Background: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become increasingly prevalent for treating asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). This study compares the early and late outcomes between EVAR and open aneurysm repair (OAR) in asymptomatic AAA patients.
Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted involving 564 patients (445 EVAR, 119 OAR) who underwent AAA repair from January 2010 to June 2022.
With large wildfires becoming more frequent, we must rapidly learn how megafires impact biodiversity to prioritize mitigation and improve policy. A key challenge is to discover how interactions among fire-regime components, drought and land tenure shape wildfire impacts. The globally unprecedented 2019-2020 Australian megafires burnt more than 10 million hectares, prompting major investment in biodiversity monitoring.

Methods: Patients treated and followed in two institutions receiving at least one BeGraft or BeGraft Plus as bridging covered stent between January 2018 and July 2023 were included.
Results: A total of 765 target vessels (TVs) in 281 patients were aimed to be bridged with the BeGraft or BeGraft Plus.
Article Synopsis
- The Delphi consensus aimed to clarify management practices for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) due to conflicting data in previous literature.
- A group of 44 experts anonymously discussed six key topics over three rounds, achieving a 100% response rate.
- Key findings included the agreement on minimum case volume for AAA repairs, the effectiveness of screening programs, lifelong surveillance after repair, and the consideration of screening for women smokers at 65, but no consensus on certain repair thresholds or thrombosis prevention was reached.
