Post-EVAR Thrombus Density on Late Non-Contrast CT Scans Predicts Successful Aneurysm Exclusion.

Purpose: The incidence of type II endoleaks (ELII) after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) ranges from 10-44%. Aneurysm thrombus density after EVAR could predict successful aneurysm exclusion.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-seven patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) who had a CT scan within the first 45 days (early group) post-surgery or after 7 months (late group) were included.

Early Postoperative Renal Dysfunction Predicts Long-Term Renal Function Degradation after Type IV Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm Surgical Repair.

Background: Type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm surgical repair is often complicated by postoperative acute kidney injury. The aim was to evaluate early renal injury influence on long-term renal function.

Methods: All type IV thoracoabdominal surgical repair performed between January 2000 and January 2014 in our tertiary hospital were included in this retrospective observational study.

Calcified aneurysm of the abdominal aorta 12 years after umbilical artery catheterization.

We report a 12-year-old boy who presented with abdominal pain and who was found to have an aneurysm of the abdominal aorta (AAA). The patient was born from a quadruplet pregnancy induced by in vitro fertilization. Postnatal transient respiratory distress required assisted ventilation that had been monitored by two consecutive umbilical arterial catheters (UAC).
