Chronic Total Occlusions
Prolonged and controlled balloon inflation is a key determinant of vessel preparation in peripheral angioplasty. A slow rise to nominal pressure and a 150–180 second hold reduce dissections, stabilize the arterial wall and improve drug-coated balloon performance.
endoluminal vs subintimal
Endoluminal or subintimal recanalization? Practical guide to choosing the right approach for chronic total occlusions based on lesion length, vessel calcification, and anatomy — with evidence-based insights from daily endovascular practice.
EVAR
EVAR changed the paradigm of aortic repair — but not its nature. What if the most elegant procedure in vascular surgery still lives inside its own paradox: a seal built on a moving wall, a success that must be watched forever?
Guidewire Bending
Guidewire bending is not about aesthetics—it’s about intention. The shape you give to the wire defines whether you slide, drill, or anchor, and can even decide the outcome of an EVAR. In this article, we explore the essential curves and what they really mean inside the vessel.
