    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the anatomic suitability of the Zenith pivot branch (p-branch) fenestrated device in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA).
    Methods: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images of 206 patients (mean age 75±8 years; 175 men) with rAAA were evaluated in a dedicated 3-dimensional vascular workstation. All aneurysms found unsuitable for standard infrarenal repair were evaluated for Zenith p-branch suitability according to the Investigational Device Exemption protocol for both device configurations (A, pivot fenestrations at the same level; B, right renal fenestration located more cranially).
    Results: The suitability of the p-branch (A or B configuration) for short neck aneurysms (<15 mm; n=89) was 49%; of the 26 different combinations of exclusion criteria, a mismatch between a renal artery takeoff and the positioning of the corresponding fenestration was the most common. For juxta- and pararenal aneurysms (neck length <10 mm; n=66), suitability was 48%. Suitability assessed by target vessel positioning only (excluding all other limiting factors) was 58% for short neck aneurysms (n=52) and 55% for juxta- and pararenal aneurysms (n=36).
    Conclusion: Approximately half of patients with short neck rAAAs would be suitable for the Zenith p-branch fenestrated device according to the instructions for use. In almost 60%, the pivot fenestrations can accommodate the corresponding target vessels. More studies are needed to confirm these findings.

    Abstract Objective: Fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR) is a well established treatment for complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). FEVAR with custom made devices (CMDs) has limitations in both the emergency and elective settings due to time consuming manufacture. "Off the shelf" (OTS) fenestrated stent grafts are a potential solution. The primary goal was to evaluate the five year outcome of the COOK Zenith p-Branch OTS device at a single centre.
    Methods: Patients with juxtarenal AAA meeting the inclusion criteria for the COOK Zenith p-Branch device were enrolled in a prospective, non-randomised, non-comparative trial from July 2012 to September 2015. Demographic, anatomical, procedure related, and five year follow up data were collected, analysed, and adjudicated by a core laboratory. The primary aims were to assess intervention free survival and overall survival at five years.
    Results: Twenty-three patients were treated and 21 completed follow up. Mean time to p-Branch implantation after patient presentation was 28 hours (range 0-122 hours) in emergency cases and 67 days (range 20-112 days) in elective cases. Median procedure time was 283 minutes (range 161-475 minutes) and technical success was 91%. Mean follow up was 45 months (standard deviation ± 24.4 months). The most common adverse events were renal injuries. Primary target vessel patency was 96.4% and 94.0% after one and five years respectively. Mean time to first re-intervention was 469 days (range 0-1 567 days). Survival during the follow up period was 76%, with no aneurysm related deaths.
    Conclusion: FEVAR with the COOK Zenith p-Branch device is safe and effective for juxtarenal AAA in a selected patient population, in both elective and emergency settings. Long term outcomes are acceptable although inferior to CMDs. Mid and long term outcomes emphasise the p-Branch as a possible endovascular treatment for juxtarenal aortic pathology where CMD is not an option. Further innovation to address target vessel complications is needed, as these seem more prevalent than after repair with CMDs.

    Abstract Objective: Recent randomised controlled trials demonstrated the benefit of intracranial endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in acute ischaemic stroke. There is no consensus, however, on how to treat concomitant extracranial carotid artery stenosis after EVT. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome in patients treated with carotid endarterectomy (CEA) after EVT, comparing complication rates among patients undergoing CEA for stroke without previous EVT.
    Methods: This was a registry study of all patients (n = 3 780) treated with CEA after stroke in Sweden and the capital Helsinki region, Finland, from January 2011 to September 2020. Sixty three patients (1.7%; 0.5% 2011, 4.3% 2019) underwent EVT prior to CEA. The primary outcome was 30 day stroke and death rate.
    Results: The EVT+CEA group had major stroke as the qualifying neurological event (QNE) in 79%, but just 5.9% had this in the CEA only group (p < .001). Intravenous thrombolysis was administered before EVT in 54% of patients in the EVT+CEA group, but in just 12% in those receiving CEA only (p < .001). The combined stroke and death rate at 30 days for EVT+CEA was 0.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.0 - 5.7). One patient had a post-operative TIA, none had post-operative intracerebral or surgical site haemorrhage. CEA was performed within a median of seven days (interquartile range 4, 15) after QNE, and 75% had CEA ≤14 days from QNE. The main reason to postpone CEA was an infarct larger than one third of the middle cerebral artery territory. The stroke and death rate in patients treated with CEA only was 3.7% (95% CI 3.2 - 4.4), CEA was performed a median of eight days after QNE, and in 79.7% in ≤14 days. The three year survival after EVT+CEA was 93% (95% CI 85 - 100), compared with 87% (95% CI 86 - 88) after CEA only. Cox regression analysis adjusting for age showed no increased all cause mortality after EVT+CEA (HR 1.3, 95% CI 0.6 - 2.7, p = .52).
    Conclusion: These results indicate that CEA is safe to perform after previous successful EVT for acute ischaemic stroke. Results were comparable with those undergoing CEA only, despite the EVT+CEA patients having more severe stroke symptoms prior to surgery, and timing was similar.

