predict Embolic Complications Following Thoracic Endovascular Aneurysm Repair.
CONCLUSIONS: This shaggy score is a useful method to predict post-operative embolic complications following TEVAR. Because the risk of embolic complications was relatively high in patients with a high shaggy score, the indication for TEVAR in such patients should be considered carefully.
