..Unlike RCTs, they do not establish superiority or non-inferiority of the examined therapy, and study populations must be carefully inspected to ensure validity of comparisons to historical controls...

..Suggestions for adjunctive pharmacotherapy and graft monitoring are presented. While EVPAR is unlikely to displace open surgical repair in the near future, it provides a valuable alternative for selected patients...

..Current and future human trials will ascertain if bioabsorbable stents truly deliver a physiologic advantage in the treatment of peripheral occlusive disease...

..This article compares these newer therapeutic avenues with conventional surgical techniques. Relevant clinical trials are reviewed,with a focus on outcomes beneficial to the elderly population...

..The 3-year outcomes data from this trial will better define the role of percutaneous intervention for complex superficial femoral artery disease...

..We report the outcomes of a single-center experience with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in nonagenarians...

..The purpose of this study is to evaluate the arterial access and the selective use of the ascending aorta for thoracic endograft placement...

..The purpose of this study was to evaluate the midterm outcomes of treatment with this device...

..We prospectively compared the outcomes of patient treatment with these two device configurations...

..The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of the recently approved Talent endograft for AAAs with a short aortic neck length (10-15 mm)...

..However, endovascular popliteal artery repair (EVPAR) has been used in selected patients because of its less invasive nature. In this report, we present our long-term outcomes for EVPAR...

..This study documents mid-term outcomes of a series of endovascular popliteal aneurysm repairs compared with concurrent results of open surgical repair...

..To evaluate the outcomes of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in patients with small (≤5.4 cm) and large (≥5.5 cm) abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs)...

..To analyze the relationship between perioperative HA occlusion and postoperative ischemic colitis, we reviewed our experience over 2 years with Food and Drug Administration-approved endovascular graft devices for treatment of AIAs...

..We evaluated the midterm results of percutaneous endovascular treatment of T2EL with aneurysm expansion...

..By adhering to technical protocols, avoiding excessive instrumentation in the aortic arch, using flow reversal in selected lesions, and matching the appropriate anatomy and stent, results of carotid artery stenting can be exceptional...

..To compare the long-term outcomes of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) using the Talent endograft for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) with large and small aortic necks...

..This technique has been successfully used in three patients at high risk for conventional repair...

..Despite this, most cases are treatable by endovascular means. Long-term follow-up is needed to assess the ultimate frequency of these combined device reconstructions...

..As much as possible, this includes the functional use of a prosthetic device fitted to the residual limb. Early prosthetic fit depends, in turn, on rapid healing of the amputation site...

..We reviewed the literature and discuss the complications of AV fistulae after EVLT...

..Longer follow-up will determine whether this conservative approach to management of type II endoleak is the standard of care...

..Acute aortic disruption, with its associated high surgical morbidity and mortality, is an excellent indication for endovascular therapy to improve patient outcomes. More long-term data are needed on repair durability...

..The use of a thoracic endograft as a proximal aortic cuff is a feasible technique for patients unable to tolerate open aortic reconstruction...

....

..Therefore we believe this in vivo large animal model can be instrumental in the study of many aspects of the physiologic features of type II endoleak...

..The patient recovered without significant clinical sequelae. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of intraoperative endovascular repair of a thoracic aortic injury incurred during posterior approach spinal surgery...

..These thromboembolic events can be successfully treated if the complication is rapidly identified and the physician is adequately prepared and proficient in neurorescue techniques...

..The role of endoluminal techniques in the diagnosis and management of such lesions is discussed...

..2 and 100%, respectively. In conclusion, despite a higher rate of MAEs within the first year and higher migration rates at five years, EVAR in aneurysms with challenging aortic necks can be treated with acceptable long-term results...

..Further developments are necessary to improve the current results and increase the proportion of women being safely and effectively treated with endovascular devices...

..To assess whether women suffer more delayed complications or require more interventions after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair...
