Embolization of persistent type 2 endoleaks after endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms: a study of long-term success.

Endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (EVAR) has been shown to be effective, with lower perioperative mortality and morbidity than open surgical treatment in patients with compatible anatomy. This benefit is lost after three years of follow-up. This could be explained by the higher rate of reintervention in EVAR patients due to endoleaks.

Retrospective Cohort Study on EVAR Open Surgical Conversion: Focus on Endoleaks With Wrong Preoperative Categorization.

Background: Late open conversion (LOC) following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a rare complication with a high morbidity and mortality and is often proposed as the last line of treatment after failure of endovascular reintervention of any type. This study aimed to highlights the limitations of EVAR follow-up imaging in characterizing endoleaks, which may contribute to the failure of endovascular reinterventions and lead to LOC.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study recruited all EVAR implanted in Amiens University Hospital (France) between January 2008 and December 2022.

Contemporary Minimally Invasive Surgery for TASC-D Aorto-Iliac Lesions: Analysis of Outcomes and Risk Factors for Primary and Secondary Patency.

Background: For complex extensive TASC-II D lesions, the standard of care remains conventional surgery. Nevertheless, guidelines tend to broaden endovascular surgery indications in expert centers for patients at high surgical risk with TASC-II D lesions. Due to the increasing use of endovascular surgery in this setting, we planned to evaluate the patency rate of this approach.
