Groningen Covered stents in aortoiliac occlusive disease

Initial Clinical Experience with the Endologix AFX Unibody Stent Graft System for Treating Patients with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: A Case Controlled Comparative Study

PURPOSE The newly designed unibody AFX endograft system for endovascular aortic aneurysm repair is the only graft with anatomical fixation to the aortic bifurcation in comparison to most other grafts that use the infrarenal neck as the main fixation point. The aim of this study was to assess the preliminary results of the AFX stent-graft system used with infrarenal aortic component and compare ...

Long-term outcome of aortofemoral bypass for aortoiliac occlusive disease.

INTRODUCTION Revascularisation of aortoiliac occlusive disease has been evolving in the past 2 decades. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the long-term outcomes of aortofemoral bypass for aortoiliac occlusive disease at a tertiary vascular disease centre in Hong Kong. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of 94 patients (176 limbs) who survived aortofemoral bypass was perf...

Ten year outcomes after bypass surgery in aortoiliac occlusive disease

PURPOSE Most outcome studies of bypass surgery are limited to five years of follow-up. However, as human life expectancy has increased, analyses of more long-term outcomes are needed. The aim of this study is to evaluate 10-year outcomes of anatomical bypasses in aortoiliac occlusive disease. METHODS From 1996 to 2009, 92 patients (82 males and 10 females) underwent aortic anatomical bypasses...
