TL;DR: The natural history of aortic disease, indications for repair, outcomes after conventional open surgery, currently available devices, and insights from outcomes of randomized studies using stent-grafts for abdominal aorti aneurysm surgery are reviewed; a suggestion for treatment is offered.

TL;DR: In this paper, a retrospective chart review was done of all popliteal artery aneurysm repairs since January 1, 2000, and the mid-term outcomes of a series of elective endovascular Popliteal Aneurysms (EVPAR) repairs compared with concurrent results of open surgical repair.

TL;DR: Extremely low tau (< 2 dyne/cm(2)) stimulates high rates of smooth muscle cellular proliferation in arterialized vein patches and results in NIT beyond that predicted by a simple linear correlation.

TL;DR: The black women had significantly lower RMRs than the white women after adjustment for FFM measured by five body-composition models: dual-photon X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), hydrodensitometry, total body water, a three-compartment model, a four-compartments model, as well as for the absolute total-body potassium content as a measure of metabolically active FFM.

TL;DR: In both races, VAT accumulation was associated with systemic resistance to the antilipolytic effect of insulin and, in obese black women, systemic lipolysis measured as glycerol turnover rate was more responsive to insulin suppression than were systemic FFA turnover rates.
