Branched iliac stent grafts allow treatment of aortoeiliac aneurysms in patients with aneurysmal or short common iliac arteries whilst maintaining internal iliac arterial flow. We describe a modified insertion technique involving iliac branched graft insertion over pre-positioned thoracic aortic and through and through and through iliac arterial guidewires. Our technique has the potential to reduce procedural and screening time and reduce disposable costs. doi:10.1016/j.ejvs.2008.08.009 DOI of original article:10.1016/j.ejvsextra.2008.08.006 Available online 16 October 2008
Continued Flow in the Internal Carotid Artery Post Occlusion Due to an Aberrant Distal Branch F.M.E. Jones*, M.L. Wall, M.H. Simms Department of Vascular Surgery, University Hospital Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, Birmingham, UK We present the case of a patient who exhibited continued flow in the distal internal carotid artery (ICA) despite complete occlusion at the carotid bifurcation. Patency was maintained by the presence of an aberrant branch distal to the occlusion.

Endovascular Covered Stent for Inferior Epigastric Artery Rupture after EVAR for Standford B Aortic Dissection M. Guo, X. Feng, Q. Lu, Z. Jing* Department of Vascular Surgery, Changhai Hospital, Second Military Medical University, Institute of Vascular Surgery of Chinese People’s Liberation Army, Clinic Center of Vascular Diseases of Shanghai City, National Key Department of Vascular Surgery of P.R. China, 168 Changhai Road, Shanghai 200433, P.R. China Spontaneous epigastric artery rupture is a rare event, difficult to diagnose and may cause life-threatening shock. We report a case of an inferior epigastric artery rupture at its origin after treatment of Stanford B aortic dissection by endovascular exclusion. The cause of rupture was unknown, but it did not appear to be related to the previous operation. The ruptured artery was identified by arteriography and successfully treated with a membrane-covered stent. The patient was asymptomatic at 1 year of follow-up. Endovascular repair is an excellent treatment strategy for this kind of catastrophic event. doi:10.1016/j.ejvs.2008.09.011 DOI of original article:10.1016/j.ejvsextra.2008.09.003
