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)

Patients Treated for Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Have Fewer Hospital-Free Days When Undergoing Open Repair or Treated at Low Volume Hospitals
Patient-centric outcomes are poorly utilized for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) repair. Hospital-free days (HFD) describes the number of days alive outside a hospital or emergency department (ED) following repair and is an emerging surrogate marker for functional independence. We explored HFD as an outcome metric in patients with RAAA and determined factors associated with HFD. (Source: Annals of Vascular Surgery)

Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic IVC Filter Removal: A Small Institutional Review
Tertiary referral centers often encounter difficult inferior vena cava (IVC) filter retrievals and multiple endovascular techniques have been described to successfully remove them. Conventional alternative options include laparotomy with open cavotomy. Vascular robotic surgery, although previously described, is not widely available and an evolving field for most hospitals. Our institution offers robotic surgery as an alternative surgical intervention to remove difficult to retrieve filters after multiple unsuccessful endovascular attempts.

Quality of Life and Ambulation Outcomes in Acute Limb Ischemia Patients
Quality of life (QoL) assessment is critical for shared decision making in patients with critical limb ischemia but has been poorly studied in acute limb ischemia (ALI). We sought to assess patient-centered outcomes in ALI using the European QoL 5D-5L and the VascuQoL-6 surveys. (Source: Annals of Vascular Surgery)

Sex-Specific Risk Model for the Development of Peripheral Arterial Disease With Immediate Integration Capabilities in Current Institutional Electronic Medical Records
We sought to develop a risk model to predict the development of PAD that can be incorporated into to the EMR. Given the differential impact of PAD risk factors on men vs women, we sought to develop separate models to increase the predictive rate of screening programs. (Source: Annals of Vascular Surgery)

Using Vascular Deserts as a Guide for Limb Preservation Outreach Programs Successfully Targets Underserved Populations
Vascular deserts, regions without vascular providers, previously described targets for limb salvage efforts. Using desert maps, CHAMPIONS programs (Comprehensive Heart and Multidisciplinary Limb Preservation Outreach Networks) targeted regions for outreach and evaluated the population.

Early Transplantation or Conversion to Peritoneal Dialysis After First Time AV Access Creation
Hemodialysis (HD) is ideally a bridge to kidney transplantation; however, for many it is destiny therapy due to long transplant waiting times. A subset of patients will convert to peritoneal dialysis (PD). Our goal was to identify patient factors associated with early cessation of HD by either transplantation or conversion to PD.
