Sex-Related Outcomes in Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy.

Introduction: This study aims to retrospectively analyze the perioperative and long-term outcomes of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) performed in asymptomatic patients, stratifying the results by sex.

Methods: Data on CEAs performed from January 2009 to December 2020 at our institution were collected. A neurologic evaluation was conducted 30 d after surgery to assess the occurrence of neurological events.

Feasibility and Safety of Using Carbon Dioxide Exclusively in Regular Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair: Results of a Multicentre, Prospective, Zero Iodine Contrast Endovascular Aneurysm Repair Study.

Objective: Carbon dioxide (CO) angiography has emerged as a viable alternative to regular iodinated contrast medium (ICM) for guiding endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) procedures. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a standardised EVAR procedure using only CO angiography.

Methods: A prospective, multicentre, national study enrolled consecutive patients between January 2023 and January 2024 with asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms measuring ≥ 55 mm and for whom a standard endovascular graft (instructions for use) was anatomically feasible.

Free-Cell Area Impact on Stroke Prevention in Asymptomatic Patients Undergoing Carotid Artery Stenting: The "Carotid Artery sTenting And CeLl-area Impact on Stroke and Major Adverse events" (CATACLISMA) Multicenter Registry.

Purpose: The study investigated the association between cell-stent area and cerebrovascular events incidence in asymptomatic patients undergoing carotid artery stenting (CAS).

Materials And Methods: This is an observational, retrospective, multicenter, cohort study. Between 2012 and 2022, all patients undergoing primary CAS for severe asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis were evaluated.

An analysis of early and long-term gender-related outcomes after thoracic endovascular aortic repair.

Objectives: To evaluate gender-related outcomes during endovascular treatment of thoracic and thoraco-abdominal aortic diseases (TEVAR).

Methods: Multicentre, retrospective, observational cohort study. All TEVARs between January 2005 and April 2023 were identified.

Preliminary experience of the isolate left subclavian artery in-situ fenestration during 'zone 2' thoracic endovascular aortic repair.

Objectives: To evaluate the results of isolated left subclavian artery in-situ fenestration (ISF) during 'zone 2' thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) using a new adjustable needle puncturing device system.

Methods: It is a multicentre, retrospective, physician-initiated cohort study of patients treated from 28 July 2021 to 3 April 2024. Inclusion criteria were isolate left subclavian artery revascularization for elective or urgent/emergent 'zone 2' TEVAR.
