The objective of these Guidelines was to revise and update the previous 2016 Italian on Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Disease, in accordance with National System (SNLG), guide every practitioner toward most correct management pathway for this pathology. methodology applied GRADE-SIGN version methodology, following instructions AGREE quality reporting checklist as well. first methodological step formulation clinical questions structured according PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison,...
The aim of this study was to investigate the early outcomes a novel off shelf pre-loaded inner branched thoraco-abdominal endograft (E-nside) in treatment aortic pathologies.Data from physician initiated national multicentre registry on patients treated with E-nside endograft, were prospectively collected and analysed. Pre-operative clinical anatomical characteristics, procedural data, (90 days) recorded dedicated electronic data capture system. primary endpoint technical success. Secondary...
The prevention of stroke and the correct treatment carotid artery stenosis represent today a major debate in cardiovascular medicine. Beside endarterectomy, angioplasty stenting is becoming more widely performed for severe obstructive disease, now accepted as less invasive technique that may provide an alternative selected patients, particularly those with significant comorbidities. An Italian multidisciplinary task force, which converged most representative scientific societies involved...
Purpose: To evaluate the incidence and reasons for secondary procedures in patients treated with iliac branch devices (IBDs) isolated aneurysm or aortoiliac aneurysms involving bifurcation. Methods: Between January 2005 December 2015, 575 surgical-high-risk (mean age 72.0±8.4 years; 558 men) (n=79) bifurcation (n=496) were placement of 650 ZBIS Gore IBDs (75 bilateral) 6 European centers. The primary outcome was procedure-related reinterventions occlusion high-grade (>70%) stenosis...
COVID-19 infection has been reported to be related with an increased risk of thrombotic complications because the hypercoagulability state and inflammation. At moment, no reports are available regarding thrombosis prosthetic vascular grafts. We present case a patient COVID-19-related pneumonia, who suffered from acute previously implanted aortic graft.A 67-year-old male patient, had undergone open repair abdominal aneurysm bifurcated graft 6 years before, was admitted emergency department...
This study aimed to compare two commercially available off the shelf branched endografts for thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair, namely E-nside (Artivion) and Zenith t-Branch (Cook Medical) devices.
Objective: A possible relationship between periodontitis and cardiovascular disease has been suggested. The aims of this controlled clinical study were: (i) to ascertain the presence periodontal bacteria DNA [ Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans , Fusobacterium nucleatum Porphyromonas gingivalis Prevotella intermedia Tannerella forsythensis (formerly Bacteroides forsythus )] in carotid atheromatous plaques (ii) assess concomitant same DNA, if any, pockets atheroma patient. Methods: total 52...
Head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGLs) are neural crest-derived tumors. In comparison with located in the abdomen chest, which generally catecholamine secreting (sPGLs) sympathetic origin, HNPGLs are, fact, parasympathetic origin nonsecreting. Overall, 79 consecutive patients HNPGL were examined for mutations SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, SDHAF2, VHL, MAX, TMEM127 genes by PCR/sequencing. According to a detailed family history (FH) clinical, laboratory (including metanephrines), instrumental...
Women with abdominal aortic aneurysms less often meet anatomic criteria for endovascular repair and experience worse perioperative long-term survival.We compared survival, aneurysm-related mortality, rates of endoleaks reinterventions between male female patients in the Endurant Stent Graft Natural Selection Global Postmarket Registry (ENGAGE) using 2:1 propensity score matching.There were 1130 133 patients, yielding 399 after matching (266 patients). Female older, smaller aneurysms, iliac...
