Transaortic endarterectomy (TE) is an effective and durable method of restoring patency in the aorta afflicted with atherosclerotic disease, which most commonly affects the infrarenal aorta and common iliac artery. When the suprarenal aorta is involved, the disease is usually confined to the orifices of the visceral vessels without obstruction of the aortic lumen. In rare cases, dense, calcified, exophytic, and amorphous lesions causing severe luminal obstruction, termed coral reef atherosclerosis (CRA) of the suprarenal aorta, may occur. Not all CRAs, however, are amenable to TE due to aortic wall plaque erosion and adventitial thinning. Thoracic aorta-based bypass grafting of the visceral vessels is another option if the descending thoracic aorta is clampable. However, like TE, this option may not be viable for all patients due to compromised pulmonary function or comorbidities. We present a novel alternative to TE using a Sonopet ultrasonic aspiration device in patients with CRA.

Most thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) are asymptomatic and often diagnosed at the time of rupture. TAAs involving the proximal arch require adequate coverage with thoracic endovascular aortic repair, which is timely and challenging in emergent ruptures. In situ laser fenestration is a novel method of arch revascularization. We present an 85-year-old man with zone 2 aortic pathology, a ruptured TAA, and a history of a left internal mammary to left anterior descending artery bypass. This case report demonstrates feasibility of a zone 1 repair for a ruptured TAA involving left carotid and left subclavian fenestration in a patient requiring unique attention to left internal mammary artery patency.

The goals of treating type B aortic dissections include maintaining or restoring blood supply in cases of organ malperfusion, preventing aortic rupture, promoting aortic remodeling, and preventing disease progression and aneurysmal degeneration. The European Society of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery guidelines recommend endovascular treatment for patients with complicated acute/subacute type B aortic dissections and those failing medical management. Several techniques have been used over the past few decades. Recently, the STABILISE (Stent-Assisted Balloon-Induced Intimal Disruption and Relamination in Aortic Dissection Repair) technique has been proposed to treat type B aortic dissections. This method involves proximal thoracic aortic stent grafting with the deployment of distal bare stents, followed by ballooning to intentionally rupture the intimal lamella, allowing the true lumen to fully expand and resulting in a “single-channeled aorta.” Since its adoption, several authors have reported satisfactory results, demonstrating that the technique is safe and effective, and it could be considered a serious attempt to promote positive aortic remodeling over time. This paper provides an analysis of presurgical preparation and planning, detailed procedural description during surgery, necessary support equipment, and strategies for perioperative management.

This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of a novel primary closure technique in carotid endarterectomy compared with traditional methods. Conducted over 8 years at three university hospitals, this study included 184 patients. Early complications (8.7%) included hematoma, transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction, stroke, and death. Late complications involved myocardial infarction, death, transient ischemic attack, stroke, and reintervention. The 1-year follow-up showed a significant (>70%) restenosis rate of only 1.9%. The novel technique in carotid endarterectomy seems to be a safe and effective alternative to patch angioplasty, offering advantages for selected patients. Further studies are required.

This case report describes the endovascular management of a hybrid arch dissection stent inadvertently deployed in the false lumen during acute type A aortic dissection repair, resulting in renal and lower extremity malperfusion. Prompt identification and intervention are essential to minimize the morbidity and mortality associated with malperfusion. Various endovascular strategies exist to restore perfusion, and this case highlights a unique approach given the obliteration of the true lumen proximally and anatomy of the visceral ostia predominantly originating from the false lumen.

Degeneration of the thoracoabdominal aorta proximal to a prior fenestrated endovascular aortic repair represents a complex issue with limited options for repair. Previously, modified endografts or open conversion with endograft explant offered the only options for management. Here we describe use of the Gore Thoracoabdominal Multibranch Endoprosthesis for exclusion of an extent III thoracoabdominal aneurysm in the setting of degeneration proximal to a previously placed fenestrated device.

Type A dissection is infrequently reported after infrarenal endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). Here, we present a case of an EVAR with iliac branch endoprosthesis complicated by type A dissection requiring ascending arch repair. After hemiarch repair, the patient was noted to have residual type B dissection, malperfusion of the left renal artery, and compression of the EVAR with left external iliac limb occlusion. These were treated successfully with iliac thrombectomy and dissection stent placement.
