Diagnostic Angiography of Specific Vascular Territories
The most common variant location for gonadal artery origins is the renal arteries (20%), followed by the adrenal, lumbar, or even iliac arteries. In a small percentage of patients, the lower anterior spinal artery (artery of Adamkiewicz) will arise from the L1 or L2 lumbar artery. If the accessory renal artery is of similar caliber to the main renal artery, thus supplying a large portion of the renal blood supply, revascularization of the stenosed accessory renal arteries can be justified.

Robotics in Vascular Surgery: Current Status and Potentials
We report on an experimental laboratory study, using a da Vinci® surgical system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, California) to compare robot-assisted versus conventional laparoscopic aortic reconstruction with an interposition graft. Subsequently, we report on our clinical experience with both the da Vinci surgical system and the Zeus® surgical system (Computer Motion, Goleta, California) in aortobifemoral bypass grafting as a treatment for aortoiliac occlusive disease. Feasibility of ...

Recognizing Expertise: Obtaining Certification by the American Board of Vascular Medicine
The recently founded American Board of Vascular Medicine (ABVM) is an independent organization offering board certification in vascular and endovascular medicine. The board?s first set of exams will be offered in September 2005. Dr. Michael Jaff, member of the ABVM board of directors, discusses the benefits of board certification for the variety of physicians involved in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with non-coronary vascular disease.

Most Thoracic Aneurysms and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms are Best Treated Open: What does the future hold?
Most Thoracic Aneurysms and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms are Best Treated Open: What does the future hold? Durability of descending thoracic aortic repair has been established in our series.1 Because of the questionable durability of endovascular repair in the thoracic aorta, most thoracic aneurysms are still best treated by the open technique. escending thoracic aortic aneurysm repair: 12-year experience using distal aortic perfusion and cerebrospinal fluid drainage.
