Endovascular salvage of renal artery bypass in pediatric a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a congenital vasculopathy that can affect the renal arteries, causing renovascular hypertension. We report a complex case of a pediatric NF1 patient who required endovascular salvage of a renal artery bypass. Treatment for pediatric renovascular NF1 requires close surveillance and the ability to pivot to rescue therapies.

- This study investigates long-term outcomes of urgent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for patients with ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysms (rTAA) compared to intact aneurysms (iTAA).
- Among 321 patients treated, those with rTAA had lower short-term survival rates and higher incidences of complications, but similar long-term survival rates to iTAA patients if they survived the first 90 days.
- The findings highlight that while immediate outcomes are worse for rTAA patients, their long-term survival becomes comparable to iTAA patients after a significant early survival period.
Reliability and validity testing of the ASSIST functional performance index.

September 2023
Reliability and validity testing of the ASSIST Functional Performance Index (AFPI) was conducted, focusing on persons with physical disabilities (PwPD). The AFPI was iteratively developed to assess persons' needs for Mainstream Smart Home Technologies (MSHT) as Assistive Technology (AT) and to measure the impact of a service delivery model for MSHT. The AFPI consists of 46 items organized by functional domains.

We hypothesize that examine and compare the use of local or regional anesthesia (LRA) to that of GA in patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).
Methods: Patients undergoing TEVAR between 2010 and 2020 in the Vascular Quality Initiative were analyzed.
