  • Title: Behçet's disease: endovascular management of a ruptured peripheral arterial aneurysm.
    Author: Kasirajan K, Marek JM, Langsfeld M.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 2001 Dec; 34(6):1127-9. PubMed ID: 11743572.
    Abstract:
    Traditionally, bypass grafts are at a high risk for thrombosis or anastomotic degeneration in patients with Behçet's disease. We report the successful deployment of a vein-covered stent across the neck of a ruptured peripheral arterial aneurysm, via a remote site access, with intermediate-term follow-up. Covered stents may represent an attractive alternative to open surgical bypass for the management of aneurysms in patients with Behçet's disease.
