The Impact of the COVID-19 Public Health Crisis on the Surgical Management of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Rupture.
Ann Vasc Surg
December 2024
Section of Vascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, Michigan Medicine, Ann Arbor, MI; Jobst Vascular Institute, Toledo, OH.
Objectives: The COVID-19 epidemic introduced significant systems- and disease-based uncertainty into Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) rupture management. The goal of this work was to evaluate whether short-term AAA rupture outcomes during COVID-19 were comparable to pre-COVID era outcomes and to explore the impact of COVID status and COVID era healthcare systems restrictions on AAA rupture outcomes.
Methods: The Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) database was queried for all ruptured AAAs that underwent intervention from January 1, 2019 to August 31, 2022.
Are current follow-up intervals justified in patients with non-emergent aortic surgeries?
Interdiscip Cardiovasc Thorac Surg

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital Freiburg Heart Centre, Freiburg, Germany, University of Freiburg, Faculty of Medicine, Freiburg, Germany.
Objectives: Evidence for different surveillance protocols following aortic treatment is still lacking. Aim of this study was to analyze the clinical relevance of a first follow-up visit after 6 months.
Methods: Between 01/2018 and 12/2019, 464 patients treated for non-emergent aortic pathologies were retrospectively analysed.
Age-dependent changes in diameters of abdominal visceral arteries in children.

Purpose: The diameters of the abdominal aorta and its branches are affected by demographic properties of patients like age, sex or body mass index. Some researchers use the body of the first lumbar vertebra (L1) as an anatomical indicator to create an exact standard for diagnosing arterial aneurysms or stenoses. In this regard, this work designed to uncover relations of abdominal visceral arteries with L1 in normal children using their abdominopelvic computed tomography images.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a significant vascular condition characterized by the dilation of the abdominal aorta, presenting a substantial risk of rupture and associated high mortality rates. Current management strategies primarily rely on aneurysm diameter and growth rates to predict rupture risk and determine the timing of surgical intervention. However, this approach has limitations, as ruptures can occur in smaller AAAs below surgical thresholds, and many large AAAs remain stable without intervention.

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most common congenital cardiac anomaly, predisposes individuals to aortic stenosis and regurgitation due to valve degeneration. Abnormal hemodynamics, arterial wall characteristics, and genetic factors contribute to ascending aorta dilatation, potentially leading to severe complications like aortic dissection. Presently, the most recent guidelines propose that individuals with BAV requiring valve replacement due to valve dysfunction should undergo simultaneous replacement of the ascending aorta when the diameter of aortic dilatation exceeds 4.
