Emergency and Elective Implantation of Covered Stent Systems in Iatrogenic Arterial Injuries

Abstract

Emergency and elective implantation of covered stents may be used for minimally invasive and effective management of iatrogenic arterial injury.

Effectiveness and outcome of endovascular therapy for late-onset postpancreatectomy hemorrhage using covered stents and embolization

“…1,7,9 Rebleeding due to covered stent dislodgment has been observed in individual cases. 8 Selection of proper stent size, both diameter and length, can be challenging. Because the diameter of the affected vessel is often decreased as a result of circulatory instability and vascular spasms, it is important to avoid undersizing to provide appropriate sealing and to avoid endoleaks and stent migration.…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7] Selective embolization and covered stents have been widely used for arterial injury repair, and several published studies give proof of effectiveness. 2,5,[8][9][10][11][12] To our knowledge, to date, there are only few case series with low numbers of patients and several individual case reports presenting the use of covered stents for PPH. Data presented lack in comparing stent graft implantation with selective embolization, especially in the setting of clinical fate.…”

Bleeding complications after pancreatic surgery: interventional radiology management

“…Moreover, stent graft implantation has been associated with a lower use of fluoroscopy during the procedure (58). The most common complications of stent graft implantations are endoleaks and stent thromboses (58,79), but stent dislocation and consequent rebleedings have also been described (80). Another potential severe complication is infection of the stent when contact with gastrointestinal content or infected necrotic tissue occurs (58).…”

Covered stents for endovascular repair of iatrogenic injuries of iliac and femoral arteries

“…However, systematic evaluations of CS in this setting still represent a scientific gap [9][10][11][12][13]. Thus, the present study investigates procedural and clinical outcomes of patients treated with PTA with CS implantation for iatrogenic injuries of peripheral arteries in a consecutive cohort of patients undergoing percutaneous procedures.…”
