    Abstract Background: Glycemic control is an important goal of bariatric surgery in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. The laparoscopic one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) has potential metabolic benefits over the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Aim of this study is to examine whether RYGB or OAGB grants better glycemic control 12 months post-surgery.
    Methods: For this retrospective cohort study, patients with T2DM and obesity, who underwent primary OAGB between 2008 and 2017 were reviewed. For each OAGB patient, three primary RYGB patients were matched for age, gender and body mass index (BMI). Glycemic control was expressed by the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), which was measured pre- and 12 months post-operatively. Weight loss was reported in percentage total weight loss (%TWL).
    Results: A total of 152 patients, of whom 38 had OAGB and 114 RYGB, were included. Mean (standard deviation (SD)) HbA1c was 7.49 (1.51)% in the OAGB group and 7.56(1.23)% in the RYGB group at baseline. Twelve months after surgery the mean (SD) HbA1c dropped to 5.73 (0.71)% after OAGB and 6.09 (0.76)% after RYGB (adjusted p = 0.011). The mean (SD) BMI was reduced from 42.5(6.3) kg/m
    Conclusion: This study indicates that OAGB leads to lower HbA1c one year after surgery compared to RYGB, without a difference in weight loss. Prospective (randomized) studies are needed to ascertain the most optimal metabolic treatment for patients with obesity and T2DM.

    Abstract A 27-year-old man underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair for blunt thoracic aortic injury. Fourteen months later, he presented with intermittent paraplegia, congestive heart failure, and a decline of kidney function as a result of high-grade aortic stenosis caused by in-stent thrombosis. He had a concurrent infection with coronavirus disease 2019. The patient was successfully treated using axillofemoral bypass, followed by stent relining 2 weeks later. The possible risk factors and the optimal therapeutic approach for in-stent thrombosis remain unknown, because only a limited number of cases describing this rare complication have been reported.

    Abstract Contemporary quality control methods are often insufficient in predicting clinical outcomes after revascularization in lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) patients. This study evaluates the potential of near-infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green to predict the clinical outcome following revascularization. Near-infrared fluorescence imaging was performed before and within 5 days following the revascularization procedure. Clinical improvement was defined as substantial improvement of pain free walking distance, reduction of rest- and/or nocturnal pain, or tendency toward wound healing. Time-intensity curves and 8 perfusion parameters were extracted from the dorsum of the treated foot. The quantified postinterventional perfusion improvement was compared within the clinical outcome groups. Successful near-infrared fluorescence imaging was performed in 72 patients (76 limbs, 52.6% claudication, 47.4% chronic limb-threatening ischemia) including 40 endovascular- and 36 surgical/hybrid revascularizations. Clinical improvement was observed in 61 patients. All perfusion parameters showed a significant postinterventional difference in the clinical improvement group (

    Abstract Introduction: Vascular Ehlers Danlos syndrome is a rare connective tissue disease that is associated with various arterial complications.
    Report: A 25 year old man with vascular Ehlers Danlos syndrome presented with acute lower back pain as a result of a ruptured aneurysm of the median sacral artery (MSA). Prior medical history included several vascular events resulting in a right iliac occlusion. The unusual location of aneurysmal disease of the MSA might be explained by extensive collateral flow recruitment due to this occlusion.
    Conclusion: Previous vascular events inducing collateral recruitment might justify a more frequent follow up in patients with connective tissue disorders.

    Abstract Background: When introducing new techniques, attention must be paid to learning curve. Besides quantitative outcomes, qualitative factors of influence should be taken into consideration. This retrospective cohort study describes the quantitative learning curve of complex endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) in a nonhigh-volume academic center and provides qualitative factors that were perceived as contributors to this learning curve. With these factors, we aim to aid in future implementation of new techniques.
    Methods: All patients undergoing complex EVAR in the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) between July 2013 and April 2021 were included (n = 90). Quantitative outcomes were as follows: operating time, blood loss, volume of contrast, hospital stay, major adverse events (MAE), 30-day mortality, and complexity. Patients were divided into 3 temporal groups (n = 30) for dichotomous outcomes. Regression plots were used for continuous outcomes. In 2017, the treatment team was interviewed by an external researcher. These interviews were reanalyzed for factors that contributed to successful implementation.
    Results: Length of hospital stay (P = 0.008) and operating time (P = 0.010) decreased significantly over time. Fewer cardiac complications occurred in the third group (3: 0% vs. 2: 17% vs. 1: 17%, P = 0.042). There was a trend of increasing complexity (P = 0.076) and number of fenestrations (P = 0.060). No significant changes occurred in MAE and 30-day mortality. Qualitative factors that, according to the interviewees, positively influenced the learning curve were as follows: communication, mutual trust, a shared sense of responsibility and collective goals, clear authoritative structures, mutual learning, and team capabilities.
    Conclusions: In addition to factors previously identified in the literature, new learning curve factors were found (mutual learning and shared goals in the operating room (OR)) that should be taken into account when implementing new techniques.

