    Abstract Objective: Persistent type II endoleaks (pEL2s) are not uncommon after endovascular aneurysm repair and their impact on long-term outcomes is well-documented. However, their occurrence and natural history after fenestrated/branched endografting (F/B-EVAR) for juxtarenal and pararenal aneurysms (J/P-AAAs) have been scarcely investigated. Aim of this study was to report incidence, risk factors, and natural history of pEL2 after F/B-EVAR in J/P-AAAs.
    Methods: Between 2016 and 2022, all J/P-AAAs undergoing F/B-EVAR were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed. EL2 were assessed at the completion angiography, at 30 days and after 6 months as primary outcomes. Preoperative risk factors for pEL2, follow-up survival, freedom from reinterventions (FFR) and aneurysm shrinkage (≥5 mm) were considered as secondary outcomes.
    Results: Of 132 patients, there were 88 (67%) JAAAs and 44 (33%) PAAAs. Seventeen EL2 (13%) were detected at the completion angiography and 36 (27%) at 30-day computed tomography angiography. The mean follow-up was 28 ± 23 months. Eleven (31%) EL2 sealed spontaneously within 6 months and three new cases were detected, for an overall of 28 pEL2/107 patients (26%) with available radiological follow-up of ≥6 months. Preoperative antiplatelet therapy (odds ratio, 4.7; 95% confidence interval [CI[, 1-22.1; P = .05), aneurysm thrombus volume of ≤40% and six or more patent aneurysm afferent vessels (odds ratio, 7.2; 95% CI, 1.8-29.1; P = .005) were independent risk factors for pEL2. The estimated 3-year survival was 80%, with no difference between cases with and without pEL2 (78% vs 85%; P = .08). The estimated 3-year FFR was 86%, with no difference between cases with and without pEL2 (81% vs 87%; P = .41). Four cases (3%) of EL2-related reinterventions were performed. In 65 cases (49%), aneurysm shrinkage was detected. pEL2 was an independent risk factor for absence of aneurysm shrinkage during follow-up (hazard ratio, 3.2; 95% CI, 1.2-8.3; P = .014). Patients without shrinkage had lower follow-up survival (64% vs 86% at 3-year; P = .009) and FFR (74% vs 90% at 3 years; P = .014) than patients with shrinkage.
    Conclusions: PEL2 is not infrequent (26%) after F/B-EVAR for J/P-AAAs and is correlated with preoperative antiplatelet therapy, aneurysm thrombus volume of ≤40%, and six or more patent sac afferent vessels. Patients with pEL2 have a diminished aneurysm shrinkage, which is correlated with lower follow-up survival and FFR compared with patients with aneurysm shrinkage.

    Abstract Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the standard treatment for severe aortic valve stenosis in patients at increased surgical risk. Percutaneous transfemoral (TF) is the access of choice due to its reduced invasiveness and perioperative morbidity/mortality compared with the trans-axillary, aortic, and apical routes. On the other hand, vascular access complications (VACs) of the TF access are associated with prolonged hospitalization, 30-day, and 1-year mortality. In addition, the concomitance of peripheral arterial disease may require associated endovascular management. A multidisciplinary team with Interventional Cardiologists and Vascular Surgeons may minimize the rate of VACs in patients with challenging femoral-iliac access or concomitant disease of other vascular districts, thus optimizing the outcome of TF-TAVI. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of Vascular Surgeons in TF TAVI procedures.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-center review of all TF-TAVI procedures assisted by Vascular Surgeons between January 2016 and December 2020 in a high-volume tertiary hospital. Pre, intra, and postoperative data were analyzed by a dedicated group of Interventional Cardiologists and Vascular Surgeons. VACs were defined according with the Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC) three guidelines. The outcomes of TF-TAVI procedures with Vascular Surgeons involvement were assessed as study's endpoints.
    Results: Overall, 937 TAVI procedures were performed with a TF approach ranging between 78% (2016) and 98% (2020). Vascular Surgeons were involved in 67 (7%) procedures with the following indications: concomitant abdominal aortic aneurysm (EVAR + TAVI) - 3 (4%), carotid stenosis (TAVI + CAS) - 2 (3%), hostile femoral/iliac access, or VACs - 62 (93%). Balloon angioplasty of iliac artery pre-TAVI implantation was performed in 51 cases (conventional PTA: 38/51%-75%; conventional PTA + intravascular lithotripsy: 13/51%-25%; stenting: 5/51%-10%). TAVI procedure was successfully completed by percutaneous TF approach in all 62 cases with challenging femoral/iliac access. VACs necessitating interventions were 18/937 (2%) cases, localized to the common femoral or common/external iliac artery in 15/18 (83%) and 3/18 (17%) cases, respectively. They were managed by surgical or endovascular maneuvers in 3/18 (17%) and 15/18 (83%) cases, respectively. Fifteen/18 (83%) VACs were treated during the index procedure. There was no procedure-related mortality or 30-day readmission.
    Conclusion: In our experience, Vascular Surgeon assistance in TAVI procedures was not infrequent and allowed safe and effective device introduction through challenging TF access. Similarly, the concomitant significant disease of other vascular districts could be safely addressed, potentially reducing postoperative related mortality and morbidity. The implementation of multidisciplinary team with interventional cardiologists and vascular surgeons should be encouraged whenever possible.

