Article Abstract

Aortic aneurysm in children is rare, but has been described in the tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) population. While surgical repair has been utilized as the primary means of intervention, we present the first known case reporting exclusion of a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm with percutaneous covered stent implantation in a pediatric patient with TSC. A review of the literature is also included herein.

This is a systematic review and meta-analysis of preoperative patient education interventions used in vascular surgery and their impact on patient knowledge. Embase, PubMed, and Ovid were searched in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. For inclusion, studies involved an educational intervention for a vascular surgery procedure and patient knowledge was an outcome.

Aims: To examine the association between elevated body mass index (BMI) and a wide range of vascular and cardiometabolic diseases in men and women.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from the IQVIA Disease Analyzer database, comprising anonymized records from over 3000 office-based physicians in Germany. We included 233 730 patients aged ≥40 years with at least one recorded BMI measurement between January 2005 and December 2023.

Objective: Endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular diseases can be challenging in patients with difficult access routes. We describe a turn-over technique using a balloon guiding catheter (BGC) via the transfemoral approach to perform neuroendovascular treatment.

Case Presentation: An 80-year-old female with a recurrent right middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm after coil embolization underwent successful stent-assisted coiling via the transfemoral approach.

Urgent repair of complex aortic aneurysms not amenable to standard endovascular aneurysm repair is technically challenging and limited by existing technology. Physician-modified endografts are associated with challenges such as time-consuming preparation, the need for graft constraint, and the risk of misalignment-particularly in angulated aortas. In situ fenestration, although a valuable alternative, carries the risk of visceral ischemia.

Pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) aneurysm is rare. A 79-year-old man with an abdominal aortic aneurysm and celiac artery stenosis caused by median arcuate ligament compression underwent endovascular aneurysm repair. On postoperative day 1, the patient experienced sudden abdominal pain and hypotension.
