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 standard endovascular graft (instructions for use) was anatomically feasible.
Objective: The aim of this study was compare elective surgical repair of popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs) via a posterior approach vs. endovascular exclusion, analysing early and five year outcomes in a multicentre retrospective study.
Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2023, a retrospectively maintained dataset of all consecutive asymptomatic PAAs that underwent open repair with posterior approach or endovascular repair in 37 centres was investigated.
Background: To describe the outcomes of aortic endograft thrombosis (AET) as an indication for open conversion (OC) after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) in a multicenter experience.
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed cases of OC for AET following EVAR across 12 Italian Vascular Surgery centers from 1997 to September 2022. The end points were as follows: 30-day mortality and major postoperative complications.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and outcomes of thoracic endovascular repair (TEVAR) using an antegrade approach for treating thoracic aortic diseases.
- Researchers analyzed data from 14 patients who underwent TEVAR over an 11-year period, noting a mix of urgent and elective procedures, and found that technical success was achieved in all cases.
- While the immediate procedures were generally successful, there were notable instances of early and late mortality, with a significant number of patients requiring reinterventions due to complications like type I endoleak.