    Abstract Background: Postoperative shoulder stiffness (SS) after arthroscopic rotator cuff (RC) repair has been reported with a variable incidence, and numerous preoperative risk factors have been described. This prospective study aimed to document the incidence of postoperative SS and to evaluate the role of preoperative risk factors in the development of this complication, with a special focus on the role of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
    Methods: Preoperative risk factors for SS were prospectively evaluated in 237 consecutive patients undergoing arthroscopic single-row RC repair. The presence of GERD was evaluated with the GerdQ diagnostic tool. Postoperative SS was diagnosed according to the criteria described by Brislin et al in 2007.
    Results: The incidence of postoperative SS was 8.02%. The presence of GERD was significantly associated with the development of postoperative SS (odds ratio [OR], 5.265; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.657-1.731; P = .005). Older age (OR, 0.896; 95% CI, 0.847-0.949; P < .001), male sex (OR, 0.126; 95% CI, 0.0252-0.632; P = .012), and number of pregnancies (OR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.228-0.967; P = .040) emerged as protective factors.
    Conclusions: The presence of GERD significantly influences the development of postoperative SS after arthroscopic single-row RC repair. An underlying aspecific proinflammatory condition, characterized by increased expression of tumor necrosis factor α and transforming growth factor β, and disorders in retinoid metabolism are hypotheses that could explain this previously unknown association. The documented incidence of postoperative SS falls within previously reported ranges, with women being significantly more affected than men.

    Abstract Purpose: Post-operative shoulder stiffness (SS) is a common complication after arthroscopic rotator cuff (RC) repair. The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the role of surgical risk factors in the development of this complication, with special focus on the characteristics of the RC tears.
    Methods: Two-hundred and twenty patients who underwent arthroscopic RC repair for degenerative posterosuperior RC tears were included. Surgery-related risk factors for development of post-operative SS belonging to the following five categories were documented and analyzed: previous surgery, RC tear characteristics, hardware and repair type, concomitant procedures, time and duration of surgery. The incidence of post-operative SS was evaluated according to the criteria described by Brislin and colleagues.
    Results: The incidence of post-operative SS was 8.64%. The treatment of partial lesions by tear completion and repair technique was significantly associated with development of post-operative SS (p = 0.0083, pc = 0.04). A multivariate analysis revealed that treatment of partial lesions in patients younger than 60 years was associated to a higher risk of developing post-operative SS (p = 0.007). Previously known pre-operative risk factors such as female sex and younger age were confirmed. No other significant associations were documented.
    Conclusion: The treatment of partial lesions of the RC may lead to a higher risk of post-operative SS than the treatment of complete lesions, in particular in patients younger than 60 years. Possible explanations of this finding are the increased release of pro-inflammatory cytokines caused by the additional surgical trauma needed to complete the lesion and the different pain perception of the subgroup of patients who require surgical treatment already for partial tears.
    Evidence: A higher risk of post-operative SS should be expected after tear completion and repair of partial lesions, especially in young patients. Appropriate pre-operative counseling and post-operative rehabilitation should be considered when approaching this subgroup of RC tears.
    Level of evidence: Prognostic study, level II.

    Abstract Background: Arthroscopic techniques are now considered the gold standard for treatment of most rotator cuff (RC) tears; however, no consensus exists on the maintenance of results over time, and long-term follow-up data have been reported for few cohorts of patients.
    Purpose: To present the long-term results associated with the arthroscopic treatment of RC tears and to evaluate associations between preoperative factors and RC integrity at final follow-up.
    Study design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.
    Methods: A total of 169 patients were contacted at least 10 years after arthroscopic RC surgery and were invited to a clinical evaluation. Information on preoperative conditions, tear size, subjective satisfaction, and functional scores was collected; isometric strength and range of motion were also measured; and each patient underwent an ultrasound examination to evaluate supraspinatus integrity and a shoulder radiograph to evaluate osteoarthritis.
    Results: A total of 149 patients (88.2% of the eligible patients) were available for a complete telephonic interview, and 102 patients were available for the final evaluation. Ultrasound revealed an intact supraspinatus in 54 patients (53.47%). By adding the 10 patients who underwent revision surgery to the nonintact group, this percentage would drop to 48.65%. Tear size was associated with supraspinatus integrity in univariate analysis (hazard ratio, 3.04; 95% CI, 1.63-5.69;
    Conclusion: RC tear size at the time of surgery significantly affects supraspinatus integrity at a minimum follow-up of 10 years. However, a larger tear is not associated with an inferior subjective result, although it negatively influences abduction and flexion strength, range of motion, and osteoarthritis progression. Intraoperative efforts to obtain a durable RC repair are encouraged, since supraspinatus integrity at final follow-up influences clinical and functional outcomes, patient satisfaction, and osteoarthritis progression.
