Five-Year Outcomes of the SuperB Trial: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Heparin-Bonded Endograft to Surgical Femoropopliteal Bypass.

Objective: This study aims to compare the 5-year outcomes of endoluminal bypass (EB) using heparin-bonded self-expanding covered stents versus bypass surgery for extensive femoropopliteal disease, including technical and clinical outcomes and health status.

Background: The surgical femoropopliteal bypass was the gold standard to treat peripheral arterial disease (PAD) for decades; however, endovascular treatment modalities are now recommended for most femoropopliteal lesions. One-year data of a randomized controlled trial comparing EB with surgical bypass (SB) have shown a faster recovery, less morbidity, and comparable patency rates between the two techniques.

Long-Term Outcome for Covered Endovascular Reconstruction of Aortic Bifurcation for Aortoiliac Disease: A Single-Center Experience.

Purpose: The gold standard for the treatment of complex (TASC II C and D) atherosclerotic aortoiliac lesions is still open surgical repair. Endovascular techniques have a lower mortality and morbidity rate but this comes at the cost of worse patency rates when compared with open repair. Improved short- and mid-term results have been reported using the covered endovascular reconstruction of aortic bifurcation (CERAB) technique.

Up to 10-year follow-up after EVAR with the Endurant stent graft system: a single-center experience.

Background: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become the preferred treatment for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) over open surgical repair. The Endurant stent graft is widely used, and large registries report low rates of aneurysm-related mortality and reinterventions at midterm follow-up. Reports of long-term follow-up are limited.

Editor's Choice - Nationwide Analysis of Patients Undergoing Iliac Artery Aneurysm Repair in the Netherlands.

Objective: The new 2019 guideline of the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) recommends consideration for elective iliac artery aneurysm (eIAA) repair when the iliac diameter exceeds 3.5 cm, as opposed to 3.0 cm previously.

Randomized clinical trial of endovenous laser ablation versus direct and indirect radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of great saphenous varicose veins.

Background: The current treatment strategy for many patients with varicose veins is endovenous thermal ablation. The most common forms of this are endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA). However, at present there is no clear consensus on which of these treatments is superior.
