    Abstract Objective: To perform a comprehensive literature review on outcomes achieved with the historical Dardik graft, illustrated with a case report of a patient with 13-years primary patency and limb salvage.
    Methods: A comprehensive literature review was performed through MedLine (PubMed.gov, U.S. National Library of Medicine, National Institute of Health) from 1976 to 2018 using search terms (Umbilical Vein Graft), (Dardik graft), (Glutaraldehyde stabilized human umbilical vein [HUV]) and (HUV) to collected data on clinical use of HUV. Only papers in English and reporting adequate information about indication for surgery, short- and long-term patency and complication rate were included.
    Results: Data about a total of 899 patients (977 limbs) were available. Overall, 45% of patients (438 limbs) underwent HUV implantation for critical limb ischemia (rest pain or tissue loss) or for disabling claudication in 12.2% of cases (120 limbs). Others indication for surgery were acute onset limb ischemia, popliteal aneurysms or aneurysmal degeneration of a previously implanted synthetic graft. At a mean follow-up of 4.3 years (range 3-6 years), primary patency and secondary patency were 61.3% and 61%, respectively. Aneurisms formation was detected in 3% of cases (21 limbs), graft's infection in 24.4% of cases (31 limbs) and graft's thrombosis in 25.5% of cases (193 limbs).
    Conclusion: This article provide a historical review of the use, outcomes and complications of HUV. Even though it is no longer commercially available, the knowledge of this type of substitute still remains inspirational for the development of innovative vascular conduits and fundamental for the new generations of physician both in diagnostics and in the management of complications.

    Abstract Background: In this study we correlated changes of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases with trends of age standardized mortality rates and burden for aortic aneurysms and dissections.
    Methods: We analyzed data from the Global Burden of Diseases and EUROSTAT.
    Findings: There was a significant increase of expenditure for health from 1980 and 2019. In the period 1980-2000, despite higher health spending, age standardized mortality rates increased in almost all European countries. During the period 2000-2019, in Western European Countries and in Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Slovenia there was a correlation between higher health expenditure and decrease of ASMR. The most important changes between the period 1980-2000 and the period 2000-2019 was the proportion of health expenditure devoted to preventive care and to the increased use of aspirin and statins.
    Interpretation: Information about risk factors for cardiovascular diseases have leads to decreased aortic aneurysm related mortality and burden.

    Abstract Background: In Europe Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) mortality rates decreased significantly in the last 25 years, with less decline in the last 5 years. The aim of our study was to analyze trends of risk factors which may explain plateauing of CVD mortality rates in the period 2015-2019 in Europe.
    Methods: We analyzed data from the Global Burden Disease and EUROSTAT concerning trends of CVD mortality rates for 25 European countries and simultaneous changes of exposure to risk factors of the population RESULTS: CVD related mortality decreased significantly in the analyzed countries in the period 2000-2015; in the period 2015-2019 there was a trend towards plateauing of CVD related mortality rates, which was associated with an increased exposure to several established risk factors including cigarette smoking, obesity and arterial hypertension. A decrease in expenditure for information, education and counseling programs was documented in most countries in the same period. Level of exposure to risk factors was correlated with educational attainment . Exposure to risk factors in the interval 2014-2019 increased for people with lower education, whereas decreased in people with higher education (p<0.001).
    Conclusions: Organized information about risk factors for CVD have the potential to reduce mortality and burden, with diminished total health expenses. Education and information in this setting should consider the cultural and social level of the public.

    Abstract Background: The unexpected virulence of the COVID19 pandemic brought to significant changes of generally accepted therapeutic approaches. The consequences of these changes were difficult to define during the pandemic period.
    Methods: We analyzed the National Registries including 97% of hospital admissions in Italy, regarding data describing number of operations for aortic valve implantation or repair, carotid and coronary revascularization, AAA repair, and lower limb arterial reconstruction performed in the period 2015 to 2019 and in the pandemic years 2020, 2021, and 2022. Primary outcomes were number and type of surgical procedures, 30-days operative mortality.
    Results: During the three years of the pandemic there was a statistically significant increase of the number of all-causes deaths in comparison with the mean of the previous five years (2015-2019). In Italy there was a total increase of all causes-deaths of 251.911 (+105900 in 2020; +66929 in 2021; and +79082 in 2022), and 73% of the excess of deaths was related with COVID19 infection and 27% occurred in COVID 19 negative patients. During the first year of the pandemic, worse clinical outcomes for hospitalized patients with CVD were registered. The medical system responded adequately and in the following two pandemic years clinical outcomes for hospitalized patients were similar with those of the pre-pandemic period.
    Conclusions: The unexpected virulence of COVID19 pandemic determined worse clinical outcomes for patients with CVD during the first year. The adopted preventive measures allowed in the following two pandemic years improved clinical outcomes, similar with those of the pre-pandemic period.

    Abstract Despite strong hereditary components, most cases of colorectal cancer are sporadic. The possibility to manipulate in the clinical setting the many presumed risk factors is almost impossible, and long-term epidemiological studies are the only reliable form for comparisons. We performed a systematic review to analyze the reports of de-novo adenocarcinoma arising in the transposed colon, used for conduit after esophagectomy, after total gastrectomy, and for vaginal reconstruction. In all these situations, the colon is transposed in different physiological conditions from its natural environment. We excluded patients in whom the colon was transposed as urinary conduit because the well known carcinogenic effect of the contact with urine. Overall 45 patients were identified with a de-novo adenocarcinoma arising in the transposed colon (36 after esophagectomy; 1 after total gastrectomy; 8 as neovagina). The only common risk factor in these different anatomic position was the possibility of active or chronic inflammation. There was not a close correlation between time after implantation and occurrence of the carcinoma. The occurrence of the de novo carcinoma was related to ageing, supporting the hypothesis of a major role of inflammation in facilitating deregulation of the immune system, associated with ageing.
