Purpose: Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is currently expanding its feasibility thanks to design innovations, but hostile proximal necks and narrow iliac arteries are still a constraint, as expressed by the Instructions for Use (IFU) of most devices. Our aim is to report the preliminary results of the E-Tegra endograft in infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) performed in 15 high-volume centers.
Materials And Methods: The e-Tegra Italian endoGraft REgistry (TIGRE) is a prospectively maintained database of consecutive EVAR with the E-Tegra stent-graft across 15 participating centers between March 2021 and March 2023.
The recent shift of the concept of cardiovascular disease as a chronic progressive condition, potentially involving multiple districts, has driven attention to the optimal management of patients with concomitant coronary and peripheral artery disease, representing a subset of patients with an increased risk of events and impaired survival. Recent pharmacological achievements in terms of antithrombotic therapy and lipid-lowering drugs allow multiple therapeutical combinations, thus requiring optimizing the treatment in a tailored fashion according to patients' risk profiles. Nevertheless, data dedicated to this specific subset of patients are still modest.

Methods: Multicenter/retrospective/observational study. A database was sent to all the Italian vascular surgeries to collect all the patients operated on for CLTI in 2019.

Objective: To demonstrate the feasibility of laparoscopic secondary cytoreduction of isolated lymph node relapse of ovarian carcinoma.
Design: A video explanation of a safe excision of ovarian cancer relapse using pictures to show the anatomic landmark of the retroperitoneum guiding the procedure.
Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ospedale degli Infermi Hospital, Biella, Italy.
