Trends (2020-2022) toward Reduced Prevalence of Postcoronavirus Disease Syndrome and Improved Quality of Life for Hospitalized Coronavirus Disease 2019 Patients with Severe Infection and Venous Thromboembolism.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic seems to be at its end. During the first outbreak, alfa was the dominant variant, and in the two following years, delta was the dominant variant. Questions remain about the prevalence and severity of post-COVID syndrome (PCS).

Heterogeneous Characteristics of Patients with Inflammatory Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Systematic Review of Therapeutic Solutions.

Background: Endovascular repair of inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms (IAAAs) has emerged as an alternative to open surgery, but direct comparisons are limited. The aim of the study was to compare clinical outcomes of endovascular and open repair for IAAA according with specific clinical characteristics.

Methods: We performed a literature review of reports describing patients who had open or endovascular repair for IAAA.

Prevalence and Complications of Aberrant Subclavian Artery in Patients With Heritable and Nonheritable Arteriopathies.

Background: An aberrant subclavian artery (ASA) (or lusoria) is the most common congenital anomaly of the aortic arch (0.5%-2.2%; female-to-male ratio 2:1 to 3:1).

Sudden Rupture of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in COVID19 Patients.

Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to report the clinical outcomes of 4 patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) during (3 patients) or immediately after (1 patient) moderate-severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. We discuss COVID-19-related mechanisms which could impact AAA rupture.

Patients And Methods: During the period of the pandemic (March 2020-May 2021), we performed surgery in 18 patients with ruptured AAA.

Reduced Vascular Practice and Increased Cardiovascular Mortality for COVID-19-Negative Patients.

Background: The aim of our study was to compare COVID-19- and not-COVID-19-related mortality rates in two Italian regions during the pandemic period when the same isolation rules and therapeutic approaches were introduced for all hospitals in Italy. Risk factors for not-COVID-19-related deaths during the pandemic were analyzed; we tried to assess a possible correlation between reducing hospital visits and "deferrable" vascular operations and the increased cardiovascular mortality not related to COVID-19 infection.

Methods: We analyzed COVID-19- and not-COVID-19-related mortality rates in two Italian regions in the period January 2020-January 2021.

Intraoperative Cerebral Monitoring During Carotid Surgery: A Narrative Review.

Background: Intra-operative neurological monitoring (IONM) during carotid endarterectomy (CEA) aims to reduce neurological morbidity of surgery.

Objective: This narrative review analyses the role and results of different methods of IONM.

Methods: review articles on PUBMED and Cochrane Library, by searching key words related to IONM and CEA, from 2000 up to date.

A simple prognostic score for COVID-19 hospitalized patients developing deep vein thrombosis.

Objective: The aim of our study was to analyze the specificity, accuracy and sensitivity of a simple, easy to calculate, prognostic score for hospitalized COVID19 patients developing deep vein thrombosis.

Methods: From March 1st to April 28th, 942 COVID-19 patients with severe symptoms were admitted to the hospital San Matteo of Pavia-Italy. Thirty two patients (3.