    Abstract Objective: To report the outcome after ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) repair in octo- and nonagenarians from the Swedish Vascular Registry 1994-2014.
    Material and methods: 2335 intact AAA (iAAA) and 1538 rAAA were identified in patients aged 80 years and older. Crude, long-term, and relative survival data were analysed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Crude survival was calculated including all deaths. Long-term survival was analysed excluding AAA repair related mortality, defined as death within 90 days of surgery. Relative survival was assessed by comparing the observed long-term survival after AAA repair with the expected survival of a Swedish population adjusted for age, gender, and operation year. Differences were compared using log-rank tests. The multivariate Cox model was used for adjusting for confounding factors between open repair (OR) and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).
    Results: Crude survival after rAAA repair was 30 days (55%), 90 days (50%), 1 year (45%), 5 years (26%), and 10 years (9%). Long-term survival was 1 year (90%), 5 years (53%), and 10 years (18%). When individuals with rAAA were categorized into males and females, crude and long-term survival showed no significant differences (p = .204 and p = .134). When rAAA patients were categorized into age groups (80-84 years, 85-89 years, 90+) crude survival diminished with increasing age, but long-term survival was not (p = .009 and p = .368). Compared with the general population, rAAA patients showed only a minor decrease in relative survival. Crude survival after rAAA was better for EVAR compared with OR (p = .007), hazard ratio 1.3 (95% CI 1.1-1.6, p < .012).
    Conclusions: There is a high (50%) peri-operative mortality after surgery for rAAA in octo- and nonagenarians, with no significant differences between the sexes and worse survival with increasing age. However, if a patient has survived the initial 90 days, long-term survival in this very old cohort is surprisingly good at more than 50% after 5 years, only slightly less than the general population.

    Abstract Saving time to intervention is crucial in patients with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis (SCAS). We introduced a fast-track protocol (FTP). Time frames from the onset of symptoms to intervention before and after the introduction of an FTP were analyzed. SCAS patients (403 patients/405 procedures) were evaluated according to whether surgery was performed before (group 1) or after (group 2) the introduction of the FTP. Time frames to surgery, causes of delay and frequency of recurrent events are reported. The median time delay decreased from 17 to 12 days (p<0.001), but time to ultrasound examination remained unchanged. Surgery was within 2 weeks in 41% in group 1 and in 57% in group 2 (p=0.001). Of 181 (30%) patients treated according to the FTP, 54 were operated within 7 days (median), and 80% had the intervention within 2 weeks. Time to surgery decreased significantly after the introduction of the FTP.

