Stents (non covered )
The Cardiatis multilayer stent (Cardiatis, Isnes, Belgium) is a cobalt, self-expandable bare stent made of two interconnected layers without any covering that allows a pressure decrease and thrombus formation into an aneurysmal sac, while improving laminar flow in the main artery and surrounding vital branches. We report a case of an anastomotic iliac pseudoaneurysm successfully treated with the deployment of a Cardiatis multilayer stent

A 57-year-old female presented with severe comorbidity affected by a 58 mm thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA). After patient-informed consent and local Ethical Committee and Italian Public Health Ministry authorization, three multilayer stents were implanted in the thoracoabdominal aortic tract, obtaining at a 20-month computed tomography scan follow up, a complete exclusion of the TAAA, with normal patency of visceral vessels.

Under compassionate use, an 81-year-old man with multiple comorbidities and an expanding 63-mm juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm was treated with a 28x100-mm Multilayer flow-modulating stent. Immediately, the blood flow velocity inside the aneurysm sac appeared reduced on fluoroscopy. All aortic branches covered by the stent (celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, and renal arteries) remained patent. Serial computed tomography at up to 12 months has shown excellent stent and visceral artery patency and progressive reduction in the sac diameter (58 mm) and volume (84.9 cm(3) to 82.8 cm(3)).
