Our goal was to evaluate results of endovascular aortic arch repair using the Relay Branch system.Forty-three patients with thoracic pathology involving have been treated system (Terumo Aortic, Sunrise, FL, USA) in 10 centres. We assessed in-hospital mortality, neurological injury, treatment success according current reporting standards and need for secondary interventions. In addition, outcome analysed underlying pathology: non-dissective disease versus residual dissection (RAD) (defined as...
To describe outcomes after elective and non-elective fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) for thoracoabdominal aneurysms (TAAAs).
BACKGROUND: Physician modified endografts (PMEGs) have been widely used in the treatment of complex abdominal aortic aneurysm and thoracoabdominal aneurysm, however, previous data are limited to small single center studies robust on safety effectiveness PMEGs lacking. We aimed perform an international multicenter study analyzing outcomes aneurysms aneurysms. METHODS: An single-arm cohort was performed elective, symptomatic, ruptured Variables were defined according Society for Vascular...
The selection of carotid atherosclerosis patients for surgery or stenting is a crucial task in disease management. In order to select only those symptomatic cases who need surgery, we have, this work, presented computer-aided diagnostic technique effectively classify and asymptomatic plaques from B-mode ultrasound images. We extracted several grayscale features that quantify the textural differences inherent manually delineated plaque regions selected most significant among these features....
ObjectiveTo report outcomes of urgent juxtarenal/pararenal aneurysms (J/P-AAAs) managed by off-the-shelf multibranched thoracoabdominal endografts (Cook, T-branch).MethodsIn this observational, multicenter, retrospective study, patients with J/P-AAAs treated endovascular repair T-branch in 23 European aortic centers, from 2013 to 2023, were analyzed. Contained rupture, presence related symptoms, and aneurysm diameter >70 mm considered as indication for repair. Technical success (TS), spinal...
Background and Purpose— Many processes involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis result modifications extracellular matrix. These changes not only determine mechanical stability atherosclerotic lesions but can directly or indirectly influence further development lesions. The purpose present study was to compare matrix composition human carotid plaques from symptomatic patients with those obtained without symptoms. Furthermore, related age were studied. Methods— Thirty removed by...
Echolucent carotid plaques have been associated with increased risk for stroke. Histological studies suggested that echolucent are hemorrhage- and lipid-rich, whereas echogenic characterized by fibrosis calcification. This is the first study to relate echogenicity plaque composition analyzed biochemically.Echogenicity of human was standardized high-definition ultrasound classified into echolucent, gray-scale median (GSM) <32 GSM > or =32. The biochemical assessed fast-performance liquid...
Carotid atherosclerosis is the main cause of brain stroke, which most common life-threatening neurological disease. Nearly all methods aiming at assessing risk plaque rupture are based on its characterization from 2-D ultrasound images, depends geometry, degree stenosis, and echo morphology (intensity texture). The computation these indicators is, however, usually affected by inaccuracy subjectivity associated with data acquisition operator-dependent image selection. To circumvent...
Abstract OBJECTIVES Spinal cord injury is detrimental for patients undergoing open or endovascular thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair. The aim of this survey and the modified Delphi consensus was to gather information on current practices standards in neuroprotection TAAA. METHODS Aortic Association conducted an international online neuromonitoring TAAA In a first round expert panel put together different aspects neuromonitoring. Based answers from survey, 18 questions were...
