Long-Term Experience of Endovascular Repair for Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Dissections
Conclusion: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair is a relatively safe and effective therapy for different aortic pathologies with good long-term success. The risk of stroke and paraparesis is notable whether the LSA is covered, and strokes clearly accumulate in the emergency setting. A type I endoleak is the most common complication, but there are no predictive factors for its development.

Branched Endovascular Therapy of the Distal Aortic Arch: Preliminary Results of the Feasibility Multicenter Trial of the Gore Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis
Conclusions Total endovascular repair of distal zone 2 arch aortic aneurysms can be achieved with a novel branched arch endograft. Future studies will evaluate the feasibility of this approach for aneurysms encompassing the brachiocephalic trunk and left carotid artery.

Early Experiences with the Endovascular Repair of Ruptured Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm.
CONCLUSION: TEVAR for rDTAA was associated with favorable early mortality and morbidity outcomes. However, early reintervention should be considered if persistent endoleak occurs. PMID: 27064672 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Endovascular repair or open repair for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm: a Cochrane systematic review
Conclusions Outcomes between eEVAR and open repair, specifically 30-day mortality, are similar. However, further high-quality trials are required, as the paucity of data currently limits the conclusions.

Cardiac risk stratification in patients undergoing endovascular aortic repair.
Authors: Biagi P, de Donato G, Setacci C Abstract Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is the preferred first treatment option in case of patients with advanced age and/or fit anatomy owing to shorter length of in hospital staying, less complications or laparotomy-related re- interventions, and lower initial costs. Although it is a less-invasive intervention, EVAR entails a risk similar to that of open aortic procedures for medical comorbidities, and a perioperative clinical evaluation is mandatory to minimize the early and late cardiovascular risk. In this brief review the determi...

Intervention Associated Acute Kidney Injury and Long-Term Cardiovascular Outcomes
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been associated with all-cause short- and long-term mortality. However, its association with cardiovascular (CV) events remains unclear. We sought to investigate this in patients undergoing open (OAR) or endovascular (EVAR) abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, as they are likely to develop both AKI and CV morbidity. A meta-analysis was subsequently performed to confirm this in other CV-interventions. Methods: AKI-incidence was assessed in a multicentre-cohort of 1,068 patients undergoing EVAR (947 individuals) or OAR electively using the ‘Acute Kidney Injury Network' criteria. A com...

Open Repair of Aneurysms of the Thoracoabdominal Aorta
Conclusion In an era of evolving endovascular alternatives to open surgery for TAAA, this contemporary series from an aortic center show excellent results that are comparable to most series of treated TAAA, both open and endovascular. It is highly probable that the case selection for the two treatment options should be made in centralized dedicated aortic centers with skills to handle all strategies of care.[...]Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals:Table of contents  |  Abstract  |  Full text

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.

The importance of and current trends in the endovascular program – A single center experience
Conclusion In the AAA group, the percentage of EVAR stabilized during the last 5 years at about 32% of the total number of treated patients. Given the excellent results of open carotid surgery and the unconvincing results of stenting trials, we consider open carotid surgery to be better than carotid artery primary stenting.

Transapical Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair in a Patient with Shaggy Aorta Syndrome
We report a case of a 68-year-old man with a large saccular aneurysm (70 mm) of the aortic arch. Although abundant atherosclerotic plaques or mural thrombi are generally considered to be a contraindication for endovascular repair, the patient’s multiple comorbidities and anatomical limitations with a patent internal thoracic artery graft adjacent to the aneurysm made him unfit for open repair. Transapical deployment of the endograft through the less diseased ascending aorta, with a concomitant chimney graft and carotid-carotid bypass, was performed, without evident stroke or embolism.
