Composite Dialysis, Paralysis, Stroke, or Mortality After Endovascular Aortic Interventions in the Society for Vascular Surgery Vascular Quality Initiative
Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm life-altering events, which include a combination of permanent dialysis, permanent spinal cord ischemia, stroke, and/or death, have devastating effects after complex endovascular repair. However, the occurrence of these life-altering events after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has not been studied. Therefore, we examined the effects of procedural and anatomic characteristics on a composite outcome of postoperative dialysis, stroke, paralysis, and/or mortality after any endovascular aortic repair.

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...

Endovascular Versus Open Repair For Chronic Type B Dissection Treatment: A meta-analysis
ConclusionsThis recent non -randomised data shows early ER benefit, unsustained at mid-term. Reintervention is higher after ER, necessitating improved technique. However, OS is exempt neither from reintervention nor rupture. Both techniques have their place, but patient selection is key.

Association of Iso-Osmolar vs Low-Osmolar Contrast Media With Major Adverse Renal or Cardiovascular Events in Patients at High Risk for Acute Kidney Injury Undergoing Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair
CONCLUSIONS: Use of IOCM vs LOCM in patients at high risk of AKI undergoing EVAR procedures was associated with a lower risk of MARCE. As prevention of AKI or cardiovascular events after EVAR procedures may lead to reduced morbidity and mortality, this finding may have important clinical implications and should be confirmed through randomized controlled clinical studies.PMID:34280892

Five-year results for endovascular repair of acute complicated type B aortic dissection
Conclusions: This study confirms the excellent short-term outcomes of TEVAR for acute complicated type B dissection and demonstrates the results to be durable and sustained over long-term follow-up. Although aortic reinterventions were required in one-quarter of patients, no aortic-related deaths were observed. These data support the use of TEVAR for acute complicated type B aortic dissection but also highlight the importance of life-long aortic surveillance by an experienced aortic referral center in order to identify and treat complications of the underlying disease process and treatment, as well as new aortic pathologies, as they arise.

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]
