State of the art: Management of iliac artery aneurysmal disease.
Although relatively uncommon, isolated iliac artery aneurysms are associated with significant risk of rupture and death. Clinical presentation can be confusing and ultrasound or CT imaging is paramount in establishing the diagnosis and anatomical extent of disease. Important considerations prior to intervention include […]

Optimal treatment of renal artery in-stent restenosis: Repeat stent placement versus angioplasty alone.
OBJECTIVE:: We investigated whether repeat renal artery stent placement compared with treatment with balloon angioplasty alone results in better patency in patients presenting with renal artery in-stent restenosis (ISR). BACKGROUND:: Although stent placement for renal artery stenosis has been demonstrated […]
Does gadolinium-based angiography protect against contrast-induced nephropathy?: A systematic review of the literature.
We evaluated the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients exposed to gadolinium for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.BACKGROUND:: CIN with iodinated contrast agents is a leading cause of acute renal failure. Gadolinium is often used as an alternative to iodinated […]
Device closure of large atrial septal defects requiring devices >/=20 mm in small children weighing <20 kg.
OBJECTIVE:: To report our experience of transcatheter closure of large atrial septal defects (ASDs) in small children. BACKGROUND:: Although transcatheter closure of small and medium sized ASDs is well established, large ASDs are still mostly treated […]
The impact of interruption of anomalous systemic arterial supply on scimitar syndrome presenting during infancy.
OBJECTIVES:: We sought to evaluate the impact of interruption of anomalous systemic arterial supply (ASAS) on clinical course and management outcome of scimitar syndrome (SS) presenting during infancy. BACKGROUND:: No systematic study has been reported so far on […]
Assessment of operability of congenital cardiac shunts with increased pulmonary vascular resistance.
Patients with large left to right shunts as a result of congenital heart disease can develop changes in pulmonary vasculature that are initially reversible. It is critical in these patients to determine whether closure of the defect would reverse some of […]
