AI Article Synopsis
- Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are significant causes of health complications and deaths.
- The transfemoral endoluminal stent-graft method, introduced in 1991, provides a minimally invasive way to treat AAAs.
- While this technique has shown to be safe and effective in the short- to mid-term, there is still ongoing research needed to understand its long-term effectiveness.
Article Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) continue to be a major source of morbidity and mortality. The transfemoral placement of endoluminal stent-grafts for the treatment of AAAs, first described in 1991, offers a minimally invasive technique for the treatment of AAAs. The technology of endovascular repair of AAAs has progressed rapidly and the approach has proven to be safe and effective in the short- to mid-term. The spectrum of patients who are candidates for endovascular repair and the devices available continue to expand. However, endovascular repair of AAAs remains a relatively novel technique, and there is still much to be learned about its long-term durability.

Background: Thoracic aortic endovascular repair (TEVAR) is the most commonly employed method for treating type B aortic dissection (TBAD). One of the primary challenges in TEVAR is the reconstruction of the left subclavian artery (LSA). Various revascularization strategies have been utilized, including branch stent techniques, fenestration techniques, chimney techniques, and hybrid techniques.

Introduction: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVF) are abnormal anastomoses between meningeal arteries and dural venous sinuses. Typically, dAVF treatment involves an endovascular or microsurgical approach. Anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) dAVFs pose unique challenges due to their anatomy and location.

: To study the influence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and metformin treatment on aneurysm sac remodeling after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). : A retrospective single-center cohort analysis was conducted on consecutive patients who underwent elective EVAR for an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) between January 2011 and December 2021. Differences between study groups were analyzed and Kaplan-Meier analysis were employed to describe overall and reintervention-free survival.

: The parallel stent graft endovascular aortic repair (PGEVAR) technique is an off-the-shelf option used for elective complex abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with acceptable outcome results, as reported so far. The PGEVAR technique, using chimney or periscope parallel grafts, can also be used for patients with ruptured complex abdominal aortic aneurysms. However, only few data about the mid- to long-term outcomes are available.
