Aorto-bifemoral bypass versus covered endovascular reconstruction of aortic bifurcation
Covered endovascular reconstruction of aortic bifurcation (CERAB) is increasingly utilized as a first line treatment in patients with aorto-iliac occlusive disease (AIOD). We sought to compare the outcomes of patients undergoing CERAB compared to the gold standard of aorto-bifemoral bypass (ABF). (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Vascular In-person for Students In the match Trial: An investigation of post-interview site visits to address the limitations of virtual interviews
The graduate medical education community implemented virtual residency interviews in response to travel restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, and this approach has persisted. Although many residency applicants wish to visit in person prospective training sites, such opportunities could bias programs toward those who are able to meet this financial burden, exacerbating equity concerns. One proposed solution is to offer applicants the opportunity to visit only after a program ’s rank list is “locked,” avoiding favoritism to applicants who visit, but allowing applicants to experience some of the camaraderie, geogra...

Comparative Outcomes of Open Mesenteric Bypass after a Failed Endovascular or Open Mesenteric Revascularization for Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia
Clinical practice guidelines have recommended an endovascular-first approach(ENDO) for management of patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia(CMI) while open mesenteric bypass(OMB) is proposed for subjects deemed to be poor ENDO candidates. However, the impact of a previous failed endovascular or open mesenteric reconstruction on subsequent OMB is unknown. Accordingly, this study was designed to examine the results of a remedial OMB(R-OMB) after a failed ENDO or primary OMB(P-OMB) for patients with recurrent CMI. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Comparison of Open Thoracoabdominal Repair for Chronic Aortic Dissections and Aneurysms
Aortic dissection is common in patients undergoing open surgical repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA). Most often, dissection is chronic and is associated with progressive aortic dilatation. Because contemporary outcomes in chronic dissection are not clearly understood, we compared patient characteristics and outcomes after open TAAA repair between patients with chronic dissection and those with non-dissection aneurysm.

Once again, the annual meeting of the Associate Faculty (AF) at the VEITHsymposium achieved its intended goals. Another record number of abstract submissions from many parts of the world was achieved. These abstracts, covering various topics in the diagnosis and management of vascular diseases, were distributed among several sessions to allow a more intimate discussion of the data presented among the moderators and the audience. The moderators were selected based on their great reputation as scholars and as expected they actively participated by asking insightful questions and making invaluable comments to the presenters. ...

Incorporation of Artificial Intelligence Into Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Care in a Tertiary Care Center
Early detection of asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is advocated to prevent aneurysm rupture. Standard screening using ultrasound can detect patients at risk. The ubiquitous utilization of cross-sectional imaging for various disease processes has resulted in increased detection of AAA as incidental findings. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithms can objectively detect a specific pathology and alert physicians. The aim of this study is to evaluate the utility of an AI-based algorithm in the management of patients with AAA. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)
