Paclitaxel-Eluting Balloon vs Standard Angioplasty to Reduce Restenosis in Diabetic Patients With In-Stent Restenosis of the Superficial Femoral and Proximal Popliteal Arteries: Three-Year Results of the DEBATE-ISR Study
Conclusion: Using DEBs for femoropopliteal ISR yielded similar results to BA in terms of TLR at 3-year follow-up. The treatment of more complex ISR lesions was associated with an increased rate of TLR, irrespective of the technology used. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Global Experience With the Nellix Endosystem for Ruptured and Symptomatic Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Conclusion: EVAS in the acute setting appears safe and feasible and concordant with the literature for endovascular aneurysm repair. More robust prospective and comparative data are required to establish the position of the technique in the treatment algorithm of acute AAA. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Imaging After Nellix Endovascular Aneurysm Sealing: A Consensus Document
Endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) using the Nellix system is a new and different method of abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Normal postoperative imaging has unique appearances that change with time; complications also have different and specific appearances. This consensus document on the imaging findings after Nellix EVAS is based on the collective experience of the sites involved in the Nellix EVAS Global Forward Registry and the US Investigational Device Exemption Trial. The normal findings on computed tomography (CT), duplex ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and plain radiography are described. With time, end...

EVAR Guided by 3D Image Fusion and CO2 DSA: A New Imaging Combination for Patients With Renal Insufficiency
Conclusion: The combination of 3D image fusion of a preoperative CT with live fluoroscopy and CO2 DSA verification is feasible and sufficient for guidance of abdominal EVAR. This method minimizes the use of iodinated contrast media, protecting residual function in the setting of preexisting renal insufficiency. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)
