EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF VASCULAR & ENDOVASCULAR SURGERY. Differences in Mortality, Risk Factors, and Complications After Open and Endovascular Repair of Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

G.C.I. von Meijenfeldt, K.H.J. Ultee, D. Eefting, S.E. Hoeks, S. ten Raa, E.V. Rouwet, J.M. Hendriks, H.J.M. Verhagen, F.M. Bastos Goncalves

Objective: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) has faced resistance owing to the marginal evidence of benefit over open surgical repair (OSR). This study aims to determine the impact of treatment modality on early mortality after rAAA, and to assess differences in postoperative complications and long-term survival.

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF VASCULAR & ENDOVASCULAR SURGERY. 3D Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound for Detecting Endoleak Following Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR)

A. Abbas, V. Hansrani, N. Sedgwick, J. Ghosh, C.N. McCollum

Objective: CT angiography (CTA) for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) surveillance involves irradiation and nephrotoxic X-ray contrast agents. Three-dimensional contrast enhanced ultrasound (3D CEUS) is a novel imaging technique that may be more sensitive to blood flow detection than CTA or 2D CEUS. 3D CEUS utilises positional information from magnetic field emitters to assemble all ultrasound reflections into a high-definition image. We compared 3D CEUS with CTA for the detection of endoleak and aneurysm expansion following EVAR.

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF VASCULAR & ENDOVASCULAR SURGERY. Graft Durability and Fatigue after In Situ Fenestration of Endovascular Stent Grafts Using Radiofrequency Puncture and Balloon Dilatation

L.A. Eadie, G. Soulez, M.W. King, L.W. Tse

Objectives: In situ fenestration of endovascular stent grafts is a technique that is becoming more common, as it has the advantages of decreased cost, increased availability, and more anatomic configuration than other methods of branch revascularization. However, a significant concern is the short- and long-term durability of the stent graft fabric during and after fenestration.

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF VASCULAR & ENDOVASCULAR SURGERY. Improvement of Venous Pumping Function by Double Progressive Compression Stockings: Higher Pressure Over the Calf is More Important Than a Graduated Pressure Profile

G. Mosti, H. Partsch

Background: Previous studies have shown that so-called progressive elastic compression stockings (PECS) with a negative pressure gradient have a more pronounced effect on venous pump function than conventional, graduated stockings. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of higher graduated and non-graduated pressures on the venous calf pump in patients with venous disease.

EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL. The year in cardiology 2014: peripheral circulation

In 2014, the debate on the indication of revascularization in case of asymptomatic carotid disease continued, while another one regarding the use of surgery vs. stenting addressed some new issues regarding the long-term cardiac risk of these patients. Renal arteries interventions trials were disappointing, as neither renal denervation nor renal artery stenting was found associated with better blood pressure management or outcome. In contrast, in lower-extremities artery disease, the endovascular techniques represent in 2014 major alternatives to surgery, even in distal arteries, with new insights regarding the interest of drug-eluting balloons. Regarding the aorta, the ESC published its first guidelines document on the entire vessel, emphasizing on the role of every cardiologist for screening abdominal aorta aneurysm during echocardiography. Among vascular wall biomarkers, the aorta stiffness is of increasing interest with new data and meta-analysis confirming its ability to stratify risk, whereas carotid intima-media thickness showed poor performances in terms of reclassifying patients into risk categories beyond risk scores. Regarding the veins, new data suggest the interest of D-dimers and residual venous thrombosis to help the decision of anti-coagulation prolongation or discontinuation after the initial period of treatment for deep vein thrombosis.

JOURNAL OF ENDOVASCULAR THERAPY. Midterm Outcome of EndoAnchors for the Prevention of Endoleak and Stent-Graft Migration in Patients With Challenging Proximal Aortic Neck Anatomy

William D. Jordan Jr, MD, Jean-Paul P. M. de Vries, MD, PhD, Kenneth Ouriel, MD, Manish Mehta, MD, MPH, David Varnagy, MD, William M. Moore Jr, MD, Frank R. Arko, MD, James Joye, DO, John Henretta, MD

Purpose: To explore the use of EndoAnchors as an adjunct to endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair for prevention of proximal neck complications in patients with challenging neck anatomy.

JOURNAL OF ENDOVASCULAR THERAPY. Active Proximal Sealing in the Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Nikolaos Melas, MD, PhD, Kyriakos Stavridis, MD, Athanasios Saratzis, MRCS, PhD, John Lazarides, MD, PhD, Christos Gitas, MD, Nikolaos Saratzis, MD, PhD

Purpose: To investigate the performance of a new device that uses the STRATA polytetrafluoroethylene graft material and a mechanism that provides active proximal sealing in order to prevent type Ia endoleak during endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).

JOURNAL OF VASCULAR AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY. Emergent Salvage Direct Intrahepatic Portocaval Shunt Procedure for Acute Variceal Hemorrhage

Thomas J. Ward, MD, Tust Techasith, MD, John D. Louie, MD, Gloria L. Hwang, MD, Lawrence V. Hofmann, MD, Daniel Y. Sze, MD, PhD

Purpose: To review the safety and effectiveness of direct intrahepatic portocaval shunt (DIPS) creation with variceal embolization for acute variceal hemorrhage after a failed transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation attempt or in patients with prohibitive anatomy.
