Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is one of the leading causes of death in the developed world and is currently undertreated due to the complicated nature of the disease. Herein, we aimed to address the therapeutic potential of a novel class of pleiotropic mediators, specifically a new drug candidate, nitro-oleic acid (NO2-OA), on AAA, in a well-char...

Marfan syndrome (MFS) affects the cardiovascular system. Aortic root aneurysm is a pathognomonic feature of MFS; however, the abdominal aorta is rarely affected. A consensus on surveillance for the abdominal aorta in patients with MFS has not been established. In the present study, we compared the outcomes after open surgical repair (OSR) of abdomi...

Endovascular abdominal aortic repair can involve the incorporation of renal arteries. Revascularization after intentional or unintentional renal artery (RA) coverage is not always technically successful, and the loss of a single RA may result in the need for postoperative dialysis. Thus, we compared the outcomes after endovascular aneurysm repair (...

Despite promising early results, midterm failures of the Nellix endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) system (Endologix Inc, Irvine, Calif) have been reported at higher than expected rates. The management of proximal endoleaks and migration differs from those after conventional endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) owing to the peculiar design ...

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) sac shrinkage after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) has been regarded as positive marker of EVAR success durability. The purpose of this study was to describe the morphovolumetric changes of the AAA sac during follow-up after elective EVAR and to analyze sac shrinkage-related variables. This is a single-center, ret...

Symptomatic and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are increasingly being managed with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). We aimed to identify the outcomes of symptomatic and ruptured AAAs that had undergone EVAR with a chimney or snorkel technique (ChEVAR). A retrospective cohort study was performed using the Vascular Quality Initiative ...

Background Heparin is used worldwide for 70 years during all non-cardiac arterial procedures (NCAP) to reduce thrombo-embolic complications (TEC). But heparin also increases blood loss causing possible harm for the patient. Heparin has an unpredictable effect in the individual patient. The activated clotting time (ACT) can measure the effect of hep...

• Aortic aneurysms are asymptomatic in most cases. • When the aneurysm expands, symptoms such as abdominal pain and back pain may appear. • The extreme expansion led to dissociation and arterial obstruction of the left lower limb without typical symptoms.

Immune-mediated inflammation plays a key role in the pathology of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). We aimed to use a computational approach to profile the immune infiltration patterns and related core genes in AAA samples based on the overexpression of gene signatures. The microarray datasets of AAA and normal abdominal tissues were acquired from g...

Large, symptomatic and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms are usually treated surgically if patients are deemed fit enough. This may be achieved through endovascular or open surgical repair. The type of treatment that a patient receives is dependant on many factors, such as the rupture status of the aneurysm. Each approach is also associated with ...
