Abstract

Atheroembolization following aortoiliac stent placement is uncommon. The purpose of this study was to examine the management and risk factors of lower extremity atheroembolization following aortoiliac stent placement for occlusive disease. From March 1993 to February 2001, the hospital records of all patients who developed thromboembolic events following aortoiliac stent placement were reviewed. Risk factor analysis was performed by comparing with the control group, which consisted of 493 patients treated with aortoiliac stents during the study period who did not develop atheroembolic complications. Patients with cardiac etiologies or aortic aneurysms as the source of embolization as well as those who developed acute embolization following stent deployment (<30 days) were excluded. Atheroembolization occurred in eight patients (12 iliac artery stents and 1 aortic stent) at intervals ranging from 9 to 43 months (mean 22 months) following aortoiliac stent placement. Arteriography in all patients implicated the stented artery as the source of atheroembolism. Five corrective operations (two aorto-bifemoral bypasses, one ileofemoral bypass, and two aortoiliac endarterectomies) along with two concomitant femoropopliteal thrombectomie...Continue Reading

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

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.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
