Lipoprotein(a) Levels in Patients With Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

2016

Circulating markers relevant to the development of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are currently required. Lipoprotein(a), Lp(a), is considered a candidate marker associated with the presence of AAA. The present meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the association between circulating Lp(a) levels and the presence of AAA. The PubMed-based search was conducted up to April 30, 2015, to identify the studies focusing on Lp(a) levels in patients with AAA and controls. Quantitative data synthesis was performed using a random effects model, with standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) as summary statistics. Overall, 9 studies were identified. After a combined analysis, patie…

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in the Emergency Department

2020

AbstractThe skin, nerves, and tendons are superficial anatomical structures that can easily be investigated with an ultrasound (US) examination in the emergency department (ED). US evaluation is relatively underused in musculoskeletal evaluation when compared with other emergency applications, such as abdominal trauma, possible aortic aneurysm, and in the cardiovascular system. The aim of this article is to revise the main bone and soft tissue conditions that can be assessed using US in the ED.

How to diagnose and treat abdominal compartment syndrome after endovascular and open repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms

2014

Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) are frequently encountered in patients treated for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA) and carry a high morbidity and mortality risk. Despite these facts, IAH/ACS are still overlooked by many physicians, timely diagnosis is missed and treatment often inadequate. All staff involved in the treatment of rAAA should be aware of the risk factors predicting IAH/ACS, the profound implications and derangements on all organ systems, the clinical presentation, the appropriate measurement of intra-abdominal pressure to detect IAH/ACS and the current treatment options for these detrimental syndromes. This comprehensive r…

CT angiography for the assessment of EVAR complications : a pictorial review

EVAR consists in a stent-graft placement within the aorta in order to exclude the aneurysm from arterial circulation and reduce the risk of rupture. Knowledge of the various types of devices is mandatory because some stents/grafts are more frequently associated with complication…

Periscopes, chimneys, sandwich and VORTEC to facilitate abdominal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair

2012

The VORTEC (VIABAHN open revascularization technique) and the chimney graft technique are tools with which to maintain or restore blood flow to the aortic branches and can be used intentionally or as a bailout procedure in open surgery or endovascular procedures. VORTEC is a stent graft-based vascular connection technique that achieves end-to-end anastomosis configuration; it is especially useful when the traditional suture technique proves (can be) cumbersome. It is also a speedy tool with virtually no blood flow interruption and no anastomotic bleeding, and patency rates compare favorably with sutured anastomosis. The chimney/periscope, as well as the sandwich graft technique (CHIMPES), i…

Hypotensive Hemostasis in Patients Presenting with Ruptured Aortic Aneurysm

2017

Hypotensive hemostasis in aortic rupture has been showed to be feasible and advantageous, especially in trauma patients. To date, there are no randomized studies on hypotensive hemostasis in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA), but observational studies indicate similar advantages when hypotensive hemostasis is used for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) as in trauma patients. Actually, in EVAR for rAAA, a target systolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or even lower is considered safe in conscious patients. Fluids should be administrated judiciously with the sole aim of maintaining adequate cardiac output and tissue oxygenation, whereas vasoactive pressors or dilatators may …

Effect of aneurysm on the mechanical dissection properties of the human ascending thoracic aorta

2012

Objectives: The acute dissection of an ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (ATAA) represents a devastating separation of elastic layers occurring when the hemodynamic loads on the diseased wall exceed the adhesive strength between layers. At present, the mechanics underlying aortic dissection are largely unclear, and the biomechanical delamination properties of the aneurysmal aorta are not defined. Individuals with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) are particularly predisposed to ascending aortic aneurysm formation, with a marked risk of aortic dissection. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the dissection properties of nonaneurysmal and aneurysmal human ascending thoracic aorta …

Assessment of EVAR Complications using CIRSE Complication Classification System in the UK Tertiary Referral Centre: A ∼6-Year Retrospective Analysis …

2021

Purpose: To retrospectively analyse complications in endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) interventions and evaluate if the CIRSE (Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe) complication classification system is appropriate as a standardized classification tool for EVAR patients. Materials and Methods: Demographic, procedural and complication data in 719 consecutive patients undergoing EVAR at one institution from January 2014 to October 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Data (imaging reports, procedural reports, nurse notes, discharge summary reports) were collected consulting the electronic patient record system (EPR) of the hospital and cleaned and stored in a Micro…
