With the increasing use of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and the availability of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and cholelithiasis, respectively, the association between these elective treatments is not yet well-defined. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the results of elective and simultaneous EVAR and LC. Thirteen patients (mean age, 72 years) with concomitant large and asymptomatic AAA and asymptomatic cholelithiasis underwent simultaneous EVAR and LC. Post-operative mortality was absent, and the morbidity rate was 7%. The mean total duration of the procedure was 142 min. The mean duration of fluoroscopy was 19 min, and the mean radiation dose was 65 mGy. The mean amount of iodinated contrast injected was 49 mL. The timing of oral fluid intake was 28 h (range, 24-48 h) and that of the oral low-fat diet was 53 h (range, 48-72 h). No patient presented with an aortic graft infection during the entire follow-up period (mean duration, 41 months). The mean length of post-operative hospital stay was 6 days (range, 5-8 days). Late survival was 85%, and the exclusion of AAA was 100%. Simultaneous EVAR and LC can be performed safely, allowing effective and durable treatment under both AAA and cholelithiasis conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Endovascular repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) has been the preferred method since 1991, with new techniques like contralateral gate cannulation being developed to enhance the process.
- A new device called the Taofan and Kang (T&K) bidirectional endovascular aortic repair (B-EVAR) was introduced, utilizing a unique approach to deploy stent grafts through both femoral arteries while ensuring safety and effectiveness.
- In a pilot study involving six patients, the T&K B-EVAR showed promising results with no complications or prolonged hospital stays, indicating it simplifies the AAA repair process and could be beneficial for a wider range of patients.

Objective: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) shrinkage is considered a marker for success following endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). Although maximum diameter is widely used to assess sac behavior, research indicates that changes in AAA morphology do not always affect the maximum diameter. The aim of this study was to investigate if automated AAA sac volume measurements after EVAR can add more nuanced information on sac behavior compared with maximum diameter evaluation alone.

Introduction: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a safe and widespread treatment option for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Unfavourable anatomy, such as hostile neck and aorto-iliac atherosclerosis, can lead to many complications and compromise the long term reliability of the endograft, resulting in a high rate of EVAR failure. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) has emerged as an alternative treatment to address severe iliofemoral atherosclerosis, aiding trackability of devices in EVAR.

Article Synopsis
- Spinal cord ischemia (SCI) poses significant risks during endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR), even though these procedures are less invasive than open surgery, necessitating strategies to maintain spinal cord blood flow.
- The study involved 16 EVAR cases across 15 patients, examining levels of oxidative stress and inflammatory markers before and after the procedures to understand their relationship to delayed SCI.
- Results showed a notable increase in the oxidative stress marker 8-OHdG at 48 hours post-procedure, highlighting its potential role in predicting SCI following EVAR.
Simultaneous versus staged approach in transcatheter aortic valve implantation for severe stenosis and endovascular aortic repair for thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Objectives: Thoracic/abdominal aortic aneurysms and aortic stenosis may be concomitant diseases requiring both transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and endovascular aneurysm repair (T/EVAR) in high-risk patients for surgical approaches, but temporal management is not clearly defined yet. The aim of the study was to analyse outcomes of simultaneous versus staged TAVI and T/EVAR.
Methods: Retrospective observational multicentre study was performed on patients requiring TAVI and T/EVAR from 2016 to 2022.
