Original title: Outcomes of Endovascular Aneurysm Repair in Patients with Hostile Neck Anatomy Reference: Stather et al. European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 44 (2012) 556-561. Endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (EVAR) has already shown benefits in terms of mortality compared with conventional surgery. The disadvantages of EVAR are reinterventions for endoleaks, migration or device failure…
Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aorta, lower mortality rates than conventional open surgery in younger than 70.
Original title: Long Term Comparison of Endovascular and Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (OVER TRIAL) Reference: Frank A. Lederle, et al. NEJM 367;24:1988-1997 Randomized studies had shown that the endovascular approach reduces mortality, yet its long term evolution remained a concern. The aim of this study was to analyze long term evolution of EVAR device implantation vs. conventional…
Plug versus coils for embolization of the internal iliac artery stent implantation.
Original title: Comparison of outcomes with coils versus vascular plug embolization of the internal iliac artery for endovascular aortoiliac aneurysm repair. Reference: Evan J. Ryer et al. J Vasc Surg 2012;56:1239-45 20% of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) present a compromise of the common distal iliac artery, these often require the stent to cover up to the…
