RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: We investigated the efficacy of iliofemoral venous stenting in women of childbearing age treated for post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and assessed the influence of pregnancy on stent occlusion. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on women of childbearing age who underwent endovascular stenting for PTS due to chronic iliocava occlusion across 15 centers from 2009 to 2020. The study assessed pregnancy rates, primary patency rates, secondary patency rates, and clinical efficacy using the Villalta score for PTS severity and the Chronic Venous Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire - version 20 (CIVIQ-20), 6-12 months after the procedure. The impact of pregnancy on stent occlusion was analyzed using classical and multi-state survival analyses. Prophylactic low-molecular-weight heparin or fondaparinux was administered to patients during pregnancy until 6 weeks post-partum. RESULTS: In total, 211 women with PTS underwent endovascular stenting, with a median age of 31 years (range: 16-42). Following recanalization, significant improvements were observed in the Villalta score (p < 0.0001) and the CIVIQ-20 score (p < 0.0001). Thirty-seven (17.6%) women became pregnant and 49 (23.2%) experienced stent occlusions. The 1-year and 5-year occlusion-free survival probabilities were 80.6% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 75.1-86.4%) and 66.6% (95% CI: 57.4-77.4%), respectively. There was no significant association between pregnancy and stent occlusion-free survival (hazard ratio = 1.00 [95% CI: 0.11-8.92], p = 0.9930). CONCLUSION: Iliofemoral venous stenting in women of childbearing age was an effective treatment for post-thrombotic syndrome, and it did not increase the risk for stent occlusion during pregnancy when accompanied by appropriate anticoagulation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: This study demonstrates that pregnancy following iliofemoral venous stenting for post-thrombotic syndrome does not elevate the risk for stent occlusion. KEY POINTS: ⢠The severity of post-thrombotic syndrome and the quality of life, as measured using the Villalta score and Chronic Venous Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire - version 20, respectively, showed significant improvements 6-12 months after iliofemoral venous stenting. ⢠The occurrence of pregnancy after recanalization in women of childbearing age did not lead to a significant increase in the risk for stent occlusion.

PURPOSE: To determine the value of cardiac MRI for the monitoring and the prognosis of patients with acute myocarditis. Cardiac MRI plays an increasingly important role in the diagnosis of acute myocarditis. However, it is less established as a prognostic tool, which requires specific postprocessing of images. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a prospective pilot study, we assessed the prognostic value of the evolution in a simplified visual quantitative score (SQS) of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) between initial hospitalization and 3 months later. The prognostic value was assessed at 1 year using a combination of death, heart transplant, and confirmed recurrence as main outcome. RESULTS: Twenty-eight patients were included in this study. A significant correlation was found between LGE measured by SQS and planimetry (r = 0.95, P < 0.001). Intraobserver and interobserver reproducibilities were good for SQS (ICC = 0.95 [95% CI: 0.86 to 0.98], and 0.94 [95% CI: 0.84 to 0.98], respectively). At initial hospitalization, patient characteristics between the two groups were similar. Patients with stable or increased SQS suffered more frequently from clinical outcome events than patients with a decrease in SQS (P = 0.02). CONCLUSION: Monitoring of the evolution of LGE using a simple visual score is of interest to identify patients at risk of pejorative prognosis after acute myocarditis.

PURPOSE: To report the effectiveness of pharmacomechanical catheter-directed thrombolysis (PCDT) in the management of acute iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (DVT) via the jugular vein using a slow rotation and large-tip device (SRD) in a large cohort of patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: From 2011 to 2021, 277 patients (mean age 45 years, 59.2% women) were treated in 6 centres with PCDT for ilio-fémoral DVT. PCDT was performed via the jugular vein and consisted of one session of fragmentation-fibrinolysis, aspiration and, if needed, angioplasty with stenting. The aim of PCDT was to achieve complete clearance of the venous thrombosis and to restore iliofemoral patency. Residual thrombotic load was assessed by angiography, venous patency by duplex ultrasound and clinical effectiveness by the rate of post-thrombotic syndrome (Villalta score > 4). RESULTS: All patients were treated via the jugular vein using an SRD, and all but one were treated with fibrinolysis. Angioplasty with stenting was performed in 84.1% of patients. After the procedure, the residual thrombotic load at the ilio-fémoral region was < 10% in 96.1% of patients. The rate of major complications was 1.8% (n = 5), the rate of minor complications was 4% (n = 11), and one patient died from pulmonary embolism (0.4%) At a median follow-up of 24 months, primary and secondary iliofemoral patency was 89.6% and 95.8%, respectively. The rate of PTS was 13.8% at 12 months. CONCLUSION: PCDT via the jugular vein using an SRD is an efficient treatment for acute iliofemoral DVT and results in high long-term venous patency and low PTS rates. Level of evidence Level 4, Case series.

