Current reporting guidelines do not call for standardised declaration of follow-up completeness, although study validity depends on the representativeness measured outcomes. The Follow-Up Index (FUI) describes completeness at a given end date as ratio between investigated and potential period. association FUI accuracy survival-estimates was investigated.FUI Kaplan-Meier estimates were calculated twice 1207 consecutive patients undergoing aortic repair during an 11-year period: in scenario A...
Background Aortic syndromes (ASs), including aortic dissection, intramural hematoma, and penetrating ulcer, carry significant acute long-term morbidity mortality. However, the contemporary incidence outcomes of AS are unknown. Methods Results We used Rochester Epidemiology Project record linkage system to identify all Olmsted County, MN, residents with (1995-2015). Diagnostic imaging, medical records, death certificates were reviewed confirm diagnosis subtype. Age- sex-adjusted rates...

There is no consensus regarding the terminology, definition, classification, diagnostic criteria, and algorithm, or reporting standards for disease of infective native aortic aneurysm (INAA), previously known as mycotic aneurysm. The aim this study was to establish by performing a study.The Delphi methodology used. Thirty-seven international experts were invited via mail participate. Four two week rounds performed, using an online questionnaire, initially with 22 statements nine items....
Low-profile endografts have reported increased rates of limb graft occlusions. The INCRAFT stent system is an ultra-low profile endograft for the exclusion infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. Our aim was to report thromboembolic events (TE) in patients treated with device and its association risk factors. A retrospective study performed 80 between February 2015 December 2022 at a single institution. All available imaging studies were reviewed by two reviewers independently. TE included...
OBJECTIVE Perioperative management of glucose levels remains challenging. We aimed to assess whether fully closed-loop subcutaneous insulin delivery would improve glycemic control compared with standard therapy in insulin-requiring patients undergoing elective surgery. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS performed a single-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial. Patients diabetes (other than type 1) surgery were recruited from various surgical units and randomly assigned using minimization...
Objective: This study examines outcome and durability of self made bovine pericardial tube grafts in aortic infections all anatomic locations.Methods: was a retrospective prospective international multicentre study.Perioperative long term outcomes patients undergoing situ reconstruction for native or graft with between January 2008 December 2020 four European tertiary referral centres were analysed.The primary endpoint recurrent infection.Secondary endpoints persistent infection, reoperation...
Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) are at risk for amputation. The aim of this study was to assess the type revascularization prior and 30-day mortality rate after major amputation due PAD.Retrospective analysis consecutive patients undergoing PAD between 01/2000 12/2017 a tertiary referral center. number target level ipsilateral revascularizations were analyzed per patient over years. There 3 types (open, endovascular combined treatment) levels: aortoiliac, femoropopliteal...
This Delphi study established a consensus document on infective native aortic aneurysm regarding overall management, surgical and antimicrobial treatment, follow up routines, duration of as well defining cure the disease.This was in order to support clinicians researchers dealing with this rare disease where evidence is lacking guide detailed supplement current guidelines.
Abstract Large thoracic and thoraco-abdominal aneurysms may compress adjacent mediastinal structures. We present a case of large aneurysm compressing the left atrium leading to functional mitral valve stenosis after total aortic arch repair, requiring urgent open repair.
There is a paucity of reporting outcomes complex aortic aneurysm treatment such as juxtarenal abdominal aneurysms, where additional techniques to preserve renal artery perfusion are required.Retrospective analysis consecutive patients who underwent emergent and elective repair with fenestrated PMEGs between March 2019 January 2023. Endpoints were technical success, reinterventions, secondary reinterventions target vessel patency.Forty-seven vessels in 37 (23 male, median age 75 years)...
Large language models and artificial intelligence (AI) based chatbots have brought new insights in healthcare, but they also raise major concerns. Their applications vascular surgery scarcely been investigated to date. This international survey aimed evaluate the perceptions feedback from surgeons on use of AI surgery. open e-survey comprised 50 items that covered participant characteristics, their surgery, user experience. The study was designed accordance with Checklist for reporting...
: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a severe condition with high risks of amputation and mortality, especially in patients distal crural or pedal artery disease. Despite advances endovascular techniques, bypass surgery remains crucial for CLTI. This study aimed to investigate amputation-free survival, Wound, Ischemia, foot Infection (WIfI) staging, Global Limb Anatomic Staging System (GLASS) classifications undergoing
Indications and techniques of repair for symptomatic or aneurysmal aberrant subclavian arteries (ASA) are controversial. This study analyses presentation, treatment outcome patients with and/or ASA.Retrospective analysis consecutive adult undergoing ASA between January 2000 June 2016.Of 12 (4 females) a median age 66 years (range 24-75), 10 had right 2 left originating from aortic arch.
