Endovascular management of traumatic cervicothoracic arteriovenous fistula

Abstract

Endovascular therapy is a promising alternative to surgery for selected patients with cervicothoracic arteriovenous fistula.

Long-term results of stent graft treatment of subclavian artery injuries: Management of choice for stable patients?

“…5,6 All stent grafts were placed via a percutaneous transfemoral approach. Bilateral transfemoral access (5F and 9F Cordis [Johnson & Johnson, Waterloo, Belgium] introducer sheaths) were obtained.…”

“…2,3 Endovascular repair offers an attractive alternative to open surgery for the management of these injuries and the safety and efficacy thereof has been previously reported. [4][5][6] Concerns regarding the long-term outcome in young trauma patients prevents general acceptance. This report describes the experience and long-term results of a single vascular unit with stent graft treatment of subclavian artery injuries.…”

Tratamento endovascular do trauma arterial dos membros

“…Today, minimally invasive techniques allow repair of acute or chronic lesions, thus avoiding a surgery that is often difficult, at a site where there is change of anatomic structures and intense bleeding. [6][7][8] However, regarding arterial trauma of extremities, therapy becomes a little more challenging. Perhaps for that reason there are few reports on endovascular treatment of trauma in peripheral arteries, whether in lower and upper limbs or in relation to mechanism of lesion, penetrating or blunt.…”

Extracranial Embolization

“…[14][15][16] However, the longterm patency of these devices is unknown. i) Vertebrovenous AVFs are usually post-traumatic, but may be spontaneous, 17,18 especially in children, or those with an underlying collagen vascular such as Ehlers Danlos or neuro fi bromatosis.…”
