To evaluate the differences in technical outcomes and secondary interventions between elective endovascular aneurysm repair (el-EVAR) procedures those for ruptured aneurysms (r-EVAR).Of 906 patients treated with primary EVAR from September 1998 until July 2012, 43 cases were excluded owing to use of first-generation stent-grafts. Among remaining 863 patients, 773 (89.6%) (mean age 72 years; 697 men) asymptomatic or symptomatic abdominal aortic (AAAs) assigned el-EVAR group; 90 (10.4%) 73...
We aimed to compare the outcomes of Endurant II (Medtronic) stent-graft used under instructions for use versus off-label in high-risk patients considered unfit conventional surgery.Data from treated with between December 2012 and March 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Sixty-four included. Patients assigned group A if (n=34, 53%) B (n=30, 47%). Outcome measures included perioperative mortality morbidity, survival, freedom reintervention, endoleak incidence, in-hospital length stay, mean...
One-hundred patients were included to evaluate the role of cerebral computed tomography (CT) improve patient selection in asymptomatic internal carotid stenosis. Symptomatic assigned group A, B. A CT pattern was observed groups and B 60% 20%, respectively ( P < .0001). Between groups, type 6 plaques found, respectively, 26.7% 7.5% = .01); a 5 51.7% 45% .32) patients; 4 21.7% 47.5% patients, .006). Within group, association histological plaque level 4, 5, was, 25% .15), 50% .53), .16). In...
Axillary aneurysms are rare pathologies and although most of them the result traumatic events, there is a percentage that due to atherosclerotic disease or degenerative process over time. Once aneurysm develops, it can cause distal ischemic events and/or neurological symptoms related embolism compression. Therefore, diagnosis treatment axillary crucial for patient. Most be treated effectively by surgical excision vascular grafting. We present case patient with bilateral diagnosed after...
