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

EVAR for aortic abdominal aneurysms: A 20-year's experience of 1900  patients.
[EVAR for aortic abdominal aneurysms: A 20-year's experience of 1900 patients]. Presse Med. 2018 Mar 11;: Authors: Desgranges P, Kobeiter H, Cochennec F, Tacher V, Touma J, Majewski M, Marzelle J, Allaire É, Becquemin JP Abstract Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), also called "silent killer" as they grow without symptoms until the final rupture, are the 3rd cause of cardiovascular deaths, after myocardial infarction and stroke. Surgery is the only efficient way of preventing aortic rupture. The initial technique, described by Charles Dubost in 1952 has evolved and results and provides fair long-term ...

A randomized controlled trial on the effects of goal directed therapy on the inflammatory response open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
IntroductionGoal directed therapy (GDT) has been shown in numerous studies to decrease perioperative morbidity and morality. The mechanism of benefit of GDT however, has not been clearly elucidated. Targeted resuscitation of the vascular endothelium with GDT might alter the postoperative inflammatory response and be responsible for the decreased complications with this therapy. Methods: This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT01681251. Forty patients undergoing elective open repair of their abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), 18 years of age and older were randomized to an interventional arm with GDT targeting s...
