Background: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an intervention to improve health and quality of life in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The use of digital technology for healthcare promotion, such as telemedicine, has received growing attention in recent years due to the possibility of offering remote and individualized cardiac rehabilitation to patients undergoing coronary interventions. However, the impact of cardiac telerehabilitation on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is not fully understood.

Background: The risk of limb graft occlusion (LGO) after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is increased by severe tortuosity of the iliac artery. A bare metal stent (BMS) may protect LGO, according to the hypothesis of this single-center retrospective analysis.
Methods: All patients undergoing elective EVAR with a bifurcated stent graft between January 2012 and June 2022 were included in this cohort study.
