Cases and resources in vascular techniques
This section provides a selection of cases and resources provided by experts in vascular techniques.
Explore the role of atherectomy in complex femoropopliteal lesions, from patient selection and stent avoidance to its combination with DCB.
A 75-mm saccular juxtarenal aneurysm had rapidly expanded in a patient with weight loss and an inflammatory response. What treatment strategy would you choose in this challenging setting?
How has embolisation evolved beyond emergency bleeding control? Dr Ruiz Chiriboga and Dr Lelij explore the expanding indications for embolisation, key decision-making factors, type II endoleak management, and the imaging advances that are transforming everyday vascular practice.
Why do many PAD patients still present too late? Dr Ralf Langhoff shares his perspective on the challenges facing PAD care in Europe and the actions needed to improve awareness, evidence generation and patient outcomes.
Paclitaxel-coated technologies have significantly improved outcomes after femoropopliteal interventions, but concerns over long-term mortality have remained. New evidence from the SWEDEPAD 2 trial has prompted a focused update of the 2024 ESVS Guidelines.
When a femoropopliteal bypass fails, the next step is rarely straightforward. Dr Prakash Krishnan discusses complex endovascular options, emerging technologies and the multidisciplinary decision-making needed to choose the best treatment for each patient.
Previous FEVAR adds complexity to every treatment decision. Analyse this challenging case of a 72-year-old man presenting with non-specific abdominal symptoms, evaluate the available therapeutic options and compare your choice with the authors' strategy.
Could endovascular-first become the next step in acute limb ischaemia care? Dr Zaharudin shares the Malaysian perspective.
Dr Mafalda Massara interviews Prof. Stephan Haulon on the evolving role of endovascular repair for acute type A aortic dissection, discussing patient selection, innovative device concepts and the technical considerations shaping this emerging approach.
Major lower limb amputation rates are falling globally, but this improvement is not evenly shared — with rising incidence still observed in low- and middle-income countries.
