» Inferior Mid-Term Durability with Comparable Survival for Younger Patients Undergoing Elective Endovascular Infrarenal vs. Open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair
18/10/19 00:00 from Annals of Vascular Surgery
The durability of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) when compared to open surgical repair (OSR) in younger patients for elective, infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) remains unclear due to limited follow up.

» Partial Renal Coverage after EVAR with Suprarenal Fixation Seems Not to be Associated with Early Renal Impairment
18/10/19 00:00 from Annals of Vascular Surgery
Efforts to achieve optimal seal during endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) may produce partial coverage of the lowest renal artery and in some cases even occlusion. This coverage might alter the renal ostial flow, which could fina...

» Vascular surgery patients at risk for malnutrition are at an increased risk of developing post-operative complications
18/10/19 00:00 from Annals of Vascular Surgery
Malnutrition is an important risk factor for adverse post-operative outcomes such as infection and delayed wound healing, often resulting in longer hospital stay and higher readmission and mortality rates. The aim of this study was to as...

» Evolving Management of Distal Anastomotic Technical Issues During Open Aortic Aneurysm Repair
18/10/19 00:00 from Annals of Vascular Surgery
Thrombosis of the iliac anastomosis is an important complication of open aortic aneurysm repair. We evaluated our evolving management of this complication to an endovascular approach and compared it to open revision to the common femoral...

» Midterm outcomes of drug coated balloon angioplasty in femoropopliteal lesions in a daily practice cohort
18/10/19 00:00 from Annals of Vascular Surgery
Most previous drug coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty studies used strict in- and exclusion criteria and therefore might not be representative for daily practice. This study was performed to evaluate the midterm outcomes of DCB angioplasty...
