    Abstract Background: To compare the outcomes of patients who were submitted to partial carotid endarterectomy (P-CEA) to those of patients who underwent standard conventional CEA with patch closure (C-CEA) and eversion CEA (E-CEA) for a significant carotid stenosis.
    Methods: Data of patients who consecutively underwent CEA from January 2014 to December 2018 for a significant carotid stenosis were retrospectively collected. Primary outcomes included mortality and the occurrence of neurologic and cardiologic complications, both at 30 days and during follow-up. Secondary outcomes included the occurrence of perioperative local complications (i.e. cranial nerve injuries, hematomas) and restenosis during follow-up. P values < 0.5 were considered statistically significant.
    Results: Three-hundred twenty-seven patients (241 males, 74%) underwent CEA for carotid stenosis (28.6% symptomatic). P-CEA was performed in 202 patients (61.8%), while C-CEA and E-CEA were performed in 103 and 22 cases respectively. At 30 days, neurologic complications were not significantly different among the 3 groups (2.8% in the group of C-CEA, 2.4% after P-CEA and 0% in E-CEA patients, P = 0.81), neither during follow-up. Perioperative local complications also were not significantly different among the 3 groups (P = 0.16).
    Conclusions: P-CEA had similar outcomes if compared to C-CEA and to E-CEA in terms of perioperative mortality, occurrence of neurologic and cardiologic complications, and occurrence of local complications. Also, in the long-term, P-CEA, C-CEA, and E-CEA were burdened by similar rates of mortality, neurologic, and cardiologic complications and restenosis.

    Abstract Blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) is a potentially fatal condition that needs prompt recognition and expedited management. Clinical manifestations of BTAI are not straight forwarding and may be misdiagnosed. The grade of aortic injury is an important determinant of perioperative mortality and morbidity, as well as the indication of treatment, along with the presence of concomitant lesions of other involved organs. The mainstay of treatment nowadays for hemodynamically stable patients who survive the trauma scene is represented by delayed endovascular repair whenever anatomically and clinically feasible. Endovascular repair, in fact, is burdened by lower perioperative mortality and morbidity rates if compared to open surgical repair, but concerns remain about the need for long-term surveillance and radiation exposure in patients who are at a younger age than patients treated for the aneurysmal disease. The aim of the paper is to provide an update on the diagnostic modalities and strategies of treatment for patients affected by BTAI.

    Abstract Endovascular techniques have progressively become the first option for the treatment of stenosis and occlusions of both aorto-iliac and femoro-popliteal district. The development of new technologies and new materials has broadened the applicability of the endovascular techniques, allowing the treatment of each lesion with the most suitable material. A knowledge of the behavior of endovascular materials when treating peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is, therefore, crucial for optimization of the results. Here, we aim to review the most important technical features of the actually available endovascular materials for treating PAD.

    Abstract Introduction: The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review about the clinical and technical aspects of late open conversion for failed endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), and to investigate if the need for suprarenal aortic cross clamping, graft infection, urgent procedures, endoleaks and aortic rupture were associated with an increase of 30-days (perioperative) mortality.
    Evidence acquisition: A literature search was conducted on PubMed using the words "open conversion endovascular" on December 29
    Evidence synthesis: The search retrieved 985 results on PubMed from 1994 to 2021. Among them, 40 papers were included in the study for the systematic review, and 5 of them for the meta-analysis. A total of 2297 patients from 1992 to 2020 were submitted to open conversion after a median of 40.4 months from the initial EVAR. Endoleak was the most frequent cause of open conversion (76.3%). Perioperative mortality was 23.5% for urgent and 5.3% for elective conversions. At meta-analysis, urgent procedures and aortic rupture were both associated with higher perioperative mortality (OR 5.27, 95% CI 2.90-9.57 and OR 5.61, 95% CI 3.09-10.19 respectively). Similarly, patients with infections and who needed suprarenal aortic clamping were at higher risk of 30-days postoperative death (OR 3.74, 95% CI 1.96-7.13) and OR 2.23, 95% CI 1.24-4.02), while the presence of a preoperative endoleaks was not associated with a higher 30-days mortality.
    Conclusions: Late open conversion after EVAR of AAA is burdened by a perioperative mortality rate of 23.5% for urgent and 5.3% for elective cases. Urgent treatment, presence of aortic rupture or infection, and the need for suprarenal aortic cross clamping were associated with increased perioperative mortality, while the presence of an endoleak did not affect perioperative mortality.

