JOURNAL OF VASCULAR SURGERY. Intentional coverage of the left subclavian artery during endovascular repair of traumatic descending thoracic aortic transection

Objective: This single-center, prospective study aimed to investigate the technical success and outcome of intentional coverage of the left subclavian artery (LSA) in patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for traumatic rupture of the aortic isthmus at a tertiary care medical center.

JOURNAL OF VASCULAR SURGERY. Deep venous thrombosis after repair of nonruptured abdominal aneurysm

Objective: To examine venous thromboembolism (VTE) rates, timing, and risk factors after nonruptured open or endoluminal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair.

JOURNAL OF VASCULAR SURGERY. The impact of endograft type on inflammatory response after endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm

Objective: To evaluate the impact of endograft type on the inflammatory response after elective endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms.

JOURNAL OF ENDOVASCULAR THERAPY. Sustained Patency and Clinical Improvement Following Treatment of Atherosclerotic Iliac Artery Disease Using the Assurant Cobalt Iliac Balloon-Expandable Stent System

Purpose: To report the outcome of the ACTIVE (Use of the Assurant Cobalt Iliac Stent System in the Treatment of Iliac Vessel Disease) study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00753337), which was designed to determine the safety and effectiveness of the next-generation Assurant cobalt chromium balloon-expandable stent in symptomatic patients with iliac occlusive disease.

JOURNAL OF VASCULAR SURGERY. Endovascular repair of ruptured infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm is associated with lower 30-day mortality and better 5-year survival rates than open surgical repair

Objective: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) decreases 30-day mortality for patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (r-AAAs) compared with open surgical repair (OSR). However, which patients benefit or whether there is any long-term survival advantage is uncertain.

JOURNAL OF VASCULAR SURGERY. Prediction of graft patency and mortality after distal revascularization and interval ligation for hemodialysis access-related hand ischemia

Objective: The treatment goals of access-related hand ischemia (ARHI) are to reverse symptoms and salvage the access. Many procedures have been described, but the optimal treatment strategy remains unresolved. In an effort to guide clinical decision making, this study was undertaken to document our outcomes for distal revascularization and interval ligation (DRIL) and to identify predictors of bypass patency and patient mortality.

JOURNAL OF ENDOVASCULAR THERAPY. Open Fenestration of the Distal Landing Zone via a Subxyphoid Incision for Subsequent Endovascular Repair of a Dissecting Thoracic Aneurysm

Purpose: To describe a novel hybrid technique to address two challenges in endovascular repair of chronic dissecting thoracic aortic aneurysm (dTAA): obtaining an adequate seal of the stent-graft in a half-moon-shaped fibrotic aortic lumen and preserving flow into the distal true and false lumens.

JOURNAL OF ENDOVASCULAR THERAPY. CT Angiography at 24 Months Demonstrates Durability of EVAR With the Use of Chimney Grafts for Pararenal Aortic Pathologies

Purpose: To present the 24-month radiological follow-up data for patients with pararenal aortic pathologies treated with chimney and periscope grafts during endovascular repair.

JOURNAL OF VASCULAR SURGERY. The outcome of failed endografts inserted for superficial femoral artery occlusive disease

Objective: Endografts represent a relatively new treatment modality for occlusive disease of the superficial femoral artery, with promising results. However, endografts may occlude collateral arteries, which may affect outcome in case of failure. The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical outcome of failed endografts in patients with superficial femoral artery occlusive disease.

CARDIOVASCULAR AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY. Hybrid Repair of Complex Thoracic Aortic Arch Pathology: Long-Term Outcomes of Extra-anatomic Bypass Grafting of the Supra-aortic Trunk

Purpose: Hybrid repair constitutes supra-aortic debranching before thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). It offers improved short-term outcome compared with open surgery; however, longer-term studies are required to assess patient outcomes and patency of the extra-anatomic bypass grafts

CARDIOVASCULAR AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY. Endovascular Treatment of Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Lesions With or Without Common Iliac Artery Involvement

Purpose: To evaluate the results of stent placement for obstructive atherosclerotic aortic disease with or without involvement of the common iliac artery.

CARDIOVASCULAR AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY. Neointimal Hyperplasia after Silverhawk Atherectomy versus Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) in Femoropopliteal Stent Reobstructions: A Controlled, Randomized Pilot Trial

Background: Due to intimal hyperplasia instent reobstruction in the femoropopliteal arterial segment is still an unsolved problem. Different techniques have been discussed in case of reintervention to guarantee longlasting patency rate.

CARDIOVASCULAR AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY. Alternative Techniques for Treatment of Complex Below-the Knee Arterial Occlusions in Diabetic Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe alternative endovascular (EV) techniques and assess their feasibility and efficacy in minimizing failure rates in limb salvage for the treatment of complex below-the knee (BTK) occlusions that could not be crossed with a conventional antegrade access.

CARDIOVASCULAR AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY. The Effect of Endovascular Revascularization of Common Iliac Artery Occlusions on Erectile Function

Purpose: To determine the incidence of erectile dysfunction in patients with common iliac artery (CIA) occlusive disease and the effect of revascularization on erectile function using the sexual health inventory for males (SHIM) questionnaire.
