Implications and Late Outcomes of Type II Endoleaks After Endovascular Aneurysm Repair
Type II endoleaks (T2EL) are the most common cause of reintervention after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). While most resolve spontaneously, the long-term implications of T2EL remain elusive. We aim to evaluate the impact of persistent and late T2EL on clinical outcomes after EVAR. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Estimation of patient doses and cancer risk to patients during EVAR procedures
ConclusionsThe study has estimated radiation dose and risk associated with typical EVAR procedures and determined normalized organ and effective doses. The dosimetric data was comparable with other studies reported. The dose conversion coefficient for organ and effective doses determined in this study may be used considering the procedure conditions from the study. (Source: Health and Technology)

The steerable sheath revolution
The authors are to be congratulated for a well-conducted study1 reporting prospectively monitored data, confirming that transfemoral (TF) access is associated with better outcomes compared to upper extremity (UE) access during fenestrated and branched endovascular repair (FBEVAR). The authors acquired a high number of cases with UE access as there was the initial general belief that access from above (possibly facilitated by using preloaded catheters) could decrease number of failed catheterizations, especially for downward-facing target vessels (TVs), and improve technical success.

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)

Efficacy of intentional undersized thoracic endovascular repair for Stanford type B aortic dissection
Thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) is widely used for the treatment of aortic dissection. Endograft oversizing is a risk factor for stent graft –induced new entry tears and retrograde type A aortic dissection. However, there is no clear consensus on the optimal graft size selection for Stanford type B acute or subacute aortic dissection (TBAD). Herein, we examined the safety and efficacy of TEVAR using an intentionally undersized endograf t to treat TBAD. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Novel insights into thoracic endografts technology for prevention of distal stent-graft induced new entry (dSINE) following endovascular repair of type B aortic dissections: from bench to bedside
Expert Rev Med Devices. 2024 Apr 17. doi: 10.1080/17434440.2024.2343824. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Endovascular treatment of type B aortic dissections (TBAD) has currently acquired a primary therapeutic role when anatomically feasible. The main issue with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for aortic dissection is the actual nature of the aortic wall, which is structurally compromised and more fragile. Indeed, a wealth of data have shown that TEVAR for TBAD will lead, in a substantial proportion of cases, to a device-related adverse event named distal stent-graft induced new entry (dSINE).AREAS C...
