Abstract

The purpose of this study was to define the incidence and treatment of endograft limb stenosis or occlusion (endograft limb dysfunction [ELD]) in a single center with the ANCURE unsupported bifurcated or aortouniiliac endograft by using intraoperative completion angiography and postoperative color duplex ultrasound scanning (CDU). Sixty-seven endografts (58 bifurcated, 9 uniiliac) were implanted between February 1996 and July 2000. Intraoperative completion aortography was performed in every patient. Postoperative assessment of the endograft consisted of CDU and computed tomography scanning and kidney, ureter and bladder radiographs within 7 days of implantation, at 3 and 6 months after the operation, and every 6 months thereafter. At the time of endograft implantation, widely patent normal-appearing endograft limbs were revealed by means of the initial completion angiogram in 58 of 67 patients (group 1). ELD subsequently developed in seven of these 58 patients (13.4%). The results of the completion angiogram were not normal in the remaining nine patients (group 2), leading to the deployment of a self-expanding stent within the endograft limbs. The results of subsequent angiography were normal. No ELD has occurred in any patien...Continue Reading

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Ataxia

Ataxia is a neurological condition characterized by lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements including loss of coordination, balance, and speech. Discover the latest research on ataxia here.

Ataxias (MDS)

Ataxia is a neurological condition characterized by lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements including loss of coordination, balance, and speech. Discover the latest research on ataxia here.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.
