Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and impact of acute and chronic kidney dysfunction after branched endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (BEVAR) perioperatively and during follow-up.
Methods: Patients with a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm were treated with BEVAR. Serum creatinine; estimated glomerular filtration rate at baseline, after 48 hours, at discharge, and after 1 and two years; perioperative results; and outcome during follow-up were evaluated.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of intercostal and lumbar segmental arteries (SAs) detectable on computed tomography angiography (CTA) on the risk of spinal cord ischemia (SCI) in patients undergoing single-step or two-staged branched endovascular aneurysm repair (BEVAR).
Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients treated with branched stent grafts for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm at a single institution from January 2009 to June 2015 was performed. Data including preoperative comorbidities, perioperative and aneurysm-related parameters, presence and type of endoleak, and rate of severe SCI at discharge or 30 days after the procedure were collected.
Objective: To evaluate and compare the outcome after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) with the newly released Endurant endograft system in patients with different aortoiliac anatomic characteristics.
Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study assigning patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) treated with the Endurant endoprosthesis from February 2009 to March 2010. Two groups were studied, according to the presence of a friendly (group I [GI] = 43) or hostile (group II [GII] = 34) infrarenal aortoiliac anatomy.
