    Abstract A male patient, 70 years of age, was evaluated for an infected thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR). After presenting with persistent fever, a positron emission tomography scan found an infected aortic stent graft. The patient underwent open repair with explantation of the infected TEVAR, extensive periaortic debridement, graft replacement with a Dacron graft, and complete coverage with a latissimus dorsi muscle flap.

    Abstract The presented glossary highlights the concepts and terminology related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Although this list should not be considered all-inclusive, it will provide our vascular surgical community with a common vocabulary to help propel change toward improved diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, practices, and culture. As these concepts and terminology find their place in our everyday lives, the Society for Vascular Surgery and its leadership believe that expanding the diversity, equity, and inclusion of vascular surgical professionals is a mission-critical step. This mission will help us improve patient experience through successfully delivering culturally sensitive care for our diverse community. Now is the time.

    Abstract Background: To describe short- and mid-term surgical outcomes of patients with Turner syndrome (TS) after cardiovascular interventions.
    Methods: All individuals >12 years of age at the time of surgical repair for cardiovascular disease (valve or coarctation repairs, aortic disease, aortic dissection) from 2002 to 2022 were eligible. The primary endpoint was complications or death within 30 days of intervention. Secondary outcomes included late complications and reinterventions within six months. Combined data from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and the Turner Syndrome Society of the United States were included in the analysis.
    Results: We identified 22 patients who met the inclusion criterion. The median age was 46 years (range, 21-75 years), with 86% having estrogen replacement therapy. The most common medical condition was hypertension (77%), followed by hypothyroidism (59%). The most frequent indication for surgery was aortic root or ascending aortic aneurysms (68%), followed by symptomatic aortic stenosis in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (64%), coarctation of aorta (45%), and acute aortic dissection (18%). Respiratory complications were the most common (68%). Pleural effusions were the most frequent found sign on imaging studies (68%). Thoracentesis, or chest tube placement, was required in 33% (5/15). Respiratory failure requiring specific support with high flow oxygen and/or thoracentesis occurred in 36% (8/22).
    Conclusions: Patients with TS may be at an increased risk for postoperative complications after aortic surgery. Bicuspid aortic valve (59%) and coarctation of the aorta (45%) were the most common congenital malformations among our study group. Our study showed that respiratory complications were the most common, with pleural effusions being the most common post-surgery complication.

    Abstract Thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms are more common in men. Yet, females often have worse outcomes, fewer interventions, and lower treatment rates. Females have also benefited less from the research and treatment of those diseases than men. Understanding sex- and sex-specific differences in thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms can improve care delivery, reduce disparities, and optimize outcomes for females with thoracic aortic aneurysms and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. The authors reviewed the literature on the presentation and outcomes of thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms in females, discussing the existing gaps and future directions to address them.
