“…Being familiar with the same device and using it whenever anatomically suitable will again improve the outcomes and lessen the learning curve, although this may not reveal the advantages of each stent graft per se [6,16]. Aor-to-bi-iliac endografts were used in most patients (92.0%), similar to other reports [2,15–17]. For patients with iliac stenosis, predilatation was performed.…”

“…AAA rupture is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death following coronary disease and stroke [10,11]. EVAR has been introduced as a minimally invasive endovascular procedure that involves the placement of a stent graft to exclude the aortic aneurysm from the arterial circulation and systemic pressure [2,9]. Since Parodi et al [4] published the first case, EVAR has been considered a revolutionary development in vascular surgery [10].…”

“…Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is defined as abnormal, permanent, irreversible dilatation of the abdominal aorta of more than 50% of the normal aortic diameter [1,2]. AAA is a common condition of increasing prevalence mostly among elderly males over 65 years of age [1,2]. Given that rupture is the most ominous complication of AAA, the fundamental principle underpinning the management of AAA is the prevention of rupture [1,3].…”

“…To improve the outcomes and safety of EVAR, adequate planning to fit the anatomical features of each individual aneurysm, proper selection of stent grafts based on extensive knowledge of the different varieties and characteristics of endografts, and refined techniques and experiences in managing various complications after EVAR are important [2,6]. Although there have been many improvements in endovascular graft designs, late complications of endograft thrombosis, migration, endoleaks, and ruptures are not infrequent, and long-term follow-up and surveillance are important [1,7–9].…”

PurposeThe outcomes of endovascular aneurysmal repair (EVAR) for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) in the Middle East have rarely been reported. We analyzed the outcomes of EVAR in a Jordanian population.Materials and MethodsWe conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of patients with infrarenal AAA who were treated with elective EVAR between January 2004 and January 2017 at a single center in Jordan. Patient characteristics, anatomical characteristics, procedural details, and early and late postoperative outcomes were analyzed.ResultsA total of 288 patients (mean age, 70 years; 77.8% males) underwent EVAR for infrarenal AAA (median aneurysm size, 64 mm). Bifurcated endografts were used in 265 patients, and aorto-uni-iliac devices were used in 22 patients. Successful endograft deployment was achieved in all patients with no open conversion. Early complications included localized groin hematoma in 15, femoral artery dissection in 4, wound infection in 3, and seroma in 3 patients. With a mean follow-up of 60 months, 50 endoleaks were detected, including 9 type I, 38 type II, and 3 type III. Seven patients had unilateral graft limb occlusion. The 30-day mortality was 1.7%, and long-term mortality was 7.0%, mostly due to non-AAA-related causes.ConclusionEVAR was safely performed in Jordanian patients with minimal complications. However, long-term surveillance is important due to the risk of endoleaks and consequent intervention.

Non‐hermetic packaging of biomedical microsystems from a materials perspective: A review

et al. 2020

Traditionally, implantable electronic devices have used metal-based hermetic encapsulation to protect the internal components from damage by the aggressive in vivo environment. Concurrently, hermetic encapsulation protects the surrounding tissue from harmful substances that might be leached from the packaged components (Bazaka & Jacob, 2012). In some cases, however, there is risk of electrochemical corrosion on the metallic surfaces because of the presence of various ions, amino acids, proteins and dissolved oxygen (Eliaz, 2019). Hermeticity is defined as the ability of sealed packages to resist foreign gases and liquids from penetrating the seal or encapsulating material (Madduri, Sammakia, Infantolino, & Chaparala, 2008). Hermetic packages are conventionally made from glass, metal or ceramic materials whereby the gas and moisture permeability through the material is negligible (Madduri et al., 2008; Schuettler, Schatz, Ordonez, & Stieglitz, 2011). Hermetic materials have been successfully used to package devices for chronic applications, some of the most notable being cochlear implants and cardiac pacemakers (Kirsten, Wetterling, Uhlemann, Wolter, & Zigler, 2013). Titanium is the most commonly used metal for hermetic encapsulation because of its biocompatibility, low permeability for ions and moisture, mechanical durability and the ability to create viable hermetic seals by laser welding (Amanat, James, & McKenzie, 2010). Ceramics have also been used for implants for wireless devices to address issues related to attenuation of electromagnetic transmission by metallic packaging (El Khatib, Pothier, Crunteanu, & Blondy, 2007; Schubring & Fujita, 2007; Shen & Maharbiz, 2019). Driven by the increased functionality and scalability offered by innovations in application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and the desire to create highly miniaturized devices on flexible polymer substrates, significant efforts have been made in creating miniaturized implants by integrating the majority of components on a single chip.
