This article aims to present all aspects regarding patient selection, planning, and implantation technique for a new off-the-shelf pre-cannulated multi-inner branch stent graft. The graft comes in 4 different versions with proximal diameters of 33 38 mm distal 26 30 mm. inner branches are located the middle segment, which has diameter 24 mm.With technology, field application treatment thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) been further extended. In addition routine use elective cases...
To report the mid-term outcomes of fenestrated-branched endovascular aneurysm repair (F-BEVAR) following a failed previous (pEVAR) or open (pOAR).Data from consecutive patients who underwent F-BEVAR for pEVAR pOAR 2006 to 2021 17 European vascular centers were analyzed. Endpoints included technical success, major adverse events, 30-day mortality, and 5-year estimates survival, target vessel primary patency, freedom reinterventions, type I/III endoleaks, sac growth >5 mm.Treatment abdominal...
<h3>Background</h3> Aberrant subclavian artery (ASA) with or without Kommerell's diverticulum (KD) is a rare anatomic aortic arch anomaly that can cause dysphagia and/or life-threatening rupture. The objective of this study to compare outcomes ASA/KD repair in patients left versus right arch. <h3>Methods</h3> Using the Vascular Low Frequency Disease Consortium methodology, retrospective review was performed ≥18 years old surgical treatment from 2000 2020 at 20 institutions. <h3>Results</h3>...
Introduction: Popliteal artery aneurysms (PAA) are rare. Different surgical techniques for open repair possible. This study presents a single centre experience using with medial approach (MA) and outlines differences between symptomatic (SLS) asymptomatic (ALS) legs. Methods: Data collection was performed retrospectively. The investigation period from 1 January 1996 to 2013. Patients presented in the Outpatient Department received questionnaire concerning their quality of life. as mean ±...
Objective: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for type B dissection (TBAD) aims to induce false lumen (FL) thrombosis by sealing intimal tears between the true (TL) and FL, blocking inflow into FL. Incomplete of FL is correlated with poor clinical outcome. We hypothesize that number major minor branches arising from affects patency may negatively influence TEVAR induced thrombosis. Methods: Computed tomography (CT)-scans 89 patients diagnosed TBAD [best medical treatment (BMT) n =...
This study analyzed the patient outcomes following endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) for infrarenal pathologies with very narrow bifurcations using AFX stent graft.The data was retrieved from archived medical records of 35 patients treated abdominal (AAA) (48.6%) or penetrating ulcer (PAU) (51.4%) bifurcation between January 2013 and May 2020. Patient survival, freedom endoleak (EL), limb occlusion were estimated applying Kaplan-Meier method.The mean follow-up time 20.4 ± 22.8...
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is the preferred treatment for complicated type B dissection (TBAD) or intramural hematoma (IMH). This study aimed to investigate association of proximal landing zone and its morphology with long-term outcomes in patients TBAD IMH. A total 94 who underwent TEVAR IMH between 10/2003 01/2020 were included. The cohort was divided according Ishimaru 2 3 presence a healthy (HLZ; non-dissected aneurysmatic, ≥2 cm length). Primary outcome freedom from...
Background: For (thoracic) endovascular aortic repair ((T)EVAR) procedures, both mobile (standard operating room (SOR)) and fixed C-arm (hybrid (HOR)) systems are available. This study evaluated differences in key procedural parameters, success for (T)EVAR the SOR versus HOR. Methods: All patients who underwent standard elective at Clinic Vascular Endovascular Surgery University Hospital Duesseldorf, Germany, between 1 January 2012 2019 were included. Data retrieved from archived medical...
Objective We assessed outcomes of open surgical venous thrombectomy with temporary arteriovenous fistula, and the procedure’s effect on health-related quality life. Method retrospectively analyzed 48 (26 at long-term) patient medical records. Mortality rates, patency, risk post-thrombotic syndrome were using Kaplan–Meier estimation. The association between factors/coagulation disorders patency/post-thrombotic along life long-term was employing various statistical methods. Results Patient...
To compare open versus endovascular left subclavian artery debranching for thoracic aortic repair of pathologies.This is a retrospective study patients receiving in our institution from October 2009 to January 2020. The primary outcome was freedom reintervention. Secondary outcomes were type I endoleaks, (LSA) failure, stroke, technical or clinical success, procedure-related reintervention, as well 30-day overall all-cause and aorta-related mortality.Forty-eight received parallel graft-based...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a rare disease. Open treatment (OT) remains valuable option. We analyzed patient outcomes after OT and investigated health-related quality of life (HRQoL). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Data were retrospectively. The investigation period was from January 1, 2001, to December 31, 2014. mortality patency rates using Kaplan-Meier analysis. HRQoL measured 36-item health survey. Various...
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is the first-line therapy in acute complicated type B dissections (cTBAD). Nevertheless, no evidence-based consensus on optimal measurement technique and sizing for TEVAR cTBAD exists. The aim was to evaluate how different techniques affect long-term outcomes.Retrospective analysis investigating association between postoperative results after patients with cTBAD, treated January 2003 December 2020. Diameter measurements were performed perpendicular...
Single-center retrospective cohort study to evaluate the impact of oral anticoagulation (OAC) on long-term outcomes conservatively managed acute type B aortic dissection.Clinical and morphological data eligible patients from a high-volume vascular centre 1 January 2003 through 31 December 2020 were evaluated. Patients excluded for: A or non-A-non-B dissection, isolated abdominal intramural haematoma connective tissue disease. The primary outcome was freedom late events (intervention, rupture...
