- ItemGlue embolus complicating the endovascular treatment of a patient with Loeys-Dietz syndrome(MOSBY-ELSEVIER, 2010) Marine, Leopoldo; Gupta, Rishi; Gornik, Heather L.; Kashyap, Vikram S.A 43-year-old woman was diagnosed with Loeys-Dietz syndrome. Five months later, the patient presented with a symptomatic 2.6-cm subclavian pseudoaneurysm. Staged endovascular treatment was initiated with left vertebral artery embolization, followed by sac ablation and stent graft exclusion. The pseudoaneurysm cavity was filled with n-butylcyanoacrylate ("glue") via a microcatheter. Despite balloon occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm orifice, a small amount of glue debris embolized to the brachial artery, necessitating a vein bypass. In this case, distal embolization of glue may have been avoided by leaving a microcatheter in the aneurysm sac for glue injection after first deploying the stent graft. (J Vasc Surg 2010;52:1350-3.)
- ItemHybrid Stent-Graft Repair of an Iatrogenic Complex Proximal Right Common Carotid Artery Injury(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2012) Marine, Leopoldo; Sarac, Timur P.Background: Iatrogenic carotid trauma requires early diagnosis and adequate treatment. Classic open repair may be technically challenging if trauma is in base of the neck. We present a case of an iatrogenic carotid pseudoaneurysm treated with endovascular repair.
- ItemPelvic intravenous leiomyomatosis with intracardiac extension. Report of two cases(SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2012) Mertens, Renato; Valdes, Francisco; Munoz, Cecilia; Irarrazaval, Manuel; Branes, Jorge; Riquelme, Carlos; Marine, Leopoldo; Bergoeing, Michel; Kraemer, AlbrechtIntravenous leiomyomatosis with extension into the heart is an infrequent entity described in 1907. Its clinical presentation is non-specific, although cardiac symptoms predominate. Diagnosis is based on clinical findings and appropriate imaging. We report two females, aged 35 and 51 years. One of them presented with a pelvic mass and dyspnea, the other patient had severe cardiac failure on admission. Computed axial tomography scan allowed an accurate preoperative diagnosis on both patients. Successful one stage resection of the tumor was performed under cardiopulmonary bypass. Both patients are asymptomatic on follow up at 6 months and 25 years. (Rev Med Chile 2012; 140: 906-909).
- ItemVentana Fenestrated Stent-Graft System for Endovascular Repair of Juxtarenal Aortic Aneurysms(ALLIANCE COMMUNICATIONS GROUP DIVISION ALLEN PRESS, 2012) Mertens, Renato; Bergoeing, Michel; Marine, Leopoldo; Valdes, Francisco; Kraemer, Albrecht; Vergara, JeanettePurpose: To describe the initial use of an off-the-shelf fenestrated stent-graft system for endovascular repair of juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms.
