Radiation Exposure in Endovascular Infra-Renal Aortic Aneurysm Repair and Factors that Influence It
Objective: The endovascular repair of aortic abdominal aneurysms exposes the patients and surgical team to ionizing radiation with risk of direct tissue damage and induction of gene mutation. This study aims to describe our standard of radiation exposure

Assessment of Aortic Aneurysm Rupture Risk [PDF]
The rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is associated with a high mortality. When an AAA ruptures, 50% of the patients die before reaching the hospital. Of the patients that are able to reach the operating room, only 50% have it successfully repaired (Fillinger et al, 2003).

An 80-year-old male with a ruptured pseudoaneurysm after aortic dissection repair underwent thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair. The aneurysm expanded from 43 mm to 89 mm over 4 years because of type II endoleak, with computed tomography angiography ...

Patient-specific simulation of stent-graft deployment within an abdominal aortic aneurysm [PDF]
In this study, finite element analysis is used to simulate the surgical deployment procedure of a bifurcated stent-graft on a real patient's arterial geometry. The stent-graft is modeled using realistic constitutive properties for both the stent and most importantly for the graft. The arterial geometry is obtained from pre-operative imaging exam.

Hybrid endovascular operation for ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysm [PDF]
The rupture of a thoracic aortic aneurysm is a life-threatening emergency. Conventional open surgical repair carries a high mortality and morbidity. We report an elderly patient who suffered from rupture of a proximal descending thoracic aortic aneurysm ...

Novel technique for inline orientation of disarticulated limbs to seal type III endoleaks
In this report, we present a novel maneuver used to align disarticulated limbs to resolve a type III endoleak. The patient, a 77-year-old man, initially underwent endovascular abdominal aortic repair for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm in 2017 ...

Women undergoing endovascular thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair differ significantly from their male counterparts preoperatively and postoperatively [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: A rational approach to the management of aortic aneurysm disease relies on weighing the risk of aneurysm rupture against the complications and durability of operative repair.
