Article Abstract
Background: In endovascular aneuysm repair (EVAR) procedures, medical instruments are currently navigated with a two-dimensional imaging based guidance requiring X-rays and contrast agent.
Methods: Novel approaches for obtaining the three-dimensional instrument positions are introduced. Firstly, a method based on fibre optical shape sensing, one electromagnetic sensor and a preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan is described. Secondly, an approach based on image processing using one 2D fluoroscopic image and a preoperative CT scan is introduced.
Results: For the tracking based method, average errors from 1.81 to 3.13 mm and maximum errors from 3.21 to 5.46 mm were measured. For the image-based approach, average errors from 3.07 to 6.02 mm and maximum errors from 8.05 to 15.75 mm were measured.
Conclusion: The tracking based method is promising for usage in EVAR procedures. For the image-based approach are applications in smaller vessels more suitable, since its errors increase with the vessel diameter.

Outcomes of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms in older adults and who should be offered surgery.

As life expectancy increases, the prevalence of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA) poses a significant challenge for our healthcare system. Aging induces biochemical changes, including degradation of the extracellular matrix and loss of vascular smooth muscle cells, which increase the propensity for the development of aneurysms and subsequent rupture due to compromised integrity of the aortic wall. The mortality rate for elderly patients presenting with rAAA is high, ranging from 80 to 90%.

Introduction: Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a serious complication that can occur after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA). Prompt recognition and appropriate management are crucial to improve patient outcomes.
Case Presentation: An octogenarian with an 11-cm rAAA underwent emergent EVAR due to cardiovascular instability.

Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
Introduction: Patients with aortic aneurysms are at elevated risk of rupture, dissection and death during and after transcatheter aortic valve repair (TAVR), often requiring consideration for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) at the time of TAVR. However, data comparing outcomes of simultaneous versus staged TAVR-EVAR are limited.
Methods: Using the National Inpatient Sample between the years 2018 and 2021, we compared in-hospital outcomes of simultaneous and staged TAVR-EVAR.

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.

Objectives: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) can cause radiation exposure and iodinated contrast material (ICM) damage. Here, we aimed to conclude the clinical benefits of image fusion (IF) guidance in EVAR in our center and share our experience on 0 ICM usage in magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)-IF-guided EVAR and explore its feasibility.
Methods: All patients who underwent EVAR at our center between January 2018 and December 2024 were included in this study.
