  2. Endovascular aneurysm repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endovascular_aneurysm_repair

    The abdominal aneurysm extends down to the common iliac arteries in about 25%-30% of patients. In such cases, the iliac limbs can be extended into the external iliac artery to bypass a common iliac aneurysm. Alternatively, a specially designed endograft, (an iliac branch device) can be used to preserve flow to the internal iliac arteries.

  4. Open aortic surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_aortic_surgery

    Open aortic surgery (OAS), also known as open aortic repair (OAR), describes a technique whereby an abdominal, thoracic or retroperitoneal surgical incision is used to visualize and control the aorta for purposes of treatment, usually by the replacement of the affected segment with a prosthetic graft. OAS is used to treat aneurysms of the ...

  5. Vascular bypass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_bypass

    Immediately following coronary artery or neurosurgical vascular bypass surgery, patients recover in an intensive care unit or coronary care unit for one to two days. Provided that recovery is normal and without complications, they can move to a less intensively monitored unit such as a step-down unit or a ward bed. Depending on the extent of ...

    Specialty. Vascular surgery. May–Thurner syndrome (MTS), also known as the iliac vein compression syndrome, [1] is a condition in which compression of the common venous outflow tract of the left lower extremity may cause discomfort, swelling, pain or iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis.

  7. Endovascular coiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endovascular_coiling

    Endovascular coiling is an endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms and bleeding throughout the body. The procedure reduces blood circulation to the aneurysm through the use of microsurgical detachable platinum wires, with the clinician inserting one or more into the aneurysm until it is determined that blood flow is no longer occurring within the space.

  8. Aortic dissection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_dissection

    The vast majority of aortic dissections originate with an intimal tear in either the ascending aorta (65%), the aortic arch (10%), or just distal to the ligamentum arteriosum in the descending thoracic aorta (20%). [clarification needed] As blood flows down the false lumen, it may cause secondary tears in the intima.

  9. Ischemic colitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemic_colitis

    In addition, ischemic colitis is a well-recognized complication of abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, when the origin of the inferior mesenteric artery is covered by the aortic graft. [13] [14] In a 1991 review concerning 2137 patients the accidental inferior mesenteric artery ligation was the most common cause (74%) of ischemic colitis. [15]
