Background: Fusion imaging systems have proved to reduce radiation exposure mostly in hybrid rooms but reports with mobile C-arms are few. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of the Endonaut navigation system on radiation exposure in endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) performed with mobile C-arms.
Methods: All patients undergoing EVAR and/or iliac branched devices implantation between January 2016 and August 2022 were included.
Background Acute arterial mesenteric ischemia requires emergency treatment and is associated with high mortality rate and poor quality of life. Identifying factors associated with survival without intestinal resection (hereafter, intestinal resection-free [IRF] survival) could help in treatment decision-making after first-line endovascular revascularization. Purpose To identify factors associated with 30-day IRF survival in patients with acute arterial mesenteric ischemia whose first-line treatment was endovascular revascularization.

Backgroud: The learning curve and midterm results of aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) revascularization by robot-assisted laparoscopic (RAL) surgery may be known.
Methods: A prospective single-center study was conducted in the vascular surgery department of Georges Pompidou European Hospital (Paris, France). Patients with AIOD treated by RAL from February 2014 to February 2019 were included.
Radiologists play a central role in the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of patients with acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI). Unfortunately, more than half of AMI patients undergo imaging with no prior suspicion of AMI, making identifying this disease even more difficult. A confirmed diagnosis of AMI is ideally made with dynamic contrast-enhanced CT but the diagnosis may be made on portal-venous phase images in appropriate clinical settings.

Background: Early diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is essential for a favorable outcome. Selection of patients requiring a dedicated multiphasic computed tomography (CT) scan remains a clinical challenge.
Methods: In this cross-sectional diagnostic study conducted from 2016 to 2018, we compared the presentation of AMI patients admitted to an intestinal stroke center to patients with acute abdominal pain of another origin admitted to the emergency room (controls).

Objective: The aim of this study was to propose computed tomography angiography (CTA) based anatomical segmentation of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), in order to standardise the reporting of occlusive lesions in acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI).
Methods: A retrospective CTA evaluation of patients with occlusive AMI admitted between 2016 and 2021. After the screening of 468 patients, 95 were included.
Background: Data about reperfusion injury (RI) following acute arterial mesenteric ischemia (AAMI) in humans are scarce. We aimed to assess the prevalence and risk factors of RI following endovascular revascularization of AMI and evaluate its impact on patient outcomes.
Methods: Patients with AAMI who underwent endovascular revascularization (2016-2021) were included in this retrospective cohort.

Introduction: Isolated mesenteric artery dissection (IMAD) is uncommon and has not been investigated in detail. This study aimed to accurately identify the morphological differences of IMAD patients with control individuals using a detailed 3D volumetric analysis.
Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, cases were patients with acute symptomatic IMAD treated in a French intestinal stroke center between January 2016 and November 2019.
Purpose: To characterize remodeling of conservatively treated isolated mesenteric artery dissection (IMAD) using 3-dimensional (3D) volumetric analysis.
Material And Methods: Patients with Type I/II (classification of Yun) treated by conservative therapy between January 2018 and January 2020 were prospectively included. Semiautomatic morphological analysis of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) included volumetric measurements of the true lumen (TL), false lumen (FL), and overall lumen (OL) and 3D aortomesenteric angles from computed tomography angiography data at admission (T0), 1 month (T1), and 12 months (T12).
Objective: To report clinical outcomes of COVID-19 related acute aortic thrombosis (AAT).
Methods: Consecutive COVID-19 patients presenting with AAT between April 2020 and August 2021 were included retrospectively. Clinical and radiological data were prospectively collected.
Objective: This study aimed to report outcomes of patients with symptomatic acute isolated mesenteric artery dissection (IMAD) treated within a French intestinal stroke centre (ISC).
Methods: All patients with symptomatic IMAD referred to the ISC from January 2016 to January 2020 were included prospectively. Patients with aortic dissection and asymptomatic IMAD were not included.
Objective: To report the 3-year experience of endovascular revascularization of acute arterial mesenteric ischemia (AMI) from an intestinal stroke center unit (ISCU).
Method: All data from patients admitted to the ISCU between January 2016 and January 2019 for arterial AMI who underwent endovascular recanalization were prospectively acquired and retrospectively analyzed. Patient demographics, clinical and laboratory characteristics at presentation, and CT scans were reviewed.
MANAGEMENT OF ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSMS The abdominal aortic aneurysm is a permanent dilation of the aorta with a diameter of more than 30 mm. It can be strictly infra-renal or be located opposite the origin of the digestive and renal arteries (complex aneurysm). Most often fortuitous, the diagnosis must seek a secondary location of the aneurysmal disease (thoracic aorta, popliteal artery) as well as other manifestations of atheromatous disease.
