Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) affords patients the opportunity to undergo a less invasive method of repairing abdominal aortic aneurysms. The EVAR procedure results in a shorter hospital stay, less pain, and less chance of morbidity. This procedure can be performed in a variety of settings (eg, OR, interventional radiology suite, cardiac catheterization laboratory), each of which has its own benefits and challenges. Recently, hybrid ORs have been designed to perform both endovascular and open procedures. AORN has many applicable recommended practices to guide perioperative nurses in the safe provision of care during EVAR procedures.

Division of Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy, Keck Medical Center of University of Southern California. 1520 San Pablo Street HCT 4300, Los Angeles, California, 90033. Electronic address:
Objectives: This study assessed the association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) severity and postoperative mortality among patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and complex endovascular aortic repair (CEVAR).
Methods: A retrospective review of the Vascular Quality Initiative database identified elective TEVAR and CEVAR cases from 2013-2022 with endograft proximal landing zone ≥2 for thoracic or complex abdominal aortic disease. Symptomatic disease, ruptures, and urgent/emergent surgeries were excluded.

Background: Arterial diseases like coronary artery disease, carotid stenosis, peripheral artery disease, and abdominal aortic aneurysm have high morbidity and mortality, making them key research areas. Their multifactorial nature complicates patient treatment and prevention. Biomarkers offer insights into the biochemical and molecular processes, while social factors also significantly impact patients' health and quality of life.

Background: Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI), a subtype of acute mesenteric ischemia, is primarily caused by mesenteric arterial vasoconstriction and decreased vascular resistance, leading to impaired intestinal perfusion.Commonly observed after cardiac surgery, NOMI affects older patients with cardiovascular or systemic diseases, accounting for 20-30% of acute mesenteric ischemia cases with a mortality rate of ∼50%. This review explores NOMI's pathophysiology, clinical implications in aortic dissection, and the unmet needs in diagnosis and management, emphasizing its prognostic significance.

Objectives: Optimal timing for intervention for abdominal aortic aneurysms remains unclear. Given the increased rupture risk with larger aneurysms, timely intervention is critical. This study sought to examine endovascular aortic aneurysm repairs (EVAR) delays across Canadian centers, focusing on potential differences related to geography, sex and race.

Introduction And Importance: Superior mesenteric artery syndrome, or mesenteric root syndrome, is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction. Delay in diagnosis may lead to significant morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients across several age groups.
Case Presentation: We present a 10-year-old female child who has experienced numerous acute abdominal episodes since she was six years old.