Excellent outcomes of angioplasty/stenting for the post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) have been reported, notably regarding objective criteria in the vast French SFICV cohort. Differences may exist between patient-reported and objective outcomes. We investigated this possibility by using validated scales because significative correlations are discordant in the literature between patency and patient-reported characteristics. Patient-reported outcomes seem to be a more consistent tool than radiologic patency for the diagnosis and follow-up of patients displaying PTS. We retrospectively reviewed the Villalta scale and 20-item ChronIc Venous dIsease quality-of-life Questionnaire (CIVIQ-20) scores recorded after endovascular stenting for PTS at 14 centres in France in 2009-2019. We also collected patency rates, pre-operative post-thrombotic lesion severity, and the extent of stenting. We performed multivariate analyses to identify factors independently associated with improvements in each of the two scores. The 539 patients, including 324 women and 235 men, had a mean age of 44.7 years. The mean Villalta scale improvement was 7.0 ± 4.7 (p < 0.0001) and correlated with the thrombosis sequelae grade and time from thrombosis to stenting. The CIVIQ-20 score was available for 298 patients; the mean improvement was 19.2 ± 14.8 (p < 0.0001) and correlated with bilateral stenting, single thrombosis recurrence, and single stented segment. The objective gains demonstrated in earlier work after stenting were accompanied by patient-reported improvements. The factors associated with these improvements differed between the Villalta scale and the CIVIQ-20 score. These results proved that clinical follow-up with validated scores is gainful in patients treated for PTS thanks to a mini-invasive procedure.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: Surgical plication of inferior vena cava was commonly used until the 1980s for prevention of pulmonary embolism, associated with high incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). This study aims to assess the feasibility and safety of endovascular iliocaval recanalization after intentionally surgically interrupted inferior vena cava by external plicating clip. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Endovascular iliocaval recanalizations in relation to previous vena cava clip plication were extracted from the retrospective French multicentre database and further analysed. All procedure data were retrospectively reviewed, including technical aspects, technical success and outcomes (clinical response and ultrasound stent patency). RESULTS: From 2016 to 2018, 8 patients from 4 different centres underwent endovascular iliocaval recanalization for PTS in relation to previous caval interruption by clip. Recanalization of iliocaval occlusion through the clip and stent reconstruction were successfully performed for all of them without complications. After angioplasty, plicating clip was opened in U shape (n = 3) or ovalized without significant residual stenosis (n = 5). Patency of the inferior vena cava was maintained for all patients with a mean follow-up of almost two years after stenting. All patients clinically improved. CONCLUSIONS: In this small cases series, endovascular recanalization and stenting of surgical vena cava clip plication seem technically feasible without morbidity. Restoration of blood flow through the iliocaval occlusion, using non-invasive endovascular technique, even as late treatment may be durable, with improvement of patient's venous symptoms. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4, Short Communication.

PURPOSE: Musculoskeletal (MSK) embolization is emerging in tendinopathy treatment. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of MSK embolization with microspheres in the treatment of chronic shoulder pain. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This retrospective monocentric study included patients with chronic shoulder pain resistant to 6 months or more of conventional therapies who were treated with MSK embolization between 2017 and 2021. Embolization was performed using calibrated 100-250 µm microspheres. Clinical success was defined as pain reduction, i.e., a decrease in the visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score of ≥50% at 3 months after MSK embolization as compared to baseline. Adverse events were collected. RESULTS: Fifteen patients (11 women, 4 men) were included, with a median age of 50.3 years (IQR: 46.7-54.5). The median duration of symptoms was 26.6 months (20.6-39.8). The median VAS pain scores were 7.0 (7.0-8.0) at baseline, 6.0 (3.5-7.0) at 1 month, 5.0 (4.5-6.5) and 5.0 (3.0-7.4) at 3 months and 6 months (p = 0.002). Three patients (20%) reported clinical success at 3 months. Three patients experienced minor complications after embolization (paresthesia, n = 2; transient osteo-medullary edema, n = 1) and two patients had moderate complications (transient skin ischemia). CONCLUSION: MSK embolization with microspheres for treatment of refractory chronic shoulder pain showed moderate results in terms of clinical success and safety.

