Cases and resources in vascular techniques
This section provides a selection of cases and resources provided by experts in vascular techniques.
This PVI webinar replay explores complex EVAR cases. Prof. Verhoeven presents 10-year GREAT Registry outcomes, Prof. Bicknell shares CLEVAR Registry insights on hostile necks, and Prof. Yeung highlights long-term registry data. Lively discussions and live audience questions reveal practical guidance for everyday decision-making.
Nearly one in four below-knee amputations required revision. In this cohort of 212 patients, profunda femoris patency was the strongest predictor of stump healing, whereas prior revascularisation did not reduce revision risk, underscoring the importance of preoperative inflow assessment.
This case explores the management of a complex subclavian vein intra-stent occlusion in a haemodialysis patient, raising key questions when standard endovascular options reach their limits.
The BEASTARS data suggest that, even after optimal lesion preparation, the superior patency of DES over DCB does not translate into better clinical outcomes, challenging how success is defined in femoropopliteal interventions.
Prof. Peter Schneider discusses the role of transcarotid artery revascularisation (TCAR) in high-risk carotid disease, focusing on patients with recent symptoms and contralateral carotid artery occlusion. Drawing on large real-world data, he reviews outcomes compared with carotid endarterectomy and transfemoral stenting, and highlights where TCAR fits in contemporary practice.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of rotational thrombectomy using Rotarex S followed by drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for the treatment of femoropopliteal in-stent restenosis (RIS).
Prof. Secemsky explains how medico-administrative databases are transforming research and decision-making in lower-extremity arterial disease. Real-world evidence complements limited clinical trial data, helping clinicians navigate safety challenges and better understand device performance in complex patient populations. This interview explores how multiple data sources can guide practical, patient-centered decisions for emerging therapies.
This PVI 2025 replay shows how next-generation HOR imaging supports complex EVAR through a real-life, step-by-step case. Advanced imaging tools, including AI-based cone-beam CT, are highlighted for their ability to improve image quality by reducing pulsatile artifacts—without adding steps to the workflow—helping refine assessment and decision-making during challenging aortic procedures.
This PVI 2025 symposium replay examines post-CREST-2 carotid stenting through the case of a 71-year-old woman with prior stroke. Learn about MicroNET-covered stents (CGuard) and the latest clinical evidence guiding CAS, CEA, and TCAR procedures.
In this PVI 2025 interview, Prof. Yeung and Dr. Lareyre discuss how physician-modified endovascular grafts can be better standardised through structured planning and digital tools. They explore the role of virtual and augmented reality in improving fenestration accuracy, the importance of tailoring grafts to individual anatomy, and why close team coordination remains essential throughout the process.
