Development of an Algorithm for the Choice of Treatment Tactics in Patients with Atherosclerotic Lesions of the Lower Limbs Arteries
Introduction: According to various sources, atherosclerosis of the lower limb arteries occurs in 3% – 20% of patients over 50 years of age. However, the proposed recommendations are based solely on the severity of ischaemia of the lower extremities and the characteristics of atherosclerotic lesions according to diagnostic methods of research and do not account for the presence and severity of co ncomitant pathology, which increases the risk of both acute cardiovascular events and incomplete revascularisation in patients with severe concomitant pathology.

Carotid Endarterectomy with Patch Angioplasty versus Primary Closure in Patients with Symptomatic and Significant Stenosis: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analyses and Trial Sequential Analysis of Randomised Clinical Trials
Introduction: Patch angioplasty in conventional carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is suggested to reduce the risk of restenosis and recurrent ipsilateral stroke, compared to primary closure. A systematic review of randomised clinical trials is needed to compare the outcomes (benefits and harms) of both techniques. (Source: EJVES Extra)

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Sac Alteration Depending on Initial Diameter, Endograft Material, and Presence of Endoleak Type II
Introduction: Aortic aneurysm sac expansion is a factor associated with higher re-intervention and long term mortality rates after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). However, aneurysm sac regression is a desirable outcome after EVAR. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of initial aneurysm sac diameter, endograft material, and presence of endoleak II on aneurysm sac diameter alteration during the first year of follow up after EVAR.

Identifying a Big Implementation Gap in Simulation Based Education in Vascular Surgery in Europe: The VASSIM Study
Introduction: The need for simulation based education (SBE) in vascular surgery has been growing in strength over recent years, parallel with a shift from open to endovascular surgery and a change in work hour legislation. In 2018, a general needs assessment (GNA-2018) identified and prioritised a list of technical procedures to guide the development of future SBE in vascular surgical training. The next step is to ensure that these procedures are developed into training programmes to meet the needs of vascular surgical trainees in Europe. (Source: EJVES Extra)

Factors Associated with the Loss of Limb Based Patency After Distal Bypass Using the Global Limb Anatomic Staging System
Introduction: The Global Vascular Guidelines propose a novel Global Anatomic Staging System (GLASS) with the Wound, Ischemia, and foot Infection classification system as a clinical decision making tool for revascularisations in chronic limb threatening ischaemia. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with the loss of limb based patency (LBP) after distal bypass according to GLASS. (Source: EJVES Extra)
