Branched and fenestrated endografts for complex AAAs appear durable This study aimed at studying the durability of branched and fenestrated grafts used in aortic aneurysm repair by analysing any graft-related complication and secondary interventions. 650 prospective patients were included and … Continue reading →

Changes in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Rupture and Short-Term Mortality, 1995–2008: A Retrospective Observational Study In this retrospective study, admissions for elective AAA and ruptured AAA (rAAA) were examined to assess possible changes in epidemiology and short-term mortality. 338,278 patients underwent … Continue reading →

Significantly higher risks of reintervention and aneurysm rupture after EVAR for AAA This systematic review aimed to investigate 30‐day and long‐term mortality, reintervention, rupture and morbidity after EVAR and open repair for AAA. 25 078 patients undergoing EVAR and 27 142 undergoing … Continue reading →

Preop serum BNP concentration predicts postoperative cardiac events following AAA repair This prospective observational study aimed to determine if a single preoperative B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level correlated with perioperative cardiac events, cardiac death, and all-cause mortality in elective open … Continue reading →

Preop IMA embolization is associated with reduced incidences of type II endoleak This study reviews the effect of preoperative embolization of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) before endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) on subsequent endoleaks and aneurysm growth. 108 patients underwent … Continue reading →

Validated risk model predicts perioperative mortality after elective AAA repair The aim of this study was to develop and validate an internal risk model for predicting perioperative mortality following elective AAA repair and to compare this with other well-known models. … Continue reading →

Low ankle-brachial index is associated with reduced bilateral hip extensor strength in PAD This study evaluated if the severity of symptomatic Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is associated with lower levels of muscle mass, strength, endurance, and if these musculoskeletal abnormalities … Continue reading →

Endovenous laser ablation is associated with less periprocedural morbidity in short saphenous vein reflux This trial randomised 106 patients to either surgery or endovenous laser ablation. Abolition of short saphenous vein reflux was significantly higher after laser treatment than surgery. … Continue reading →

Kidney injury following TEVAR is associated with blood transfusions and extent of thoracoabdominal disease This prospective study analyzed the incidence and the predictive factors of postoperative acute kidney injury after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and evaluated the effect of … Continue reading →

Aneurysmal disease is associated with lower carotid intima-media thickness than occlusive arterial disease This prospective cohort study aimed to investigate whether there is a difference in atherosclerotic burden as measured by carotid intima media thickness between patients with aneurysmal and … Continue reading →
