Anatomic Predictors for Late Mortality after Standard Endovascular Aneurysm Repair
Oliveira, N; Ultee, K; van Rijn, MJ; Pinto, JP; Raa, S; Bastos Gonçalves, F; Hoeks, S; Verhagen, HObjective: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) management involves a decision process that takes into account anatomic characteristics, surgical risks, patients' preferences, and expected survival. Whereas larger AAA diameter has been associated with increased mortality after both standard endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and open repair, it is unclear whether survival after EVAR is influenced by other anatomic ...
Patients with Large Neck Diameter Have a Higher Risk of Type IA Endoleaks and A...
Oliveira, N; Bastos Gonçalves, F; Ultee, K; Pinto, JP; Rijn, MJ; Raa, S; Mwipatayi, P; Böckler, D; Hoeks, S; Verhagen, HObjective: Standard endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is the most common treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). EVAR has been increasingly used in patients with hostile neck features. This study investigated the outcomes of EVAR in patients with neck diameters ≥30 mm in the prospectively maintained Endurant Stent Graft Natural Selection Global Postmarket Registry (ENGAGE). Methods: This is a retrospe...
Long-Term Outcomes of Standard Endovascular Aneurysm Repair in Patients With Se...
Oliveira, N; Bastos Gonçalves, F; Hoeks, S; Josee van Rijn, M; Ultee, K; Pinto, JP; Raa, S; van Herwaarden, J; de Vries, JP; Verhagen, HObjective: Severe neck angulation is associated with complications after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Newer endografts may overcome this limitation, but the literature lacks long-term results. We studied the long-term outcomes of EVAR in patients with severe neck angulation. Methods: A retrospective case-control study of a prospective multicenter database was performed. All measurements were made with d...
Ileal intussusception due to a parasite egg: A case report.
Pinto, JP; Cordeiro, A; Ferreira, AM; Antunes, C; Botelho, P; Rodrigues, AJ; Leão, PIleal intussusception is the invagination of the small intestine within itself and accounts for 1% of cases of acute obstruction. However, physicians do not initially consider intussusception as a possible diagnosis of obstruction due to its rarity in adults. Herein, we report the case of a 22-year-old male who was admitted to the Emergency Department with continuous abdominal pain. Ultrasonography and computed...