A 60-year-old woman with a family history of aortic dissection in her mother was investigated for dysphagia. Her scan showed a right aortic arch with a large Kommerell's diverticulum causing esophageal compression. Her left vertebral artery, which originated abnormally low in the thorax, was embolized preoperatively to limit operative difficulties. Two weeks later, a right thoracotomy allowed the resection of the aneurysm with an associated left carotid-axillary bypass. Partial cardiopulmonary bypass in moderate hypothermia with beating-heart perfusion of the brain was conducted. Five-year follow-up showed a favorable outcome. A multidisciplinary approach is a safe and simple strategy in complex cases.

Importance: Splenic arterial embolization (SAE) improves the rate of spleen rescue, yet the advantage of prophylactic SAE (pSAE) compared with surveillance and then embolization only if necessary (SURV) for patients at high risk of spleen rupture remains controversial. Objective: To determine whether the 1-month spleen salvage rate is better after pSAE or SURV. Design, Setting, and Participants: In this randomized clinical trial conducted between February 6, 2014, and September 1, 2017, at 16 institutions in France, 133 patients with splenic trauma at high risk of rupture were randomized to undergo pSAE or SURV. All analyses were performed on a per-protocol basis, as well as an intention-to-treat analysis for specific events. Interventions: Prophylactic SAE, preferably using an arterial approach via the femoral artery, or SURV. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary end point was an intact spleen or a spleen with at least 50% vascularized parenchyma detected on an arterial computed tomography scan at 1 month after trauma, assessed by senior radiologists masked to the treatment group. Secondary end points included splenectomy and pseudoaneurysm, secondary SAE after inclusion, complications, length of hospital stay, quality-of-life score, and length of time off work or studies during the 6-month follow-up. Results: A total of 140 patients were randomized, and 133 (105 men [78.9%]; median age, 30 years [interquartile range, 23-47 years]) were retained in the study. For the primary end point, data from 117 patients (57 who underwent pSAE and 60 who underwent SURV) could be analyzed. The number of patients with at least a 50% viable spleen detected on a computed tomography scan at month 1 was not significantly different between the pSAE and SURV groups (56 of 57 [98.2%] vs 56 of 60 [93.3%]; difference, 4.9%; 95% CI, -2.4% to 12.1%; P = .37). By the day 5 visit, there were significantly fewer splenic pseudoaneurysms among patients in the pSAE group than in the SURV group (1 of 65 [1.5%] vs 8 of 65 [12.3%]; difference, -10.8%; 95% CI, -19.3% to -2.1%; P = .03), significantly fewer secondary embolizations among patients in the pSAE group than in the SURV group (1 of 65 [1.5%] vs 19 of 65 [29.2%]; difference, -27.7%; 95% CI, -41.0% to -15.9%; P < .001), and no difference in the overall complication rate between the pSAE and SURV groups (19 of 65 [29.2%] vs 27 of 65 [41.5%]; difference, -12.3%; 95% CI, -28.3% to 4.4%; P = .14). Between the day 5 and month 1 visits, the overall complication rate was not significantly different between the pSAE and SURV groups (11 of 59 [18.6%] vs 12 of 63 [19.0%]; difference, -0.4%; 95% CI, -14.4% to 13.6%; P = .96). The median length of hospitalization was significantly shorter for patients in the pSAE group than for those in the SURV group (9 days [interquartile range, 6-14 days] vs 13 days [interquartile range, 9-17 days]; P = .002). Conclusions and Relevance: Among patients with splenic trauma at high risk of rupture, the 1-month spleen salvage rate was not statistically different between patients undergoing pSAE compared with those receiving SURV. In view of the high proportion of patients in the SURV group needing SAE, both strategies appear defendable. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02021396.

PURPOSE: To report initial experience with endovascular stent-grafting in aortic intramural hematoma (IMH). MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 2000 to 2006, 15 patients (mean age, 67 years; range, 54-83 y) underwent endovascular treatment of aortic IMH. Thirteen patients were admitted for acute aortic syndrome and two for traumatic aortic injury. An endovascular procedure was performed as primary treatment for four patients (type A IMH, n = 3; type B IMH, n = 1) and as a second-line therapy in 11 patients because of unfavorable evolution (type A IMH, n = 1; type B IMH, n = 10). All stent-grafts were placed in the descending aorta, even for type A IMH. The mean follow-up was 21 months (range, 6-72 months). RESULTS: The primary success rate was 93%, with complete exclusion of the lesion (n = 14). Exclusion was partial for one patient with a type I endoleak (7%). The 30-day mortality rate was zero. IMH evolution was favorable in all cases, with decreased aortic wall thickening (n = 8) or complete regression (n = 7). Complications associated with endovascular repair were mainly related to aneurysm formation (20%). The late death rate was 7%. CONCLUSIONS: Endovascular stent-graft treatment can be performed in the management of complicated IMH, even in some cases of type A IMH, when an intimal lesion is located in the isthmus or descending aorta with contraindications to surgery. This procedure offers low morbidity and mortality rates, representing a feasible therapeutic option especially for elderly patients with comorbidities. Further studies are necessary to confirm these preliminary results.

