Reduction in aneurysm size during the months after an endovascular graft placement generally is considered one of the criteria of success. We report the case of a patient with an abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture occurring 9 months after a bifurcated endovascular graft placement despite a greater than 45% reduction in size noted on contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan performed at 7 months. Biomaterial modifications of the stent and of the Dacron explanted stent-graft are analyzed.

Background And Objectives: The key points of a monographic vascular access (VA) consultation are an adequate preoperative assessment, as well as a correct management and optimization of waiting lists. Our main objective of present study was to evaluate the degree of exploratory-dependent concordance in outpatient clinics regarding implanted VA, between nephrology and vascular surgery.

Materials And Methods: We analyzed VA created or surgically repaired between 2021 and 2022.

Objective: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) requires revascularization whenever it is possible. The great saphenous vein represents the surgical conduit of choice. However, it is not always available, in particular in multi-operated patients.

Objective: This retrospective, single centre, comparative effectiveness study aimed to compare the long term outcomes of percutaneous arteriovenous fistulae (pAVF) and surgically created arteriovenous fistulae (sAVF) created in the proximal forearm for haemodialysis access.

Methods: Data were reviewed from a prospectively maintained database on patients who underwent pAVF or sAVF creation from September 2017 to September 2023. A total of 217 pAVFs (61 WavelinQ and 156 Ellipsys) and 158 sAVFs were analysed.

Polyomavirus BK (BKPyV)-associated nephropathy (BKPyV-nephropathy) remains a significant cause of premature kidney allograft failure. In the absence of effective antiviral treatments, current therapeutic approaches rely on immunosuppression (IS) reduction, possibly at the risk of inducing alloimmunity. Therefore, we sought to explore the long-term effects of a tailored viro-immunologic surveillance and treatment program for BKPyV on the development of alloimmunity and kidney graft outcome.

Subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms are rare but potentially life-threatening vascular injuries frequently associated with trauma such as clavicle fractures. In this paper we describe the case of a 49-year-old male who developed a post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the subclavian artery after a bicycle accident. The diagnosis was delayed due to non-specific symptoms and an initially missed aneurysm on computed tomography imaging.
