This study confirms the feasibility and safety of total percutaneous endovascular AAA repair. Our preliminary results suggest that the costs paid by healthcare providers for endovascular AAA repair might not be increased with the selective use of percutaneous closure devices.
Review of the literature and this series suggests that PAU of the abdominal aorta is a life-threatening lesion, the main risk being rupture. Surgical management is recommended owing to its low morbidity and mortality.
In-situ reconstruction with the silver graft confirms similarity with other modalities. The greatest advantage for the silver graft is its ease of use but the risk of reinfection remains significant.
The RADAR technique is associated with less juxta-anastomotic stenosis, increased maturation and patency, and fewer secondary interventions. These improved outcomes suggest that RADAR may be the preferred surgical technique to perform radial-cephalic arteriovenous fistula.
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.
