Anaphylactic Reaction During Implantation of the Ovation Stent-Graft System in a Patient With Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Conclusion: A rupture of the Ovation main body’s polymer-filled rings may lead to extremely severe anaphylactic reaction. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Immediate Change in Suprarenal Neck Angulation After Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: Comparison of the Ovation Stent-Graft Inflatable Sealing Rings to a Conventional Self-Expanding Stent-Graft
Conclusion: The Ovation stent-graft induces greater postoperative reduction in the AAA neck angulation compared to an endograft with stent-supported graft seal. Expanded research to infrarenal angle as well to greater angles and correlation to clinical events is justified. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Implantation of an Iliac Branch Device After EVAR via a Femoral Approach Using a Steerable Sheath
Conclusion: The contralateral femoral approach for iliac branch graft implantation is feasible in cases with an extant bifurcated stent-graft using a steerable sheath and a through-and-through wire. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Retrograde Target Vessel Catheterization as a Salvage Procedure in Fenestrated/Branched Endografting
Conclusion: Retrograde target vessel access in F/B-EVAR is a feasible bailout procedure when antegrade cannulation fails. Secondary technical success is high, but the procedure is associated with higher perioperative morbidity and longer hospital stay. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Impact of Renal Artery Angulation on Procedure Efficiency During Fenestrated and Snorkel/Chimney Endovascular Aneurysm Repair
Conclusion: Procedural efficiency may be optimized by considering renal artery angulation as one of several objective variables used in the selection of an appropriate endovascular strategy. The fenestrated approach is more efficient with less downward angulation to the renal arteries, while the snorkel/chimney strategy is facilitated by more downward renal artery angulation.

Comparison of Blood Flow in Branched and Fenestrated Stent-Grafts for Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Conclusion: The blood flow rate in renal arteries depends on the configuration of the stent-graft, with an FSG giving maximum renal flow and a retrograde BSG resulting in minimum renal flow. Nevertheless, the difference was small, up to 0.09 L/min. Displacement forces exerted on stent-grafts are very sensitive to lateral neck angle but not on the configuration of the stent-graft.

A 12-Year Experience With Chimney and Periscope Grafts for Treatment of Type I Endoleaks
Conclusion: The CPG technique is a safe and effective tool for treatment of type I endoleak after previous EVAR. The CPG technique is feasible even in nonelective patients, with excellent outcomes in terms of patency. Close imaging follow-up is warranted to rule out recurrent or de novo endoleaks.

Foot Embolization During Limb Salvage Procedures in Critical Limb Ischemia Patients Successfully Managed With Mechanical Thromboaspiration: A Technical Note
Conclusion: While further evaluation in a larger cohort of patients is needed, this initial experience using the Penumbra system in the peripheral vasculature suggests that this is a rapid, effective approach to address intraprocedural foot embolization and avoid possible grave clinical sequelae.
