Reengineering the Art of Evar
Since the first endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) was described by Parodi et al,1 continued improvements have been made to stent graft design. EVAR has been shown as a safe alternative to open surgery for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), with reduced early morbidity and mortality rates. The EUROSTAR registry reports that the rate of secondary interventions and conversions i...
متن کاملA clinical and ethical review on late results and benefits after EVAR
INTRODUCTION The aim of this review is to assess if late mortality after endovascular repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is a real problem, and whether it could be an issue in the case of medical litigation. MATERIAL AND METHODS A review of all English language literature was performed on PubMed web-site, looking for all papers reporting EVAR long-term mortality rate. EVAR perf...
متن کاملFEATURED TECHNOLOGY: VELATM PROximAL ENDOGRAFT SYSTEm
The rapid acceptance of endovascular repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) over the past 15 years has been driven in large part by advancing endovascular skills, innovation in endograft technology, and physician expansion of the approach to patients with more complex anatomies.1 The challenges to EVAR remain, as is well documented in the clinical literature. Proximal neck morpholog...
متن کاملHospitalization Rates and Post-Operative Mortality for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in Italy over the Period 2000–2011
BACKGROUND Recent studies have reported declines in incidence, prevalence and mortality for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) in various countries, but evidence from Mediterranean countries is lacking. The aim of this study is to examine the trend of hospitalization and post-operative mortality rates for AAAs in Italy during the period 2000-2011, taking into account the introduction of endovasc...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: Endovascular Aneurysm Repair versus Open Repair
BACKGROUND Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has dramatically changed the management of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) as the number of open aneurysm repairs have declined over time. This report compares AAA-related demographics, operative data, complications, and mortality after treatment by open aneurysm repair or EVAR. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 136 patients with AAAs who wer...
