TL;DR: The acidosis origin seems to have a large influence on renal compensation in terms of ammonium excretion and the possibility of an overcorrection in relation to the increase in base excess.

TL;DR: The present study clearly confirmed ability of an accelerated cutting of stenotic aortic valve by the aortIC valve resection tool and should be enhanced by adding a centering mechanism, thus achieving a more precise cutting process in order to avoid secondary damage.

TL;DR: The aim of this present review is to present the “Essen” treatment concept of complicated acute aortic arch dissection from diagnostics to operation strategy.

TL;DR: The use of two different stentgrafts to influence the stent-length and taper ratio and the “1þ 1” strategy described by Pu et al seems to be similar to that previously described by Kato et al. more than 10 years ago, and it does not appear to be difficult to treat aortic dissection with one stentGraft without resulting in oversizing.

TL;DR: It is recommended to individualize the indication for carotid revascularization after discussion by a multidisciplinary team involving a neurologist and to determine the timing of the procedure by local expertise and clinical presentation, targeting the most symptomatic territory first.
