This large case series of intestinal malrotation in the nonpediatric age group suggests that Ladd's procedure can be performed very safely. Moreover, the results suggest that patients with known malrotation should have Ladd's procedure performed electively rather than urgently.

Sac regression with all devices appears to have been favorably influenced by the new generation of graft materials and is improved compared with published reports of older generation graft materials for the AneuRx and Excluder. However, there is a trend toward greater sac regression with devices using Dacron vs PTFE. The relationship of aneurysm morphology and long-term effects on aortic stent grafts is yet to be determined.

IVUS is superior to venography for detection of residual thrombus and underlying venous pathology after pharmacomechanical thrombectomy. While greater clot lysis was seen with the AngioJet system, both the AngioJet and Trellis devices resulted in excellent clinical clot lysis.

We report a case of traumatic internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm near the skull base that was successfully treated with anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy and two overlapping bare stents placed under intravascular ultrasound guidance. Although incomplete exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm was seen on completion angiography, follow-up computed tomography angiography revealed complete resolution of the treated lesion. The patient remains asymptomatic at the 18-month clinical follow-up. This case report illustrates a successful endovascular treatment of a complex traumatic pseudoaneurysm with bare metal stenting using intravascular ultrasound guidance.
