Aortocaval fistula is primarily arisen from necrotic aortic tissue with disrupted connective tissue and adherent to adjacent venous structures mostly in abdominal aortic aneurysms. The endoleak which appeared after endovascular aneurysm repairs can also cause this presentation. Thrill is possible to be felt in abdominal examination in aortocaval fistulas, and skin changes suggestive of venous hypertension usually occur in the body. Aortocaval fistula can cause high output cardiac failure, require an immediate intervention and endovascular methods are considered to be prior in its treatment. In this article, we present endovascular treatment of aortocaval fistula secondary to Type 3 endoleak.
Critical leg ischemia, which threatens lower extremity and life, is an important form of lower extremity peripheral artery disease. Below-knee peripheral artery disease is an important part of critical leg ischemia. The most important treatment of below-knee peripheral artery disease is endovascular treatment. Knowing the endovascular treatment techniques is very important in increasing the success of the procedure. For this reason, we have presented this mini review called tips and tricks in below-knee peripheral artery disease interventios.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
