Open Repair for Juxtarenal Aortic Aneurysm: Short and Long-term Results.

Background: The recent technological evolution has also allowed for the treatment of juxtarenal aortic aneurysm (JAA) with an endovascular technique, but short- and long-term results must be compared with the results of open treatment, which is the gold standard. In this study, we analyzed the short- and long-term results of open surgical treatment (open repair) in patients with JAA in our series.

Methods: From January 2006 to December 2016, 155 patients were treated for JAA with open repair; the data were analyzed retrospectively.

Surgical treatment for pseudo-occlusion of the internal carotid artery.

Objectives: Carotid artery pseudo-occlusion is a rare condition and its natural history and clinicopathological characteristics are not well defined. We reported our 7-year experience in the surgical treatment of carotid artery pseudo-occlusion to determine the real benefit of the surgical option.

Methods: From January 2006 to December 2013, 1414 patients were treated for high-grade stenosis of the internal carotid artery, 33 (2.

Surgery for acute lower limb ischemia in the elderly population: results of a comparative study.

Background: To evaluate the outcome of surgical treatment of acute lower limb ischemia in elderly patients. The primary endpoints were early and midterm rates of survival and limb salvage.

Methods: A retrospective analysis involving 76 consecutive patients observed for acute lower limb ischemia between March 2005 and December 2008 who underwent revascularization was conducted.

Intrasac fibrin glue injection after platinum coils placement: the efficacy of a simple intraoperative procedure in preventing type II endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair.

Objectives: To verify in our experience if fibrin glue injection into the aneurysm sac, made at the end of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), can reduce type II endoleak rates.

Methods: Between January 2005 and February 2008, 38 patients underwent EVAR for an unruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. The first 20 consecutive patients (Group A) had standard EVAR while the last 18 patients (Group B) had EVAR with fibrin glue injection into the sac, regardless of type II endoleak's presence.

Hypogastric artery bypass in open repair of abdominal aortoiliac aneurysm: a safe procedure.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the immediate and mid-term results of hypogastric artery bypass (HAB) in open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

Methods: The clinical data of 24 patients with an average age of 70.4 years [standard deviation (S.
