Local Diameter, Wall Stress, and Thrombus Thickness Influence the Local Growth of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Conclusion: Diameter is not only a strong global predictor but also a local predictor of aneurysm growth. In addition, and independent of the diameter, the ILT thickness and wall stress (for the ILT-free wall) also influence the local growth rate. The high stress sensitivity of nondilated aortic walls suggests that wall stress peaks could initiate AAA formation. In contrast, local diameters and ILT thicknesses determine AAA growth for dilated and ILT-covered aortic walls. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Meta-analysis of Cumulative Radiation Duration and Dose During EVAR Using Mobile, Fixed, or Fixed/3D Fusion C-Arms
Conclusion: For equivalent fluoroscopy times, the use of a fixed C-arm in noncomplex procedures leads to higher patient radiation doses compared to a mobile C-arm. Complex procedures, which are predominantly performed using fixed C-arms, are associated with the highest radiation dose per intervention. Using fixed C-arms combined with 3D-IF techniques during complex cases might seem an adequate method to compensate for the higher radiation doses measured when a fixed C-arm is used.

A Systematic Review of Ultrasound or Magnetic Resonance Imaging Compared With Computed Tomography for Endoleak Detection and Aneurysm Diameter Measurement After Endovascular Aneurysm Repair
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that CEUS and MRI are more accurate than CTA for the detection of post-EVAR endoleaks, but they are no better than CTA for detecting types I and III endoleaks specifically. Aneurysm diameter differences between CTA and ultrasound should be considered when evaluating the change in aneurysm diameter postoperatively. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Operative and Midterm Outcomes of the Fenestrated Anaconda Stent-Graft in the Endovascular Treatment of Juxtarenal, Suprarenal, and Type IV Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Conclusion: FEVAR with the Anaconda device delivers satisfactory short-term technical and clinical success rates in patients with juxtarenal, suprarenal, and type IV TAAA. Midterm efficacy and durability with respect to aneurysm sac regression and target vessel patency appear very good. Overall mortality and the need for reintervention were significant in this patient cohort. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Challenging Anatomy Predicts Mortality and Complications After Endovascular Treatment of Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Conclusion: Long-term mortality and complications after rEVAR are associated with aneurysm anatomy. The role of adjunct endovascular techniques and the outcome of open repair in cases with challenging anatomy warrant further study. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Deformation of the Femoropopliteal Segment: Effect of Stent Length, Location, Flexibility, and Curvature
Conclusion: The deformation characteristics of the femoropopliteal segment change in the presence of a stent, with the change to the deformation behavior dependent on stent type, stent length, location, flexibility, and intrinsic centerline curvature. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Extravascular Revascularization of a Chronic Total Occlusion Using the Dual Bulls-Eye Technique
Conclusion: Owing to potential complications (limited patency, injury to adjacent structures) and only single-case use, this new technique should be considered a bailout strategy exclusively employed for limb salvage when traditional methods have failed and there are no viable surgical options.

Comparison of Transradial vs Transfemoral Access for Aortoiliac and Femoropopliteal Interventions: A Single-Center Experience
Conclusion: The transradial approach for aortoiliac and femoropopliteal interventions is safe and efficacious compared with the transfemoral approach for a range of lesion subtypes. Nevertheless, there remains a need for improvements in peripheral device and catheter technology to decrease transradial failure rates. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)
