Editor's Choice - Nationwide Analysis of Patients Undergoing Iliac Artery Aneurysm Repair in the Netherlands.

Objective: The new 2019 guideline of the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) recommends consideration for elective iliac artery aneurysm (eIAA) repair when the iliac diameter exceeds 3.5 cm, as opposed to 3.0 cm previously.

Pancreas graft salvage after successful endovascular treatment of Y graft pseudoaneurysm.

Pancreas transplantation is the most successful treatment option for patients with autoimmune type 1 diabetes. However, the surgical procedure is associated with high morbidity rates. The present case report describes a patient receiving simultaneous pancreas/kidney transplantation.

One-Year Outcomes of Endovascular Aneurysm Repair in High-Risk Patients Using the Endurant Stent-Graft: Comparison of the ASA Classification and SVS/AAVS Medical Comorbidity Grading System for the Prediction of Mortality and Adverse Events.

Purpose: To evaluate the outcome and survival of patients with extensive comorbid conditions after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and objectify which of 2 medical comorbidity classifications is more accurate in predicting adverse outcomes.

Methods: All 1263 patients (mean age 73.1 years; 1129 men) treated using the Endurant Stent Graft system and entered in the prospective global postmarketing ENGAGE registry (ClinicalTrials.

EndoAnchors to Resolve Persistent Type Ia Endoleak Secondary to Proximal Cuff With Parallel Graft Placement.

Purpose: To describe 2 patients with a distally migrated endograft causing a type Ia endoleak and treatment with a proximal cuff and chimney grafts that required EndoAnchors to finally seal the leak.

Case Report: Two men, ages 86 and 72 years, presented with stent-graft migration and type Ia endoleak at 5 and 15 years after endovascular repair, respectively. Both were treated with a proximal cuff in combination with a chimney graft to the left renal artery.

Endovascular aneurysm sealing for juxtarenal aneurysm using the Nellix device and chimney covered stents.

Purpose: To show the feasibility of the Nellix device in conjunction with a chimney technique for treating juxtarenal aneurysms in two patients who were deemed unsuitable for fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair or open surgery.

Case Reports: Two men aged 83 and 81 years were referred with a juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (66 and 69 mm, respectively). Both were considered for open surgery as well as custom-made fenestrated stent-graft but deemed unsuitable for both options.
