Evolution of non-fatal burden estimates for cardiovascular disease in Australia: a comparison of national and state-wide methodology of burden of disease
ConclusionsPrevalence estimates require the best available data sources, updated disease models and constant review to inform government policy and health reform. Availability of nation-wide linked data will markedly improve future burden estimates.PMID:36395787 | DOI:10.1071/AH22149

Mortality before and after reconfiguration of the Danish hospital-based emergency healthcare system: a nationwide interrupted time series analysis
Conclusions The Danish emergency care reconfiguration programme was not associated with an improvement in overall in-hospital mortality trends and was associated with a slight slowing of prior improvements in 30-day mortality trends.

High prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm in older men with cerebrovascular disease: Evaluation of a local screening program
This report evaluates the results of a decade's operation of a local screening program for AAA in this selected neurologic population.MethodsMen aged ≥60 years and admitted to the neurology ward of a community-based hospital in the Netherlands from 2006 to 2017 with a diagnosis of TIA or stroke were selected for screening. The diameter of the abdominal aorta was assessed by abdominal ultrasonography. Patients with detected AAA were referred for evaluation by a vascular surgeon.ResultsAAA was detected in 72 of 1,035 screened patients (6.9%). AAAs with a diameter of 3.0–3.9 cm accounted for 61.1% of the total aneurysms f...

Assessment of Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair Using Relay Proximal Scallop: Results of a French Prospective Multicentre Study
CONCLUSION: One year outcomes showed that the Relay proximal scallop stent graft is an acceptable answer to aortic thoracic disease to deal with short proximal landing zones.PMID:37567339 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejvs.2023.08.002

Patients with Acute Thoracic Aortic Dissection: A One-Year Case Series of Patients Presenting to an ED
Thoracic dissection is an often fatal disease. Although physicians must have a high level of suspicion for this disorder, up to 38% of patients with dissection do not have it suspected on evaluation, and up to 28% are found on autopsy not to have been correctly diagnosed. Although rare, thoracic aortic dissection is the most common lethal disease affecting the aorta and more common than abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture. Mortality can be as high as 1–2% per hour, making quick and accurate diagnosis important. This is made more complex by the various presentations of thoracic dissection, based on area of dissection,...

Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm.
CONCLUSIONS: In individuals considered fit for conventional surgery, EVAR was associated with lower short-term mortality than OSR. However, this benefit from EVAR did not persist at the intermediate- and long-term follow ups. Individuals undergoing EVAR had a higher reintervention rate than those undergoing OSR. Most of the reinterventions undertaken following EVAR, however, were catheter-based interventions associated with low mortality. Operative complications, health-related quality of life and sexual dysfunction were generally comparable between EVAR and OSR. However, there was a slightly higher incidence of pulmonary ...

The “Open” Chimney Graft Technique for Juxtarenal Aortic Aneurysms with Discrepant Renal Arteries
Conclusions: OCh-EVAR is a straightforward technique that can be employed in selected cases of JRAA, avoiding the more complex and expensive fenestrated EVAR.

One-stage repair of extensive aortic aneurysms: mid-term results with total or subtotal aortic replacement
CONCLUSIONS One-stage repair of extensive aortic aneurysms with total or subtotal aortic replacement is safe and effective. It is feasible with acceptable surgical risks and satisfactory results. It can eliminate the risk of remnant aortic aneurysm rupture in staged total aortic replacement and has satisfactory mid-term results.

Tumor Necrosis Factor α Inhibitor Use and Decreased Risk for Incident Coronary Events in Rheumatoid Arthritis
ConclusionUse of TNFα inhibitors is associated with a decreased risk for CAD in RA; the risk decreases further with long‐term use. This should be considered when weighing the risks versus benefits of these medications.

Giant aneurysm of the abdominal aorta
A 79-year-old man with a history of smoking, hypertension, chronic pulmonary disease, and nondisabling stroke was admitted to the emergency department due to loss of consciousness and diffuse abdominal pain. At admission, the patient was vigil but hypotensive (90/60 mm Hg) and tachycardic (107 bpm). Physical examination revealed a tender, pulsatile mass occupying the entire abdomen (A). His hemoglobin level was 6.5 g/dL. Computed tomographic angiography revealed a giant infrarenal aortic aneurysm with a maximum transverse diameter of 256 mm (B and C). A small layer of blood was visible in the left retroperitoneal space. Co...

Reasons for non‐participation in population‐based abdominal aortic aneurysm screening
ConclusionEfforts to improve participation in AAA screening should target the groups with low income, a low level of education and immigrants. The higher morbidity in the non‐participant group, together with a higher rate of smoking, make it probable that this group also has a high risk of AAA.

Thoracic aortic aneurysms in octogenarians: the results of open surgical repair using hypothermic circulatory arrest with antegrade selective cerebral perfusion.
Conclusion: The early and late outcomes after thoracic aortic surgery at our hospital using HCA with ASCP in octogenarians are acceptable. The operations are performed with an acceptable operative risk, even under emergency situations, including acute aortic dissection. PMID: 24614390 [PubMed - in process]
