Midterm Results After Abandoning Routine Preemptive Coil Embolization of the Internal Iliac Artery During Endovascular Aneurysm Repair.

Purpose: To analyze the results of endovascular repair of common iliac artery (CIA) aneurysms without preemptive coil embolization of the internal iliac artery (IIA).

Materials And Methods: Between January 2010 and July 2016, 79 patients (mean age 74.3±8.

Overstenting the hypogastric artery during endovascular aneurysm repair with and without prior coil embolization: A comparative analysis from the ENGAGE Registry.

Background: Endovascular aneurysm repair of aortoiliac or iliac aneurysms is often performed with stent graft coverage of the origin of the hypogastric artery (HA) to ensure adequate distal seal. It is considered common practice to perform adjunctive coiling of the HA to prevent a type II endoleak. Our objective was to question the necessity of pre-emptive coiling by comparing the outcomes of HA coverage with and without prior coil embolization.

Symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: to wait or not to wait.

Background: In patients with a symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm (sAAA), acute intervention theoretically reduces rupture risk prior to surgery whereas delayed intervention provides surgery under optimised conditions. In the present study we evaluated differences in 30-day mortality in patients with a sAAA operated within 12 hours compared to patients who received treatment after 12 hours and who were optimized for surgery.

Methods: All patients with a sAAA who were treated within one week after presentation were included in the analyses.

A 15-Year Single-Center Experience of Endovascular Repair for Elective and Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms.

Purpose: To evaluate the differences in technical outcomes and secondary interventions between elective endovascular aneurysm repair (el-EVAR) procedures and those for ruptured aneurysms (r-EVAR).

Methods: Of the 906 patients treated with primary EVAR from September 1998 until July 2012, 43 cases were excluded owing to the use of first-generation stent-grafts. Among the remaining 863 patients, 773 (89.

Effects of Anesthesia Type on Perioperative Outcome After Endovascular Aneurysm Repair.

Purpose: To examine outcomes of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) using general, regional, or local anesthesia.

Methods: From March 2009 to April 2011, patients were enrolled from 79 sites in 30 countries worldwide and treated with an Endurant Stent Graft System. Data were compared among 3 groups based on the method of anesthesia: general anesthesia (GA) was used in 785 (62%) patients, regional anesthesia (RA) in 331 (27%) patients, and local anesthesia (LA) in 145 (11%) patients.
