Sex Differences in Vascular Physiology and Pathophysiology: Estrogen and Androgen Signaling in Health and Disease.
Abstract Sex differences between women and men are often overlooked and underappreciated when studying the cardiovascular system. It has been long assumed that men and women are physiologically similar, and this notion has resulted in females being clinically evaluated and treated for cardiovascular pathophysiological complications as males. Currently, there is increased recognition of fundamental sex differences in cardiovascular function, anatomy, cell signaling, and pathophysiology. NIH has enacted guidelines expressly to gain knowledge about ways the sexes differ in both normal function and diseases at the var...

Endovascular treatment for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.
CONCLUSIONS: The conclusions of this review are currently limited by the paucity of data. We found from the data available moderate-quality evidence suggesting there is no difference in 30-day mortality between eEVAR and open repair. Not enough information was provided for complications for us to make a well-informed conclusion, although it is possible that eEVAR is associated with a reduction in bowel ischaemia. Long-term data were lacking for both survival and late complications. More high-quality randomised controlled trials comparing eEVAR and open repair for the treatment of RAAA are needed to better understand if one...

Optimal vs Feasible Volume Thresholds in Vascular Surgery
The volume-outcome relationship in vascular surgery has been an especially controversial topic recently, given the declining trainee exposure to complex open vascular cases, additional series reporting improved outcomes with higher volume, and medical organizations, such as Leapfrog, recommending volume thresholds for certain procedures. However, the definition of volume and the delineation of a specific threshold number of cases below which surgeons should not be credentialed remain unclear. In this issue ofJAMA Surgery, Mao et al took a unique approach to looking at outcomes among the very lowest-volume surgeons —those...

Moderate drinking may reduce heart disease risk
Conclusion This study paints a more complicated picture than the "Pint a day keeps the doctor away" story proffered by The Sun. It seems to confirm the findings of other studies, which have shown that non-drinkers tend to have a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases than people who drink moderately. It suggests that some cardiovascular diseases (mainly those directly affecting the heart) seem to have a stronger link to a possible protective effect from alcohol than other vascular diseases, such as mini-strokes and bleeding in the brain. However, this can't be concluded with certainty due to the study design. We ...

Homocysteine and non-cardiac vascular disease.
Abstract Elevated homocysteine (Hcy) levels are predictors of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Hyperhomocysteinemia has also been associated with total and CVD mortality. However, whether Hcy is just a marker or plays a causal role in CVD remains to be elucidated. In this narrative review, we discuss the associations between Hcy and non-cardiac vascular diseases, namely stroke, peripheral artery disease (PAD), carotid artery disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD), atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS), abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and erectile dysfunction (ED). The effects of several drugs on Hcy levels are ...

Single-center mid-term experience with chimney-graft technique for the preservation of flow to the supra-aortic branches.
Conclusions The chimney-graft technique, despite a technically demanding strategy, is a useful tool as bailout procedure in our armamentarium for high-risk patients, unsuitable for open or hybrid repair. PMID: 29022854 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Protocol for Evaluating the Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index to Predict Cardiovascular Events in Japan: A Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study
The objective of this study was to examine the benefits of using CAVI as a predictor of cardiovascular events in high-risk patients.Methods and Design: This prospective multicenter study to evaluate the usefulness of the CAVI to predict cardiovascular events in Japan (CAVI-J) is a cohort study with central registration. Participants (n = 3,000) will be scheduled to enroll and data will be collected for up to 5 years from entry of participants into the study. To be eligible to participate in the CAVI-J study, individuals have to be aged between 40 and 74 years and have at least one of the following risk factors for arterios...

Operative and Midterm Outcomes of the Fenestrated Anaconda Stent-Graft in the Endovascular Treatment of Juxtarenal, Suprarenal, and Type IV Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Conclusion: FEVAR with the Anaconda device delivers satisfactory short-term technical and clinical success rates in patients with juxtarenal, suprarenal, and type IV TAAA. Midterm efficacy and durability with respect to aneurysm sac regression and target vessel patency appear very good. Overall mortality and the need for reintervention were significant in this patient cohort.

The Endovascular Sealing Device in Combination with Parallel Grafts for Treatment of Juxta/Suprarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: Short-term Results of a Novel Alternative.
CONCLUSIONS: Ch-EVAS appears to offer a feasible solution for juxtarenal and suprarenal aneurysms with adverse morphology. In this short-term follow-up endoleak rates were low and re-intervention rates were acceptable. Outcomes over extended follow-up will determine the application of this novel technique and better define which patients and aneurysm morphology can be treated effectively.