OBJECTIVES: To propose a scale of severity for post-thrombotic venous lesions (PTVLs) after ilio-femoral deep venous thrombosis and to compare the grade with the results of endovascular treatment of ilio-femoral PTVLs. METHODS: In this retrospective monocentric observational study, we included 95 patients treated for ilio-femoral PTVLs. We proposed a four-grade scale evaluating the severity of PTVLS caudal to the common femoral vein based on CT phlebography and per-operative phlebography. For most patients, venous patency was assessed with color duplex ultrasonography and the clinical efficacy of the intervention using the Villalta and CIVIQ scores. RESULTS: Recanalization was successful in 100% of patients with a morbidity rate of 4%. After a mean follow-up of 21 months, the overall primary patency was 75%, the assisted primary patency 82%, and the secondary patency 93%. Secondary patency was 100% for grade 0-1, 90% for grade 2, and 63% for grade 3 (p < 0.002). There was no correlation between the extension of stenting caudally of the common femoral vein and venous patency. The mean improvements in the Villalta and CIVIQ-20 scores were, respectively, 4.6 (p < 0.0001) and 18 (p < 0.0001); scores were not correlated with the grade of PTVLs in the thigh. CONCLUSION: Venous patency after endovascular treatment of ilio-femoral PTVLs was strongly linked to the severity of PTVLs caudal to the common femoral vein but not to the extent of stenting.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of percutaneous computed tomography (CT)-guided coaxial core needle biopsy in patients with nonresolving pulmonary focal air space consolidations and negative fiberoptic bronchoscopy results. METHODS: From 1997 to 2005, 23 patients (11 woman, 12 men; age range, 45 to 81 y; mean age, 66 y) presenting with nonresolving pneumonia persisting more than 8 weeks (mean, 22 wk; range, 8 to 40 wk) with negative fiberscopic results, underwent coaxial percutaneous biopsy using an automated core needle (18-gauge) under CT guidance. Histologic and bacteriologic evaluations were obtained. The final diagnosis was confirmed by surgical pathology, culture results, or clinical follow-up. RESULTS: Specimens adequate for histopathologic evaluations were obtained in 20 (87%) cases. Final diagnoses were lung cancer (n=15) and benign diseases (infectious pneumonia, 3; lipoid pneumonia, 1; Erdheim Chester disease: 1; and nonspecific chronic pneumonia, 3). Diagnostic yield of core needle biopsy was 78% (18 of 23). The sensitivity and specificity for malignancy were 87% and 100%, respectively. Immediate pneumothorax was present in 11 patients of cases, but only 2 patients required pleural drainage. DISCUSSION: CT-guided lung biopsy using a core needle biopsy provides a high degree of diagnostic accuracy and allows specific characterization of nonresolving pulmonary focal air space consolidation.

BACKGROUND: Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is increasingly used as a noninvasive clamp of the aorta after diverse posttraumatic injuries. Balloon inflation in zone 3 (from the lower renal artery to the aortic bifurcation) can be performed to stop ongoing bleeding after severe pelvic trauma with life-threatening hemorrhage. The aim of our study was to describe our 20-year experience with REBOA in terms of efficacy and safety in patients with a suspicion of severe pelvic trauma and extreme hemorrhagic shock. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study from 1996 to 2017 in a French Level I trauma center. All consecutive patients who underwent a REBOA procedure were included. REBOA indication relied on (1) extreme hemodynamic instability (systolic arterial blood pressure [SBP] < 60 mm Hg on admission, SBP < 90 mm Hg despite initial resuscitation in the trauma bay or posttraumatic cardiac arrest) and (2) positive pelvic X-ray. Efficacy endpoints were vital signs and coagulation parameters before and after balloon inflation. Safety endpoints were REBOA-related complications: vascular events, acute renal failure, and rhabdomyolysis. RESULTS: Within the study period, 32 patients underwent a REBOA procedure. Only two patients had technical failure and balloon was not inflated in one patient. Nineteen patients did not survive at day 28. The REBOA significantly improved SBP from 60 (35-73) mm Hg to 115 (91-128) mm Hg (p < 0.001). We also reported a high rate of vascular complications (19%, n = 5 patients) but no amputation. Renal replacement therapy was initiated in 11 patients, and 15 patients had severe rhabdomyolysis. CONCLUSION: The REBOA is safe and effective in improving hemodynamics after severe pelvic trauma and life-threatening hemorrhage. Our study supports the use of REBOA as a bridge to definitive hemostatic treatment after severe pelvic trauma. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, level IV.

