Background: To compare the diagnostic accuracy and predictive value of aneurysm sac volume measurement versus maximum diameter measurement of abdominal aortic aneurysm sac after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in patients with type II endoleak.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective study on a cohort of 103 patients who presented with a type II endoleak after EVAR for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. Maximum diameter and volumetric measurements were calculated on computed tomography follow-up scans at 3 months and 1 year after index surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • - Spontaneous isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery is uncommon and can show various clinical symptoms, with treatment tailored to the symptoms and imaging results.
  • - A case study details a 51-year-old man who experienced ongoing abdominal pain, and imaging revealed an isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery with severe narrowing and a thrombosed false lumen.
  • - The patient received a definitive treatment using a coronary covered stent to restore blood flow in the true lumen and effectively close off the false lumen.

Objective: To investigate the role of the Omniflow II prosthesis in the prevention of vascular graft infection (VGI) in patients with peripheral arterial disease and to report on short-and mid-term graft-related morbidity.

Material And Methods: Patients were included in prospective registry between October 2019 and March 2023. The primary endpoint was to report infection-related problems, operation-related wound problems, and short- and mid-term graft-related morbidity.

Based on our study, no antithrombotic therapy is significantly associated with bridging stent occlusion, and no evidence of the superiority of other antithrombotic therapy exists. Nevertehless, due to the low number of bridging stent occlusions, this study can neither support nor reject the PRINCE2SS recommendations. Further studies with larger cohorts are needed to determine clear guideliness of the best antithrombotic treatment regimen after complex enfovascular aortic repair.

This systematic review aimed to assess the efficacy of Leukocyte- and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) for the treatment of vascular leg ulcers. Following PRISMA guidelines, a literature search was done for studies where L-PRF was used to treat vascular leg ulcers. Among six included articles, a total of 76 venous leg ulcers were treated with L-PRF.
