Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the midterm outcomes fenestrated and branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) pararenal (PRA) thoracoabdominal aneurysms (TAAAs). Summary Background Data: FB-EVAR has been associated with decreased morbidity compared open repair, but there is limited data. Methods: A total 430 patients (302 males, mean age 74 ± 8 years) treated by were enrolled in a prospective, nonrandomized investigational device exemption study. Endpoints included...
Purpose: To evaluate the incidence and outcomes of cerebral embolic events when using right (RUE) vs left upper extremity (LUE) access for fenestrated/branched endovascular aneurysm repair (f/bEVAR). Materials Methods: A retrospective review was conducted 290 consecutive patients enrolled in a physician-sponsored Investigational Device Exemption study to f/bEVAR between 2013 2018. Of these, 270 (93%) had an with 12-F sheaths, including 205 (mean age 75±8 years; 147 men) LUE 65 73±8 42 RUE...
To assess the impact of secondary intervention (SI) on health-related quality life (HR-QOL) after fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) for complex abdominal aneurysms and thoracoabdominal aneurysms.The effect SI FB-EVAR physical mental HR-QOL has not been described.A cohort 430 consecutive patients enrolled in a prospective, nonrandomized study to evaluate (2013-2020) was assessed with 1325 short-form 36 questionnaires preoperatively during follow-up visits. SIs were...
PURPOSE : To evaluate and compare clinical inflammatory responses to the surgical trauma caused by cholecystectomy via several access approaches: single-port umbilical incision (SILS), transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), laparoscopy, Laparotomy. METHODS Twenty-eight female pigs were equally divided into four groups submitted incision, NOTES, or An additional five animals served as controls (sham group). Animals monitored perioperatively regarding anesthesia...
Objective: Percutaneous femoral artery access is being increasingly used in endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). The technique can be challenging patients with previously surgically exposed or repaired arteries because of excessive scar tissue. However, a successful percutaneous approach may cause less morbidity than “re-do” open approach. aim this study was to assess the impact prior surgical exposure on technical success and clinical outcomes Methods: This retrospectively reviewed data who...
Abstract Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a late complication that does not have cure yet, with prevalence estimated between 20 to 75%, associated previous deep vein thrombosis event. Although the Villalta score (VS) gold-standard clinical tool for diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of PTS, there are currently no VS intra-rater agreement established validation studies VS’ application into Brazilian Portuguese. We sought translate validate reliability systematically; and, secondarily,...
Fenestrated branched endovascular aortic repair with custom manufactured devices (CMDs) has been applied to treat post-dissection thoraco-abdominal aneurysms (TAAA), but the long waiting period for device manufacture limits its application in symptomatic or contained ruptured aneurysms.A 59 year old female presented a 7 cm chronic extent II TAAA. The patient underwent first stage total arch elephant trunk technique. At time of initial placement thoracic stent graft fenestration was created...
Purpose: Common celiomesenteric trunk (CMT) is a rare anatomical variation that occurs in 0.5% to 3.4% of the general population. Its presence may complicate planning and implantation fenestrated branched stent-grafts because wide diameter short length CMT its bifurcation does not allow sufficient sealing for placement bridging stents. Case Report: We report patient with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) treated by fenestrated-branched endovascular repair (FB-EVAR) using double kissing...
