Technical performance and reproducibility following rotational atherectomy of femoropopliteal artery occlusive lesions: analysis of the multicenter MORPHEAS Registry.

Background: The purpose of this study was to define patient and anatomical factors associated with technical results specific to rotational atherectomy. Controversy exists surrounding appropriate utilization of atherectomy to treat femoral-popliteal atherosclerosis. Importantly, the existence of different atherectomy devices and lack of technical reports highlighting variables that impact outcomes obscures the ability to assess perioperative performance.

A Multicenter Experience With a New Fenestrated-Branched Device for Endovascular Repair of Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms.

Purpose: To investigate the outcomes of patients who were treated for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) using custom-made fenestrated-branched stent-grafts.

Methods: A consecutive series of 108 patients (mean age 73.5 years; 73 men) with TAAA were treated with E-xtra Design Engineering customized fenestrated-branched stent-grafts between November 2011 and January 2017.
