Factors Associated with Increased Fluoroscopy Time During Elective Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair and Its Utilization as an Indicator of Intraoperative and Postoperative Outcomes.

Objectives: This study explores the impact of prolonged fluoroscopy time (FT) on outcomes in endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). While total operative time includes multiple variables, FT precisely captures the technical precision of the EVAR procedure. By examining the factors that extend FT, we aim to establish FT as a critical quality metric for evaluating surgical performance and predicting postoperative outcomes.

Ipsilateral dual cannulation is associated with wound complications following veno-arterial ECMO decannulation.

Background: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) is a well-established treatment for severe cardio-pulmonary failure. The use of large bore cannulas in the femoral vessels for an extended period has been associated with significant wound complications. There is a lack of data analyzing risk factors that can mitigate such complications.

Blunt Mesenteric Vascular Injuries: Endovascular Management and Midterm Outcomes.

Introduction: Visceral artery injuries are rare but lethal entities that pose significant management challenges in a patient who presents with blunt trauma. There is a paucity of specific guidelines both in the trauma and vascular literature regarding the management of blunt intra-abdominal vascular injuries. The midterm outcomes of two cases of blunt traumatic visceral artery injuries managed successfully with endovascular interventions are presented.
