A 43-day-old boy presented with bacteremia after umbilical artery catheterization. Duplex ultrasound examination revealed a 1.1- × 1.6-cm mycotic infrarenal aortic aneurysm and an incidental asymptomatic occluded right common iliac artery. Resection and repair were completed by creating an everted, double-layered internal jugular vein patch. Screening ultrasound examination 10 months postoperatively demonstrated successful repair.

: To study the influence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and metformin treatment on aneurysm sac remodeling after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). : A retrospective single-center cohort analysis was conducted on consecutive patients who underwent elective EVAR for an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) between January 2011 and December 2021. Differences between study groups were analyzed and Kaplan-Meier analysis were employed to describe overall and reintervention-free survival.

: The parallel stent graft endovascular aortic repair (PGEVAR) technique is an off-the-shelf option used for elective complex abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with acceptable outcome results, as reported so far. The PGEVAR technique, using chimney or periscope parallel grafts, can also be used for patients with ruptured complex abdominal aortic aneurysms. However, only few data about the mid- to long-term outcomes are available.

The objective of this study was to assess the course of rehabilitation of patients hospitalized in the cardiac rehabilitation unit after surgery for acute Stanford type A aortic dissection, extending beyond the ascending aorta, and comparing these findings with those for patients who, after the same type of surgery, had no remaining dissection. The aim was to develop an optimal cardiac rehabilitation model for this patient population, given the lack of clear guidelines. Additionally, the study aimed to evaluate their one-year survival.

Few clinical studies have reported on physician-modified inner-branched endovascular repair (PMiBEVAR) for aortic arch aneurysm. Herein, we evaluate the outcomes of proximal landing zone 2 PMiBEVAR. This retrospective study analyzed data from six patients who underwent zone 2 PMiBEVAR for aortic arch aneurysms at a single center between October 2021 and June 2024.

Endovascular stent graft repair was developed to minimize the invasiveness of open surgery for thoracic and abdominal aortic diseases. This approach involves covering the diseased segment with a stented artificial graft. However, in thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for aortic arch diseases, special consideration is needed to preserve the aortic arch vessels.
