Fractionated extraction of extruding lower extremity arteriovenous fistula venous Wallstent
An occluded external iliac venous stent was found eroding through the thigh six years after placement to maintain lower extremity arteriovenous patency. Open retroperitoneal removal was advised, but the patient was too frail for open surgery and was lost

Endovascular treatment of superior vena cava syndrome: case report and review of the literature [PDF]
We report a case of a patient with symptomatic benign superior vena cava syndrome treated by the endovascular technique. The angiographic resonance before angioplasty showed extensive thrombosis of the left brachiocephalic trunk, left subclavian vein and

Novel 3D-CT evaluation of carotid stent volume: greater chronological expansion of stents in patients with vulnerable plaques [PDF]
Although self-expanding carotid stents may dilate gradually, the degrees of residual stenosis have been quantified by the NASCET criteria, which is too simple to reflect the configuration of the stented artery. We measured the volumes of the stent lumens

Arterial stenting with self-expandable and balloon-expandable endoprostheses [PDF]
Coronary angioplasty is complicated by acute occlusion (within 24 hours) and late restenosis (within 6 months) in 2-5% and 20-40% of the cases, respectively.

Comparison of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt with covered stent and balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration in managing isolated gastric varices [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Although a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is commonly placed to manage isolated gastric varices, balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) has also been used. We compare the long-term outcomes from these

Percutaneous snare retrieval of a partially embedded wallstent [PDF]
AbstractAlthough removal of a stent is a well described method for treating an acutely dislodged or embolized device, removal of a previously deployed stent is unusual. We describe a case where a partially dislodged wallstent in a saphenous vein graft was removed using a snare to permit deployment of a balloon mounted stent across a proximal vein graft
