This early and mid-term data support the use of the Zenith endovascular graft for the treatment of aortic and aortoiliac aneurysms in properly selected patients. The risks of significant complications or aneurysm rupture are low.
The pattern of residual lesions and recurrent stenoses differs with each technique of endarterectomy. Proximal stenoses are more common after E-CE, and distal stenoses are more common after CE-P at both 1 month and 1 year. The frequency of proximal lesions is reduced in E-CE when either the internal carotid artery is advanced proximally onto the CCA or a long CCA arteriotomy is made. Distal recurrences do not seem to be a problem after eversion endarterectomy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
