Total Transfemoral Percutaneous Endovascular Aortic Arch Repair Using 3-Vessel Inner Branch Stent-Graft.

Endovascular repair has been introduced to decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with open surgical repair of aortic arch pathology. We illustrate total percutaneous transfemoral approach with a 3-vessel inner branch stent-graft to treat aortic arch aneurysm. ().

Single-Center Experience with the Femoral-to-Brachial Preloaded Delivery System for Fenestrated-Branched Endovascular Repair of Complex Aortic Aneurysms.

Purpose: To assess technical aspects and outcomes of fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) using a femoral-to-brachial (FTB) preloaded delivery system (PDS) with two separate configurations.

Methods: Clinical data of all consecutive patients enrolled in a prospective study to evaluate FB-EVAR for complex abdominal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (CAAAs & TAAA) between 2013 and 2020 were reviewed. Patients treated with FTB-PDS were included.

Evaluation of the effects of mild heat in bovine milk by time resolved fluorescence.

Heat treatment of milk and dairy products are indispensable for the dairy industry. This thermal processing intends to extend shelf life, improve quality of the milk and minimize the health risks associated with milk and dairy products. The use of time-resolved fluorescence techniques to identify conformation and structure changes ok milk fat and proteins could help understand the temperature effects in bovine milk.

First Population-Based Screening of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in Portugal.

Background: The incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repairs in Portugal is one of the lowest mentioned in the literature. This phenomenon can be justified either by a low prevalence of the disease or by its low detection rate. To date, the prevalence of the pathology is unknown.

Complications of Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: Mortality, Myocardial Infarction and Acute Kidney Injury.

Objective: Patients undergoing endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) have comorbidities that increase the risk of death, myocardial infarction (MI) and acute kidney injury (AKI). Our aim was to evaluate the incidence and predictors of mortality, MI and AKI after EVAR and to compare AKI incidence with Vascular Surgery Kidney Injury Predictive Score (VSKIPS).

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of EVAR procedures performed between March 2006 and November 2013.

True Brachial Artery Aneurysm after Arteriovenous Fistula for Hemodialysis - Case Report.

Introduction: Brachial artery aneurysms are relatively uncommon and generally due to infectious, post-traumatic or iatrogenic etiology. They seem to affect 4.5% of arteriovenous fistula.

Endovascular Treatment of Proper Hepatic Artery Aneurysm - Case Report.

Introduction: Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAAs) are rare, representing about 0.1-2% of all arterial aneurysms. They are the second most common splanchnic aneurysms, after splenic artery aneurysms.
