endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (evar) has gradually supplanted open surgical repair in anatomically suitable patients. although initially touted as an alternative repair method in patients who were not deemed good candidates for open surgical repair, evar has become accepted as the ...
Conclusions:Although open surgical repair of the thoracoabdominal aorta can be life-saving to patients at risk for fatal aneurysm rupture, these operations remain challenging and are associated with substantial risk of early death and major complications. Additional improvements are needed to further red...
In multiple comparisons of open vs endovascular (EVAR) repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms, the prior assumption that open repair produced superior durability has been challenged by advocates of EVAR. Although focus on EVAR reintervention has been intense, few contemporary studies document late outco...
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are the 13th leading cause of death in the United States1and approximately 40,000 patients undergo elective AAA repair each year.2With the population aging, this number is expected to increase. Although the use of endovascular AAA repair is becoming more common,...
Background/Objectives: Although endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair (ENDO) has decreased operative morbidity risks compared with open AAA repair (OPEN), risks of rupture and reintervention are higher after ENDO. We used decision analysis to examine the effect of these competing risks...
Remote ischemic preconditioning for renal protection during elective open infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: randomized controlled trial. We aimed to determine whether remote ischemic preconditioning (IP) reduces renal damage following elective open infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) ... Y...
Abdominal aortic aneurysm Horseshoe kidney Open surgical repair Tube graft 1. Introduction Horseshoe kidney (HK) is the most common congenital abnormality of the urologic system, with an incidence of 0.25% of the total population, with a male preponderance of 2:1 [1], [2]. The incidence of ...
Context: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a condition that is usually asymptomatic, but potentially fatal, and has a prevalence in men over 60 years old ranging from 4.3% to 8%. There are two treatment options available: open surgery (OS) and endovascular treatment (ET). Objective: To co...

the graft. When a large amount of native aorta is to be included in the repair, a multi-branched graft is usually preferred (Vascutek gelweave - Coselli thoracoabdominal graft™). This prosthesis allows single vessel reattachment, effectively reducing the risk of recurrent aortic patch aneurysm...
