[Management of a ureteroarterial fistula]

30 Jul 2009 Ureteroarterial fistulae are rare after vascular surgery with only 16 cases being reported in the literature. We report a 65-year-old woman who presented with massive gross hematuria following endostenting of an iliac aneurysm. Cystoscopy ... Read more...

Perianeurysmal abscess and meningitis after endovascular coil placement for an intracranial aneurysm.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Only five cases of infection of the central nervous system attributable to intracranial permanent devices (e.g., coils, cyanacrylate) have been described. METHODS: Case report and review of the pertinent English-language literature. CASE ... Read more...

Infolding and collapse of thoracic endoprostheses: manifestations and treatment options.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVES: We sought to review the clinical sequelae and imaging manifestations of thoracic aortic endograft collapses and infoldings and to evaluate minimally invasive methods of repairing such collapses. METHODS: Two hundred twenty-one Gore ... Read more...
