Open repair of type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms: a real-world experien...

Abstract Introduction: Currently, type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA-IV) are treated primarily by endovascular repair. Despite the increased morbidity, there is still a role for open surgery in selected patients. This paper aims to present a descriptive analysis and outcome evaluation of open repair for TAAA-IV in our institution, where endovascular repair is generally the first-line treatment opti...

Conquering complex anatomy: EVAR success in a zig-zagging aortic aneurysm

Spinal cord ischemia in endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal and complex abd...

Abstract Introduction: Spinal cord ischemia (SCI) is an uncommon but one of the most terrifying complications associated with the treatment of extensive aortic aneurysms. Its pathophysiology, risk factors, and event characteristics must be clarified. This study aimed to perform a descriptive analysis of the cases of SCI after complex aortic repair at our center and to understand which factors contributed to the...

Impact of COVID-19 in Pediatric Patients and Young Adults with Inflammatory Bow...

Abstract Introduction: Acute COVID-19 in pediatric and young adult patients tends to be milder in severity compared to adult infection. Recent studies seem to show that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients are at no greater risk than the general population. We aim to describe our experience in the follow-up of pediatric and young adult patients with IBD followed in our center and determine possible risk fa...

Epidemiology of Aortic Dissections - Understanding the Aortic Catastrophe

Abstract Acute aortic dissections are unpredictable aortic catastrophes. Although significant recent improvements have been accomplished in the treatment and management of aortic dissections, a significant amount is still not fully understood regarding this deadly condition. Comprehension of aortic dissections is especially important due to the impact of the disease, since a lot of patients die before reaching ...

Prevalence of asymptomatic visceral occlusive disease in patients admitted for ...

Abstract Introduction: Occlusive disease of the visceral vessels, when complicated, may lead to a high mortality rate. Current data regarding the co-prevalence of atherosclerotic disease of the lower limbs and visceral vessels is scarce. The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of splanchnic and renal visceral occlusive disease in patients admitted for chronic lower limb ischemia (CLLI). Methods: A c...

Out of hospital cardiac arrests and aortic dissection

Abstract Introduction: Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) is one of the main causes of death worldwide. Most of the intrinsic causes of OHCA tend to be of cardiac origin, however, non-cardiac etiologies such as acute aortic dissection (AAD) may be more common than previously thought. The aim of this focused review is to summarize current knowledge on the association between OHCA and AAD. Methods: A systemati...
