The number of patients undergoing surgery on the thoracic and thoraco-abdominal aorta has been steadily increasing over the past decade. This document aims to give guidance to authors reporting on results in aortic surgery by clarifying definitions of aortic pathologies, open and endovascular techniques and by listing clinical parameters that should be provided for full presentation of patients' clinical profile and in particular, their outcome. The aim is to help find a common language in the treatment of aortic disease and to contribute to a better understanding of this patient population.

Transradial Lower Limb Arteriography of the Type Ⅲ Aortic Arch: A Reverse Technique.
Cureus
February 2025
Cardiology, Akita Cerebrospinal and Cardiovascular Center, Akita, JPN.
Percutaneous coronary intervention is generally performed using the radial artery approach, and in recent years, the radial artery approach has also been used more and more for endovascular treatment. Given this trend, the radial artery approach is also preferable for lower limb angiography when considering patient burden. However, in the case of type III aortic arch morphology, it can be difficult to advance the catheter into the descending aorta using the radial artery approach.

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, Netherlands.
Objectives: This study evaluates a staged selective hybrid approach for acute type A aortic dissection. The approach involves a zone 2 aortic arch replacement with debranching of the brachiocephalic trunk and left common carotid artery to create a landing zone for thoracic endovascular aortic repair. This repair is performed either preemptively in the subacute phase to promote remodelling or electively in the chronic phase to manage aneurysm formation.

Department of Neurology, Dell Medical School, The University of Texas at Austin.
Importance: Tenecteplase is an alternative to alteplase for emergency treatment of acute ischemic stroke. However, limited data are available comparing their clinical effectiveness in routine clinical practice.
Objective: To compare short-term effectiveness and safety outcomes for patients with ischemic stroke treated with intravenous tenecteplase vs alteplase.

Background: Acute Stanford type A aortic dissection is a severe emergency condition that, if left untreated, is associated with a high mortality rate. The extent of surgical repair may impact the outcomes of these patients.
Method: Patients operated for acute type A aortic dissection from a multicentre European registry were included.
