The introduction of 3D printing in the medical field led to new possibilities in the planning of complex procedures, as well as new ways of training junior physicians. Especially in the field of vascu...
3D-printed models of aortic aneurysms can be used for procedural training of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR), which can help boost the physician's confidence in the procedure, leading to a better ou...
Based on the digital 3D model created for 3D printing, another new visualization technique might see future applications in the field of vascular interventions: virtual reality (VR). It enables the ph...
Adequate antithrombotic therapy is essential to prevent thrombus formation during percutaneous endovascular interventions (PVI). We hypothesize that interventions for non-complex lesions of iliac arte...
Iliac PVIs performed without procedural anticoagulation were retrospectively screened between 2017 and 2021. Baseline characteristics of patients, in-hospital events and 30-day follow-ups were obtaine...
We identified 108 iliac interventions without procedural anticoagulation, median age of 62 (interquartile range 56-68) years, 9 (8.3%) females. Median lesion length was 30 (19-50) mm. We observed a th...
Non-complex lesions of iliac arteries can be managed within a time frame similar to that of lower extremity diagnostic procedures. These interventions can be performed safely without procedural antico...
Endovascular repair of the ascending aorta and aortic arch has evolved at an astonishing pace in the past several decades. Results of endovascular arch repair in experienced centers have been improvin...
Intra- or peri-procedural aneurysm rupture is one of the most feared adverse effects associated with embolization. Our aim was to report the characteristics of patients suffering intra- or peri-proced...
Between March 1994 and October 2021, 648 consecutive cerebral aneurysms were treated by endovascular procedure at our facility. Medical records were reviewed retrospectively with emphasis on procedure...
Of the 648 patients, 17 (2.6%) suffered an intra- or peri-procedural hemorrhagic event. The most common location was the anterior communicating artery. There was no significant difference between prev...
Aneurysmal rupture during endovascular therapy is unpredictable, and its occurrence can be devastating. The incidence is quite low although the outcome is frequently poor. Early detection and proper m...
Advanced pregnancy is associated with a higher risk of complicated aortopathies owing to the physiologic changes in pregnancy. The diagnosis can be elusive due to its rare incidence. The optimal treat...
The evolution of endovascular surgery over the past 30 years has made it possible to treat increasingly complex vascular pathologies with an endovascular method. Although this generally speeds up the ...
For this systematic review Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane library databases were searched on 28 December 2021 to provide an overview of tools that are currently used or have the potential to contribute t...
Radiation-reducing instruments such as fiber optic shape sensing or electromagnetic tracking devices offer the possibility to further reduce or even eliminate the use of radiation during endovascular ...
Multiple studies have validated the Emergency Surgery Score (ESS) as a tool which reliably predicts outcomes after emergency general surgery. The purpose of this study was to assess the performance of...
The American College of Surgeons' National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was retrospectively analyzed for patients undergoing neLEE between 2015 and 2019. The performance of the ESS in...
Four thousand five hundred and eighty three patients underwent neLEE with median age 68 (±12.3 SD), with 1802 females (39.3%). The ESS correlated with 30-day mortality (area under the curve [AUC] was ...
The ESS score is associated with 30-day mortality and other complications after neLEE procedures. It can potentially be used as a predictive tool for preoperative risk stratification and can also be u...
Percutaneous endovascular treatment for arterial vascular diseases has revolutionized vascular care. While these procedures offer improved morbidity, mortality, and length of stay (LOS), their effect ...
Patients who underwent surgery for common vascular pathologies (abdominal aortic aneurysm, aortoiliac occlusive disease, lower extremity disease, and carotid stenosis) were identified from the America...
Of 80,311 patients evaluated, median LOS did not change from 2014 to 2019 (2, interquartile range 1-5). Overall, 15.7% of patients experienced any 30-day complication, with 31.3% occurring after disch...
Across 4 representative common vascular pathologies, endovascular treatments had a higher proportion of postdischarge complications compared to open procedures. Early identification and evaluation of ...
Current planning of aortic and peripheral endovascular procedures is based largely on manual measurements performed from the 3-dimensional reconstruction of preoperative computed tomography scans. Ass...
Revascularization procedures are considered the cornerstone of therapy in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) and multiple procedures are often required to attain limb salvage. The aim of the p...
From November 2013 to May 2021, 324 consecutive patients were retrospectively included, of whom 99 underwent more than one revascularization procedure for contralateral CLI or clinical recurrence of C...
A total of 324 consecutive patients were included, 177 men and 147 women with CLI, with a mean age of 77.6±11.9years. Most of these patients had cardiovascular comorbidities (41% with a history of cor...
The present results highlight that multiple revascularization procedures for limb salvage are required in almost one third of the population with critical limb ischemia and were associated with the ri...
