Endovascular stenting techniques for blunt carotid injury
CONCLUSIONS: We practice selective endovascular intervention, stenting lesions that are flow-limiting or have large or rapidly expanding pseudoaneurysms, and only in patients for whom anticoagulation and antiplatelet agents are not contraindicated. As technology and investigation progress, the concerns regarding the safety and the role of endovascular intervention in the treatment of BCI will be more clearly defined.PMID:37499267 | DOI:10.1177/17085381231193062 (Source: Vascular)

AFX unibody stent graft: Effective and safe for the treatment of severe aorto-iliac occlusive disease
CONCLUSIONS: Primary, assisted primary and secondary patency rates of AFX stent-grafts, when used to treat aorto-iliac occlusive disease, are high. This study supports the use of the AFX stent-graft for the endovascular treatment of complex aorto-iliac occlusive disease as an alternative to other endovascular options as well as a safe alternative to open aorto-iliac or aorto-femoral bypass in patients who are at high risk for open procedures.PMID:37499688 | DOI:10.1177/17085381231192686 (Source: Vascular)

A systematic review of simulation training for lower extremity bypass procedures
CONCLUSION: Most of the existing studies are at level 2 of Kirkpatrick's model which reflects learning changes in trainees after simulation. Feedback mechanism needs to be evolved where the improvement after simulation training can be gauged by its replication in clinical practice and improved patient care practices corresponding to the highest level of Kirkpatrick's model.PMID:37494569 | DOI:10.1177/17085381231192689 (Source: Vascular)

Use of steerable sheaths for complex aortic procedures
CONCLUSION: Steerable sheaths designed for cardiac electrophysical applications, like the HSS Introducer, can be successfully utilised for cannulation of challenging target vessels in a wide range of aortic endovascular procedures. This modified approach may salvage cases that would otherwise be considered inoperable in regions of the world where steerable sheaths designed for aortic use are not readily available.PMID:37249070 | DOI:10.1177/17085381231174726 (Source: Vascular)
