Systematic review and meta-analysis of incidence, indications, and outcomes of early open conversions after EVAR for abdominal aortic aneurysms
CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of EOC seems to decrease over time. Causes of EOC were mainly related to access problems and incorrect positioning of the endograft. Most of the EOC were performed intraoperatively carrying a high mortality rate.PMID:38502543 | DOI:10.23736/S0392-9590.24.05153-8 (Source: International Angiology)

Clinical risk factors and features on computed tomography angiography in high-risk carotid artery plaque in patients with type 2 diabetes
CONCLUSIONS: A high prevalence of HRP (67%) was observed in asymptomatic and elderly T2D patients. Independent predictors of HRP were diabetic complications, NASCET stenosis ≥75% and carotid RIM sign (OR 4.3, 95% CI: 3.9-7.3, P<0.001). HRP was not associated with an increased risk of MACE during a mean follow-up of 39±24 years.PMID:38470152 | DOI:10.23736/S0392-9590.24.05154-X (Source: International Angiology)

Endovascular aneurysm repair under local anesthesia through bilateral percutaneous femoral access is a safe strategy to improve early outcomes and reduce hospital stay
CONCLUSIONS: EVAR performed under local anesthesia has a significantly better impact on early results when compared to general anesthesia. Combining percutaneous bilateral femoral access to local anesthesia reduced procedural times, ICU stays and consequently improved early results.PMID:38454886 | DOI:10.23736/S0392-9590.24.05134-4 (Source: International Angiology)
