Inflammatory Cell Phenotypes in AAAs Their Role and Potential as Targets for Therapy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined both human and murine aortic tissue for the presence of various inflammatory cell types, such as CD4+ T cells and macrophages, and found that these cells have the ability to undergo phenotypic modulation based on microenvironmental cues, potentially influencing disease progression.

Endovascular versus open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm.

TL;DR: Endovascular repair was associated with increased rates of graft-related complications and reinterventions and was more costly than open surgical repair, but no differences were seen in total mortality or aneurysm-related mortality in the long term.

Outcomes Following Endovascular vs Open Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: A Randomized Trial

TL;DR: Perioperative mortality was low for both procedures and lower for endovascular than open repair in this report of short-term outcomes after elective AAA repair, and the early advantage of endov vascular repair was not offset by increased morbidity or mortality in the first 2 years after repair.