    Abstract Background: Sarcopenia is identified as a predictive factor for adverse outcomes after complex endovascular aortic repair (complex EVAR). Consensus on preferred parameters for sarcopenia is not yet reached. The current study compares three CT-assessed parameters on their association with adverse outcomes after complex EVAR.
    Methods: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study. Psoas Muscle Index (PMI), Skeletal Muscle Index (SMI), and lean psoas muscle area (LPMA) were examined by CT-segmentation. PMI, SMI, and LPMA were analyzed as continuous variables. In addition, cut-off values from previous research were used to diagnose patients as sarcopenic or non-sarcopenic. Outcomes were: all-cause mortality, major adverse events (MAE), length of hospital stay, and non-home discharge. A sub-analysis was made for severe sarcopenia; sarcopenia combined with low physical performance (gait speed, Time Up and Go test, Metabolic Equivalent of Task-score).
    Results: We included 101 patients. A higher PMI (HR=0.590, CI: 0.374-0.930, P=0.023), SMI (HR=0.453, CI: 0.267-0.768, P=0.003), and LPMA (HR=0.559, CI: 0.333-0.944, P=0.029) were associated with a lower risk of mortality. Sarcopenia based on cut-off values for PMI and LPMA was not significantly associated with survival. Sarcopenia based on SMI did present a higher mortality risk (P=0.017). A sub-analysis showed that severely sarcopenic patients were at even higher risk of mortality (P=0.036). None of the parameters were significantly associated with the other outcomes.
    Conclusions: SMI had a slightly stronger association with mortality compared to PMI and LPMA. High-risk patients were selected by adding physical performance scores. Future research could focus on complex EVAR-specific PMI and LPMA cut-off values.

    Abstract Gorlin-Chaudhry-Moss syndrome (GCMS) is a rare disorder consisting of craniofacial dysostosis, hypertrichosis, underdeveloped genitalia, and ocular and dental anomalies. Recently, GCMS has been reclassified together with Fontaine syndrome as Fontaine progeroid syndrome (FPS), after a common genetic basis was found. It was previously thought that GCMS/FPS was not associated with aortopathy, but in recent years 3 patients with aortic disease have been described. We describe the fourth case, who is the oldest patient with GCMS/FPS reported in the medical literature: a 45-year-old patient who presented with acute aortic dissection. We therefore recommend screening patients previously diagnosed with GCMS/FPS for aortic pathology to aid early detection and avoid patient presentation in an acute setting.

    Abstract Purpose: Percutaneous hepatic perfusion with melphalan (M-PHP) is a minimally invasive therapy with proven efficacy in patients with uveal melanoma (UM) liver metastases. M-PHP is associated with a short hospital admission time and limited systemic side effects. In this study, we assessed quality of life (QoL) in UM patients treated with M-PHP.
    Materials and methods: A prospective, single-center study including 24 patients treated with M-PHP for UM metastases to the liver. QoL questionnaires were collected at baseline, on day 2/3 after M-PHP, and on day 7 and day 21 after M-PHP, according to study protocol. The results were scored according to EORTC-QLQ C30 global health status (GHS), functional scales, and symptom scales. The difference in scores at baseline and subsequent time points was analyzed with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and multiple testing Bonferroni correction. Adverse events (AE) were registered up to 30 days after M-PHP according to CTCAE v5.0.
    Results: Twenty-four patients (14 males; median age 63.0 years) completed 96 questionnaires. Most scores on all scales declined on day 2/3 after M-PHP. On day 21 after M-PHP, 12 out of 15 scores returned to baseline, including median GHS scores. Three variables were significantly worse on day 21 compared to baseline: fatigue (6-33; p = 0.002), physical functioning (100 vs 86.7; p = 0.003), and role functioning (100 vs 66.7; p = 0.001). Grade 3/4 AEs consisted mainly of hematological complications, such as leukopenia and thrombopenia.
    Conclusion: M-PHP causes fatigue and a decline in physical and role functioning in the 1st weeks after treatment, but GHS returns to baseline levels within 21 days. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3: Cohort study.

    Abstract Objective: To determine the image quality of fast spin echo (FSE) with mDixon relative to spectral attenuated inversion recovery (SPAIR) FSE sequences in musculoskeletal tumor imaging on a 1.5-T MRI system.
    Materials and methods: In a HIPAA-compliant prospective study, 265 patients requiring musculoskeletal tumor MRI scans were included. Patient consent was waived by the medical ethical committee. Two radiologists compared SPAIR and mDixon FSE water-only images in both T2- and T1-weighted gadolinium-enhanced (T1-Gd) sequences using a five-point scale (paired samples t test and visual grading characteristics curves (VGC)). Homogeneity of fat suppression, noise, contrast, several artifacts (motion, phase, edge blurring and water-fat swap) and subjective preference were evaluated.
    Results: Readers did not have subjective preference for either sequence in 71% and 55% (reader 1 and 2, respectively). Scores for homogeneous fat suppression were significantly (p < 0.01) higher for mDixon (4.88 in T2 and 4.87 in T1-Gd) than for SPAIR (4.31 for T2 and 4.21 for T1-Gd). All VGC curves for homogeneity demonstrated preference for mDixon. In 57 individual mDixon cases, fat-suppression homogeneity was strikingly better (≥ 2 points higher), namely in areas with field heterogeneity. Average noise and contrast scores were slightly higher for mDixon, as were motion artifact scores for SPAIR (< 0.5 points difference).
    Conclusions: mDixon fat suppression was significantly more homogeneous than SPAIR on both T2 and T1-Gd FSE images in musculoskeletal tumor protocols. In areas of field inhomogeneity, mDixon outperforms SPAIR. SPAIR had slightly less motion artifacts than mDixon.

    Abstract Purpose: Temporary balloon occlusion of the inferior vena cava to lower cardiac output is a relatively infrequently used technique to induce controlled systemic hypotension. In this technical note, we describe the feasibility, reliability, and safety of partial occlusion of right atrial inflow and the effect on systemic blood pressure during the deployment of a thoracic stentgraft.
    Materials and methods: Twenty consecutive patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair, with proximal landing in zone 0-3 of the thoracic aorta, were prospectively included. Right atrial inflow occlusion was performed with a compliant occlusion balloon.
    Results: Median time to reach a mean arterial pressure of 50 mmHg was 43 s. Median recovery time of blood pressure was 42 s.
    Conclusion: Partial right atrial inflow occlusion with an occlusion balloon is feasible with reliable results and without procedure-related complications.
