Article Abstract
The objective of this study was to measure the pulsatile forces acting on a symmetric, bifurcated endoluminal stent graft to validate a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and analytic model so that they can be used for various graft dimensions. We used a load cell to measure the force owing to the movement of an acrylic model of a bifurcated stent graft under pulsatile flow. This was then simulated with a CFD and analytic model. The main features of the experimental pulsatile force data and the CFD results were consistent. The results showed that the total force was proportional to the inlet pressure cycle. The force rose from 3.32 N at 130 mm Hg systolic to 17.5 N at 250 mm Hg systolic pressure. For the more variable regions of the flow, the experimentally measured forces lagged the computational and analytic results. The CFD and analytic models provide approximate descriptions for the forces acting on a bifurcated stent graft subjected to pulsatile flow. Such models should be of assistance to designers of endoluminal stent grafts.

Objective: Sex specific anatomical differences may contribute to observed disparities in outcomes and suitability for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) between men and women with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). This study aimed to assess these differences using fully automated volume segmentation (FAVS) and explore implications for EVAR suitability.
Methods: This was a retrospective, multicentre cohort study of patients undergoing elective AAA repair between 2013 and 2023 in three UK tertiary centres.

Background: Repair strategies for pediatric vascular injuries must consider vascular growth and intervention durability. Endovascular interventions are increasingly utilized in pediatrics, particularly in unstable patients or for injuries in surgically morbid regions. This study describes a single-center experience with endovascular stenting in adolescent pediatric trauma.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) cirrhosis is now the second leading indication for liver transplantation (LT) worldwide and is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events before and after LT. Cirrhotics who undergo left heart catheterization (LHC) with coronary artery stenting for LT evaluation require dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Data regarding the safety, risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, and mortality risk of cirrhotics receiving DAPT is limited.

Purpose: Although stent grafts have demonstrated significant benefits over bare metal stents and conventional venoplasty at maintaining patency of dialysis vascular access, they are far from perfect and are prone to edge stenosis. A new strategy of placing stent graft to reduce the possible occurrence of edge stenosis is therefore proposed in this study.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review between 2015 and 2023 identified 21 arteriovenous grafts (AVG) hemodialysis patients who underwent stent graft placement with the medial stent end in an outflow venous valve.

Background: To compare the results of internal iliac artery (IIA) incorporation using balloon-expandable (BESG) versus self-expandable stent grafts (SESG) while using iliac branch devices (IBD) for endovascular repair of aorto-iliac artery aneurysms.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted. PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were searched for studies up to December 2024 that compared BESG and SESG for IBD during endovascular repair of aortoiliac aneurysms.
