Large mediastinal lipomas are rare. Complete surgical resection can be difficult due to the intricate anatomy in the mediastinum. We report the case of a 75-year-old man with worsened retrosternal pressure, decline in performance and syncope episodes.

- - This study evaluated the 3-year outcomes of the NEXUS® Aortic Arch Stent Graft System in high-risk patients undergoing endovascular aortic arch stent grafting, focusing on overall survival and complications.
- - A total of 28 patients were analyzed, with 1- and 3-year survival rates of 89% and 71%, and a low incidence of serious complications like stroke or paraplegia reported during follow-ups.
- - The findings suggest that the Nexus system shows promising results in terms of safety and effectiveness for aortic arch interventions in high-risk patients over a three-year period.
Background: Hybrid treatments (HT) aim to reduce conventional open surgery invasiveness and address multilevel peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Herein, the simultaneous HT treatment in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is reported.
Methods: Retrospective analysis, for the period from May 2012 to April 2018, of patients presenting multilevel PAD with CLTI addressed with simultaneous HT.
Objective: To assess the initial clinical experience with a novel endograft system (NEXUS Aortic Arch Stent Graft System) designed to treat aortic arch pathologies and address the morphology and hemodynamic challenges of the aortic arch.
Summary Background Data: The aortic arch remains the most challenging part of the aorta for both open and endovascular repair. Transcatheter aortic arch repair has the potential to significantly reduce surgical risks.