Objectives: Endovascular repair of traumatic injury of the aortic isthmus is a safe technique that has shown good short-term results. However, the future of these stent grafts remains unexamined, especially in relation to young patients. Methods: Between January 2000 and December 2014, 60 patients were treated with endovascular aortic stent graft for injury of the aortic isthmus. Follow-up was done by computed tomography scans with intravenous contrast or magnetic resonance imaging associated with a chest X-ray in order to control the stent graft. Results: In total, 48 men (80%) were included; the average age was 43 ± 17 years [17; 79]. The median time between the accident and endovascular repair was 6 h. Endovascular repair was successful in all cases with no cerebrovascular or paraplegia after treatment. Seventeen patients (27.3%) received a total coverage of the left subclavian artery; one of them received a subclavian carotid bypass. Mean follow-up was 5 years with a maximum of 14 years. There was no repeat surgery related to the aorta during follow-up. No stent graft failure, neurological or ischaemic event related to the stent graft was noted. One patient had a type 1 endoleak without any reintervention. The survival rate was 86.5% in 1 year, 81.6% in 5 years and 75.3% in 10 years. Conclusions: Treatment of injuries of the aortic isthmus with stent graft seems to be a safe long-term technique; we did not notice any event related to the stent graft during the follow-up.

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) provides additional information with ultrasound in the transcatheter heart valve (THV) size selection. However, the influence of these incremental data on outcomes has not been evaluated in a randomized study. A single-center prospective, randomized, and open study was performed. Patients referred for transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation with a balloon-expandable endoprothesis were included. THV size selection was performed using either transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography data (control group) or ultrasound and CT results (CT group). The primary composite end point included the occurrence of stroke, major vascular complications, and moderate or severe paravalvular aortic regurgitation (PAR) at 1 year. Fifty patients (n = 25 in the control and CT groups) were enrolled. The primary composite end point occurred in 40% and 8% of patients from the control and CT groups, respectively (p = 0.008). The Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a pejorative association with not performing the CT (p = 0.007). A decrease in the occurrence of PAR was observed in the CT group compared with the control group (PAR 28% vs 4%, p = 0.04; major vascular complications 12% vs 4%, p = 0.6; all-cause death 16% vs. 4%, p = 0.34; no stroke). In conclusion, the use of cardiac CT in addition to ultrasound data in THV size selection reduced the long-term occurrence of cardiovascular events.

We report the first case of endovascular covered stent implantation for the treatment of a large pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm (PAPA) following a right thoracic gunshot wound. After resuscitation and hemodynamic stabilization, a CT angiography was performed to analyze the neck size of the PAPA and its position relative to the branches of the parent artery. Covered stent implantation with additional coil embolization was successfully performed. At the 4-year follow-up, the stents remained patent and there was neither pseudoaneurysm recurrence nor treatment-related complication.

INTRODUCTION: Mesenteric bleeding is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of blunt abdominal trauma. It can induce active hemorrhage and a compressive hematoma leading to bowel ischemia. Emergency laparotomy remains the gold standard treatment. We aimed to study the effectiveness and complications of embolization in patients with post-traumatic mesenteric bleeding. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The medical records of 7 consecutive patients with active mesenteric bleeding treated by embolization in a level-one trauma center from 2007 to 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients presented with active mesenteric bleeding on CT scans without major signs of intestinal ischemia. We focused on technical success, clinical success, and the complications of embolization. RESULTS: Six endovascular procedures were successful in controlling hemorrhage but 1 patient had surgery to stop associated arterial and venous bleeding. One patient suffered from bowel ischemia, a major complication of embolization, which was confirmed by surgery. No acute renal failure was noted after angiography. For 1 patient we performed combined management as the endovascular approach allowed an easier surgical exploration. CONCLUSION: In mesenteric trauma with active bleeding, embolization is a valuable alternative to surgery and should be considered, taking into account the risk of bowel ischemia.

After endovascular aortic repair (EVAR), the deterioration in long-term renal function is probably multifactorial. Preoperative renal failure is an independent risk factor. Postoperative renal dysfunction can be associated with inadvertent renal artery occlusion, renal artery complications as stenosis, plaque dislodgement, or dissection. Ischemic nephropathy can accelerate hypertension and circulatory congestion. We report a case of coverage of the renal arteries symptomatic with flash pulmonary edema and renal failure 15 months after EVAR, suggesting a delayed endograft migration. The patient had complete resolution of symptoms and renal function after renal artery stenting with placement between endograft and aneurysm to the left renal artery.
