Polyvascular disease (PolyvascDis) with atherosclerosis occurring in >2 vascular beds (coronary, carotid, aortic, visceral and/or peripheral arteries) is encountered in 15-30% of patients who experience greater rates of major adverse cardiovascular (CV) events. Every patient with multiple CV risk factors or presenting with CV disease in one arterial bed should be assessed for PolyvascDis clinically and noninvasively prior to invasive angiography. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) can be readily diagnosed in routine practice by measuring the ankle-brachial index...

INTRODUCTION: Smoking is one of key risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, including abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and carotid artery disease (CAD). Despite attempts being made to make the society aware of the consequences of passive and active smoking, as well as worldwide and nationwide epidemiologic research reflecting the scale of the problem, there are still a lot of smokers. AIM: The purpose of the study was to assess the relationship between the degree of addiction and the level of motivation for ceasing smoking in the case of patients before vascular surgery...

BACKGROUND: Endovascular repair of the thoracic aorta (TEVAR) is the preferred option for the treatment of the distal arch and descending thoracic aorta. Fenestrated and branched TEVAR have become an option to treat pathologies of the aortic arch, avoiding sternotomy and cardiopulmonary arrest as well as total surgical debranching. We describe here the case of a symptomatic patient with an arteria lusoria aneurysm associated with Kommerel diverticulum who underwent total endovascular repair with a triple-branched TEVAR...

OBJECTIVE: The aim was to evaluate early and medium-term outcomes of double fenestrated physician-modified endovascular grafts for total endovascular aortic arch repair. METHODS: This single-center retrospective analysis of prospectively-collected data included 100 patients, from January 2017 to December 2021, undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for zone 0. The fenestrations were a proximal larger fenestration that incorporated the brach2iocephalic trunk and left common carotid artery and a distal smaller fenestration for the left subclavian artery (LSA)...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: We investigated the incidence rate of perioperative complications following major vascular surgery, as well as identified the risk factors and preoperative clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic determinants, related to these complications. METHODS: We studied 241 patients with asymptomatic intact abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) subjected to open surgical repair, 182 with critical carotid stenosis subjected to endarterectomy (CEA), and 158 with severe symptomatic occlusive peripheral artery disease subjected to aortofemoral bypass (AFB)...

Background Epidemiological studies show that women are generally at lower risk for cardiovascular disease than men. Here, we investigated the sex-specific differential effect of genetically increased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other lipid-associated diseases. Methods and Results This is a 2-sample Mendelian randomization study that uses individual participant data from 425 043 participants from the UK Biobank, including 229 279 female participants...

Sclerostin is most recognized for its role in controlling bone formation but is also expressed in the heart, aorta, coronary, and peripheral arteries. This review summarizes research on sclerostin's role in cardiovascular disease. Rodent studies have found sclerostin to be expressed at sites of arterial calcification. In contrast, aortic sclerostin was reported to be downregulated in a mouse model of abdominal aortic aneurysm, and transgenic upregulation or administration of sclerostin was found to prevent abdominal aortic aneurysm and atherosclerosis formation...

INTRODUCTION: Vascular surgery has been greatly evolved during the last decades and novel minimally invasive techniques have been introduced. Aim of this review is to briefly present all these advances and compare them with traditional repairs. AREAS COVERED: The authors have extensively searched literature through the Pubmed and Embase databases. All articles published up to December 2021 referring to minimally invasive techniques used for treatment of peripheral artery disease, carotid disease, aortic aneurysms, and venous disease were evaluated...

PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the feasibility of urgent endovascular treatment of a traumatic aortic isthmus rupture in a patient with an aberrant right subclavian artery. CASE REPORT: A 23-year-old man was admitted to a regional trauma center after a motor vehicle collision and found to have cerebral trauma and a large pseudoaneurysm of the aortic arch. Trauma computed tomography (CT) identified a blunt traumatic thoracic aortic injury with an aortic false aneurysm in the context of an aberrant right subclavian artery...

Machine learning (ML) is a rapidly advancing field with increasing utility in health care. We conducted a systematic review and critical appraisal of ML applications in vascular surgery. MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL were searched from inception to March 1, 2021. Study screening, data extraction, and quality assessment were performed by two independent reviewers, with a third author resolving discrepancies. All original studies reporting ML applications in vascular surgery were included. Publication trends, disease conditions, methodologies, and outcomes were summarized...

Atherosclerotic vascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Atherosclerotic stenosis of the internal carotid or intracranial arteries causes up to 15% of strokes. Peripheral artery disease affects up to one in five people in the United States who are 60 years and older and nearly one-half of those who are 85 years and older. Renal artery stenosis may affect up to 5% of people with isolated hypertension and up to 40% of people with other atherosclerotic diseases. All patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease should receive a comprehensive program of guideline-directed medical therapy, including structured physical activity and lifestyle modification, an antiplatelet agent, a statin, antihypertensive therapy, and smoking cessation counseling...

PURPOSE: To achieve accurate rotational orientation and the axial position of unconstrained triple-fenestrated physician-modified endografts upon deployment in the aortic arch during total arch thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TA-TEVAR). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Following a detailed study of reconstructed computerized tomography angiography images of patients' arch anatomy, customized, sealable fenestrations with radio-opaque margins are created onsite on Valiant Captivia (Medtronic) endografts, transposing the arch branch ostial anatomic interrelationship onto the endograft precisely...

OBJECTIVE: The aim was to examine the presentation and outcome of patients with peripheral artery occlusive and aneurysmal disease (POAD) in relation to standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (SMuRFs; i.e., hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia, and smoking). METHODS: A total of 2 129 participants with POAD were recruited from three vascular clinics in Queensland, Australia. SMuRFs were defined using established criteria. Participants were followed via outpatient appointments and linked data to record the primary outcome event of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)...

Amongst the three major vascular beds (coronary, cerebrovascular, and peripheral), peripheral vascular disease (PVD) has traditionally received the least attention, despite its growing global burden. The aging population has led to the increased prevalence of PVD, thereby increasing visibility to its various diagnostic and treatment modalities. In the past decade, research and development of innovations in the management of PVD has exploded. Modern advances in imaging, molecular technology, medical devices, and surgical techniques have reduced the morbidity and mortality of PVD...
