Clinical Outcomes of Non-Stent-Based Interventions for Symptomatic Below-the-Knee Peripheral Artery Disease in the Excellence in Peripheral Artery Disease (XLPAD) Registry.

For endovascular treatment of below-the-knee (BTK) peripheral artery disease (PAD), independently adjudicated real-world outcomes comparing non-stent-based balloon angioplasty (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty) and adjunctive treatments with or without a concomitant ipsilateral femoropopliteal (FP) artery intervention are scarce. A total of 1,060 patients from the multicenter XLPAD registry who underwent non-stent-based BTK PAD intervention between 2006 and 2021 were included. The primary outcome was the 1-year incidence of major adverse limb events (MALEs), a composite of all-cause death, any amputation, or clinically driven repeat revascularization.

Five-year outcomes of endovascular treatment for aortic dissection from the Global Registry for Endovascular Aortic Treatment.

Objective: The Global Registry for Endovascular Aortic Treatment (GREAT) is an International prospective multicenter registry collecting real-world data on performance of Gore aortic endografts. The purpose was to analyze the long-term outcomes and patient survival rates, as well as device performance in patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair for acute and chronic and complicated or uncomplicated type B aortic dissection (TBAD).

Methods: From August 2010 to October 2016, 5014 patients were enrolled in the GREAT registry.

Multi-center experience with intravascular lithotripsy for treatment of severe calcification during transcarotid artery revascularization for high-risk patients.

Objective: Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) offers a safe alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA), but severe calcification is currently considered a contraindication in carotid artery stenting. This study aims to describe the safety and effectiveness of TCAR with intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) in patients with traditionally prohibitive calcific disease.

Methods: All consecutive patients who underwent TCAR+IVL from 2018-2022 at nine institutions were identified.

Prosthetic outcomes after amputation and the impact of mobility level on survival.

Objective: Lower extremity amputation continues to be necessary in a significant number of patients with peripheral vascular disease. The 5-year survival following lower limb loss is markedly reduced. Many of these patients are never fitted with a prosthesis, and there is a dearth of knowledge regarding the barriers to prosthetic attainment.
