Background: Endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair (EVAR) offers a less invasive approach to treating abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) compared to open repair. However, EVAR is associated with higher rates of reintervention. This study investigates the early and mid-term outcomes of patients who underwent late open conversion including aneurysmorrhaphy after EVAR at our institution.

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a chronic degenerative disease with a complex pathophysiological mechanism. Increasing evidence suggests that the NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3)-mediated pyroptosis of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) plays a crucial role in the pathological progression of IVDD. Pyroptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death characterized by the formation of plasma membrane pores by gasdermin family proteins, leading to cell swelling, membrane rupture, and the release of inflammatory cytokines, which trigger an inflammatory response.

Objective: There is a paucity of data on sex-based differences in outcomes after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) performed for Stanford type B aortic dissections (TBAD). Examining the predictive role of sex could shape future clinical guidelines for TEVAR. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the association between sex and postoperative outcomes after TEVAR performed for TBAD.
