Infrainguinal arterial reconstruction can be performed safely with comparable results in women and men. Although women may present older and more often for limb salvage, outcomes do not appear to be adversely affected.

Patients with short-segment venous strictures after successful lysis and thoracic outlet decompression may safely be treated with subclavian venous stents and can expect long-term patency.

Eversion CEA can be performed safely with a low rate of stroke and death and a minimal restenosis rate in short- and long-term follow-up.

Retroperitoneal exclusion and bypass is a viable alternative to traditional open endoaneurysmorraphy in surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysm. Most excluded aneurysm sacs have thrombosis without any long- or short-term complications; however, in a small number of patients delayed rupture of patent aneurysm occurs, thus emphasizing the need for diligent follow-up and appropriate intervention.