    Abstract Background: Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in elderly men reduces aneurysm related mortality. AAA is commonly defined as an infrarenal aortic diameter (IAD) of ≥30 mm, which is based on the definition of an arterial aneurysm as a focal dilation of 150% or more compared to the expected diameter of about 20 mm. The IAD has been shown to correlate to body surface area (BSA). The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility to use an individualized AAA-criteria by using a BSA-based model to refine the screening for AAA.
    Methods: We conducted an observational single center cohort study of 25 236 65-year old men invited to AAA screening in Malmö, Sweden 2010-2015. Out of the 19 738 (78.5%) attendees, 14 846 (58.8%) completed a health questionnaire including height, weight and smoking habits. Linear regression analysis was performed between BSA and IAD, taking smoking habits into account. This regression was used to calculate the predicted IAD for each individual according to their BSA.
    Results: There was a significant correlation between BSA and aortic diameter, rho =0.26 (95% CI: 0.25, 0.28). AAA defined as an IAD≥30 mm was found in 226 men (1.5%) whereas AAA defined as ≥150% larger IAD than predicted according to the individual BSA was found in 299 men (1.9%), a relative difference in AAA detection rate of more than 30% (P<0.001).
    Conclusions: We have found a statistically significant correlation between BSA and IAD in a homogenous screening population that could have clinical implications. In men with low BSA, IAD <30 mm might still be ≥150% larger than predicted according to BSA, whereas in men with high BSA, IAD≥30 mm might not be ≥150% larger than predicted. Further follow-up of these subjects is planned to investigate if the first group have an "aneurysm-in-formation," challenging the diagnostic criteria for AAA.

    Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the effects of different local hemostatic agents in a new high flow vascular experimental bleeding model.
    Design: Bovine thrombin combined with collagen matrix (bTcM), microporous polysaccharide hemospheres (MPH), freeze-dried rFVIIa with and without the combination of MPH were compared to a control group (solely compression) in a randomized fashion (20 animals/group). Primary endpoint was hemostasis, and secondary endpoints were time to hemostasis, blood loss, and blood pressure at hemostasis.
    Methods: The common carotid artery of heparinized rats was ligated proximally and transected. Compression was applied for one minute followed by application of the topical hemostatic agent. Compression was maintained for another two minutes followed by re-evaluation of hemostasis: if bleeding continued additional compression was applied and thereafter bleeding was checked every minute until hemostasis.
    Results: All animals in the bTcM group obtained hemostasis compared to 20% in the control group (p<0.0001). The combination of MPH and rFVIIa (70% hemostasis) also showed a significant hemostatic capacity compared to control group (p<0.001). None of the other active treatment groups differed compared to control group. Animals treated with bTcM had a significantly shorter time to hemostasis compared to animals in the other active treatment groups. No significant difference in blood loss and blood pressure at hemostasis was detected.
    Conclusions: The most effective hemostatic agent was bTcM, followed by the combination of rFVIIa and MPH, while neither MPH nor rFVIIa alone displayed any hemostatic capacity compared to compression only.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the impact of renal chimney grafts on anatomical suitability for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA).
    Methods: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography images of 206 patients with rAAA [175 men (mean age 75 ± 7.8 years) and 31 women (mean age of 76 ± 7.5 years)] were evaluated in a dedicated 3-dimensional vascular workstation. Assessment of infrarenal EVAR suitability was based on predefined anatomical variables reflecting the Instructions for Use of commercially available stent-grafts. In patients where aneurysm neck length was the only limiting factor for suitability, reevaluation of the proximal sealing zone was done, accounting for chimney grafts in one or both renal arteries.
    Results: Seventy (34%) rAAA patients were anatomically suitable for EVAR: 65 (37%) of 175 men and 5 (16%) of 31 women (p < 0.01). Eighty-nine (65%) of the 136 unsuitable patients had aneurysm necks < 15 mm long; short neck was the only exclusion criterion in 33 (24%) cases. In the 33 short-necked aneurysms without other limiting factors, a proximal sealing zone > 15 mm could potentially be achieved with one or two renal chimney grafts in 12 (36%) and 25 (76%) patients, respectively, increasing overall suitability to 40% and 46%. If access issues could also be solved and a similar strategy with chimneys for the renal arteries was applied, the EVAR suitability would increase further to 58%.
    Conclusion: Roughly one third of patients with rAAA are anatomically suitable for EVAR; short aneurysm neck is the most common exclusion criteria. In appropriate cases, chimney grafts in one or both renal arteries may increase overall suitability by 12%. Suitability increases to ~ 60% when iliac access issues are additionally overcome.
