Two-year follow-up after treatment of an aortic transection in the presence of an aberrant right subclavian artery
CONCLUSIONS: In emergency settings, primary cover of both subclavian arteries with a stentgraft can be performed in individual cases after risk assessment. Severe complications such as development of upper limb ischaemia, ASAS or reduced perfusion of the posterior cerebral circulation should be considered in treatment planning.PMID:36384358 | DOI:10.1177/17085381221135704 (Source: Vascular)

Impact of socioeconomic disparities on major lower extremity revascularization complications
CONCLUSION: While socioeconomic factors impact access to and have a known association with negative outcomes, complications in patients with PAD appear to be independent of these factors. To mitigate the negative outcomes in patients with peripheral artery disease, a focus should be on patient risk factors and modifiable medical factors that contribute to adverse outcomes.PMID:36384373 | DOI:10.1177/17085381221140165 (Source: Vascular)

Physiological and clinical impact in the carotid baroreceptor function following the surgical management of bilateral carotid body tumors
CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative autonomic assessment confirmed BRF in all studied patients that underwent staged bilateral CBT resection with mixed, sympathetic, and parasympathetic dysfunction. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the incidence and physiological mechanisms of these sequelae to anticipate possible complications and offer the appropriate perioperative management.PMID:36394214 | DOI:10.1177/17085381221140167 (Source: Vascular)

Embolic protection devices for carotid artery stenting: A network meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: PB deployment during CAS is superior to DF and DB in preventing distal embolization phenomena. However, no statistically significant difference in TIA and stroke rate was found among any of the analyzed EPD groups. Further research is warranted to investigate the association of embolic phenomena on imaging after CAS with clinically significant neurologic deficits.PMID:36394946 | DOI:10.1177/17085381221140616 (Source: Vascular)

Open versus endovascular repair of primary infected thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms
Vascular. 2022 Nov 17:17085381221140173. doi: 10.1177/17085381221140173. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOBJECTIVE: Primary infected aortic aneurysms are life-threatening if not treated promptly, but still possess a high mortality rate following open repair. The goal of treatment is to prevent rupture and clear infection. An endovascular approach is accepted as a bridge to definitive open repair. Our study compares the outcomes of endovascular versus conventional open repair of infected aortic aneurysms.METHOD: A single-center retrospective review was conducted of data from January 2012 to December 2021. Patients were catego...

Evaluation of the association between the internal carotid artery and vertebral artery tortuosity and acute ischemic stroke using tortuosity index
CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that tortuosity of extracranial portions of the internal carotid and vertebral artery could be an independent imaging predictor of acute ischemic stroke in anterior and posterior circulation territories, respectively.PMID:36395481 | DOI:10.1177/17085381221140163 (Source: Vascular)

Achilles tendon thickness normalized to body surface area as a marker of asymptomatic peripheral arterial disease
CONCLUSION: An increase in ATT/BSA >0.29 cm/m2 predicted the presence of asymptomatic PAD with a sensitivity of 61.1% and a specificity of 77.9%. ATT/BSA values of less than 0.29 cm/m2 made it possible to exclude asymptomatic PAD with a probability of 97.5%. An increase in ATT/BSA >0.29 cm/m2 was associated with a 4.11-fold increase in the OR of asymptomatic PAD (95% CI 1.08-15.7).PMID:36395485 | DOI:10.1177/17085381221140621 (Source: Vascular)
