ABSTRACT Background and Aims Aortic aneurysm (AA) is a potentially fatal aortic disorder, particularly when complicated by rupture. Using Global Burden of Disease 2021 estimates, this study reported worldwide changes in AA mortality, disability‐adjusted life years (DALYs), and modeled risk‐attributable burden from 1990 to 2021.

Self‐Expanding Cardiovascular Stents: Potentials and Challenges of Shape Memory Biomaterials
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular diseases affect a large portion of the global population and remain leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Endovascular stenting, a minimally invasive procedure, enables the insertion and deployment of stents to restore arterial patency without open surgery.

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair of aortobronchial fistulas [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair of aortobronchial fistulas is an emerging treatment modality for this highly lethal condition. The feasibility and long-term durability of this form of intervention are largely unknown. METHODS: The records of five patients who received endografts to treat aortobronchial fistulas at our institution were ...

ABSTRACT Purpose To develop and validate a protocol for simultaneous volumetric T1 and T2 mapping with blood‐ and fat‐suppression, and apply it to patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) to assess tissue characteristics. Methods A spoiled gradient echo (SPGR) variable flip angle (VFA) acquisition was modified with preparation modules to suppress

Abstract Background and aims Tissue‐retained needles from intravenous drug use can cause rare but severe complications, ranging from local to systemic infections to needle embolization. Due to the limited evidence and the lack of epidemiological studies on the issue, we systematically reviewed the literature focusing on case reports and case series on ...

This retrospective case series evaluates the experience of endovascular aortic repair procedures at a single centre in Pakistan, focussing on patient selection, procedural feasibility, and associated challenges. The study includes 21 patients (six women and 15 men) who underwent various endovascular interventions: six received endovascular aneurysm ...

ABSTRACT Background Prosthesis‐patient mismatch (PPM) remains common following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and is associated with worse clinical outcomes. PPM is of particular concern in small aortic annuli (SAA). Aims To compare the incidence, predictors, and long‐term impact of PPM in SAA TAVR.
