Purpose: This study investigates the accuracy of fully-automated maximum aortic diameter measurements in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients using artificial intelligence software (PRAEVAorta 2, Nurea, Bordeaux, France).
Materials And Methods: This is a multicenter, retrospective validation study using prospectively collected data from the Zenith alpha for aneurysm Repair Registry (ZEPHYR). Automated measurements of PRAEVAorta 2 are compared with measurements of an internationally recognized core laboratory (Syntactx, New York, New York State).
Article Synopsis
- The ZEPHYR registry evaluated the midterm outcomes of the low profile Zenith Alpha abdominal endovascular graft for treating non-ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms in 347 patients across multiple European sites.
- The study found that treatment success rates were high at 6 months (92.5%), 1 year (90.4%), and 2 years (85.3%), with the main complications being related to limb issues.
- The researchers could not determine any specific factors that independently predicted limb complications, indicating a need for further investigation into these issues.
Objective: Clinical guidelines provide recommendations on the minimal blood vessel diameters required for arteriovenous fistula creation but the evidence for these recommendations is limited. We compared vascular access outcomes of fistulas created in agreement with the ESVS Clinical Practice Guidelines (i.e.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: Although observational cohort studies report that interventions to achieve functionality are clinically successful in 85% of patients, the proportion of newly created autologous arteriovenous fistulas that result in functional vascular access typically is only 70 - 80%. To address this discrepancy, the selection and outcomes of interventions to achieve functionality in a multicentre prospective cohort study were analysed.
Methods: The Shunt Simulation Study enrolled 222 patients who needed a first arteriovenous fistula in nine dialysis units in The Netherlands from 2015 to 2018 and followed these patients until one year after access creation.
Editor's Choice - Endurant Stent Graft in Patients with Challenging Neck Anatomy "One Step Outside Instructions for Use": Early and Midterm Results from the EAGLE Registry.

Objective: The aim of the Endurant for Challenging Anatomy: Global Experience (EAGLE) registry is to evaluate prospectively the technical and clinical success rate of a stentgraft used in patients with challenging neck anatomy outside the instructions for use (IFU) but within objective anatomical limits.
Methods: This was a prospective, international, multicentre, observational study. From 1 February 2012 to 1 September 2017, patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm with a challenging infrarenal neck that were deemed suitable for endovascular aneurysm repair were included prospectively at 23 European centres.
