TL;DR: In this article , the authors focused on the 1-year outcomes of ipsilateral stroke or death after transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR), CEA, and TFCAS.

TL;DR: The Society for Vascular Surgery clinical practice guidelines on popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs) leverage the work of a panel of experts chosen by the SVM to review the current world literature as it applies to PAAs to extract the most salient, evidence-based recommendations for the treatment of these patients as mentioned in this paper .

TL;DR: The 4F WavelinQ EndoAVF System was developed as a lower profile alternative to facilitate access through smaller vessels and minimize access site complications; the current report is the original experience of this device, assessing outcome in 120 patients followed for 6 months as mentioned in this paper .

TL;DR: In this article , the authors present evidence-based recommendations related to all the health care received in the perioperative period for patients undergoing open abdominal aortic operations (both transabdominal and retroperitoneal approaches, including supraceliac, supra-renal, and infrarenal clamp sites) for aortric aneurysm and aortoiliac occlusive disease.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used publicly available data from ClinicalTrials.gov to evaluate trials pertaining to carotid artery stenosis (CAS), peripheral arterial disease (PAD), thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms (TAA and AAA) from 2008 to the present.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the safety and effectiveness of a suture-mediated vascular closure device to perform hemostasis after axillary artery access during endovascular procedures on the aortic valve, aorta and its side branches.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the effect of the gap distance between the endograft reinforced fenestration and TA origin at the aortic wall (fenestration gap [FG]) on target-related outcomes after FB-EVAR.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors compared the outcomes of transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) and transfemoral carotid stenting (TFCAS) and found that TCAR was associated with a 40% to 90% reduction in the odds of contralateral stroke (OR, 0.13-0.4; P = .004), stroke/death compared with TFCAS, and stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA), 1.6; 95% CI, 1.04-2.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the incidence of intraoperative adverse events (IAEs) and their impact on outcomes after fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) of complex abdominal aortric aneurysms.

TL;DR: In this paper , the efficacy and safety of perioperative dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin/ticagrelor vs aspirin/clopidogrel in patients undergoing transfemoral carotid artery stenting (tfCAS) or transcarotid vessel revascularization (TCAR) were examined.

TL;DR: In this article , the effects of secondary interventions after fenestrated or branched endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (F/BEVAR) have been less well described.

TL;DR: A systematic search for English-language reports was performed in MEDLINE, the Cochrane Database, and EMBASE in accordance with the PRISMA (preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis) guidelines by two investigators (C.T. and A.W.) as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: In this article , the potential healing prognosis of the different routine noninvasive techniques implemented in the International Working Group Diabetic Foot Guidelines with the novel use of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) in patients with diabetic foot ulcers was compared.

TL;DR: The medial arterial calcification (MAC) score as discussed by the authors is a simple metric that describes the burden of inframalleolar calcification using a plain foot radiograph and has been shown to be a strong independent predictor of major amputation in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors performed a narrative review based on studies reporting applications of artificial intelligence in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and identified studies published between January 1995 and December 2021.

TL;DR: A systematic review and meta-analysis of all population-based studies reporting on incidence of acute aortic dissections (AADs) was performed in this article , where data were pooled using a random effects model of proportions using Freeman-Tukey double arcsine transformation.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the sex and gender differences in the presentation severity and outcomes for patients who had undergone major vascular surgery, including abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), carotid artery stenosis (CAS), peripheral artery disease (PAD), and type B dissection (TBAD).

TL;DR: Procedural staging is often performed to reduce the incidence of spinal cord ischemia (SCI) during endovascular treatment of extensive thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used indirect identifiers to link the VQI data to Medicare claims with >90% success and >99% accuracy using a sequential algorithm based on the patient's date of birth, sex, zip code, procedure date, and procedure facility.

TL;DR: In this article , a review of the data available in terms of training slots for women in general and vascular surgery and within the vascular surgery workforce is presented, showing that women comprise 36% of active physicians in the 2019 Association of American Medical Colleges data.

TL;DR: The thoracic branch endoprosthesis device allows for graft placement proximal to the LSA and incorporates a single side branch for left subclavian perfusion as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: In this article , the prevalence of hazards in vascular training (mistreatment, duty-hour violations) and the rates of wellness outcomes (burnout, thoughts of attrition/specialty change/suicide) were assessed by assessing burnout symptoms reported on a weekly basis or more frequently.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis using the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases through May 2021, and included studies that had described both EVAR and OAR for the treatment of infected abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), and the primary endpoints were the rates of recurrent infection and related rupture and/or death.

TL;DR: In this article , the best available evidence comparing open vs endovascular popliteal artery aneurysm (PAA) repair was summarized. And the authors also summarized the natural history of PAAs to support the Society for Vascular Surgery guidelines.

TL;DR: In this article , the authorship trends by gender in the three highest impact factor vascular surgery journals from 2015 to 2019 were evaluated using Stata16 and a web-based application Genderize.
