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: 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: 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: This study explores the feasibility of using unenhanced CT images for endoleak detection in AAA after EVAR. The results show that unenhanced CT has high sensitivity and specificity and can help detect endoleaks in AAA. This is of great importance for patients who cannot use contrast media.

Summary: In this study, racial differences in presentation and outcomes for patients undergoing endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair were identified. Black patients were more often women, younger, and treated in emergency situations. They had longer hospital stays and a higher risk of readmission.

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: 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: Peripheral vascular disease caused by brucellosis is often overlooked, leading to a lack of screening and delayed treatment. There is currently no standard for diagnosing and treating this condition. This study reports on the treatment of abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm caused by brucellosis and reviews its incidence, treatment, and prognosis.

Summary: This review provides an overview of the evidence for anatomic predictors of positive and negative abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) sac remodeling after endovascular repair. The presence of neck thrombus, AAA thrombus, number of hostile neck parameters, total AAA volume, AAA flow-lumen volume, and aortic calcification were identified as important anatomic features that may play a role in AAA remodeling. However, strong and consistent evidence regarding the anatomic predictors of AAA sac remodeling after endovascular repair is still lacking.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the relationship between body composition (BC) and postoperative abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) progression. The results showed that muscle imaging features are associated with volume change of postoperative aneurysms and can be used for early prediction, while the relationship between adipose tissue and AAA growth is unclear.

Summary: In this study comparing aortoduodenal fistulas (ADFs) after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) vs after open aortic repair (OAR), it was found that patients in the OAR group had significantly higher postoperative complication rates compared to the EVAR group. The most common bacteria identified in blood cultures were Escherichia coli, with Candida spp. being the predominant pathogen found on intra-abdominal smears.

Summary: This study reviewed open abdominal aortic surgery cases performed at a tertiary care center from 2007 to 2020 and found that complex open aortic aneurysm repair (OAR) comprised the majority, but were not accounted for in the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI). The study suggests the creation of a VQI module for complex OAR to improve benchmarking for volume and outcomes in aortic surgery.

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 objective of this study was to develop a prediction model using the psoas muscle index (PMI) to predict mortality after EVAR. The SAS scoring system, which incorporates age, aneurysm diameter, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and PMI, showed excellent predictive performance for all-cause mortality after elective EVAR.
