Initial Results of Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms with a Self-expanding Stent-Graft

A 10-Year Single-Center Prospective Study of Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair With the Talent Stent-Graft

“…10 In another study in which 50 of 121 patients had significant comorbidities, May et al 23 reported an early mortality of 4.9%. Interestingly, in our first 133 patients, 12 the perioperative mortality was 3.0%; when enrollment reached 193 patients, the rate had risen to 3.7%. 13 This progressive increase in mortality probably is associated with a less rigorous selection of patients.…”

“…4–8 Several randomized trials have shown good early outcomes with this less aggressive technique, 9–11 but despite these immediate benefits of EVAR, doubts remain concerning its long-term durability. Our EVAR trial started in 1997, 12,13 so we now present clinical and radiological data obtained in our institution over a 10-year period.…”

Suprarenal endograft fixation and medium-term renal function: Systematic review and meta-analysis

“…† One of these provided no data on postprocedural renal function, 35 and three series contained both suprarenal and infrarenal fixation patients but did not assess the impact of fixation on renal function. 46,47,49 One series used the number of kidneys rather than patients as the study denominator. We were unable to contact the authors for clarification so this series was excluded.…”

O stent descoberto não promove reações em artérias renais e parênquima renal em suínos

“…These studies have shown through biochemical and imaginological analysis that the implantation of adrenal stents is safe. However, the longterm histological effects of this technique are still not fully understood [8,[25][26][27]. Among the consequences of adrenal stents implantation we can highlight changes in renal flow, renal artery ostium stenosis and changes in the aortic wall in response to the stent [28,29].…”
