Nutcracker syndrome (a Delphi consensus).

Background: Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) describes the symptomatic compression of the left renal vein between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery. Whereas asymptomatic compression is a common radiological finding, patients with NCS can report a range of symptoms. There are no specific diagnostic criteria and interventions include a range of open surgical and endovascular procedures.

Influence of Home Location on Follow-Up Compliance after Endovascular Treatment for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.

Background: The complications of EVAR require compliance to a close follow-up imaging. The purpose of this study was to determine whether home location predicted a poor compliance to imaging follow-up after EVAR.

Methods: We analyzed a cohort of patients treated by EVAR at the Besançon University Hospital between 2007 and 2017.

Obturator Bypass Remains a Useful Option.

Background: The femoral tripod remains technically crucial in vascular surgery, as well for an elective revascularization as for an extensive approach to the arterial tree. The management of septic complications and healing disorders in this area is really challenging. Obturator bypass (OB) represents an alternative sometimes employed in this context, but few recent series were recently published.

Snuff-Box Versus Wrist Radiocephalic Arteriovenous Fistulas for Hemodialysis: Maturation Tend and its Affecting Factors.

Background: Thanks to its well proved long-term patency rates, native radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula remains the most commonly used vascular access type. Many articles had approached the criteria leading to a mature fistula. The aims of this work are to evaluate variables that may affect the maturation of distal fistulas and to determine if wrist fistulas have less risk of maturation failure than the snuff-box fistulas.
