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.

Objectives: To analyze device designs, similarities and overlaps of custom-made fenestrated arch endografts intended for mid/distal arch thoracic endovascular aortic repair.

Materials And Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional study analyzing custom-made anonymized graft plans was performed. Graft plans were included from a cohort of mid/distal aortic arch repairs using custom-made fenestrated aortic endografts treated at 8 centers.

Objective: In this study, we review the reported cases of hydatid disease of the bone in terms of etiology, pathogenesis, and histopathologic, serologic, and radiographic features and management of the disease.

Study Design: The present case study reports an extremely rare occurrence of intraosseous hydatid cysts in the orofacial region, wherein symptoms or signs of systemic hydatid disease were absent. We discuss the challenges encountered during the diagnosis and treatment of osseous hydatidosis and reviewed articles on osseous hydatidosis, including 97 cases.

A novel chemometric strategy was implemented in the development of a new ultraperformance liquid chromatography method for the quantitative estimation of guaifenesin and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride in a two-component syrup formulation with minimal experimental effort, time and reagent. A full factorial design with three factors was investigated to find optimal working conditions of chromatographic factors (column temperature, flow rate, and 0.1 M H3PO4% in mobile phase) that affect the chromatographic separation.

Objective: To determine short and midterm outcomes of a pre-loaded fenestrated thoracic endograft (f-TEVAR) for exclusion of distal aortic arch pathologies.

Methods: This was a multicentre, retrospective study including consecutive patients from six experienced European vascular centres undergoing f-TEVAR for distal arch pathologies. Primary endpoints included peri-operative mortality and peri-operative stroke and/or spinal cord ischaemia rates.

Article Synopsis
  • The ZEPHYR registry aimed to assess the 30-day outcomes of using the Zenith Alpha abdominal stent graft for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) in a multicenter study across Germany, Belgium, and The Netherlands from December 2016 to December 2019.
  • A total of 347 patients were analyzed, mostly elderly with a median age of 73, and exhibited substantial technical (96%) and clinical (98.8%) success rates in the treatment of their AAAs.
  • The study found a 30-day overall treatment success rate of 94.8%, with few complications reported, including 3 patients (0.9%) experiencing limb occlusions and 1 patient (0.

Background: There are few long term studies to show the safety and efficacy of iliac artery aneurysm exclusion, especially in regards to the straight iliac branched device. The objective of our study was to add our data with a mean follow-up of 32 months to the existing data available.

Methods: Patients undergoing iliac bifurcation procedure either as standalone or in combination with abdominal aortic aneurysm exclusion at two vascular centers had data prospectively gathered between 2004 and 2014.

Purpose: To report a rare case of hemangiosarcoma after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).

Case Report: A 50-year-old man with Klinefelter syndrome presented 5 years after EVAR with a mass at the infrarenal aorta outside the stent-graft. Radiomorphologic and clinical signs were misleading because there had been evidence of an inflammatory process for more than a year.
