Late Retrograde Migration of a Left Subclavian Artery Chimney Stent-Graft Into the Innominate Artery
Conclusion: Migration of the proximal end of an overly long chimney graft that moved freely in the aortic arch exposed the patient to a high risk of stroke and death. Because of the high-risk situation, open repair under circulatory arrest was elected to remove the proximal end of the chimney graft, with no major complications.

Maximizing Lumen Gain With Directional Atherectomy
Conclusion: With the LPBI technique, directional atherectomy can routinely achieve <10% residual stenosis, as illustrated in this case, thereby broadly supporting a no-stent approach to lower extremity endovascular revascularization. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Drug-Eluting Stent vs Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty for Treatment of Femoropopliteal In-Stent Restenosis: Results From a Retrospective 1-Year Multicenter Study
Conclusion: DES implantation may be more effective than PTA in the management of femoropopliteal ISR with occlusion, but equally effective to PTA in nonocclusive ISR lesions. These results require confirmation in prospective randomized studies. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Meta-analysis of Left Subclavian Artery Coverage With and Without Revascularization in Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair
Conclusion: LSA revascularization was not found to significantly reduce neurologic complications or mortality in patients undergoing TEVAR with coverage of the LSA origin. Randomized clinical trials are required to elucidate the role of routine or selective LSA revascularization in these cases. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Multibranched Stent-Grafts for the Treatment of Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Conclusion: Use of multibranched stent-grafts in the treatment of TAAAs and PRAAs appears to be feasible and safe based on satisfactory early outcomes in the limited literature available to date. Long-term surveillance and further studies are essential to determine the durability of this technique. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Impact of Oversizing on the Risk of Retrograde Dissection After TEVAR for Acute and Chronic Type B Dissection
Conclusion: The early and midterm outcomes of this study demonstrate that ≤5% oversizing may be a suitable option for thoracic endografts used to treat type B dissection. The smaller rate of oversizing can lower the incidence of RTAD without increasing stent migration or type I endoleak rates. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Impact of the Repositionable C3 Excluder System on the Endovascular Treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms With Unfavorable Neck Anatomy
Conclusion: Both Excluder stent-grafts provide good midterm clinical outcomes after EVAR in patients with unfavorable neck anatomy. Investigation of a larger cohort will be needed to identify if the C3 Excluder device offers any improvement over the traditional Excluder in terms of freedom from endoleaks.

Comparison of Radiation Exposure Associated With Intraoperative Cone-Beam Computed Tomography and Follow-up Multidetector Computed Tomography Angiography for Evaluating Endovascular Aneurysm Repairs
Conclusion: ceCBCT offers the chance for immediate intraoperative revisions of endograft-related problems. Requiring only a single-phase acquisition, ceCBCT is associated with a considerable reduction in ED (50%–75%) compared to standard 3-phase MDCT angiography after EVAR. On the other hand, MDCT has a larger field of view and is associated with less radiation exposure for a single phase (reduction of 20%–60%) if only the stented region is covered; however, MDCT angiography also uses larger amounts of contrast.
