Upper Extremity Access for Fenestrated Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair Is not Associated with Increased Morbidity
Fenestrated endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (FEVAR) is an alternative to open repair in patients with complex abdominal aortic aneurysms, who are neither fit nor suitable for standard open or endovascular repair. Chimney and snorkel grafts are other endovascular alternatives, but require upper extremity access that has been associated to a 3.2%-9.5% risk of stroke. However, because of the caudal orientation of the visceral vessels, upper extremity access is also frequently required for FEVAR. The purpose of this study was to assess the use of upper extremity access for FEVAR and associated morbidity.

Trends in abdominal aortic aneurysm prevalence and mortality in non-European countries
After 3 decades of epidemiologic research on abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), prevalence and mortality rates from AAA in England and Scandinavian countries have been shown to be decreasing , raising the question about what the trends of prevalence and mortality rates from AAA in non-European countries are. With that aim, we conducted a literature search for observational studies and randomized controlled trials that assessed prevalence and mortality rates in non-European populations published since January 1983 till June 2013 in MEDLINE, EMBASE and LILACS electronic databases. The search strategy was [abdominal aortic aneu...

The Shortfall in Long-term Survival of Patients with Repaired Thoracic or Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: Retrospective Case–Control Analysis of Hospital Episode Statistics
Objective: To report the contemporary life expectancy of patients undergoing abdominal (AAA) or thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) repair in England, relative to a healthy control population.Methods: A retrospective observational case–control study was carried out of Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) data, an administrative dataset covering the entire English National Health Service. Patients undergoing elective repair of an abdominal or thoracic aortic aneurysm in an English NHS hospital between April 2006 and March 2011 were included. Outcome measures were 5-year all-cause mortality (in- and out-of-hospital) and adverse ca...

The impact of susceptibility loci for coronary artery disease on other vascular domains and recurrence risk
Conclusions These findings suggest that CAD/MI-associated risk alleles play an aetiological role in different types of atherosclerotic disease.

TNF‐α inhibitor use and decreased risk for incident coronary events in rheumatoid arthritis patients
Conclusion: Use of TNF‐α inhibitors is associated with a decreased risk for CAD in RA; the risk decreases further with longterm use. This should be considered when weighing the risks versus benefits of these medications. © 2013 American College of Rheumatology.

Impact of Inherited Genetic Variants Associated With Lipid Profile, Hypertension, and Coronary Artery Disease on the Risk of Intracranial and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Original Articles
Conclusions— We demonstrate that genetic risk profiles of lipid factors and CAD are associated with AAAs but not with IAs, and the genetic risk profile of blood pressure is associated with IAs but not with AAAs. These findings are consistent with epidemiological observations.

Mortality and reintervention following elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
Conclusions: Results of this meta-analysis demonstrate that the 30-day all-cause mortality rate is higher with open than with EVAR repair; however, there is no statistical difference in the long-term all-cause and cause-specific mortality between both groups. The reintervention rate attributable to procedural complication was higher in the EVAR group. Because of the equivalency of long-term outcomes and the short-term benefits of EVAR, an endovascular-first approach to AAAs can be supported by the meta-analysis.

The risk of resting heart rate on vascular events and mortality in vascular patients
Conclusions: Elevated RHR is associated with increased risk for mortality but not for myocardial infarction or stroke in patients with manifest vascular diseases irrespective of location of vascular disease.
