Insights

This study reports a novel endovascular technique for treating severe aortic and iliac artery blockages. The GuideLiner catheter successfully facilitated balloon delivery, overcoming challenging occlusive lesions in peripheral intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Bilateral intermittent claudication in an 80-year-old Japanese woman.
  • Diagnostic imaging revealed severe calcification and total occlusion of the terminal aorta and bilateral common iliac arteries.

Keywords:
Aorto-iliac arteryCalcificationChronic total occlusionEndovascular treatment

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended.

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...
