OBJECTIVE To assess whether a strategy of endovascular repair (if aortic morphology is suitable, open repair if not) versus open repair reduces early mortality for patients with suspected ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. DESIGN Randomised controlled trial. SETTING 30 vascular centres (29 UK, 1 Canadian), 2009-13. PARTICIPANTS 613 eligible patients (480 men) with a clinical diagnosis of...

A 58-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for massive swelling in an anterior cervical location. Nine years earlier, he underwent surgical repair of a complex type A aortic dissection. This procedure was complicated by a fistula between the anastomosis of the graft and the descending aorta, resulting in massive presternal swelling. Therefore, we performed thoracic endovascular repair with ...

A retrospective, single-center review was performed from 2001 to 2018. Seventeen patients with infected aortic aneurysms (10 ruptures, 11 saccular) were treated by endovascular repair in 13 (endovascular aneurysm [EVAR], n = 9; surgeon-modified fenestrated EVAR, 4) and open 4 patients. The 1- 5-year overall survival 94% 75%, respectively. infection-free 88% 63%, management of the selective use ...

We report renal salvage maneuvers after accidental bilateral renal artery coverage during endovascular aneurysm repair of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. A 79-year-old man with an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm was treated with endovascular aneurysm repair. Completion angiography demonstrated coverage of the renal arteries. Several revascularization techniques were attempted, inc...

OBJECTIVE To compare endovascular and standard open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms in terms of initial in-hospital costs and the costs of secondary interventions and surveillance. DESIGN A retrospective study. SETTING A university-affiliated tertiary care medical centre. PATIENTS Seven patients who underwent elective endovascular (EV) repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm in 1998 a...

Cases of an endovascular treatment for traumatic aortic injury are extremely rare. A prompt diagnosis of traumatic thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm through a 3-dimensional computed tomographic angiography of aorta and emergency repair are mandatory to rescue the life-threatening condition. An endovascular treatment is a trend for traumatic aortic injury because of lower invasivity, morbidity and ...

conclusions due to more sophisticated diagnostic tools and surgical approaches, mortality and morbidity of blunt aortic injuries were significantly reduced over the years compared to thoracic endovascular aortic repair and or over two different time periods. objectives the aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate the mortality and morbidity with either treatment option. therefor...

OBJECTIVE To examine contemporary operative techniques and outcomes for repair of isolated iliac artery aneurysms. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all patients who underwent repair of an isolated iliac artery aneurysm from February 1995 to June 2007. Mycotic aneurysms and patients with concurrent infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms greater than 3.5 cm in diameter were excl...
