Acute uncomplicated type B aortic dissection (aTBAD) is often treated non operatively, with medical management primarily focused on blood pressure and heart rate control. After a 3 month period following the initial diagnosis, the dissection is considered chronic. Frequent clinical and imaging follow-up is performed to evaluate for dissection stability, aneurysmal degeneration, and visceral malperfusion, which would represent indication for surgical or endovascular repair. In this article we discuss four cases of chronic type B aortic dissection (cTBAD) managed with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and varying techniques.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the risk factors for developing type I endoleak in patients undergoing elective endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
- A total of 105 patients were analyzed, dividing them into those who experienced endoleak (23) and those who did not (82), comparing demographic and clinical characteristics between the two groups.
- High hostile neck index (HNI) was identified as a significant independent predictor of type I endoleak, with a specific cut-off value determined for predicting endoleak risk.

Brown University, Providence, RI. Electronic address:
Background: We sought to identify predictors of acute renal failure (ARF) following acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) and its implications on postoperative outcomes.
Methods: ATAAD cases were identified from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons - Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (2017-2022). Cases with chronic dissection, prior aortic repair, primary endovascular repair, preoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, preoperative renal failure, and operative room deaths were excluded.

Objective: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) clinical pathways have demonstrated improved perioperative outcomes after major surgery. However, its adoption within vascular surgery has been limited. In this study, we examined the impact of an ERAS protocol with multimodal anesthesia on open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair by comparing early outcomes before and after its implementation.
