Multimodal imaging is the incorporation of two or more imaging modalities during the same examination, and it has both diagnostic and treatment applications. The use of image fusion for intraoperative guidance in endovascular interventions is being extended increasingly to the field of vascular surgery, especially in the context of hybrid operating rooms. The aim of this work was to perform a review and narrative synthesis of the available literature in order to report on current applications of multimodal imaging in diagnosis and treatment of emergent vascular conditions.

- The study evaluated the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) stages post-fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR) in patients with complex aortic aneurysms, using the RIFLE criteria to classify AKI severity.
- It included 45 patients, primarily elderly males, and found a 11.1% incidence of post-operative injury stage AKI, while examining predictors of AKI and long-term renal function decline.
- Key predictors of chronic kidney disease onset identified were older age and post-operative injury stage AKI, though some factors showed significance only in univariate analysis and not in multivariate models.
Purpose: To highlight the importance of 3-dimensional (3D) arterial printing in a case of type II endoleak (EL) embolization.
Case Report: An 81-year-old patient, previously treated with endovascular aortic repair (EVAR), developed a type II EL requiring treatment. The EL's main origin was the median sacral artery (MSA).
