Purpose: To report the results of endovascular treatment iliac and complex aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) in a multicenter Italian registry. Materials Methods: A retrospective, multicenter, observational cohort study analyzed 713 patients (mean age 68±10 years; 539 men) with isolated lesions treated primary stenting between January 2015 December 2017. Indications for were claudication 406 (57%) critical limb ischemia 307 (43%). According to TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus II...
Objectives: To analyze the incidence and predictive factors of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) after elective standard endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) in a large recent, multicenter cohort. Materials Methods: This is multicenter, retrospective, financially unsupported physician-initiated observational cohort study. Between January 2018 March 2021, only patients treated with EVAR for infrarenal non-infected abdominal aneurysm were analyzed. Patients already on hemodialysis (HD)...
BACKGROUND: To estimate the impact of anesthetic conduct, alone and in combination with type femoral access, on early results after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).METHODS: A retrospective multicenter analysis patients undergoing elective standard EVAR at four academic centers was performed. Patients procedure through either local or general anesthesia were compared. Comparative subanalyses two groups performed for access to evaluate further outcomes.RESULTS: Five hundred twenty-four...
Background: Antiretroviral therapy has allowed a clear improvement in prognosis for HIV patients, but metabolic problems, such as dyslipidemia, remain. This can lead to the development of atheromatous plaques. Our study aims evaluate whether HIV-positive (HIV+) patients show higher myo-intimal media thickness (IMT) and plaques compared HIV-negative (HIV−) patients. Methods: To association between infection experienced vascular pathology, we performed cross-sectional study, observing 1006 380...
Purpose: Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is currently expanding its feasibility thanks to design innovations, but hostile proximal necks and narrow iliac arteries are still a constraint, as expressed by the Instructions for Use (IFU) of most devices. Our aim report preliminary results E-Tegra endograft in infrarenal abdominal aneurysms (AAAs) performed 15 high-volume centers. Materials Methods: The e-Tegra Italian endoGraft REgistry (TIGRE) prospectively maintained database consecutive...
A narrowed patent aortic lumen (<25 mm) represents a challenging scenario frequently observed during thoraco-abdominal and abdominal pathologies involving the visceral vessels. The paper aims to describe characteristics of novel tapered-shape inner-branched custom-made stent-graft designed specifically address its applicability in wider spectrum scenarios at reno-visceral segment.
To analyze outcomes following endovascular treatment of total occlusion the infrarenal aorta and aorto-iliac bifurcation in a multicenter Italian registry.It is multicenter, retrospective, observational cohort study. From January 2015 to December 2018, 1306 interventions for occlusive disease were recorded vascular registry. For this analysis, only patients treated included. Early (<30 days) primary interest technical success mortality. Late major secondary patency freedom from conversion...
Objective: To report on the recommendations of an expert-based consensus indications, timing, and techniques aortic balloon occlusion (ABO) in management ruptured abdominal aneurysms (rAAA). Methods: Eleven facilitators created appropriate statements regarding study issues that were voted using a 4-point Likert scale with open-comment fields, by selected panel international experts (vascular surgeons interventional radiologists) 3-round modified Delphi procedure (study period: January-April...
To document the recovery of vascular services in Europe following first COVID-19 pandemic peak.An online structured service survey with repeated data entry between 23 March and 9 August 2020 was carried out. Unit level were collected using questionnaires addressing modifications to during peak (March - May 2020, "period 1"), then again June ("period 2") July 3"). The duration each period similar. From 2 June, as reductions cases began be reported, centres asked if they a region still...
Abstract OBJECTIVES To evaluate gender-related outcomes during endovascular treatment of thoracic and thoraco-abdominal aortic diseases (TEVAR). METHODS Multicentre, retrospective, observational cohort study. All TEVARs between January 2005 April 2023 were identified. Primary 30-day mortality, cumulative survival. Secondary vascular access complications, freedom from TEVAR-related reintervention. Interventions performed in male patients matched to females on the basis a one-to-one coarsened...
