Objective: The objective of this study was to compare outcomes of patients with favorable neck angulation (FNA) and hostile neck angulation (HNA) treated with the Treovance stent graft (Terumo Aortic [formerly Bolton Medical], Sunrise, Fla).
Methods: Patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms suitable for endovascular repair with Treovance were included in the RATIONALE postmarket surveillance registry. A post hoc subgroup analysis compared patients with infrarenal neck angles <60 degrees (FNA) and ≥60 degrees (HNA).

Purpose: To present the performance and safety of the Treovance stent graft for endovascular aortic aneurysm repair in a "real-world" patient cohort.
Methods: Patients from 2 centers, deemed unfit for open repair, were electively treated with the Treovance endograft. Clinical preoperative, operative, and up to 1-year postoperative follow-up data of patients were retrospectively analyzed.
Hepatic artery aneurysms are uncommon visceral aneurysms that are usually found incidentally on imaging. We present a case of large common hepatic aneurysm presenting with life-threatening hematemesis due to duodenal erosion, in a 66-year-old man, treated by embolization with Onyx and coils while preserving hepatic perfusion.
