Article Synopsis
- The study compared early and late outcomes of two surgical interventions for peripheral artery occlusive disease: hybrid intervention (femoral artery endarterectomy and SFA stenting) versus above-the-knee femoro-popliteal bypass.
- Conducted at two academic centers from 2006 to 2017, the study included 82 patients in the hybrid intervention group and 98 in the bypass group, with similar preoperative characteristics and perioperative outcomes.
- Results showed that at five years, the bypass group had better survival (77.5% vs. 60%), primary patency rates (64% vs. 46%), and limb maintenance (94% vs. 85%), indicating that bypass surgery is more effective
Background: To analyze our experience and to describe access and arch-related challenges when performing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for penetrating aortic ulcers (PAUs).
Methods: This is a single-center, observational, cohort study. Between October 2003 and February 2019, 48 patients with PAU were identified; 37 (77.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the use of cryopreserved human allografts (CHAs) for treating vascular infections related to aortic and peripheral prosthetic grafts, involving 21 patients primarily male with an average age of 71 years.
- The methodology involved complete removal of infected grafts followed by the administration of anticoagulants, with regular follow-ups to monitor complications and outcomes over a median period of 14 months.
- Results showed a 100% limb salvage rate, a 14% in-hospital mortality rate with no deaths linked to CHA complications, and a 95% success rate in avoiding adverse events related to CHAs over three years, indicating that CHAs could be a reliable option for managing prosthetic graft infections
