Sirolimus-coated balloons (SCB) have demonstrated much promise as an alternative drug eluting device to the existing paclitaxel coated balloon platforms for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). They have been well tested pre-clinically and have demonstrated anti-restenotic effects as well as clinical safety in its use for treatment o...

Purpose To report the safety and efficacy of percutaneous transfemoral venous recanalization of occluded intrahepatic portosystemic stents (TIPS) in cases where the transjugular approach is not feasible. Materials and Methods Between 2000 and 2020, 8 patients with occluded TIPS underwent recanalization via a percutaneous transfemoral venous access....

Surgical treatment for PV (portal vein) stenosis/occlusion can pose a fatal risk of massive bleeding from severe adhesions and collateral vessel formation. PV stents placement is a minimally invasive and effective procedure for PV stenosis/occlusion, but PV stents sometimes occlude. The relationship between post-stent PV hemodynamics and stent occl...

Background Pathologic studies have shown that in patients with critical limb threatening ischaemia (CLTI) medial arterial calcifications are frequently found and may be responsible for aggravating the disease. These extensive calcifitcations are found not only in arteries of the leg but also in the coronary arteries and the aorta. The progression o...

Background A large aneurysmal renal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) can cause hypokalaemic hypertension due to activation of renin-aldosterone system due to steal effect from renal parenchyma. In comparison to nephrectomy, endovascular embolisation of renal AVF is minimally invasive and can be nephron sparing, thus preserving renal function. However, s...

Background Despite marked progress in endovascular treatment (EVT) techniques and devices, calcified lesions remain one of the toughest obstacles to EVT success. Moreover, because the common femoral artery (CFA) is known as a “non-stenting zone,” endovascular strategies for this area are controversial. Case presentation Here we describe the technic...

Background Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an established intervention to treat complicated portal hypertension refractory to medical or endoscopic management. TIPS dysfunction results in the recurrence of portal hypertension symptoms. In cases of TIPS dysfunction or persistent portal hypertension despite a patent primary TI...
