Uncomplicated acute type B aortic dissection (AD) treated conservatively has a 10% 30-day mortality and up to 25% need intervention within 4 years. In complicated AD, stent grafts have been encouraging. The aim of the present prospective randomised trial was compare best medical treatment (BMT) with BMT Gore TAG graft in patients uncomplicated AD. primary endpoint combination incomplete/no false lumen thrombosis, dilatation, or rupture at 1 year.The AD history had be less than 14 days,...
Background— Mycotic aortic aneurysm (MAA) is a rare and life-threatening disease. The aim of this European multicenter collaboration was to study the durability endovascular repair (EVAR) MAA, by assessing late infection–related complications long-term survival. Methods Results— All EVAR treated MAAs, between 1999 2013 at 16 centers, were retrospectively reviewed. One hundred twenty-three patients with 130 MAAs identified. Mean age 69 years (range 39–86), 87 (71%) men, 58 (47%) had...
Case and single center reports have documented the feasibility suggested effectiveness of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (RAAAs), but role value such treatment remain controversial.To clarify these we examined a collected experience with use EVAR for RAAA from 49 centers.Data were obtained by questionnaires centers, updated 13 centers committed to whenever possible included details information on 1037 patients treated 763 open (OR).Overall 30-day...
To review the incidence, clinical presentation, definite management and 1-year outcome in patients with aorto-oesophageal fistulation (AOF) following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).International multicentre registry (European Registry of Endovascular Aortic Repair Complications) between 2001 2011 a total caseload 2387 TEVAR procedures (17 centres).Thirty-six median age 69 years (IQR 56-75), 25% females 9 (19%) previous surgery were identified. The incidence AOF entire cohort...
To relate changing abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) morphology after endovascular grafting to the presence of leakage, collateral perfusion, and other factors.Thirty-five patients who underwent successful AAA were evaluated. Self-expanding Z-stents Dacron grafts applied in bifurcated aortomonoiliac systems. Postoperative diameter changes calculated from repeated spiral computed tomographic scans, angiograms, ultrasonic phase-locked echo-tracking scans during a median 6-month follow-up...
To investigate if stents with hooks and barbs will improve stent-graft fixation in the abdominal aorta.Sixteen- to 24-mm-diameter Dacron grafts were deployed inside cadaveric aortas. The anchored by as endovascular aortic aneurysm repair. One hundred thirty-seven deployments carried out modified self-expanding Z-stents (A) no (n = 75), (B) 4 5-mm-long 39), (C) 8 10-mm-long, strengthened 19), or (D) only 4). Increasing longitudinal traction was applied determine displacement force needed...
