Prevalence of Aortoiliac Aneurysms in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients Using the National Inpatient Sample Database.

Objective: Single-center studies have suggested that solid organ transplant recipients are at increased risk for arterial aneurysms. Moreover, they describe a more aggressive natural history with increased rates of expansion and rupture. In this exploratory analysis, we aim to assess the frequency of arterial aneurysms in solid organ transplant recipients using a large-scale national database.

Blood flow assessment technology in aortic surgery: a narrative review.

Background And Objective: Blood flow assessment is an emerging technique that allows for assessment of hemodynamics in the heart and blood vessels. Recent advances in cardiovascular imaging technologies have made it possible for this technique to be more accessible to clinicians and researchers. Blood flow assessment typically refers to two techniques: measurement-based flow visualization using echocardiography or four-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging (4D flow MRI), and computer-based flow simulation based on computational fluid dynamics modeling.

Late Type 1A Endoleaks: Associated Factors, Prognosis and Management Strategies.

Background: Unlike periprocedural Type 1A endoleaks, late appearing proximal endoleaks have been poorly described.

Methods: We studied all elective EVAR from 2010 -2018 in a single institution. Late endoleaks were defined as those appearing after 1 year.