    Abstract Introduction: Favorable midterm outcomes have been reported with the use of low-profile endografts (LPE), but long-term data is still needed. Furthermore, it is unclear if each of these LPE may have advantages over the other, which may, in turn, affect the outcomes. We systematically reviewed the literature about complications and reintervention rates of patients submitted to endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) using LPE.
    Matherials and methods: A literature search was conducted including articles that reported 30-days and follow-up mortality, complications, and reintervention rates of patients treated with EVAR using Incraft (Cordis), Zenith LP/Alpha (Cook Medical Inc) and Ovation (Endologix) endografts.
    Results: 36 papers were evaluated, reporting results of 582 patients treated with Zenith device, 1211 with Incraft and 3449 with Ovation. During follow up, similar survival and freedom from reintervention rates were reported among the various types of endograft both at 1 and 3 years. The incidence of limb stenosis/kinking was significantly higher in patients treated with Zenith LP/Alpha (2.1%,
    Conclusions: Long-term survival and freedom from reintervention rates were comparable among the three LPEs. The Cook Zenith device had the highest rates of limb stenosis/kinking, while the Incraft device had the lowest occurrence of type III endoleak.

    Abstract Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze preoperative risk factors affecting long-term survival and the occurrence of stroke in patients older than 80 years undergoing either carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or carotid artery stenting (CAS) for carotid stenosis.
    Methods: Data of all consecutive patients treated from January 1999 to December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed and outcomes analyzed. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate long-term survival and the risk of stroke for both groups. Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to assess the relative risk of all-cause mortality and long-term stroke for patients in the presence of selected comorbidities, including preoperative symptoms, coronary artery disease, chronic renal failure, atrial fibrillation (AF), hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia. A P value <.05 was considered statistically significant.
    Results: A total of 473 patients older than 80 years (298 men [63%]) underwent either CEA (n = 178) or CAS. At 30 days, one patient died in the CEA group of unrelated causes; no deaths were recorded after CAS (0.6% vs 0%; P = .18). At 5 years, survival was 67.6% ± 4.9% after CEA and 90.2% ± 2.3% after CAS (P < .0001). The main cause of death after CEA and CAS was a neoplasm. Estimated freedom from any stroke at 5 years was 97.3% ± 0.5% after CEA and 93.2% ± 1.2% after CAS (P = .07). The presence of preoperative AF significantly affected long-term mortality after CAS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.56; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.34-1.98; P = .04) as well as being classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists class 3 at evaluation of the preoperative anesthesiology risk. The presence of preoperative AF was the only factor that significantly affected the occurrence of long-term stroke after both CAS (HR, 2.28; 95% CI, 1.86-5.63; P = .001) and CEA (HR, 3.45; 95% CI, 2.29-8.19; P = .005).
    Conclusions: Both CEA and CAS showed low 30-day mortality and any-stroke rates in patients older than 80 years. In the long term, survival was significantly better after CAS; however, deaths after CEA and CAS were mainly unrelated to the procedure. No significant differences were recorded in the occurrence of any stroke in the long term. The presence of preoperative AF significantly affected long-term survival after CAS as well as being classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists class 3 at evaluation of the preoperative anesthesiology risk. The presence of preoperative AF also significantly affected long-term risk of stroke after both CAS and CEA.

