Cases and resources in vascular techniques

Dr. Sukgu Han discusses why renal artery target vessel patency is a key challenge in endovascular TAAA repair and explores strategies—from antiplatelet therapy to bridging stent design—that may improve long-term outcomes.

At PVI 2025, Prof. Saratzis weighs in on a tough SFA CTO scenario: endovascular procedure or another route? A one-minute insight that might change how you think about these cases.

This multicentre ALIVE Registry analysis compares endovascular, hybrid, and open surgical revascularisation strategies in acute lower limb ischaemia. Endovascular treatment was associated with lower risks of major amputation and comparable survival at 3 years, supporting its role as a first-line approach in selected patients.

The management of aortic arch pathology is frequently demanding and poses significant anatomical challenges, ranging from open surgery to hybrid debranching procedures and, ultimately, total endovascular approaches. 

Which drug-coated balloon is better for femoropopliteal artery disease: sirolimus or paclitaxel? The SIRONA trial compared both at 12 months, looking at vessel patency and key clinical outcomes.
Discover how sirolimus-coated balloons stack up as a safe and effective alternative to paclitaxel!

At PVI 2025, Claire Webster explores the impact of social media on vascular surgery: its educational value, its risks, and the responsibility that comes with sharing cases online. A concise look at how digital platforms can support practice without replacing human interaction.

This case explores the management of a unilateral total iliac artery occlusion in a high-risk patient with advanced peripheral arterial disease. Through imaging findings and clinical presentation, it invites reflection on treatment options, weighing endovascular and surgical strategies in the context of symptom severity, collateral circulation, and overall cardiovascular risk.

At PVI 2025, Dr. Piotr Musialek explains how carotid stenting has evolved from simple stent placement to a precise approach: rigorous lesion preparation, pre- and post-dilatation, and full vessel optimisation. The PARADIGM-500 study shows this strategy reduces in-stent restenosis and eliminates stent thrombosis compared with earlier-generation 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.
