Increasing efficacy of endovascular recanalization with covered stent graft for TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus II D aortoiliac complex occlusion.

Objective: We compared the outcomes and the durability of endovascular recanalization (EVR) with the Viabahn (W. L. Gore and Associates, Flagstaff, Ariz) covered stent graft vs traditional aortobifemoral or aortofemoral bypass grafting for complex aortoiliac occlusions.

An Artificial Neural Network Stratifies the Risks of Reintervention and Mortality after Endovascular Aneurysm Repair; a Retrospective Observational study.

Background: Lifelong surveillance after endovascular repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is considered mandatory to detect potentially life-threatening endograft complications. A minority of patients require reintervention but cannot be predictively identified by existing methods. This study aimed to improve the prediction of endograft complications and mortality, through the application of machine-learning techniques.
