Treatment of Femoropopliteal Artery Disease with Polymer-Coated Drug-Eluting Stent: 5-Year Results of a Prospective, Non-Randomized Study Including the Halo Phenomenon
ConclusionsThe presented patient cohort treated with the Eluvia DES for femoropopliteal artery lesions indicates durable efficacy and a good safety profile regardless of the halo phenomenon. The results need to be confirmed in a larger patient cohort.Level of Evidence IIINon-randomized controlled cohort/follow-up study.Graphical Abstract (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)

CIRSE Standards of Practice on Management of Endoleaks Following Endovascular Aneurysm Repair
AbstractBackgroundEndoleaks represent the most common complication after EVAR. Some types are associated with ongoing risk of aneurysm rupture and necessitate long-term surveillance and secondary interventions.PurposeThis document, as with all CIRSE Standards of Practice documents, will recommend a reasonable approach to best practices of managing endoleaks. This will include imaging diagnosis, surveillance, indications for intervention, endovascular treatments and their outcomes. Our purpose is to provide recommendations based on up-to-date evidence, updating the guidelines previously published on this topic in 2013.Metho...

Predictors of Good Clinical Outcome After Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke due to Tandem Lesion in Anterior Circulation: Results from the ASCENT Study
ConclusionAdmission glycemia, start of DAPT within 12  h and statin therapy within 24 h after EVT, and stent patency within the first 30 days after EVT were found as other predictors of good three-month clinical outcome in AIS patients treated with EVT for TL.Graphical Abstract (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)

Use of Polyurethane-Covered Stents for Exclusion of Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations
ConclusionExclusion of PAVMs with polyurethane-covered stents is technically feasible, safe, and shows short-term effectiveness for PAVMs with a short/tortuous feeding artery when traditional embolization techniques are not possible.Graphical Abstract (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)

Cumulative Effective Dose During Fluoroscopically Guided Interventions (FGI): Analysis of More Than 5000 FGIs in a Single European Center
ConclusionsSubstantial CED may occur in a small but not ignorable fraction of patients (~  3%) undergoing FGIs. Approximately 2/3rd of patients may most likely not encounter radiation-related stochastic effects due to life-threatening diseases and age at first treatment >  65 years but 1/3rd may. Patients undergoing more than one FGI (77%) carry a higher risk of accumulating effective doses >  100 mSv. Remarkably, 23% received a mean CED 162.2 ± 72.3 mSv in a single procedure.

National UK Survey of Radiation Doses During Endovascular Aortic Interventions
ConclusionThe development of DRLs is pertinent to EAR procedures as the first step to optimise the radiation risks to patients and staff while maintaining the highest patient care and paving the way for steps to reduce radiation exposures. (Source: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology)
