- A 67-year-old woman resented with an acute type A aortic dissection, which was treated surgically with aortic valve replacement as a composite graft with reimplantation of the coronary arteries. At the end of surgery, a left-ventricular venting catheter was placed through the apex and closed with a buffered suture. Consecutive computed tomography (CT) examinations verified a growing apex pseudoaneurysm. Communication between the ventricle and the pseudoaneurysm was successfully closed with an Amplatz septal plug by the transfemoral route. Follow-up CT showed an additional pseudoaneurysm, which also was successfully closed using the same method.

- Two male patients, 75 and 53 years old, with totally occluded esophagus were treated. Sharp recanalization was performed using a combined radiologic and endoscopic technique. Following successful penetration with the needle through the occluded segment and balloon dilation, the created channel was stabilized with esophageal stent, with subsequent palliative effect.

- Background: Stent-graft treatment of the patients with ongoing bleeding may be beneficial in specific situations, especially when preservation of blood flow to the distant organs is important. Purpose: To present the results of stent-graft placement for urgent treatment or prevention of the bleeding. Material and Methods: Stent-graft placement was performed urgently for the treatment of active bleeding and/or pseudoaneurysm/aneurysm in 17 patients. Diagnoses were based on clinical findings and/or imaging studies. The etiology was previous major surgery and/or percutaneous intervention in 13, malignancy in one, pancreatitis and pseudocyst in one, multitrauma due to traffic accident in one and unknown cause in one patient. Results: A total of 23 stent-grafts were placed. Angiograms obtained after placement revealed patent stent-graft with no further active extravasation or filling of pseudoaneurysm in 14 patients. Due to persistent bleeding, embolization was performed in two patients. In three patients, the stent-grafts were found to be thrombosed either immediately after placement (n = 1) or at follow-up (n = 2). Stent-grafts were patent in six of nine patients that could be followed (between 3 months and 6 years). Conclusion: Urgent stent-graft placement may be an alternative to endovascular embolization or surgery. It may be preferred when embolization is technically difficult or impossible and/or when preservation of blood supply to distal organs is essential such as in liver transplant grafts or extremity salvage.

- Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is present in approximately 25% of the general population. PFO is characterized by intermittent shunting of blood from the right to the left atrium, especially in the context of increased right-sided filling pressures, with risk of paradoxical embolism. We describe a 69-year-old woman presenting with acute chest pain, severe dyspnoea, and acute inferolateral ST-segment elevation on the electrocardiogram. The patient was diagnosed with myocardial infarction and failure of the right cardiac ventricle, which was considered to be secondary to extensive pulmonary embolism leading to increased filling pressures and paradoxical coronary embolism. The patient underwent emergent percutaneous interventions with coronary thrombus extraction and pulmonary thrombus fragmentation and local thrombolysis. The patient was free of symptoms at follow up 6 months later and echocardiography showed substantially improved right ventricular function. We discuss issues related to the diagnosis, treatment, and secondary prevention for patients with concomitant pulmonary and coronary arterial thrombosis.

Interventional treatment of mesenteric venous occlusion.

- Mesenteric venous thrombus may be an incidental finding during imaging studies and asymptomatic patients are treated conservatively or with anticoagulant therapy only. Patients with symptomatic acute thrombosis causing bowel ischemia require urgent treatment, which frequently includes extensive surgery. Interventional treatment may be an alternative.
