After complex endovascular aortic repair (cEVAR), long-term surveillance is advocated to monitor for potential (stent-related) complications. Although various imaging modalities are used, computed tomography angiography remains the standard in current clinical practice worldwide. However, radiopaque markers can cause metal artifacts and scattering, hampering assessment of patency of side branches. The maximal systolic acceleration (ACCmax) is a relatively new duplex ultrasound (DUS) parameter measured distal to a stenosis, avoiding in-stent assessment and scattering. The aim of this article is to illustrate the potential diagnostic utility of the ACCmax after cEVAR and visceral artery stenting in general.

This study aims to assess the effectiveness and identify the risk factors associated with postoperative restenosis in patients with femoropopliteal in-stent restenosis (FP-ISR) disease treated with excimer laser ablation (ELA) combined with drug-coated balloon (DCB) versus DCB alone.

Despite advances in complex endovascular aortic repair techniques, spinal cord ischemia (SCI) remains a devastating complication following endovascular thoracoabdominal aortic repairs. Novel strategies to preserve key intercostal/lumbar arteries have been described. We report our early results of patients who underwent direct intercostal/lumbar artery revascularization using endovascular incorporation of fenestrations/branches or extra-anatomic approaches for fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repairs (FBEVARs).

The purpose of this study was to collect all the available evidence concerning technical success and early and mid-term clinical outcomes of physician-modified endografts (PMEGs) for the treatment of aortic arch pathologies in zones 0 to 2.

This study investigates the accuracy of fully-automated maximum aortic diameter measurements in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients using artificial intelligence software (PRAEVAorta 2, Nurea, Bordeaux, France).

To reveal the rate of 1-year freedom from restenosis and to determine the factors associated with the restenosis risk in femoropopliteal (FP) lesions treated with a Ranger drug-coated balloon (DCB) in real-world clinical settings.

To improve the outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), we investigated the dynamic morphology of dilated and nondilated ascending aortas (AAs) to determine whether an appropriate proximal landing zone for TEVAR exists if the middle AA is dilated.

The objective of this study was to analyze neointimal hyperplasia of the inferior vena cava (IVC) after Option filter implantation by DynaCT and to provide a reference for the safety of effective neointimal hyperplasia cutting after long retrieval window filter implantation in vivo.

In the current study, we hypothesized that the Japanese below-the-knee chronic total occlusion score could be used to stratify the lesion difficulty of endovascular therapy for below-the-knee chronic total occlusion through angiographic evaluation. We thus aimed to evaluate the prognostic impact of the Japanese below-the-knee chronic total occlusion score in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia after successful endovascular therapy for below-the-knee chronic total occlusion.

This anatomical Merkmal method may facilitate anterolateral popliteal puncture.

Knowledge of hostile factors and their influence on long-term seal in the iliac landing zone is limited. Currently endorsed clinical practice guidelines lack structural evidence on how the iliac landing zone should be assessed in the pre-, intra-, and postoperative phases. The goal of this study was to obtain an international, expert-based consensus on the definition of a hostile iliac landing zone, on how to size and plan stent-grafts to optimize sustainable distal seal, and on the postprocedural follow-up protocol.

Aorto-esophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare condition consisting in a fistula between the aorta and the esophagus. The thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has become an accepted treatment for initial AEF management, but large series are not available and outcomes are questionable. This study aims at evaluating the current evidence of TEVAR in AEF.

Traumatic carotid artery pseudoaneurysms (PSAs) represent a vascular anomaly with potential for serious complications, including stroke. Traditional treatments involve endovascular stenting, which may not be ideally suited to otherwise healthy vessels that have the potential to remodel. Given the limitations of smaller animal models in replicating human vasculature and the need for improved treatment modalities, this study introduces a novel swine model for the creation and evaluation of carotid PSAs.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients after endovascular treatment (EVT) have a relatively high restenosis rate. However, this risk can be mitigated through precise risk assessment and individualized self-management intervention plans. Moreover, the number of predictive models for restenosis risk in PAD patients after EVT is gradually increasing, yet these results of study exhibit certain discrepancies, raising uncertainties regarding the quality and applicability in clinical practice and future research.

This prospective study from October 2016 to September 2020 aimed to identify the factors associated with non-revascularization and mortality rates in patients who underwent endovascular interventions for Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) II A/B iliac artery occlusions at the Department of Vascular Surgery.

Extensive research has focused on the evaluation of rupture risks in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) through comprehensive morphologic and hemodynamic analyses, primarily considering the AAA as a whole entity. This study tried to identify the high-risk rupture sites of AAAs more precisely before the fatal process based on morphologic and hemodynamic analyses at the local segment.

We described an alternative access for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) deployment using a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) needle for gaining transcaval access to the abdominal aorta.

Bridging stent grafts (BSG) implanted during fenestrated and branched endovascular aortic repair (F/B-EVAR) are crucial for the successful exclusion of thoracoabdominal and complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The aim of this study was to analyze the outcomes of the Gore Viabahn VBX stent graft as BSG for renal and visceral target vessels during F/B-EVAR.

Catheter-directed thrombolysis reduces the thrombolytic time and dose of thrombolytic drugs without affecting the thrombolytic effect to ensure that bleeding does not occur. This helps clinicians choose safer CDT treatments for their patients. We combine the historical process of catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy for VTE and prospect the future development of CDT.

The objective of this study was to examine the short- and midterm outcomes of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) for acute lower limb ischemia (ALI), classes Rutherford 1 and 2, with specific attention to functional outcome.

This study investigated the effect of patency of the pedal arch (PA) on wound healing rate and time, amputation-free survival (AFS), limb salvage, and limb-based patency (LBP) in chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) patients undergoing endovascular revascularization of infrainguinal arterial lesions.
