Background: Successful treatment of tandem lesions of carotid arteries may represent a challenging goal for the vascular specialist. In the "endovascular era," a hybrid approach may represent a viable option.
Case Report: We describe the case of a 65-year-old patient with severe postcarotid endarterectomy recurrent stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) associated with primitive stenosis of the proximal common carotid artery (CCA) treated with retrograde stenting and carotid bypass using the Gore Hybrid Vascular Graft (GHVG).
Conclusions: We demonstrated the effectiveness of the hybrid technique using GHVG in treating carotid tandem lesions involving CCA and ICA.

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair in connective tissue disease patients is not a definitive option.
J Vasc Surg
November 2024
Department of Vascular Surgery, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, OH. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- * The study looked at 40 CTD patients who had TEVAR for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms or aortic dissections between February 2014 and April 2021, revealing most had previous aortic interventions and a significant number faced complications post-surgery.
- * Results showed a high reintervention rate (62.5%), with reinterventions typically occurring within the first year, and indicated ongoing risks for aortic-related issues, highlighting challenges in treating CTD patients
Incidence and predictors of gastrointestinal hemorrhage following mesenteric revascularization.
J Vasc Surg
November 2024
Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. Electronic address:
Objective: Postoperative gastrointestinal hemorrhage (GIH) following mesenteric revascularization when performed either openly (OR) or endovascularly (ER) has been clinically observed but not reported. The aim of the study is to assess the incidence and predictors of GIH in patients undergoing mesenteric revascularization.
Methods: This was a single-center retrospective review of consecutive patients treated with open or endovascular mesenteric revascularization from 2009 to 2019.
Outcomes of guidelines from health technology assessment organizations in community-based primary care: a systematic mixed studies review.
Int J Technol Assess Health Care
November 2024
Department of Family Medicine, McGill University, Montréal, QC, Canada.
Background: Health technology assessment (HTA) organizations generate guidelines to inform healthcare practices toward improved health outcomes. This review sought to identify and classify outcomes of guidelines from HTA organizations within published research.
Methodology: We performed a systematic mixed studies review of empirical studies that (a) referred to a published guideline from an HTA organization and (b) reported an outcome resulting from a guideline.
Practice variation using the hybrid stage I procedure in congenital heart disease: Results from a national survey.
JTCVS Open
October 2024
Division of Pediatric Cardiology, Department of Pediatrics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich.
Article Synopsis
- Hybrid stage I palliation is a procedure used mainly for high-risk patients with single ventricle heart disease, serving various roles such as a starter treatment or a bridge to more complex surgeries or transplants.
- A survey sent to congenital heart centers in the U.S. and Canada revealed that about 45 out of 106 centers perform this type of palliation, with a majority using pulmonary artery bands and ductal stents for management.
- There is significant variation in the practices and indications for hybrid stage I palliation among centers, highlighting the need for multicenter studies to establish standardized protocols and improve patient outcomes.
Intraoperative position system guided with augmented reality improves the learning curve of endovascular navigation in endovascular-naïve operators.

McGovern Medical School, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Houston, TX. Electronic address:
Objective: This study aimed to compare the completion of gate cannulation task performed by participants of varying experience using fluoroscopy, the Intraoperative Positioning System (IOPS)-a United States Food and Drug Administration-cleared endovascular navigation system that has been developed to reduce dependence on fluoroscopy-or an investigational augmented reality electromagnetic navigation technology based on IOPS.
Methods: The task consisted in the cannulation of the gate of a GORE Excluder AAA endoprosthesis bifurcated aortic stent graft (W.L.