    Abstract Objective: To describe the results of the reversed bell-bottom (ReBel-B) technique for the endovascular treatment of iliac aneurysms (IA) involving the origin of hypogastric artery (HA).
    Methods: The ReBel-B technique is a strategy for the occlusion of HA in selected patients presenting with IA, in whom the HA cannot be spared or safely occluded with coils or vascular plugs. When employing this technique, an iliac flared ("bell-bottom") extension is deployed in a reverse fashion, through a contralateral crossover femoral access that allows the occlusion of the HA at its origin, by exploiting the flared "bell" part of the reversed endograft. A second limb is then deployed to complete the implant, from the common iliac to the external iliac artery, inside the previous graft. Data of all consecutive patients treated with this technique in our experience were then retrospectively reviewed, and outcomes analyzed.
    Results: The ReBel-B technique was employed in total of six patients who came in an emergent setting for the rupture of a common IA, from January 2014 to December 2018. Endovascular exclusion was performed using a ReBel-B graft plus iliac leg in five out of six cases. In the remaining case, a bifurcated aortic endograft was used to complete the aneurysm exclusion. Technical success was 100%. No complications occurred.
    Conclusions: In selected cases, the ReBel-B technique can be used for the complete exclusion of IA preventing type II endoleak from the HA, when the embolization with coils or plug or the preservation of the HA is anatomically unfeasible.

    Abstract Introduction: We aimed to review the prevalence, the risk factors and the outcomes of venous thrombosis (VT) in patients hospitalized for COronaVirus Disease 19 (COVID-19).
    Evidence acquisition: Electronic bibliographic databases were searched using the words "COVID venous thrombosis". The review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement standards.
    Evidence synthesis: The search of the literature retrieved 877 results. After assessment of full texts, 69 papers were included in the qualitative analysis and 23 of them in the quantitative evaluation. The analyzed studies included a total of 106,838 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 from January to December 2020. The pooled reported prevalence rate of VT was in median 16.7% (IQR 5.8-30%), being higher in ICU patients (60.8-85.4%). VT events were reported in about 75% of cases in the popliteal and calf veins. Signs and symptoms were present in 6.1% of cases. At quantitative evaluation, older age, D-dimer and obesity increased the odds to experience a VT (OR=3.54, 95% CI 0.65-6.43, P=0.01; OR=956.86, 95% CI 225.67-1668.05, P=0.01; OR=1.42, 95% CI 1.01-1.99, P=0.03 respectively). Female sex seemed to be protective against the odds of VT (OR=0.77, 95% CI 0.63-0.93, P=0.007).
    Conclusions: Among patients hospitalized for COVID-19, VT is a relatively common finding, with higher prevalence rates in ICU patients. VT occurs mostly in the distal regions of the lower limb and is asymptomatic in most cases. Older age, obesity and higher D-dimer values on admission increased the odds of VT, while female sex was protective against the odds of VT.

    Abstract Background: We report our "real-world" experience of endovascular repair of thoracic/thoraco-abdominal aortic lesions in patients treated from May 2002 to May 2017.
    Methods: Data of all consecutive treated patients were retrospectively collected in a database and analyzed. Patients were divided into 4 groups: atherosclerotic thoracic/thoraco-abdominal aneurysms (TAA/TAAA) and floating thrombus (group A); acute complicated type B dissection (TBD), penetrating aortic ulcers (PAU) and intra-mural hematomas (IMH) in group B; chronic TBD evolving in TAA (group C); traumatic injuries (group D). Mortality, reinterventions and occurrence of neurological complications, both at 30 days and in the long term, were analyzed as primary outcomes for each group.
    Results: Ninety-four patients were treated complessively, most for a TAA (55.3%). Thirty-days deaths and neurological complications were observed in group A only (5 cases each, 5.3%). A reintervention was necessary in 6 patients (6.4%) of group A. At 5 years, in group A survival was 62.8%±6.3% and freedom from neurological complication was 88.3%±4.2%. Neither deaths nor neurological complications were recorded in the other groups. No late aortic ruptures were recorded. Freedom from reintervention in group A was 54.7%±7.6% at 5 years and a reintervention was needed in all patients of group D. Overall, the main cause for reintervention was a type I endoleak.
    Conclusions: The endovascular repair of thoracic/thoraco-abdominal aortic lesions had acceptable mortality and neurological complication rates, both at 30 days and in the long term. Reinterventions in the long term occurred more frequently after TAA/TAAA and traumatic injuries, and were mainly required for a type I endoleak.
