Protagoras 3.0: feasibility of current fenestrated endografts and chimney technique for complex abdominal aortic aneurysms
CONCLUSIONS: Most of the patients treated by ChEVAR would have not been treated by first generation fenestrated stent graft. The current available fenestrated endografts, with lower profile and suitable also for angulated necks, increase the anatomical feasibility.PMID:38635286 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.13032-7 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Physician-modified versus chimney endografting for pararenal aortic aneurysms: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Ch-EVAR and physician-modified technology are safe with low 30-day mortality in elective settings for pararenal aortic aneurysms repair. No significant differences were seen between the two surgical methods regarding the early major adverse events rate. However, higher occlusion rate for the chimneys can be expected over time.PMID:38635285 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12995-3 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Impact of iliac access in elective and non-elective endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm
In conclusion, an accurate anatomical evaluation of iliac arteries during preoperative planning, materials availability, and skilled preparation to face iliac-related issues are crucial to address these challenges.PMID:38635284 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12987-4 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Sudden death syndrome in domestic ruminants: a review
AbstractThis review provides a comprehensive exploration of factors contributing to sudden death (SD) in ruminants, focusing on cattle, sheep, and goats. The definition of unexpected death varies based on the farming system. In intensive systems, constant surveillance enables rapid detection of diseases, while in extensive systems, irregular checks may result in finding animals dead after a prolonged illness. SD syndrome definitions vary; some involve clear clinical signs, while others consider acute death in apparently healthy animals. Various infectious causes of SD are discussed, including enterotoxemia, hemorrhagic bow...

One-stage or two-stage elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery and abdominal aortic aneurysm open repair in low and moderate cardiac surgical risk patients
CONCLUSION: Patients with CAD and AAA that need a concomitant surgical correction with CABG and an AAOR are uncommon in contemporary practice, given the advances in endovascular therapy. When indicated, one-stage surgery can be performed in patients with low cardiac surgical risk, proper patient selection plays a fundamental role and might be performed in experienced centers. However, two-staged surgeries at the same or different inpatient stay may be considered for asymptomatic AAA with close monitoring during the postoperative period. These findings can hold significance for addressing sociodemographic barriers in low an...

Successful Percutaneous Thoracic Duct Embolization for Chylothorax After Total Arch Replacement
This report documents successful treatment with percutaneous thoracic duct embolization for chylothorax after total arch replacement. A 69-year-old man underwent replacement of the aortic arch to treat a ruptured aortic aneurysm. After surgery, the left thoracic drain discharged 2,000 to 3,000 mL serosanguineous fluid per day, even though the patient took nothing orally and was administered subcutaneous octreotide therapy. On postoperative day 9, percutaneous thoracic duct embolization was performed, and the drain could be removed. The chylothorax did not recur, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 17.PMID:3...
