Objective: Low-profile endografts have reported increased rates of limb graft occlusions. The INCRAFT stent graft system is an ultra-low profile endograft for the exclusion of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. Our aim was to report thromboembolic events (TE) in patients treated with the INCRAFT device and its association with risk factors.

This is an annual report indicating the number and early clinical results of annual vascular treatment performed by vascular surgeons in Japan in 2017, as analyzed by Database Management Committee (DBC) members of the Japanese Society for Vascular Surgery (JSVS). To survey the current status of vascular treatments performed by vascular surgeons in Japan, the DBC members of the JSVS analyzed the vascular treatment data provided by the National Clinical Database, including the number of treatments and early results such as operative and hospital mortality. In total, 137,909 vascular treatments were registered by 1,076 institutions in 2017.

Introduction: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and peripheral arterial and aortic diseases (PAADs) are associated with increased risk of myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS).

Objectives: Our aim was to evaluate whether preoperative transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) abnormalities are linked to MINS in patients undergoing open vascular surgeries involving the abdominal aorta due to AAA and / or PAAD.

Patients And Methods: We analyzed a retrospective cohort of consecutive patients who underwent open abdominal aortic surgery due to infrarenal AAA and / or aortoiliac occlusive disease in a single tertiary center.

Abdominal aortic aneurysms can constitute a therapeutic challenge in several anatomical scenarios, making endovascular treatment more complex. A juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (JR-AAA) is defined by the absence of a proximal landing zone in the infrarenal segment and, therefore, techniques must be used to obtain an adequate neck for fixing the endoprostheses without provoking occlusion of renal arteries and visceral branches. The parallel grafts technique, physician-modified stent-graft, industry customized endoprostheses, and off-the-shelf branched endoprosthesis are techniques used in abdominal aneurysms with inadequate proximal neck, but each technique has its indications, limitations, and risks.
