Cases and resources in vascular techniques
This section provides a selection of cases and resources provided by experts in vascular techniques.
Dr. Marc Schermerhorn discusses outcomes after failed EVAR, comparing secondary FEVAR with primary procedures. He highlights reasons for increased sac growth in post-EVAR cases and shares practical tips for managing challenging anatomy such as tortuosity and short main bodies.
How are new endovascular devices changing pulmonary embolism treatment? In this PVI 2025 interview, Dr. Varinder Singh Bedi discusses current approaches, procedural tips, and the realities of pulmonary embolism management in India.
A 56-year-old patient presents with acute limb ischemia and complex multilevel arterial disease, including common femoral artery occlusion. What would be the optimal revascularisation strategy in this setting?
This PVI 2025 interview explores drug-coated balloons in BTK disease, with insights from the RANGER trial. It reviews key outcomes, including wound healing and amputation-free survival, and safety considerations around paclitaxel, including prior evidence such as SWEDEPAD. Practical implications for CLTI patient management are also discussed.
CBCT provides excellent 3D structural views in c-EVAR but lacks flow visualisation. Prof. Michele Antonello discusses how adding CO2 contrast bridges this gap, allowing surgeons to detect endoleaks and verify target vessels on the table—potentially making post-op CT scans obsolete.
Dr. Daniela Branzan highlights that effective spinal cord ischemia prevention in thoracoabdominal repair relies on identifying risk factors, staging the procedure, maintaining permissive hypertension, and ensuring close postoperative monitoring.
Prof. Peter Schneider puts BEST-CLI into perspective: bypass benefits a selected CLTI subgroup, while endovascular remains the mainstay in real-world practice.
A stepwise strategy combining rotational thrombectomy and DCB angioplasty achieves high patency rates and a favourable safety profile in complex femoropopliteal ISR.
A multi-institutional study validates the SVS Appropriate Use Criteria for intermittent claudication, showing that many revascularisations may be inappropriate, especially in patients with mild or moderate lifestyle limitations. Inappropriate procedures were linked to more reinterventions and major amputations, highlighting the AUC’s potential to reduce overuse and improve outcomes.
