Predictors of Five-Year Survival after EVAR: 10-Year Experience of Single-Center Cohort Study.

Background: Endovascular abdominal aortic repair (EVAR) is the main therapeutic option for repairing abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). We aimed to determine the long-term outcomes of patients who underwent EVAR at our center.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, patients who underwent EVAR for intact isolated AAA at Tehran Heart Center between 2007 and 2017 were included.

Evaluation of the quality of clinical guidelines for prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism in urological surgeries by the AGREE II review instrument.

Background And Aims: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the most common cause of death during the first 30 days after surgery. There is not any study which critically evaluated clinical guidelines related to VTE prophylaxis in urological surgeries. Therefore, in this study, we decided to evaluate related clinical guidelines using the AGREE II instrument to take a positive step towards improving the care of these patients.
