Article Abstract
Objective: To assess the effect of human atrial natriuretic peptide (HANP) on the pulmonary and systemic circulations during infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy.
Design: A prospective, randomized study.
Setting: A university hospital.
Participants: Forty-five patients undergoing infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy.
Interventions: Abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy patients were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups (n = 15 for each group). They were infused with normal saline solution (SA), 0.02 microg/kg/min of HANP (LH), or 0.05 microg/kg/min of HANP (HH), starting 5 minutes after clamping. Hemodynamic variables were measured before/after clamping and unclamping.
Measurements And Main Results: Both mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP) and the pulmonary vascular resistance index (PVRI) increased (v baseline) in the SA group. HANP attenuated the rises in MPAP and PVRI dose dependently (LH and HH groups v SA). Mean arterial pressure and systemic vascular resistance index were not significantly different among the 3 groups.
Conclusion: HANP, infused during aortic clamping and abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy, attenuates the rises in pulmonary artery pressure and vascular resistance without severe systemic hypotension. This may result from direct and/or indirect pulmonary vascular effects of HANP because no HANP-induced changes in endothelin-1, angiotensin-II, and thromboxane B(2) were detected.

Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is an anterior surgical approach for interbody fusion in the lumbar spine which affords the surgeon unfettered access to the disc space and allows for release of the anterior longitudinal ligament and insertion of a large, lordotic interbody graft. Despite the benefits associated with ALIF when compared with other lumbar interbody fusion techniques, the ALIF approach is associated with a number of unique complications, and certain patient-specific criteria (e.g.

Introduction: Compared to aortic dissection and isolated visceral artery dissection, multiple peripheral arterial dissections have not been formally reported to date. Currently, there is no well-established treatment for this condition, and large-scale studies with extensive sample data are lacking.
Case Presentation: A 56-year-old male, was provisionally diagnosed with " idiopathic multiple peripheral arterial dissections.

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is characterized by the proteolytic breakdown of the extracellular matrix, leading to dilatation of the aorta and increased risk of rupture. Biomarkers that can predict major adverse aortic events (MAAEs) are needed to risk stratify patients for more rigorous medical treatment and potential earlier surgical intervention.
Objectives: The primary objective was to identify the association between baseline levels of these biomarkers and MAAEs over a period of 5 years.

Aorto-duodenal fistula (ADF) is a rare clinical condition characterized by abnormal communication between the 3rd or 4th portion of the duodenum and the aorta, typically associated with aneurysmal disease. The incidence of ADF is expected to increase, however, there remains a lack of consensus on the optimal approach for intestinal restoration. In this study, we present three cases of ADF and their respective treatments using three distinct surgical techniques.

Background: The longitudinal effects of educational interventions in people with abdominal aortic aneurysm are largely unexplored. This prospective study investigated whether the anxiety-lowering effect of an eHealth intervention observed at the 1-month follow-up is maintained 1 year after abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery.
Methods: Those scheduled for surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm were recruited in a single-centre randomized clinical trial.
