The PLIANT II registry is undertaken to examine the real-world outcome after treatment of consecutive patients with uni- or bilateral aorto-iliac or iliac aneurysms using the E-liac Stent Graft System.
This study was designed to evaluate the hypothesis that the operative and midterm results of valve-sparing aortic root replacement are equivalent to those of the Bentall. Objective 1: Evaluate short-term (one-to-six months) and mid-term (six-to-forty-eight months) results of aortic valve-sparing procedures. Objective 2: Compare the results of aortic valve-sparing procedures with the group of patients undergoing Bentall procedures during the same period. Objective 3: Assess outcomes of both procedures through evaluation of postoperative: A) primary outcome measures: 1. Intraoperative or intrahospital death. 2. Reexploration for bleeding. 3. Reoperation rate. 4. Grade of aortic valve regurgitation (0-4). B)secondary outcome measures: 1. Grade of aortic valve regurgitation (0-4). 2. Mean gradient on the aortic valve(mmHg). 3. Thromboembolism / bleeding. 4. Prosthetic/native valve endocarditis. 5. 2-year mortality
The investigators conducted a bicentric prospective study to quantify the hemodynamic disturbances to the ostia of the renal arteries generated by the implantation EVAR with suprarenal fixation immediately postoperatively.
Readmissions increasingly serve as a metric of hospital performance, inviting quality improvement initiatives in both medicine and surgery. Recently, a readmission reduction program in the United States was associated with significantly shorter length of stay, earlier discharge, and reduced 30-day readmission after elective neurosurgery. These results underscore the importance of patient education and surveillance after hospital discharge, and it would be beneficial to test whether the same approach yields beneficial results in a different health system, the NHS. In this study, the investigators will replicate the Transitional Care Program (TCP) published by Robertson et al.(Journal of Neurosurgery 2017) with the goal of decreasing length of stay, improving discharge efficiency, and reducing readmissions in neurosurgical patients by optimizing patient education and post-discharge surveillance.
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of single dose preoperative ferric carboxymaltose in the prevention of postoperative infections and blood transfusions in patients scheduled for cardiac surgery. Half of the patients will receive ferric carboxymaltose and half of the patients physiological saline solution as placebo.
The overall incidence of DWI positive for thromboembolic events following endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms is proximately 50%. Whether remote ischemic conditioning was safe and effective to reduce ischemic brain lesions on DWI after endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms is still unclear. The investigators' hypothesis is that remote ischemic conditioning is a safe and effective strategy to reduce new ischemic lesions in intracranial aneurysms patients undergoing endovascular treatment.
The ascending aorta conducts blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The ascending aorta can become enlarged, and the risk of tearing and rupturing becomes higher with larger aorta. When the ascending aorta tears or ruptures, the risk dying is high even if surgery is done as soon as possible. Traditionally, when the ascending aorta gets above 5.5 cm, surgery is recommended to replace the aorta. However, this threshold is based relatively weak evidence, and sometimes patients with smaller aorta can tear or rupture. On the other hand, surgery carries its own risk as well. Since there are risk of waiting or doing surgery, there is currently no great support for either approach for patients with a smaller aorta. In the TITAN SvS trial, patients with an ascending aorta between 5.0 to 5.5 cm is assigned by chance to the early surgery group, in which they will undergo replacement of aorta, or the surveillance group, in which they will be closely monitored. The chance of dying or suffer tearing or rupture of aorta between the two groups will be compared. The result of the trial will guide future practice for patients with enlarged ascending aorta. This is a prospective, multi-centre randomized control trial that compares the all-cause mortality, aneurysm-related aortic events, rate of stroke, and quality of life for those patients undergoing early elective ascending aortic surgery to those patients undergoing surveillance. Patients referred for an ascending aortic aneurysm that meets the inclusion criteria will be randomized to the early elective surgery group or the surveillance group. Recruitment will end when the desired sample size is reached, and the patients will be followed for a minimum 2-year period. The primary objective of the trial is to compare the composite outcome of the all-cause mortality and incidence of acute aortic events between surveillance and elective ascending aortic surgery for patients with degenerative or bicuspid valve-related ascending aortic aneurysm after 2 years of follow up. The hypothesis is that the early surgery group will have a significantly lower all-cause mortality and incidence of acute aortic events at 2 years of follow up compare to the surveillance group. The result of this trial will provide evidence based guidance in the appropriate management of ascending aortic aneurysm based on the size criteria, and establish a large database for future investigations.

This study evaluates a novel noninvasive method to dynamically monitor the effect of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and endovascular treatment of AAA (EVAR) on arterial pulse wave
