Retroperitoneal Versus Direct Femoral Artery Approach for Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair Access: A Case–Control Study

Iliofemoral complications associated with thoracic endovascular aortic repair: Frequency, risk factors, and early and late outcomes

“…Similar results focusing just on patients undergoing TEVAR have been reported by Etezadi and colleagues. 11 There was no significant difference in mortality in either study, which led the authors to conclude that although retroperitoneal procedures are significantly associated with longer hospital stay and more complications, such surgical procedures can significantly expand the number of patients who can undergo endovascular repair.…”

Iliac Conduits for Endovascular Repair of Aortic Pathologies

“…11,13,14 However association of outcome and use of iliac conduit was not specifically investigated irrespective of gender in these studies. Etezadi et al 15 recently reviewed their experience with use of conduits in 133 consecutive patients but were not able to show a significantly worse outcome in the 19 patients requiring retroperitoneal iliac access.…”

Impella 5.0 Support in Severe Peripheral Vascular Disease via Iliac Artery Approach

“…3,4 These grafts have a similar external diameter to the Impella 5.0 (22Y26 F external diameter) and therefore share many of the same access limitations as the Impella 5.0 device. 3,4 These grafts have a similar external diameter to the Impella 5.0 (22Y26 F external diameter) and therefore share many of the same access limitations as the Impella 5.0 device.…”

“…Iliac artery access has been used for placement of endovascular stent grafts for thoracic aortic aneurysm. 3,4 These grafts have a similar external diameter to the Impella 5.0 (22Y26 F external diameter) and therefore share many of the same access limitations as the Impella 5.0 device.…”
