Cases and resources in vascular techniques

This section provides a selection of cases and resources provided by experts in vascular techniques.

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.

A comprehensive session exploring advanced strategies for CLTI management: from novel anatomical concepts like the "woundosome," to endovascular breakthroughs, bypass pearls, and the challenges of deep venous arterialisation. Expert speakers share data, experience, and open questions shaping the future of limb salvage.

This PVI 2024 session explored advanced aortic techniques, including in situ laser fenestrations (ISLF) for urgent arch and thoracoabdominal pathologies. The session also covered challenges in starting an endovascular aortic program, physician-modified endografts (PMEG) without patient-specific templates, acute Type B dissection management, FET techniques, and troubleshooting four-branch endograft bridging stent dislodgement.

Replay this PVI 2024 aortic session to explore how vascular and cardiac surgeons can work together to improve outcomes in frozen elephant trunk repair. Gain key cardiology insights every vascular surgeon should know, see how fully retrograde branches to the supra-aortic trunks are used during arch repair, and discover how aortic wrapping can secure long-term results after arch and TAAA F/BEVAR.

In this PVI Course 2024 session replay, experts provide an in-depth discussion on the latest approaches to treating aorto-iliac occlusive disease, explore the EVOCC Trial, recent RCTs in vascular surgery, and the role of paclitaxel-coated devices in femoropopliteal interventions, as well as the evolving understanding of limus-based drug-eluting technologies. The session also covers treatment options for long SFA lesions, vessel preparation for endo CFA, and the potential of resorbable scaffolds for ATK and BTK lesions, with key insights from the SOL Japan Trial.

This publication review evaluates treatment trends for acute limb ischemia (ALI) in Japan, comparing the efficacy and safety of endovascular therapy (EVT) versus open surgical revascularization (OSR) using data from the JROAD-DPC database. The study found that, overall, EVT was less effective than OSR for ALI, except in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
