Objective: The LEOPARD (Looking at EVAR Outcomes by Primary Analysis of Randomized Data) trial is a randomized controlled trial comparing the outcomes of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) using commercially available devices in a real-world population.

Methods: A prospective, randomized, multi-center trial was performed to compare the anatomically fixated (AF) AFX/AFX2 endograft system (Endologix) with endografts with proximal fixation (PF) (Cook Medical Zenith Flex; Gore Excluder; and Medtronic Endurant II) in patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. The primary endpoint was freedom from aneurysm-related complications (ARCs), a composite endpoint consisting of perioperative death (≤30 days), aneurysm rupture, conversion to open surgical repair, postoperative endoleaks, endograft migration (≥10 mm), aneurysm enlargement (≥5 mm), endograft limb occlusion, and device- or aneurysm-related reintervention.

Reports of waterskiing-related injuries are limited in the medical literature. The authors report a case of a unique waterskiing injury that progressed into a necrotizing foot infection in a well-controlled insulin-dependent diabetic. This case shows that with aggressive therapy, including hyperbaric oxygen treatments and use of a wound vacuum-assisted closure system, limbs can be saved.
