Article Synopsis
- EVAR (Endovascular Aortic Repair) is shown to have better short-term outcomes than traditional Open repair for treating unruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms in a Peruvian cohort, with lower mortality rates and shorter hospital stays.
- In the study of 251 patients, the majority had UIAAA diameters over 65 mm, with key risk factors including diabetes and prior abdominal surgery.
- Long-term results indicated that while Open repair had lower mortality rates, EVAR patients experienced higher rates of aneurysmal rupture and reinterventions, highlighting complexities in choosing the appropriate treatment method.
Mature fetiform teratoma, or homunculus, is a term coined for a rare variant of teratoma with a prevalence of 0.01% of teratomas. There have been very few cases reported in the world, and its thoracic presentation is extremely unusual.

The objective of this study was to identify the arteriographic patterns of PAD in the lower limbs according to cardiovascular factors in a Peruvian cohort of patients.
Methods: This is an analytical, observational, and retrospective study.
The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is the relationship between the systolic blood pressure taken at the ankle level and the brachial artery. A pathological ABI (<0.90 or >1.
