Article Synopsis
- This study examines the long-term effects of elective Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) on the common iliac arteries (CIAs) using various modern aortic endografts in a cohort of 168 patients.* -
- Over a 5-year follow-up, significant increases in the diameter (11.7% at 24 months, 22.8% at 60 months) and length of CIAs were observed, indicating a concerning progression of aneurysmal disease.* -
- The research found that increased CIA dilatation significantly predicted long-term EVAR failures, highlighting the need for comprehensive follow-up to ensure ongoing effectiveness of the procedure.*
Background: Primary varicose veins (PVV) represent the most prominent clinical manifestation of chronic venous disease (CVD) and has a complex pathophysiological background. The aim of our study was to investigate the impact of sonographic hemodynamical and contemporary epidemiological factors on the clinical severity of PVV.
Methods: We analyzed the sonographic hemodynamical and clinical parameters from 159 consecutive CVD patients and 233 lower limbs with PVV of clinical stages C2, C3 and C4.
