Introduction: The aim of this article is to compare the long-term efficacy of Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) versus Optimal Medical Therapy (OMT) in reducing mortality among adult patients with uncomplicated Stanford type B aortic dissection (uSTBAD).
Methods: An electronic search of PubMed, Cochrane Central and Google Scholar was conducted for studies comparing TEVAR with OMT for mortality in adult patients with uSTBAD. Relevant outcomes, including mortality, aortic rupture, re-intervention, retrograde type A dissection, myocardial infarction and stroke were analyzed and presented as risk ratios (RRs) along with their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a prevalent and debilitating condition in elderly patients, often leading to critical limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) and major amputations. While endovascular interventions are usually preferred for their lower perioperative risk, open surgical revascularization should also be considered due to its durability and superior patency in complex disease patterns. Age alone does not determine suitability for surgery; rather, candidacy hinges on frailty, functional status, comorbidities, and anatomical considerations.

Methods: This prospective cohort study included consecutive patients with AIOD who underwent aortoiliac angioplasty, and two groups of patients were evaluated: patients with AIOD submitted to endovascular treatment with the use of covered stents and bare metal stents. Patients with critical limb ischemia or incapacitating claudication who underwent aortoiliac angioplasty during the index period were eligible for the study.

Background And Study Aims: Direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN) is a safe and effective option in the treatment of pancreatic walled-off necrosis (WOPN). Whether DEN should be performed immediately after drainage (DEN) or as a step-up approach (SUA) is unknown. The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare SUA with DEN in the treatment of WOPN.

Objective: To evaluate the long-term performance of a bovine pericardium valve prosthesis in individuals who required valve replacement in the Brazilian public health system.
Methods: Medical records of patients having mitral or aortic valve replacement with bovine pericardium valve prostheses between 1978 and 1994 at a Brazilian hospital were reviewed in this retrospective study. Safety was assessed through the complications and serious adverse events rates in the early and long terms.
