Objectives: Aim of the study was to analyse the impact of preoperative thoracoabdominal aneurysm diameter on the outcomes of fenestrated/branched endografting.
Methods: Patients who underwent endovascular thoracoabdominal repair at 2 European centres (2011-2021) were analysed. Median diameter was calculated; the third quartile was considered a cut-off.
Objectives: Thoracic/abdominal aortic aneurysms and aortic stenosis may be concomitant diseases requiring both transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and endovascular aneurysm repair (T/EVAR) in high-risk patients for surgical approaches, but temporal management is not clearly defined yet. The aim of the study was to analyse outcomes of simultaneous versus staged TAVI and T/EVAR.
Methods: Retrospective observational multicentre study was performed on patients requiring TAVI and T/EVAR from 2016 to 2022.
Background: Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) has emerged as an alternative therapeutic modality to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and transfemoral carotid artery stenting (TFCAS) for the management of patients with carotid artery stenosis. However, certain issues regarding the indications and contraindications of TCAR remain unanswered or unresolved. The aim of this international, expert-based Delphi consensus document was to attempt to provide some guidance on these topics.

- The study investigates the effectiveness of a hybrid stent graft technique for ensuring the patency of renal arteries during endovascular aortic repair in patients with complex thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.
- Data from three centers reveal that 14.2% of patients had hostile renal artery anatomies, and the technique showed a high technical success rate with no initial occlusions reported.
- Over a median follow-up of 21 months, the primary patency rate of the renal arteries was 97%, with only a small percentage of patients requiring re-interventions for complications.
