Carotid artery revascularization using second generation stents versus surgery: a meta-analysis of clinical outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: Meta-analytic integration of available clinical data indicates: 1) reduction in stroke but increased restenosis rate with Casper/Roadsaver, and 2) reduction in both stroke and restenosis with CGuard MicroNET-covered stent against contemporary CEA outcomes at 30 days and 12 months used as a reference. This may inform clinical practice in anticipation of large-scale randomized trials powered for low clinical event rates (PROSPERO-CRD42022339789).PMID:38385840 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12933-3 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Insight from an Italian Delphi Consensus on EVAR feasibility outside the instruction for use: the SAFE EVAR Study
CONCLUSIONS: The relatively low consensus rate obtained in this Delphi seems to confirm the discrepancy between Guideline recommendations and daily clinical practice. The data collected could represent the source for a possible guidelines' revision and the proposal of specific Good Practice Points in all those aspects with only little evidence available.PMID:38319647 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.23.12906-5 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Is a severe preoperative condition a contraindication for aortic valve-sparing reimplantation in type A aortic dissection?
CONCLUSIONS: Based upon our experience in the management of TAAD, a reimplantation procedure could be performed regardless preoperative malperfusion or shock, with an acceptable postoperative over mortality or morbidity. A word of caution should be brought to patients over 70 years old.PMID:38300164 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12638-9 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

The background and role of catheter-directed thrombolysis evolving procedures for acute iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis
This article will summarize the background and evolution of the procedures in the last three decades and discuss fundamental criteria for inclusion and exclusion, focusing on the procedures regarding thrombus age and location, technical issues, complications and results including different outcome measures for PTS, for which iliac DVT involvement is a massive risk factor to be prevented.PMID:38261268 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.23.12860-6 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)
