Extracranial carotid artery dissection after blunt trauma may manifest as arterial stenosis or occlusion or as dissecting aneurysm formation. Anticoagulation and/or antiplatelet therapy is the first-line treatment, but, because it is effective and less invasive than other procedures, endovascular treatment of carotid artery dissection has recently attracted interest. A small…
Lower limb ischemia may occur when a superficial femoral artery (SFA) is injured in blunt or penetrating trauma. Surgical repair of the injured artery can be challenging and time-consuming when there is an associated fracture. Two cases of traumatic SFA injury treated with endovascular stent grafting are described. Key Points…
Esophageal Crohn disease is a difficult disease both to diagnose and treat. The diagnosis is made in patients with other extraintestinal manifestations of Crohn disease in whom other esophageal pathology has been ruled out. This often requires integration of clinical, endoscopic, radiographic, and histologic findings. Despite its relative rarity, it…
Injury to the renal vasculature is an uncommon occurrence in the setting of blunt abdominal trauma. The authors report the case of a 2-year-old girl who developed occlusion from an intimal flap in a renal artery (grade IV renal injury) after blunt abdominal trauma that was treated with a stent…
We report five cases of renal artery in-stent restenosis treated with endovascular brachytherapy. This procedure has been previously used extensively for the treatment of coronary artery in-stent restenosis with successful results. Therefore, it follows logically that noncoronary in-stent restenoses would also be successfully treated in this manner. Though our experience…
