Long Term Outcomes of Open or Endovascular Treatment for Arterial Manifestations in Behçet Disease.

Objective: Behçet disease (BD) is a rare multisystemic disorder with occasional involvement of large vessels. While many patients with BD are managed medically, arterial manifestations often necessitate surgical or endovascular intervention. This study aimed to analyse invasively treated arterial involvement in BD and identify risk factors for recurrent re-interventions.

The Impact of Simulator Training of Vascular Anastomosis and Video Assessment for Surgical Residents.

Background: The rapid increase of minimally invasive surgery and the shortened training period for surgical residents has resulted in limited opportunities to acquire proficiency in open surgical techniques, such as vascular anastomosis. However, vascular anastomosis remains an essential skill in every surgery for bleeding control. This study aimed to validate the effectiveness of surgical education model for vascular anastomosis and assess the impact on the comprehension, skill, and confidence of surgical residents in performing vascular anastomosis.

Late Type III Endoleak after Loss of Component Overlap after EVAR with AFX2 Device: A Case Report.

Addressing the high incidence of late type III endoleaks in previous AFX models, Endologix upgraded the device material and updated its recommendation regarding component overlap. However, whether upgraded AFX2 models are safe for endoleaks remains controversial. Here we report a case of a 67-year-old male with an AFX2-implanted abdominal aortic aneurysm experiencing a delayed type IIIa endoleak.
