Abstract: Materials and methods: 47 patients witn type В aortiс dissections underwent endovascular treatment in our departmert n 20 cases - IVUS was used for irtraoperative anatomy and morphology verification. Complications developed n 16 patients, and true lumen was reconstructed by stent-graft implantation (to cover proximal fenestration) followed by balloon-expandable stents implantation at the level of visceral arteries under IVUS control at every stage. 87,5% of patents were man, mean ago 51 8—16,2 years.

Abstract: A multicentered study based on retrospective data covered 2012 patients and aimed at ascertaining the eficiency of various methods of treating patients with coronary restenosis after stenting. The average percent of complications after restenosis was about 20% during the period of study (1 1+4 months). The metaregression data analysis showed the positive correlation between the stage of residual stenosis of the stentet segment and the probability of complications. As the residual stenosis decreased at 1%, the frequency of complications diminished at 0,9%. Another factors under analysis did not show any evident influence, although we have registered a tendency towards better outcomes of the recurring operations as the diameter of the vessel increased. The recurring balloon angioplasty in cases of short restenosis and intracoronar radiation in cases of diffused restenotic lesions have proved to be the most effective operations. The indications for implanting the additional stents must be given very carefully, especially in cases of diabetes. References 1. Fischman D.L., Leon M.D., Baim D.S., et al.

Abstract: Current indications for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are limited for inoperable and high risk patients only. Meanwhile, TAVR may be successfully performed in young patients with low risk and with high technical and functional results according to short- and long-term follow-up. 54 patients underwent TAVR, 7 (12,9%) of them were younger than 65. Cause for endovascular procedure was the presence of oncological process in liver/autoimmune hepatitis/liver cirrhosis/severe bronchial asthma/atherosclerotic lesion of major vessels/severe diabetes mellitus. In 3 cases additional visualization method (intracardiac ultrasound examination) was necessary. All patients underwent implantation of CoreValve. Technical success was 100%. Function of valves was satisfactory. Light near-valve regurgitation was found in 6 cases, valve regurgitation class II was found in 1 case with decrease to class I after treatment. Intracardiac ultrasound examination is useful to attend successful results in this group of patients.

Abstract: Ventricular septal defect after myocardial infarction (post-MI VSD) is one of the most rare and lethal complication. We present a case report of patient with recurrent VSD, 7 months after coronary artery bypass graft with cardiosurgical correction of post-MI VSD. Due to the high risk of re-operation, it was decided to perform endovascular closure of VSD. Despite acceptable stability test, after delivery system disconnection - migration of occluder to left ventricular occurred. All efforts to retrieve device were not successful, due to strong fixation of the device in anterior leaflet chordal tendons of mitral valve (MV). The presence of 12 mm occluder didn't influence on existed MV insufficiency, so the decision to leave this device in place and to implant the bigger one to VSD was made. 14 mm occluder was successfully implanted, with immediate reduction of left-right shunt and normalization of pulmonary artery pressure. Follow-up period is 3 years - patient doesn't have any complaints. Ejection fraction 55%, mitral insufficiency 30% by volume, device is fully endothelialyzed. Endovascular VSD occlusion can be effectively used in case of post-surgery re-occurence. In cases of migration of endovascular devices, thorough functional analysis should be performed for choosing the best strategy of further actions. In this clinical case the decision to leave the device in LV didn't cause any negative outcomes for the patient. References 1. Koh A.S., Loh YJ., Lim YP., Le Tan J.

Abstract: Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) proved to be safe and effective alternative to surgical treatment of abdominal aortic aneurism (AAA). Type II endoleaks development is the most frequent complication after EVAR that increases the rate of reinterventions and it is need to be treated in the case of aneurysm sac growth for rupture prevention. We present long-term results of the first case in our hospital of endovascular type II endoleak treatment. One month after EVAR of big AAA in high-risk patient type II endoleak on computer tomography (CT) was seen. 16 month after patient complained on lumbar and abdominal pain, expansion of endoleak size was seen on CT To prevent aneurysm sac rupture we performed endoleak' embolization with coil and micro-particles with good result during follow up period more than 3 years. Total follow-up period is more than 5 years, all elements of endograft are stable, aneurysm cavity decreased in diameter on 23 mm. Endovascular techniques for AAA treatment and for the treatment of it's possible life-threating complications are effective and safe during long-term follow-up period. References 1.
