A 67-year-old woman with a prior history of aortic dissection was admitted for enlarging the thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA). She has received multiple treatments including Bentall procedure, hemiarch replacement, and subsequent endovascular procedures for the closure of re-entry. Preoperative computed tomography revealed previously implanted thoracic endograft from distal arch to superior mesenteric artery with dissected TAAA measuring up to 70 mm in diameter. Re-entry was observed at bilateral common iliac arteries. The patient was successfully treated by endovascular treatment using a fenestrated stent graft to obtain a landing zone for parallel endograft technique to the iliac arteries for the closure of re-entry.

Utilization and Outcomes Associated With Intravascular Ultrasound during Abdominal and Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Interventions in the United States in the Contemporary Era (2016-2023).

Background: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) use in aortic endovascular interventions, including thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), may have similar benefits to those seen in coronary and peripheral interventions, but limited utilization and outcome data exist.
Methods: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services claims data were used to identify patients undergoing TEVAR and EVAR from 2016 to 2023. Utilization trends were stratified by region, urbanicity, distressed communities index, community versus academic center, Medicare versus dual enrollment status, indication, urgency, and presence of dissection with malperfusion.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune neuromuscular junction disorder that rarely coexists with infectious thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) requiring open repair. A 57-year-old patient with MG underwent elective thoracoabdominal aortic replacement. He was diagnosed with MG (Osserman classification II A).

Objective: This study offers a retrospective assessment of a single-center experience using cerebrospinal fluid catheters to reduce the risk of perioperative spinal cord injury in patients undergoing single-staged complex endovascular juxtarenal or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
Results: A total of 97 patients were included. On average, 70.

Objectives: Neuroprotective measures have been established in open thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm repair to reduce the incidence of postoperative paraplegia. Distal aortic perfusion (DaP) is meant to increase blood flow to the abdominal organs and the spinal cord. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage is part of peri- and postoperative clinical routine.

Objectives: Recently, epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) assessed by CT was identified as an independent mortality predictor in patients with various cardiac diseases. Our goal was to develop a deep learning pipeline for robust automatic EAT assessment in CT.
Methods: Contrast-enhanced ECG-gated cardiac and thoraco-abdominal spiral CT imaging from 1502 patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was included.
