Familial Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Is Associated With More Complications After ...
Luijtgaarden, K; Bastos Gonçalves, F; Hoeks, S; Majoor-Krakauer, D; Rouwet, E; Stolker, R; Verhagen, HOBJECTIVE: A familial predisposition to abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is present in approximately one-fifth of patients. Nevertheless, the clinical implications of a positive family history are not known. We investigated the risk of aneurysm-related complications after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for patients with and without a positive family history of AAA. METHODS: Patients treated with EVAR for ...
Lower Atherosclerotic Burden in Familial Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Luijtgaarden, K; Bastos Gonçalves, F; Hoeks, S; Valentijn, T; Stolker, R; Majoor-Krakauer, D; Verhagen, H; Rouwet, EOBJECTIVE: Despite the apparent familial tendency toward abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation, the genetic causes and underlying molecular mechanisms are still undefined. In this study, we investigated the association between familial AAA (fAAA) and atherosclerosis. METHODS: Data were collected from a prospective database including AAA patients between 2004 and 2012 in the Erasmus University Medical Center...
Adequate Seal and No Endoleak on the First Postoperative Computed Tomography An...
Bastos Gonçalves, F; Luijtgaarden, K; Hoeks, S; Hendriks, J; Raa, S; Rouwet, E; Stolker, R; Verhagen, HOBJECTIVE: Intensive image surveillance after endovascular aneurysm repair is generally recommended due to continued risk of complications. However, patients at lower risk may not benefit from this strategy. We evaluated the predictive value of the first postoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) characteristics for aneurysm-related adverse events as a means of patient selection for risk-adapted survei...
