Preoperative Risk Factors for 1-year Mortality in Patients Undergoing Fenestrated Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair in the US-Aortic Research Consortium
Early survival (1-year) following elective repair of complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) can be utilized as an indicator of successful repair and provides a reasonable countermeasure to the annual rupture risk based on diameter. We aimed to identify preoperative factors associated with 1-year mortality following F/BEVAR and develop a predictive model for 1-year mortality based on patient-specific risk-profiles.

Successful chimney endovascular aortic repair with reconstruction of three visceral branches for huge saccular juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm after trans-thoracoabdominal esophagectomy
Conventional graft replacement for a juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (JRAAA) remains challenging for high-risk patients since it often requires the reconstruction of some visceral arteries. (Source: Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery)

Infrarenal Aortic Aneurysm in a Patient with Remote History of Liver Transplant with Aorto-Hepatic Conduit
A 72-year-old male with a past medical history of hypertension, peripheral artery disease, and cadaveric liver transplant twenty-seven years prior for hepatitis C induced liver failure was found to have an asymptomatic ten cm infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) during a CT scan for evaluation of genitourinary symptoms (Image A, Video 1). Notably, the Dacron aorto-hepatic conduit used for the transplant came off mid-aneurysm, making any method of repair especially challenging (Image B/Cover). (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Vertical Mesh-Mediated Fascial Traction and Negative Pressure Wound Therapy: A Case Series of Nine Patients in General and Vascular Surgery
CONCLUSION: The standardized combination of VMMFT and NPWT gave positive results in achieving DFC in our heterogenic patient group. Following a strict treatment pathway as shown here seems to improve OA outcome. It represents a promising further development of mesh-mediated fascial traction for OA treatment.PMID:38697136 (Source: Surgical Technology International)

Vascular Registries Contributing to VASCUNET Collaborative Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Outcome Projects: A Scoping Review
CONCLUSION: National vascular registries from nations participating in the VASCUNET collaborative AAA projects are largely comprehensive, with high case ascertainment rates and good quality data with internal quality assurance. This provides a template for new registries wishing to join the VASCUNET collaboration and a benchmark for future research.PMID:38697257 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejvs.2024.04.037 (Source: PubMed: Eur J Vasc Endovasc ...)

Post-dissection Thoraco-abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Managed with Fenestrated or Branched Endovascular Aortic Repair
CONCLUSION: Fenestrated or branched endovascular repairs in patients with PD-TAAA showed high technical success, with acceptable early mortality and MAE rates. The SCI rate was > 10%, despite CSFD use and staged procedures. Almost one-half of patients needed an unscheduled re-intervention within 24 months after f/bEVAR.PMID:38697255 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejvs.2024.04.041 (Source: PubMed: Eur J Vasc Endovasc ...)
