Fully automatic detection and segmentation of abdominal aortic thrombus in post-operative CTA images using deep convolutional neural networks [PDF]

, 2018
Computerized Tomography Angiography (CTA) based follow-up of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) treated with Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) is essential to evaluate the progress of the patient and detect complications. In this context, accurate quantification of post-operative thrombus volume is required.

Fenestrated Endovascular Aneurysm Repair versus Snorkel Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: Competing yet Complementary Strategies. [PDF]

, 2019
Juxtarenal/pararenal aortic aneurysms and type IV thoracoabdominal aneurysms pose particular technical challenges for endovascular repair as they involve the visceral segment in addition to insufficient infrarenal neck for the use of standard ...

Individual‐patient meta‐analysis of three randomized trials comparing endovascular versus open repair for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm

British Journal of Surgery, 2015
The benefits of endovascular repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm remain controversial, without any strong evidence about advantages in specific subgroups.

Metformin and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm [PDF]

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2017
Recently published data from a number of sources appear to suggest that the oral hypoglycaemic agent metformin may prevent abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) development, attenuate growth, and perhaps even prevent rupture. Previous studies have hinted that hypoglycaemic agents might reduce AAA expansion.1 The latest data, specific to metformin are ...

The Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Intraluminal Thrombus: Current Concepts of Development and Treatment

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2015
The pathogenesis of the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) shows several hallmarks of atherosclerotic and atherothrombotic disease, but comprises an additional, predominant feature of proteolysis resulting in the degradation and destabilization of the ...

Determination, Calculation and Representation of the Upper and Lower Sealing Zones During Virtual Stenting of Aneurysms [PDF]

Int J CARS, Vol. 5, Suppl. 1, pp. 13-14, Springer Press, June 2010, 2013
In this contribution, a novel method for stent simulation in preoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) acquisitions of patients is presented where the sealing zones are automatically calculated and visualized. The method is eligible for non-bifurcated and bifurcated stents (Y-stents).

The effect of aortic morphology on peri-operative mortality of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm

European Heart Journal, 2015
Aims To investigate whether aneurysm shape and extent, which indicate whether a patient with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) is eligible for endovascular repair (EVAR), influence the outcome of both EVAR and open surgical repair.

Endovascular repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm associated with crossed fused renal ectopia

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2020
Chimney/snorkel endovascular aneurysm repair (Ch-EVAR) enables the minimally invasive treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm in anatomically challenging and high-risk surgical cases. Here, we present the case of a 77-year-old man with an abdominal aortic
