• Small pulmonary vessel changes are a unique imaging feature of COVID-19 pneumonia. • Autopsy studies reveal a very high incidence of peripheral pulmonary thrombosis. • Risk of thrombosis is high in severe COVID-19 despite anticoagulation. • Mounting evidence suggests immunothrombosis as a contributory cause of thrombosis. • Combined inflammation reduction and anticoagulation seems to be a rational therapeutic protocol.

The effect of edoxaban on apoptosis in an abdominal aortic aneurysm model in rats.
Turk Gogus Kalp Damar Cerrahisi Derg
October 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Medicine, İzmir, Türkiye.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of edoxaban, which is used in venous thrombosis, systemic embolism, and stroke, on an aortic aneurysm model and to demonstrate the pharmacokinetic and molecular effects of edoxaban through the induction of apoptosis.
Methods: In this double-blind experimental study, 21 Wistar albino male rats (mean weight: 290 g; range, 280 to 300 g) were divided into three groups: the sham group (n=7), the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) group (n=7), and the AAA-edoxaban group (n=7). Edoxaban 10 mg/kg was given to the AAA-edoxaban group by oral gavage daily for 30 days.
Repair of Contained Rupture of an Infrarenal Aortic Aneurysm Using Autologous Superficial Femoral Vein.

Department of Surgery, Hawassa University, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Medicine, Hawassa, Ethiopia.
Introduction: Contained ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (CR-AAA) refers to an acute aortic wall disruption leading to expansion of perivascular haematoma that is sealed off by peri-aortic structures. Low and middle income countries have a critical gap in managing abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). In Ethiopia, AAA screening is not routine and open surgical repair (OSR) using donated grafts remains the only treatment option.

Universidade Estadual Paulista - UNESP, Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu, Botucatu, SP, Brasil.
Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are 4-6 times more frequent among men than among women, but prognosis tends to be worse in women.
Objective: To compare endovascular procedures to repair infrarenal AAA in men and women, using data from a prospective registry.
Methods: This registry collected data from five university hospitals in the state of São Paulo (Brazil) from 2012 to 2022.
A bibliometric and visualization analysis of global trends and frontiers on macrophages in abdominal aortic aneurysms research.
Medicine (Baltimore)
October 2024
Department of VIP In-Patient Ward, The First Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, Liaoning, China.
Background: Macrophages are key regulators of the inflammatory and innate immune responses. Researchers have shown that aberrant expression of macrophages contributes to the development of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). However, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis exploring the research status and knowledge mapping of this area is lacking.

EJVES Vasc Forum
July 2024
Department of Vascular Surgery, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Introduction: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) with intraluminal thrombus (ILT) are suggested to be more prone to rupture than AAAs without. Prior studies indicate that the von Willebrand factor (vWf) plays a role in the formation of ILT since a positive correlation between ILT volume and vWf has been shown. vWf mediates the tethering of platelets at sites of endothelial injury, and the protease ADAMTS-13 cleaves larger forms of vWf, thus counteracting the thrombosis cascade and maintaining haemostatic balance.
