Article Synopsis
  • A study evaluated how the inner vessel diameter and vertical distance between renal arteries affect renal artery instability and complications in patients undergoing fenestrated endovascular aortic repair.
  • The research included data from 260 patients across six hospitals, analyzing outcomes and categorizing them based on measurements of their vessel characteristics.
  • Results showed a high technical success rate and low mortality, with factors like a smaller inner vessel diameter linked to higher risks of certain complications, particularly renal artery stenosis or occlusion.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relative risks and advantages of using external jugular vein (EJV) patch, compared with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) patch, during carotid endarterectomy. The primary end point was the relevant neurologic complication rate (RNCR; fatal or disabling stroke) at any time during follow-up. Secondary end points included stroke-free survival, 30-day and long-term mortality, recurrent stenosis rate (> or =50%), occlusion, patch infection, aneurysm formation, and other local complications.
