Female sex is associated with reintervention and mortality following elective endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

Objective: Although sex differences in endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) outcomes have been increasingly reported, the determination of contributing factors has not reached a consensus. We investigated the disparities in sex-specific outcomes after elective EVAR at our institution and evaluated the factors that might predispose women to increased morbidity and mortality.

Methods: We performed a retrospective medical record review of all patients who had undergone elective EVAR from 2011 to 2020 at a suburban tertiary care center.

Prolonged recovery of acute kidney injury following AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy.

AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy, although a successful treatment modality for arterial thrombus removal and recanalization, has been shown to have increased rates of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) compared with other methods of treatment for acute limb ischemia. The postinterventional course of AKI can differ markedly from patient to patient, but typically resolves relatively quickly. Herein, we present a case of AKI secondary to AngioJet intervention that demonstrates an exceedingly prolonged but ultimately recoverable course with conservative management and without the need for renal replacement therapy.
