Identifying sex-related differences/variables associated with 30 day/1 year mortality in patients chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).Multicenter/retrospective/observational study. A database was sent to all the Italian vascular surgeries collect operated on for CLTI 2019. Acute lower-limb and neuropathic-diabetic foot are not included.One year. Data demographics/comorbidities, treatments/outcomes, were investigated.Information 2399 cases (69.8% men) from 36/143 (25.2%) centers. Median...
In the last decade, advances in surgical techniques, and introduction of adjuncts for organ protection, have modified approach thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair. The aim this study is to determine whether contemporary influenced outcomes.From 1989 2022, patients who had received elective open repair (OSR) TAAA at our institution were retrospectively analyzed. This series has been divided two groups: Group 1 (1989-2009), 2 (2010-2022). Patients included those treated with a...
ObjectiveManagement of follow-up protocols after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR), vary significantly between centres and is not standardized according to the sac regression. By designing an international expert-based Delphi consensus, study aimed create recommendations on EVAR evolution.MethodsEight facilitators created appropriate statements regarding topic that were voted, using a 4-point Likert scale, by selected panel experts three-round modified consensus process. Based experts'...
Chimney/snorkel endovascular aneurysm repair (Ch-EVAR) enables the minimally invasive treatment of abdominal aortic in anatomically challenging and high-risk surgical cases. Here, we present case a 77-year-old man with an associated crossed fused renal ectopia ectopic artery arising directly from sac. After successful implementation Ch-EVAR, computed tomography angiography at 18 months revealed no endoleaks, patency parallel graft, normal vascularization function. This report underscores...
We report our initial experience with total laparoscopic repeat aortic surgery between June 2002 and October 2003. There were 4 patients, 3 men 1 woman, ages 83, 67, 49, 61 years, respectively. First operations performed to treat aortoiliac occlusive disease. Repeat was indicated para-anastomotic aneurysms (n = 2) graft occlusion 2). All patients underwent surgery. no postoperative deaths. Only patient had complications that required complementary surgical treatment. alive patent...
Common femoral artery (CFA)-occlusive disease has traditionally been treated with open surgery, yet nowadays the frailty of patients induced to find new techniques revascularisation by endovascular means. So far, intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) shown promising results in several lower limbs arterial districts. The purpose this article is report our experience IVL for severely calcified peripheral (PAD) CFA.From November 2018 and October 2020, 10 consecutive (12 limbs) were prospectively...
Background: To investigate the effects of COVID-19 lockdowns on vasculopathic population. Methods: The Divisions Vascular Surgery southern Italian peninsula joined this multicenter retrospective study. Each received a 13-point questionnaire investigating hospitalization rate vascular patients in first 11 months pandemic and preceding months. Results: 27 out 29 Centers were enrolled. April-December 2020 (7092 patients) vs. 2019 (9161 patients): post-EVAR surveillance, for Rutherford category...
