Interventional Angiography
Emergent interventional angiography was performed through a 10Fr sheath
via a brachial or femoral approach. Stent grafts were used in all
patients (Bard Fluency, C. R. Bard, Inc. New Jersey, USA), with the
additional use of a balloon expandable stent (Medtronic Assurant Cobalt,
Medtronic Inc. Minneapolis, USA) in some. After the procedure, patients
were closely monitored in the intensive care unit (ICU) for several days
before being discharged home.
