Background: Repair of thoracic aortic aneurysms with either endovascular repair (TEVAR) or open surgical repair (OSR) represents major surgery, is costly and associated with significant complications. The aim of this study was to establish accurate costs of delivering TEVAR and OSR in a cohort of UK NHS patients suitable for open and endovascular treatment for the whole treatment pathway from admission and to discharge and 12-month follow-up.
Methods: A prospective study of UK NHS patients from 30 NHS vascular/cardiothoracic units in England aged ≥18, with distal arch/descending thoracic aortic aneurysms (CTAA) was undertaken. A multicentre prospective cost analysis of patients (recruited March 2014-July 2018, follow-up until July 2019) undergoing TEVAR or OSR was performed. Patients deemed suitable for open or endovascular repair were included in this study. A micro-costing approach was adopted.
Results: Some 115 patients having undergone TEVAR and 35 patients with OSR were identified. The mean (s.d.) cost of a TEVAR procedure was higher £26 536 (£9877) versus OSR £17 239 (£8043). Postoperative costs until discharge were lower for TEVAR £7484 (£7848) versus OSR £28 636 (£23 083). Therefore, total NHS costs from admission to discharge were lower for TEVAR £34 020 (£14 301), versus OSR £45 875 (£43 023). However, mean NHS costs for 12 months following the procedure were slightly higher for the TEVAR £5206 (£11 585) versus OSR £5039 (£11 994).
Conclusions: Surgical procedure costs were higher for TEVAR due to device costs. Total in-hospital costs were higher for OSR due to longer hospital and critical care stay. Follow-up costs over 12 months were slightly higher for TEVAR due to hospital readmissions.

Target Artery Outcomes Following Endovascular versus Open Surgical Repair of Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms - A Single Center Comparative Study.
Ann Surg
November 2024
Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Advanced Aortic Research Program at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, McGovern Medical School, Houston, TX.
Objective: To compare target artery (TA) outcomes after fenestrated or branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) versus open surgical repair (OSR) of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs).
Background: Few studies have compared TA outcomes after endovascular incorporation and open reconstruction.
Methods: Among consecutive patients who underwent elective OSR or FB-EVAR of TAAAs (2008-2020), we reviewed those who had postoperative imaging studies evaluating TA.
Generalizability of lesion detection and segmentation when ScaleNAS is trained on a large multi-organ dataset and validated in the liver.

Article Synopsis
- Tumor imaging is essential for cancer diagnosis and treatment, especially for accurately detecting and segmenting liver lesions, which is often a challenging and variable process.
- The study aims to assess an AI model called ScaleNAS for detecting and segmenting liver lesions on CT scans, comparing its performance to human radiologists and evaluating its effectiveness on various datasets including internal and publicly available data.
- The methods involved analyzing a large dataset from Columbia University and clinical trials, with the reference standard created through expert annotation and consensus, leading to both internal and external testing of the AI's performance on liver lesions specifically.
The Relationship Between Peri-Operative Systemic Inflammation and Survival in Patients With Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.

Background: An association between preoperative markers of systemic inflammation and inferior mortality following abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair has been observed. The prognostic value of the postoperative inflammatory response remains unreported in patients with AAA. This study aimed to describe the association between the perioperative inflammatory response and mortality in patients undergoing endovascular aneurysm repair and open surgical repair (OSR) for infrarenal AAA.

Purpose: Endovascular treatment (EVT) has been shown to be effective and safe for isolated iliac artery aneurysms (IAAs). However, concerns remain regarding the lack of consideration to recent advances in perioperative care and surgical techniques, as well as a significant number of re-interventions with EVT. This study compares the outcomes of open surgical repair (OSR) and EVT using recent clinical data.

Article Synopsis
- Pararenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (PR-AAA) lack a proper neck between the aneurysm and renal arteries, complicating surgical options; open surgical repair (OSR) is the gold standard, while endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is for high-risk patients.
- The study compares renal dysfunction outcomes between EVAR and OSR in 179 identified PR-AAA patients, excluding those with complex aneurysm types, using a database from 2002 to 2023.
- Results show that 17.46% of EVAR patients experienced acute kidney injury (AKI) versus 36.11% of OSR patients, and while 30-day morbidity was notably lower in the EVAR group (20
