Summary: The diameter of aortic abdominal aneurysm (AAA) is associated with late outcomes following repair, with patients with large AAA having higher rates of reintervention, rupture, mortality, and loss to follow-up after EVAR compared to those with smaller AAA or after open repair. Patients with large AAAs who are medically fit should consider undergoing open repair for better long-term outcomes and rigorous follow-up after EVAR is essential.

Summary: The study found that there were significant differences in all-cause mortality during the perioperative and postoperative period between EVAR and open repair. However, no significant difference was observed in aneurysm-related mortality. Recent studies and treated patients showed a more pronounced advantage for EVAR. The certainty for the body of evidence for overall and postdischarge all-cause mortality was judged to be low, while that for aneurysm-related mortality was high.

Summary: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a condition where the abdominal aorta dilates and grows until it ruptures. EVAR is a minimally invasive procedure using stent grafts to treat this condition. Recent advancements have introduced polymer-based technology as a safe and effective alternative to seal AAA.

Summary: The aim of this study was to analyze the outcomes and complications in patients who underwent open surgical treatment for AAA in the endovascular era. The study found that open aneurysm repair is safe and effective when performed in specialized high-volume centers.

Summary: Operative mortality rates did not significantly differ between EVAR and OSR, with EVAR showing less blood loss, shorter operative times, and shorter length of hospital stay but with higher re-intervention rates.

Summary: In this study using the Korean National Health Insurance Service database, it was found that prior use of statins before endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality.

Summary: In the Netherlands, JRAAA patients treated with open surgical repair have higher rates of major and minor complications, along with a higher risk of early mortality compared to those treated with complex endovascular repair.

Summary: Compared to the transperitoneal approach, the retroperitoneal approach may be more suitable for open repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm, and it is associated with lower peri-operative mortality and morbidity rates.

Summary: Late open surgical conversions after EVAR in high-volume centers can provide acceptable perioperative risks and promising outcomes. Elective open conversions are associated with excellent early and late results, while strategies involving complete endograft preservation can decrease perioperative morbidity.

Summary: This study assessed the time trends of open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in a high-volume single center in Austria over a 20-year period, focusing on operation time and clinical outcomes. The results showed that both endovascular aortic repair and open surgical repair had stable operation time and clinical outcomes.

Summary: TEVAR for M-TAA after previous EVAR, especially in octogenarians, is associated with higher perioperative and 5-year mortality. TEVAR after previous OAR showed no notable differences compared to primary TEVAR.

Summary: This study aims to define the indications for open aneurysm repair (OAR) and its impact on outcomes in the era of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). The results show that no single anatomical contraindication is a predictor of worse outcomes with OAR in patients who do not meet the criteria for EVAR. Patients who choose OAR based on preference have lower rates of perioperative complications, shorter hospital stays, and superior long-term survival rates compared to those who undergo OAR due to anatomical or systemic contraindications to EVAR.

Summary: The management of abdominal aortic aneurysms has been rigorously examined, with traditional open surgical repair improving long-term outcomes but associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Endovascular aneurysm repair has reduced early complications but introduced unique issues like endoleaks. A need for postoperative imaging surveillance and re-intervention arises due to the risks associated with endoleak development, influencing the selection of repair mode for individual patients.

Summary: This retrospective study analyzed the outcomes of symptomatic and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms treated with chimney or snorkel technique, demonstrating acceptable rates of morbidity and mortality with ChEVAR, but long-term data are needed to determine durability.

Summary: This cross-sectional study in France characterized the prevalence of pulmonary embolism in patients with COPD admitted to the hospital for acutely worsening respiratory symptoms, using a predefined diagnostic algorithm. The study found that pulmonary embolism was detected in 5.9% of patients, highlighting the importance of further research in this patient population.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the association between high PVOI at PE diagnosis and the risk of recurrent VTE. The results showed that PVOI >= 40% was an independent risk factor for VTE recurrence in PE patients, even six months after stopping anticoagulation therapy. Further prospective validation studies are needed to confirm these findings.
