Development and evaluation of a prediction model for peripheral artery disease related major adverse limb events using novel biomarker data
Prognostic tools for individuals with peripheral artery disease (PAD) remain limited. We developed prediction models for 3-year PAD related major adverse limb events (MALE) using demographic, clinical, and biomarker data previously validated by our group. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Prospective randomized pilot trial comparing prophylactic vs therapeutic cerebrospinal fluid drainage during complex endovascular thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair
Endovascular techniques have transformed the management of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs). However, spinal cord ischemia (SCI) remains a prevalent and devastating complication. Prophylactic drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is among the proposed strategies for prevention of SCI. Although prophylactic CSF drainage is widely used and conceptually attractive, prophylactic CSF drains have not been demonstrated to definitively prevent the occurrence nor mitigate the severity of SCI in endovascular TAAA repair.

Prevalence, characteristics, evaluation, and management of carotid body tumors: Systematic analysis based on available evidence
Although carotid body tumors (CBTs) are rare, they attract particular attention because of their propensity for malignant transformation and the high surgical risk. Because data are scarce and as it is difficult to achieve a large sample size, no study has yet comprehensively analyzed the characteristics, management, or operative complications of CBTs. Therefore, we collected and analyzed all currently available information on CBTs and used the pooled data to derive quantitative information on disease characteristics and management.

Branched and fenestrated endovascular aortic arch repair in patients with native proximal aortic landing zone
Fenestrated and branched thoracic endovascular repair (f/bTEVAR) have been successfully applied in patients with diverse aortic arch pathologies. The aim of this study is to present the early and mid-term outcomes of patients with native proximal aortic landing (NPAL) managed with f/bTEVAR. (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Aortobifemoral bypass vs covered endovascular reconstruction of aortic bifurcation
Covered endovascular reconstruction of aortic bifurcation (CERAB) is increasingly used as a first line-treatment in patients with aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD). We sought to compare the outcomes of patients who underwent CERAB compared with the gold standard of aortobifemoral bypass (ABF). (Source: Journal of Vascular Surgery)

Vascular In-person for Students In the match Trial: An investigation of postinterview 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)
