Early outcomes of extra-thoracic debranching thoracic endovascular aortic repair for distal aortic arch disease
In conclusion, the early outcomes of extra-thoracic debranching TEVAR in high-risk patients with distal aortic arch disease were satisfactory and encouraging, compared with conventional arch replacement. Extra-thoracic debranching TEVAR has the advantage of less invasiveness and no possibility of sternal infection.

Open versus endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm: Incidence of cardiovascular events in 632 patients in a department of defense cohort over 6-year follow-up.
CONCLUSION: EVAR was associated with lower 30-day mortality rates; however, this benefit was not sustained in longer-term follow-up. There is no difference in the rates of stroke, myocardial infarction, or cardiac arrhythmia at 30 days or in long-term follow-up. PMID: 25134851 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Early results of the Axium MicroFX for Endovascular Repair of IntraCranial Aneurysm (AMERICA) study: a multicenter prospective observational registry
Conclusions This prospective study of Axium MicroFX coils demonstrates excellent aneurysm occlusion rates. 52% of aneurysms were completely occluded post-procedure. Within the ruptured aneurysm group, post-procedure occlusion rates were 63.6%. Major AE rates were consistent with historical data.

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 frequently require bilateral upper extremity access that has been associated with a 3% to 10% risk of stroke. However, upper extremity access is also frequently required for FEVAR because of the caudal orientation of the visceral vessels.

E-007 Unusual Two Cases of Dissecting Cervical Internal Carotid Artery Pseudo-aneurysm with Symptomatic Intracranial Aneurysm
Conclusions In the evaluation of suspected intracranial aneurysm who present with headache with neck pain, a catheter cerebral angiogram not only will clearly define the correct morphology of intracranial aneurysm but also will appropriately identify the presence of life threatening cervical ICA abnormalities. Additionally, presence of an unusual cervical ICA anatomy with DP may warrant further evaluation of intracranial blood vessel of same territory. Using endovascular strategies, both extracranial and intracranial DP could be treated. However, long-term follow-up and outcome is unknown. Further studies are required. Di...

E-009 Dissecting Ruptured and Symptomatic Intracranial Pseudo-aneurysm who Underwent Endovascular Repair-A Case Series
Conclusions Our series demonstrates that dissecting intracranial aneurysm is predominantly present in the Petro-Cavernous junction of the ICA. Most of them could be treated successfully with good clinical outcome using stent-assisted coiling, stent-remodeling or primary coiling. However, the recurrence rate is extremely common; therefore close early follow-up is necessary for all cases especially those located in Petro-cavernous junction of the ICA. Further long-term follow-up study is required. Disclosures Y. Lodi: None. V. Reddy: None. A. Devasenapathy: None. J. Chou: None. K. Shehades: None. K. Sethi: None. D. Galyon: ...

O-035 The Dotter Technique Revisited: Early Experience using this Technique for Treating Tandem Lesions in Acute Stroke
Conclusion The Dotter Stroke technique is a safe alternative to carotid stenting, and may be useful in patients at increased risk for haemorrhage. In this small series, a post-Dotter stenosis >75% is associated with re-occlusion, and stenting should be performed to prevent re-occlusion. No re-occlusion was identified at 30 days with post-Dotter stenosis <= 65%. Disclosures B. Woodward: None. E. Nyberg: None. S. Wegryn: None.

Endovascular treatment for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.
CONCLUSIONS: The conclusions of this review are currently limited by the paucity of data. From the data available there is no difference in the outcomes evaluated in this review between eEVAR and open repair, specifically 30-day mortality. Not enough information was provided for complications in order to make a well informed conclusion at this time. Long-term data are 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 in order to better understand if one method is superior to the other, or if there is no diff...

Endovascular repair of thoracic aortic pathologies: Postoperative nursing implications
Endovascular stent grafting is increasingly used to manage descending thoracic aortic pathologies. The procedure was introduced at the study hospital in 2001. We sought to examine the short-term clinical outcomes of patients who underwent this endovascular stent grafting, with the aim of using the result as baseline for development of an in-center clinical management protocol. We undertook a single-center, retrospective review of health care records of patients managed with thoracic stent grafts from 2001 to 2009. Patient characteristics, in-hospital data, and procedural data were obtained. SPSS was used to analyze the dat...

Parallel Endografts in the Treatment of Distal Aortic and Common Iliac Aneurysms
Conclusions: Successful exclusion of D-AAA and BCIAA was achieved in high-risk patients using parallel endografts, allowing antegrade blood flow to one IIA when needed. Commercially available endografts were used in a simple and effective approach, with excellent follow-up results.

Variability in Outcome After Elective Cerebral Aneurysm Repair in High-Volume Academic Medical Centers Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— There is notable interhospital heterogeneity in outcomes among even the largest volume unruptured intracranial aneurysm referral centers. Although further regionalization may be needed, mandatory participation in prospective, adjudicated registries will be necessary to reliably identify factors associated with superior outcomes.

Operative Outcomes After Open Repair of Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms in the Era of Endovascular Surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: In the era of endovascular repair of DTAAs, operative death and morbidity outcomes for open repairs are observed to be low. In addition to good long-term survival rates, open repairs are durable, as evidenced by low reintervention rates. PMID: 24636705 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
