The conventional elective open procedures for abdominal aortic aneurysm repair are reliable and yield durable results. The aortoaortic tube graft has the lowest morbidity incidence when compared with different techniques. Albeit infrequent, thrombosis can be present in the first 30 days. Its treatment consists in thrombectomy and anastomosis evaluation, but with an increase in morbidity, especially in patients with urgent reintervention. This is a case report of a patient with aortoaortic tube graft, who present critical left limb ischemia immediately after surgical procedure. Angiography showed complete occlusion of left common iliac artery, affecting the distal graft anastomosis. The occlusion was resolved with endovascular treatment, and a noncovered, self-expanding, nitinol stent was deployed (primary stenting) covering the distal bypass anastomosis, with no complications and complete lower limb perfusion recovery. One month later, the patient was still asymptomatic, with distal pulse palpable and ankle-brachial index 1.

Objective: Analysis of gender-specific differences in short- and long-term outcome after elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (OAR) regarding the distal anastomosis.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, data from 4853 patients of a German health insurance company undergoing OAR for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) between 2010 and 2016 were analysed. The patients were followed through 2018.

Background: To describe the outcomes of aortic endograft thrombosis (AET) as an indication for open conversion (OC) after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) in a multicenter experience.
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed cases of OC for AET following EVAR across 12 Italian Vascular Surgery centers from 1997 to September 2022. The end points were as follows: 30-day mortality and major postoperative complications.

Objective: Primary aorto-enteral fistula (PAEF) is a connection between the gastrointestinal tract and the aorta that occurs without previous aortic surgery. The aetiological factors include, but are not limited to, aneurysm, infection, and tumours. It is a life threatening condition if untreated and requires emergency vascular surgical repair.

Objective: Much attention has been given to the influence of anatomic and technical factors, such as maximum abdominal aortic aneurysm diameter and proximal clamp position, in open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (OSR). However, no studies have rigorously examined the correlation between site of distal anastomosis and OSR outcomes despite conventional wisdom that more proximal sites of anastomosis are preferrable when technically feasible. This study aimed to test the association between sites of distal anastomosis and clinical outcomes for patients undergoing primary elective OSR.

Introduction: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in neonates, infants, and children is uncommon, usually occurring as a result of infections, connective tissue disorders, vasculitis, or iatrogenic trauma. A case of idiopathic congenital AAA, an extremely rare disease of unknown origin, is described.
Report: In March 2018, a 40 mm hypoechoic mass adjacent to the left kidney was detected incidentally by abdominal ultrasound for investigation of hypercalciuria in a four year old girl.
