Socioeconomic Status Based on Area Deprivation Index Does not Affect Postoperative Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair in the VA Healthcare System
Research has validated the Area Deprivation Index (ADI) as a measure of socioeconomic disadvantage with a higher score associated with lower socioeconomic status. ADI has been scaled relative to geographic region: local ADI (L-ADI; score 1 to 10) and national ADI (N-ADI; score 1 to 100). We set forth to identify possible associations ADI score and post-operative outcomes after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in a VHA hospital. (Source: Annals of Vascular Surgery)

Sex Related Differences in Perioperative Outcomes After Complex Endovascular Aneurysm Repair
Studies suggest female sex is associated with worse outcomes after complex EVAR due to anatomic differences. Therefore, we aimed to compare 30-day perioperative outcomes after complex EVAR by sex. (Source: Annals of Vascular Surgery)

Large-Diameter Fenestrated Endograft Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Is Not Associated With Medium-Term Outcomes
Recent data suggests that infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) endovascular repair (EVAR) with large diameter grafts (LGs) may have a higher risk of endoleak and reintervention. However, this has not been studied extensively for fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (fEVAR). We, therefore, sought to evaluate the outcomes of patients undergoing fEVAR with large-diameter endografts. (Source: Journal of Surgical Research)

Insight from an Italian Delphi Consensus on EVAR feasibility outside the instruction for use: the SAFE EVAR Study
CONCLUSIONS: The relatively low consensus rate obtained in this Delphi seems to confirm the discrepancy between Guideline recommendations and daily clinical practice. The data collected could represent the source for a possible guidelines' revision and the proposal of specific Good Practice Points in all those aspects with only little evidence available.PMID:38319647 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.23.12906-5 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)
