Physician burnout has been linked to medical errors, decreased patient satisfaction, and decreased career longevity. In light of the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disease, vascular surgeon burnout presents a legitimate public health concern owing to the impact on the adequacy of the vascular surgery workforce. The aims of this study were ...

The safety and effectiveness of using the hybrid approach to treat tandem carotid lesions is controversial, and the clinical significance of the technical variants on the perioperative outcomes has not been evaluated. The present meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the technique, safety, effectiveness, and long-term outcomes of the hybrid appro...

Endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) is an innovative alternative to conventional endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). EVAS relies on sac anchoring without proximal fixation to achieve sealing and should have allowed for the treatment of a broader range of anatomic features compared with standard EVAR. Despite the encouraging early reports, the mid...

We evaluated the therapeutic outcomes of embolotherapy for bone arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) affecting the extremities using ethanol, coils, and n-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA). We reviewed the data from 36 patients (18 males, 18 females; mean age 25 years; age range, 1-64 years) with bone AVMs affecting their extremities who had undergone embol...

Carotid artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms (extracranial carotid artery aneurysm [ECCAs]) are relatively rare. The gold standard treatment has historically been open repair; however, there is increasing evidence of successful treatment of ECCAs with endovascular techniques. Our study examines the evolving experience with endovascular management o...

Complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) can preclude the use of endovascular aortic repair. In patients unable to undergo open surgical repair (OSR), the use of endografts outside the instructions for use might be the only option. We present the case of a woman with a highly angulated infrarenal AAA neck who was unsuitable for OSR and was success...

Type B aortic dissection (TBAD) is commonly thought of as a sporadic event. However, an increasing body of data has suggested that genetic factors can influence TBAD. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of heritable TBAD, defined as either syndromic TBAD or nonsyndromic familial TBAD and to detail the natural history and long-term clinical outc...

The first annual Women's Vascular Summit highlighted sex- and gender-related knowledge gaps in vascular disease diagnosis and treatment. This finding suggests an opportunity for further research to improve care and outcomes in people who identify as women, specifically. The purpose of this study was to a large national dataset to identify all opera...

Thoracofemoral bypass (TFB) has been used infrequently but is an alternative for select patients with aortoiliac occlusive disease. Limited data are available in the reported data regarding TFB, with all studies small, single-center series. We aimed to describe the perioperative and long-term survival, patency, and rate of major perioperative compl...

Frailty has persistently been associated with unfavorable short-term outcomes after vascular surgery, including an increased complication risk, greater readmission rate, and greater short-term mortality. However, a knowledge gap remains concerning the association between preoperative frailty and long-term mortality. In the present study, we aimed t...
