The aim of this retrospective multicenter study is to evaluate the impact of juxta-renal inner vessel diameter (JR-IVD) and vertical distance between renal arteries (RA-VerDi) on renal artery instability (RAI) and associated complications in patients undergoing fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR) for complex aortic pathology.

Obtaining a prognostic and predictive classification based on the risk of amputation is crucial in ischemic pathology of the lower limbs. Accurate anatomical characterization of arterial lesions is essential for optimal clinical decision-making. The Global Limb Anatomic Staging System (GLASS) provides a comprehensive anatomy assessment of the femoropopliteal and infrapopliteal arterial system. GLASS introduces concepts such as the target arterial path (TAP) and estimated limb-based patency (LBP), crucial for determining the best arterial route to restore blood flow.

This study aimed to compare the completion of gate cannulation task performed by participants of varying experience using fluoroscopy, the Intra-Operative Positioning System (IOPS) - an FDA-cleared endovascular navigation system that has been developed to reduce dependence on fluoroscopy - or an investigational augmented reality electromagnetic navigation technology based on IOPS.

The aim of the study was to summarize epidemiologic data about aortobronchial fistulas and compare outcomes (mortality, recurrence, re-operation) of open, staged, and endovascular repair of aortobronchial fistula.

Below the knee (BTK) lesions may be particularly challenging to treat owing to length, diffuse disease, and extent of calcification. Landmark interventional clinical studies have not reached consensus on the optimal standard of care for BTK lesions, and many published trials excluded patients with moderate or severe lesion calcification. Calcium modification with intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) was shown to be superior to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in the femoropopliteal artery and successful in treating BTK lesions in pilot studies. The Disrupt BTK II study is a core-lab adjudicated, prospective, multi-center single-arm study of patients with moderate to severely calcified BTK lesions treated with the Shockwave Medical Peripheral IVL System.

Percutaneous closure devices for arterial sheaths of sufficient caliber to deliver aortic endografts have a published success rate of 90-95%. Despite this, they are frequently avoided in patients with genetic aortopathy due to concern for high failure rates and increased complications in the setting of compromised tissue integrity. This study aims to compare rates of access site complications following large bore percutaneous access among patients with and without confirmed genetic aortopathy.

While general anesthesia is the predominant choice in endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), recent studies have suggested that locoregional anesthesia could be a viable alternative for suitable patients. Frailty has been identified as an independent predictor of elevated mortality and morbidity in EVAR. However, the choice of anesthesia in frail patients undergoing EVAR has not been explored.

To investigate which preoperative factors most impact the 5-year survival of patients undergoing fenestrated/branched endovascular aortic repair (F/BEVAR) and to identify modifiable elements that, if time allows, should be actively managed and adequately controlled preoperatively.

Carotid body tumors (CBTs) are rare neoplasms that pose significant surgical challenges. This study aims to evaluate the predictive utility of preoperative radiological characteristics on postoperative complications in patients undergoing CBT resection at a tertiary care center.

Cardiovascular complications remain one of the major all-cause mortalities among patients who receive either thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) or open surgical repair (OSR). Increased aortic stiffness after endograft deployment has been shown to induce left ventricular hypertrophy, diastolic dysfunction, and reduced coronary flow reserve. However, there is limited data on the hemodynamic effects after OR. The purpose of this study is to compare the cardiovascular and hemodynamic changes after TEVAR and OR.

Post-operative gastrointestinal hemorrhage (GIH) following mesenteric revascularization when performed either open (OR) or endovascularly (ER) has been clinically observed but not reported. The aim of the study is to assess the incidence and predictors of GIH in patients undergoing mesenteric revascularization.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) shrinkage is considered a marker for success following endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). Although maximum diameter is widely used to assess sac behavior, research indicates that changes in AAA morphology do not always affect the maximum diameter. The aim of this study is to investigate if automated AAA sac volume measurements after EVAR can add more nuanced information on sac behavior compared with maximum diameter evaluation alone.

The long term neuroophthalmic outcomes following carotid intervention in patients presenting with pre-operative visual symptoms vary widely based on the underlying etiology of retinal ischemia and are not well understood.

The best modality for elective popliteal artery aneurysm repair (PAR) remains controversial. Most single center studies suggest open popliteal aneurysm repair (OPAR) is more durable than endovascular (EPAR), but large randomized multicenter studies are lacking. This study compares long-term outcomes of EPAR and OPAR in the VQI-VISION database.

Endovascular interventions using drug-coated balloons (DCBs) have shown promise in improving outcomes for femoropopliteal revascularizations. Luminor, nanotechnology-based paclitaxel coated balloon, has demonstrated efficacy and safety in the Effpac trial. The LUMIFOLLOW registry, a large-scale, prospective, multicenter study, aims to assess the real-world performance of Luminor in femoropopliteal lesions.

This systematic review aims to study the available literature on the impact of SES on the surgical outcomes of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), carotid artery disease, and aortic aneurysms in the United States. The review also aims to report the diverse tools utilized to compute SES within the vascular surgery literature.

The optimal conduit for infrainguinal bypass (IIB) is single segment great saphenous vein (GSV). Unfortunately, GSV is not always available in patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI). Other graft choices include arm vein grafts (AV), prosthetic grafts (PG) or biologic grafts (BG). Current data regarding the durability and limb salvage rates of those options is scarce, hence we aimed to investigate the impact of alternative graft types on post-operative and long-term outcomes on IIB in patients with CLTI.

For relatives of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients, guidelines recommend abdominal imaging aimed at early detection and management of AAA, and do not include screening for thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA). We aimed to investigate if TAA occur in undiagnosed relatives of AAA patients without a known genetic susceptibility for aneurysms, similar to families with identified genetic susceptibilities for aneurysms like in Marfan and Loeys-Dietz syndrome, where both AAA and TAA occur.
