Evolution in the Management of Aberrant Subclavian Arteries and Related Kommerell Diverticulum.
CONCLUSIONS: Aberrant subclavian arteries and associated Kommerell diverticulum can be treated with acceptable rates of mortality and morbidity. The evolution toward an endovascular approach did not appear to affect late outcomes, suggesting that the choice of treatment should be based on patient-specific anatomy and associated comorbidities.

Endovascular Repair with Chimney Technique for Juxtarenal Aortic Aneurysm: A Single Center Experience.
CONCLUSION: Ch-EVAR can be used to treat JRAAs with suitable anatomical conditions. However, complications of type I endoleak were not uncommon, and, therefore, further studies are required to prove its efficiency for JRAAs. PMID: 25631457 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Endovascular repair of thoracic aortic pathologies: Postoperative nursing implications
Endovascular stent grafting is increasingly used to manage descending thoracic aortic pathologies. The procedure was introduced at the study hospital in 2001. We sought to examine the short-term clinical outcomes of patients who underwent this endovascular stent grafting, with the aim of using the result as baseline for development of an in-center clinical management protocol. We undertook a single-center, retrospective review of health care records of patients managed with thoracic stent grafts from 2001 to 2009. Patient characteristics, in-hospital data, and procedural data were obtained. SPSS was used to analyze the dat...

297 * conventional thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair after frozen elephant trunk operation
Conclusions: Conventional TAAA repair following frozen elephant trunk operation is a feasible and safe procedure, which is facilitated by the fact of a proximal anastomosis with the endovascular prosthesis in the distal part of the descending aorta and a convenient possibility to clamp the endograft in the middle part of the downstream aorta.

A 14-year experience with blunt thoracic aortic injury
Conclusions: The incidence of BTAT is low but the mortality associated with it is significant. During the 14-year period studied, there was a clear change in management preference from open repair to endovascular repair at our level 1 trauma center. Outcomes, including stroke, MI, renal failure, paralysis, length of stay, and death, appear to be reduced in the endovascular group.

Treatment of acute visceral aortic pathology with fenestrated/branched endovascular repair in high-surgical-risk patients
Conclusions: Urgent or emergent treatment of acute pathology involving the visceral aortic segment with fenestrated/branched endograft repair is feasible and safe in selected high-risk patients; however, the durability of these repairs is yet to be determined.
