• Etiology and management of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm formation in patients of chronic kidney disease: A series of three cases
  Vikas Deep Goyal, Gaurav MisraIndian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2021 8(4):366-368 Hemodialysis access is not a common cause of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm (FAP) formation. FAP formation during dialysis access is due to inadvertent cannulation of the femoral artery instead of the femoral vein. The ruptured FAPs can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. […]
• An unusual cause for median nerve palsy after brachial catheterization: Report of two cases
  Thilina Gunawardena, Manujaya Godakandage, Rezni Cassim, Mandika WijeyaratneIndian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2021 8(4):369-372 Median nerve palsy is an uncommon complication of brachial artery catheterization. Compression from a pseudoaneurysm at the puncture site is rarely implicated as the cause for such median nerve dysfunction. Here, we report two patients who developed median nerve […]
• Stem cell for vascular disease: Past, present, and future
  Pritee SharmaIndian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2021 8(4):360-362
• Advancement on the alexis carrel technique: A practical alternative for continuous end-to-end vascular anastomosis
  Animesh Singla, Krishna KotechaIndian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2021 8(4):363-365 Since description of the first vascular anastomosis techniques pioneered by Alexis Carrel, vascular reconstructive techniques have undergone several advancements. The traditional three-point “Alexis” technique for and end-to-end anastomosis remains a textbook description of an ideal anastomosis, especially in microsurgery. In clinical practice, dissection […]
• HawkOne directional atherectomy for infra-inguinal arteries: A review of technique, tips, tricks and contemporary literature
  Gurkirat Singh, Omar Aziz, Arvind Dhas LeeIndian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2021 8(4):306-309 This review aims to explore the HawkOne atherectomy (Medtronic), a single use directional atherectomy device, explaining in depth its indication, selection, preparation and application. It further provides techniques and tips to troubleshoot the device upon its use. Further, a review […]
• Sexual dysfunction following aortoiliac surgery: Does endovascular repair preserve erectile function??
  Souad Benallal, Mourad Raiah, Karima ChenniIndian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2021 8(4):355-359 Objective: The purpose is to determine the incidence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in patients with aortoiliac occlusive disease and compare the change of ED after open surgery and endovascular repair. Materials and Methods: A prospective and comparative study in a single […]
• Idiopathic large-vessel vasculitis presenting as acute abdomen and mesenteric ischemia
  Natarajan Sekar, Iyappan PonnuswamyIndian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2021 8(4):341-346 Objective: The term “large-vessel vasculitis” encompasses the spectrum of primary vasculitis that causes chronic granulomatous inflammation predominantly of the aorta and its major branches. The two major categories of large-vessel (LV) vasculitis are giant cell arteritis and Takayasu arteritis. LV vasculitis of unknown […]
• Thrombosed abdominal aortic aneurysm with horseshoe kidney presenting with acute limb ischemia
  Muhammad Aizat Tamlikha, Sunil Siri Pathamanathan, Hanif HusseinIndian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2021 8(4):378-380 Acute thrombosis of an abdominal aortic aneurysm with a horseshoe kidney (HSK) is a very rare phenomenon. This anatomical anomaly poses a challenge for the surgeon which requires prompt treatment. We present a case report of an elderly man […]
• Role of CO2 angioplasty as a safe option in endovascular treatment of peripheral arterial disease in high-risk patients using dedicated automated OptiMed CO2 delivery system
  Lakshmi Sudha Prasanna Karanam, Sridhar Reddy Baddam, S Prasad Ravikanti, K Sai Shravan KumarIndian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2021 8(4):332-336 Aim: The aim of this study was to emphasize the role of CO2 angioplasty using dedicated automatic OptiMed CO2 delivery system in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) of high-risk group. Iodinated contrast […]
• Extra-anatomical iliopopliteal bypass: A novel revascularization technique for infected femoral grafts and pseudoaneurysms
  Mayank Yadav, Mohd Azam Haseen, Sumit Pratap SinghIndian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2021 8(4):337-340 Introduction: Pseudoaneurysm of the femoral artery or an infected graft in the femoral region is a very serious disease with devastating complication. The aim of this study is to describe a novel technique for its management in the form […]
