Situs inversus totalis (SIT) refers to a mirror-image reversal of the internal organ position. The coexistence of abdominal aortic aneurysm and SIT is extremely rare; very short series have been reported; therefore its prevalence has never been estimated. The presence of anatomical anomalies could increase operative risk. The authors describe a case of successfully repaired pararenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with a right retroperitoneal approach in situs inversus totalis.

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a localized bulge of the abdominal aorta, which mainly manifests as a pulsatile mass in the abdomen. Once an abdominal aortic aneurysm ruptures, the patient's life is seriously endangered. Surgery is the preferred treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are a widely prescribed class of antibiotics including ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and ofloxacin. They are commonly used to treat a variety of infections worldwide. Known for their broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, as well as excellent pharmacokinetics and bioavailability, the use of FQs has risen significantly.

Intraluminal prosthetic graft thrombus (IPT) has been described in case of endovascular aortic pathology repair. This study aimed to assess hemodynamic indicators associated with various anatomical morphologies following endovascular aortic repair (EVAR), aiming to offer further references for the choice of clinical therapy. Six model models (normal, iliac compression, aortic compression, aortoiliac compression, iliac distortion, and long-leg stent) were established based on common anatomical morphologies following EVAR.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a potentially fatal vascular inflammatory disease characterized by infiltration of various inflammatory cells.The GABA-A receptor is expressed in many inflammatory cells such as macrophages and T cells and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Therefore, the GABA-A receptor may become a potential therapeutic target for abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Background: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become increasingly prevalent for treating asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). This study compares the early and late outcomes between EVAR and open aneurysm repair (OAR) in asymptomatic AAA patients.
Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted involving 564 patients (445 EVAR, 119 OAR) who underwent AAA repair from January 2010 to June 2022.
