Epub 2024 Apr 12.ABSTRACTThe elephant trunk procedure, an endovascular strategy for retrograde type A acute aortic dissection, is associated with several complications, hemolytic anemia being a rare one. We performed endovascular stent-graft insertion in a patient who developed hemolytic anemia. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) detected turbulent jet flow and stenosis position, which was not detected by angiography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). This imaging technique proved effective for malperfusion diagnosis and enabled us to confirm it...

The Association Between Frailty and Outcomes Following Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair
Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is a less invasive method than the more physiologically stressful open surgical repair (OSR) for patients with anatomically appropriate abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Early postoperative outcomes are associated with both patients ’ physiologic reserve and the physiologic stresses of the surgical intervention. Among frail patients with reduced physiologic reserve, the stress of an aortic rupture in combination with the stress of an operative repair are less well tolerated, raising the risk of complications and mortality.

Creation of a shared medical decision support tool for the management of abdominal aortic aneurysms
Patients with an unruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) at the surgical threshold may benefit from aneurysmal exclusion either by open surgery or endovascular repair. A patient decision aid (PtDA) could be useful to help patients and their surgeons choose between the two techniques. The aim of this study was to develop a shared medical decision support tool, in french language, for the surgical treatment of AAA. (Source: Annals of Vascular Surgery)
