Evolution of quality of life, anxiety, and depression over time in patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm approaching the surgical threshold.

Background: Contrary to the impact of screening, the effect of long-term surveillance on the quality of life of patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm is not well known. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe patient-reported outcomes of patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm approaching the surgical threshold.

Methods: This multicentre, observational cohort study included patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm with a maximum aneurysm diameter of greater than or equal to 40 mm.

Kidney graft directly implanted on endovascular stent in external iliac artery: A preliminary experience.

With an increasingly aging population, both end-stage renal disease and peripheral artery disease become more prevalent. Peripheral artery disease is increasingly treated with endovascular procedures. Endovascular stenting of the external iliac artery is often considered a contraindication for kidney transplantation, as clamping of the artery could result in possible injury to the stent.
