To report the results of pre-emptive embolization of collateral branches of the abdominal aorta in patients undergoing standard bifurcated EVAR versus those undergoing standard EVAR without embolization. This study is a single-center, retrospective, observational cohort analysis of consecutive patients who underwent elective standard endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) between 1 October 2013, and 31 December 2022, with a minimum follow-up period of 2 years. The patients were divided into two groups: group A, which did not receive embolization, and group B, which underwent pre-emptive embolization of aortic collateral branches.

Background: To analyze clinical outcomes and perform a macro-costing evaluation of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for aorto-iliac aneurysms.
Methods: This is a retrospective, financially unsupported, physician-initiated observational cohort study. Patients with iliac artery involvement treated with EVAR between January 1st, 2014 and December 31st, 2021 were identified.
Background: This article describes a chimney technique (ChEVAR) to preserve the patency of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) in a patient with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and bilateral internal iliac artery obstruction. In addition, a review of the literature is performed.
Case Report: This article describes a male in his 70s with multiple comorbidities and a 5.

Pulmonary infection of 2019-nCoV can frequently induce acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with partial pressure of arterial oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen ratio (pO2/FiO2) of less than 300 mmHg. Moreover, it can be complicated with cardiac injury or arrhythmia, microvascular and large-vessel thrombosis. We describe a case of a patient with COVID19-ARDS and concomitant critical ischemia of the limbs.

Methods: We performed a single-center, observational cohort study. The data from all patients who had tested positive for COVID-19 and had presented with ALI requiring urgent operative treatment were collected in a prospectively maintained database.
Subclavian Artery Dissection (SAD) is a rare condition, generally due to arterial catheterization, blunt trauma or connective tissue disease. Spontaneous or minimally traumatic cases have also been reported. Clinical manifestations are usually chest and/or back pain, pulse loss and paresthesia, whereas nausea, dizziness and vomiting are present in case of involvement of the vertebral artery.
