Chronic thromboembolic disease among patients undergoing surgical pulmonary embolectomy for acute pulmonary embolism
CONCLUSIONS: Acute thromboembolic disease overlapping chronic clots is relatively common among patients undergoing pulmonary artery embolectomy. A detailed evaluation of the patient's medical history and imaging studies can identify these patients, as they require special attention when making treatment decisions. Surgical treatment in a center of expertise in pulmonary endarterectomy seems reasonable.PMID:38635283 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12931-X (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Impact of iliac access in elective and non-elective endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm
In conclusion, an accurate anatomical evaluation of iliac arteries during preoperative planning, materials availability, and skilled preparation to face iliac-related issues are crucial to address these challenges.PMID:38635284 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12987-4 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Physician-modified versus chimney endografting for pararenal aortic aneurysms: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Ch-EVAR and physician-modified technology are safe with low 30-day mortality in elective settings for pararenal aortic aneurysms repair. No significant differences were seen between the two surgical methods regarding the early major adverse events rate. However, higher occlusion rate for the chimneys can be expected over time.PMID:38635285 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12995-3 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Protagoras 3.0: feasibility of current fenestrated endografts and chimney technique for complex abdominal aortic aneurysms
CONCLUSIONS: Most of the patients treated by ChEVAR would have not been treated by first generation fenestrated stent graft. The current available fenestrated endografts, with lower profile and suitable also for angulated necks, increase the anatomical feasibility.PMID:38635286 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.13032-7 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Early multicentric outcomes of the on-label and CE-marked combination of the Endurant with the Radiant chimney graft for the chimney endovascular aortic repair (EnChEVAR): The LaMuR Registry
CONCLUSIONS: First reported cohort of patients treated with EnChEVAR demonstrated reproducible clinical and procedural outcomes within the 3 vascular centers with total exclusion of the aneurysms, patent renal arteries, and no evidence of gutter-related type IA endoleak. Further evidence with larger sample size of treated patients and longer follow-up are needed.PMID:38635287 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.13056-X (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

The myth of Daedalus and Icarus: fly between the extremes - pushing the limits of endovascular therapy in complex aortic aneurysms carries risks

Latest evidence on chimney endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms and the renal artery angulation pitfall
This article summarizes the key findings in literature up to date on the endovascular treatment of complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) employing the chimney technique. Additionally, an unexplored pitfall is described regarding the target vessel angulation. Although balloon-expandable covered stents present more favorable configuration in downward-oriented target vessels, transverse and upward-oriented target vessels may benefit from other endovascular techniques imploring careful case planning and further investigation on the topic.PMID:38618696 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12936-9 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Early and midterm results of covered balloon-expandable stents (VBX-Gore) for endovascular treatment of chronic aorto-iliac occlusion
CONCLUSIONS: Use of VBX (W. L. Gore and Associates) in ChO was safe and effective with low rate of stenosis/occlusion in the early and mid-term follow-up. TASC-II D and Grade III calcifications resulted as independent predictors for procedure-related reintervention.PMID:38618697 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12977-1 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Collapse of zone 0 landing TEVAR (Najuta) and the development of higher brain dysfunction
J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino). 2024 Apr 15. doi: 10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12982-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough thoracic endovascular repair (TEVAR)-specific complications often develop, stent-graft collapse is a rare, but fatal complication that requires attention. A 62-year-old male underwent TEVAR for a saccular distal arch aortic aneurysm. After the placement of the Gore TAG (W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc., Newark, DE, USA) from zones 2 to 4, a Najuta endograft (Kawasumi Laboratories, Inc., Tokyo, Japan) was deployed from zone 0. Neither intraoperative angiography nor postoperative contrast-enhanced computed to...
