Prognostic relevance of female gender on mortality after peripheral artery disease revascularization.

Introduction: Lower limb peripheral artery disease (PAD) presents high morbidity and mortality. Women represent a small subgroup in different studies, with scarce evidence regarding the prognosis of this gender on PAD. The aim of the present work was to determine the prognostic impact of female gender on lower limb PAD revascularization.

[Procedural and long-term outcomes of elective endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in octogenarians].

Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the immediate and long-term outcomes of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) between patients under and over the age of 80 with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

Methods: From 2011 to 2017, we conducted a retrospective cohort study with AAA patients who received elective EVAR. Primary outcomes included hospital mortality, length of stay, acute kidney injury, and the need for re-interventions.

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio predict in-hospital mortality in symptomatic but unruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm patients.

Background: Symptomatic but unruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a potentially fatal disease since its etiopathogenesis, involving acute changes in the aortic wall, including inflammation, increasing the probability of impending rupture. The objective of the present study was to assess the prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patients undergoing urgent symptomatic AAA repair.

Methods: This was a retrospective study including 29 patients with symptomatic AAA repaired between 2011 and 2020.

[Five-year outcomes of elective infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair at a university hospital in Argentina].

Objective: Few data about outcomes of elective infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair in Latin America have been published. The objective of the present study is to address this aspect in our population.

Method: Retrospective cohort, in which patients with infrarenal AAA undergoing elective surgical or endovascular repair from January 2011 to May 2017 at a university hospital in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires were consecutively included.

Additive prognosis of clinical presentation in revascularized peripheral arterial disease patients.

Background: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality. It may present with diverse clinical presentations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognosis of these clinical presentations.

Endovascular treatment of paravisceral mycotic aneurysm: Chimmeny endovascular sealing the end of de road.

Open surgery is the elective treatment for mycotic aneurysms of the aorta. This surgery consists of resection of the aneurysm, debridement and revascularization with an in situ or extra-anatomic bypass. Even when surgery has been successful, the morbi-mortality is raised and the endovascular treatment has become an alternative for specific patients.
