Complications of endo-vascular aortic repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm: A retrospective single-centre experience
CONCLUSION: EVAR showed a high technical success rate with no conversion to OAR. The most common complications were type II and type I endoleaks followed by graft limb occlusion. The 30-day mortality was 2.3% due to perioperative MI. Only one late stent-graft related mortality was registered due to rupture-EVAR.PMID:33850623 | PMC:PMC8039833 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2021.102219

The Effect of Anesthetic Type on Outcomes of Hip Fracture Surgery: A Nationwide Population-Based Study
Abstract: Hip fractures are a global public health problem. During surgery following hip fractures, both general and regional anesthesia are used, but which type of anesthesia offers a better outcome remains controversial. There has been little research evaluating different anesthetic types on mortality and readmission rates for hip fracture surgery using nationwide population-based data. We used nationwide population-based data to examine the effect of anesthetic type on mortality and readmission rates for hip fracture surgery. Retrospective observational study. General acute care hospitals throughout Taiwan. A total ...
