Abstract The MMI Symani ® is a recently approved robotic microsurgical system for surgical procedures in adults. enables the surgeon to create microanastomoses. Clinical applications so far include lymphatic vessels surgery and creation of special flap plastics. use coronary arteries has not yet been assessed. aim this preclinical study was evaluate applicability anastomoses cadaveric porcine model. A total 12 were performed by three senior cardiovascular surgeons on left main artery hearts....
Purpose: In some cases of endovascular thoracoabdominal or juxtarenal aortic aneurysm repair, a thoracic endograft in combination with fenestrated renovisceral device may be needed order to create sufficient proximal landing zone. This study aimed evaluate the technical aspects and postoperative morbidity single- 2-stage approach. Methods: Eighty-seven consecutive patients undergoing repair (TEVAR) elective (fenestrated [FEVAR]; Anaconda device) from 2015 2022 were included this...
Abstract Background So called “mycotic” aortic aneurysms account for only 0.7 to 1.3% of all and are commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus Salmonella species. Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), a live attenuated strain Mycobacterium bovis , is part the therapy non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Case presentation We report case series three patients with mycobacterial graft infection related BCG after surgical treatment presumed mycotic aneurysm as an extremely rare complication...
To report and analyze the indications results of endovascular open surgical treatment for uretero-arterial fistula.We retrospectively reviewed clinical data 25 consecutive patients with fistulas admitted to our hospital from 2011 2020. Endpoints were technical success, freedom conversion, stent-graft/graft-related complications, 30-day one-year mortality.The study included (68% female, n = 17) 27 by bilateral pathologies in two patients. The mean age was 61 ± 11 years (range 35-80). most...
Abstract Background Macrophages are involved in tissue homeostasis, angiogenesis and immunomodulation. Proangiogenic anti-inflammatory macrophages (regulatory macrophages, Mreg) can be differentiated in-vitro from CD14 + monocytes by using a defined cell culture medium stimulus of IFNγ. Aim the study To scrutinize potential impact temporal IFNγ exposure on macrophage differentiation as such may lead to emergence distinct novel subtype. Methods Differentiation human Mreg was performed GMP...
Background Endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become the standard procedure for treating infrarenal abdominal aneurysms (AAA). Various associated complications can lead to open conversion (OC). Thorough follow-up after is mandatory early detection of complications. Persisting perfusion aneurysm, a so-called endoleak (EL), paired with structural instability because wall atrophy and impaired cell functionality induced by EVAR, results in high risk rupture. Purpose The goal this...
Endovascular repair (EVAR) has become the standard procedure in treating thoracic (TAA) or abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Not entirely free of complications, a persisting perfusion aneurysm after EVAR, called Endoleak (EL), leads to reintervention and risk secondary rupture. How wall responds implantation stentgraft EL is mostly uncertain. We present pilot study identify peptide signatures gain new insights pathophysiological alterations EVAR using matrix-assisted laser desorption...
To report and compare neoaortoiliac system reconstruction cryopreserved human allograft in treating aortic graft infections.We retrospectively analysed the data of patients treated for aorto infections between January 2015 May 2021 our hospital. The clinical data, diagnostic procedures, surgical options were evaluated. primary endpoint this study was 30-day 1-year mortality; secondary endpoints major postoperative complications.We reviewed a series 31 consecutive (28 males; median age 72...
Aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a rare complication associated with high mortality. Most well established treatment multi-staged surgery, including removal of infected stent graft, esophageal resection and reconstruction. We report on case 67-year-old patient AEF graft infection. Stent was infeasible due to the critical condition history multiple vascular procedures thoracoabdominal aorta. Surgical management included staged right left...

Objectives: This study’s objective was to evaluate Endurant II (Medtronic Inc, Minneapolis, Minnesota) stent graft’s early and midterm outcomes compare the results according anatomic severity grade (ASG) scores. Methods: a retrospective study of patients treated with graft between January 2013 May 2021. The were divided into 2 independent groups, including those low ASG score (score <14) high >14). Results: A total 165 consecutive (89% males, age 74±8 years) included. There 110 (67%)...
Background: This study aimed to evaluate risk factors for adverse outcomes and perioperative stroke death in patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis undergoing open endarterectomy (CEA). The second objective was assess the predictive value of POSSUM V-POSSUM models predicting morbidity mortality from CEA stenosis. Patients methods: A retrospective observational all admitted a single center who underwent performed. 320 1999 2013 were included. Postoperative complications, 30-day survival,...
A 66-year-old female presented in the emergency department with Blue-Toe-Syndrome (BTS) and signs of osteitis her left big toe. Imaging workup peripheral vasculature showed no findings. Upon invasive angiography, severe focal stenosis dorsalis pedis artery (DPA) could be seen at talonavicular joint. Complete regression was inducible by dorsal extension ankle Further imaging revealed an underlying subluxation joint as cause arterial compression. Entrapment DPA is a rare condition most often...
