Purpose: The primary aim of this study was to assess the 3-dimensional flare geometry of the Gore Viabahn VBX balloon-expandable covered stent (BECS) after fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR) and to determine and visualize BECS-associated complications.
Methods: This multicenter retrospective study included patients who underwent FEVAR between 2018 and 2022 in 3 vascular centers participating in the VBX Expand Registry. Patients with at least one visceral artery treated with the VBX and with availability of 2 post-FEVAR computed tomography angiography (CTA) scans (follow-up [FU] 1: 0-6 months; FU2: 9-24 months) were included.

Article Synopsis
- * The study analyzed 458 patients from January to October 2022 across five centers, finding that VCs occurred in 6.5% of patients, with no significant differences between the USG (7.3%) and FG (5.4%) groups.
- * Results indicated that both USG and FG access management techniques did not influence the rate of VCs, implying low rates of complications overall
We report a multicenter experience of open conversions (OC) for aortic endograft infections (AEI). We retrospectively analyzed all patients who underwent OC for AEI after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), from 1997 to 2021 in 12 Italian centers. The endpoints were as follows: mortality (30-days, in-hospital), major postoperative complications.

Methods: This is a retrospective, financially unsupported, physician-initiated observational cohort study. Patients with iliac artery involvement treated with EVAR between January 1st, 2014 and December 31st, 2021 were identified.
