Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty vs. plain balloon dilation for the treatment of failing dialysis access: 6-month interim results from a prospective randomized controlled trial.
To report the 6-month results of a prospective randomized trial investigating angioplasty with paclitaxel-coated balloons (PCB) vs. plain balloon angioplasty (BA) for the treatment of failing native arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) or prosthetic arteriovenous grafts (AVG). ⋯ PCB angioplasty improves patency after angioplasty of venous stenoses of failing vascular access used for dialysis.

Multicenter Study
Valiant thoracic stent-graft deployed with the new captivia delivery system: procedural and 30-day results of the Valiant Captivia registry.
To evaluate procedural and 30-day outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) employing the Valiant Thoracic Stent Graft with the Captivia Delivery System. ⋯ In this analysis of procedural and 30-day results, the high technical success and clinical outcome rates showed that the Valiant Thoracic Stent Graft with the new Captivia Delivery System has promising capacity to treat a variety of thoracic aortic conditions in a range of anatomies.

To investigate the feasibility and safety of vascular closure device (VCD) deployment outside the catheterization laboratory. ⋯ VCD deployment outside the catheterization laboratory does not increase the rate of major vascular complications and may be an alternative approach for femoral artery hemostasis when VCD deployment needs to be deferred.
-
To examine the outcomes following interventions for type II endoleaks in patients with aneurysm sac expansion after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). ⋯ This study demonstrates that most patients require multiple reinterventions to treat type II endoleaks; specifically, lumbar artery embolization carries a low midterm success rate.

To present midterm outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) with laser fenestration to revascularize the left subclavian artery (LSA) as an alternative to debranching. ⋯ In situ retrograde laser fenestration is a feasible and effective option for revascularizing the LSA during emergent TEVAR. Longer follow-up is necessary to determine the durability of this technique.
