Cases and resources in vascular techniques
This section provides a selection of cases and resources provided by experts in vascular techniques.
In this exclusive interview, Alexandre Oliny, member of the PVI 2024 Social Media Team, speaks with Lorenzo Patrone just after the first-ever PVI session dedicated to social media.
In this PVI 2024 interview, Dr. Mauro Gargiulo explores the growing role of CO2 angiography in EVAR. This technique reduces contrast media use, lowers the risk of acute kidney injury, and enhances procedural precision by improving endoleak detection and optimizing endograft placement. Already tested in FEVAR and BEVAR, CO2 angiography is paving the way for safer, more effective aortic interventions.
At PVI 2024, Dr. Tara Mastracci emphasizes the importance of managing blood pressure and using remote monitoring in type B aortic dissection. She explains how proper hypertension control can improve outcomes and change the disease's progression, especially in acute cases.
In this PVI 2024 interview, Dr. Sarah Thomis discusses the latest advancements in treating superficial venous disease.
In this PVI 2024 session, Koen Deloose delves into the BIO-OSCAR SOC trial, discussing the challenges of current endovascular procedures and how the Oscar multifunctional device offers an all-in-one solution. He highlights the findings of this BIO-OSCAR Standard of Care study, focusing on crossing success rates, vessel preparation, and the impact of lesion complexity on cost and efficiency.

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 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.
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!’
Fausto Castriota, speaking with Jean Sénémaud, from the #pvi Social Media Team, discusses the latest techniques in carotid artery treatment, focusing on stroke prevention.
Dr. Peter Schneider and Dr. Alexandre Oliny, from the #pvi Social Media Team, discuss the evolving landscape of carotid artery surgery and stenting.
