The short- and mid-term outcomes of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair have made it a standard treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms. However, newer generation devices have yet to demonstrate improved long-term rates for complications, reinterventions, and survival. The TREO stent graft is a latest generation device and was evaluated for approval in the United States.

In a multicenter, nonrandomized, investigational device exemption clinical trial, we assessed the safety and effectiveness of the TREO device, with core laboratory assessment of the imaging studies and an independent adjudication of safety. The primary effectiveness endpoint was successful aneurysm treatment at 1year. The primary safety endpoint was the incidence of major adverse events (MAE) at 30days.

A total of 150 patients (132 men; 88.0%) with infrarenal abdominal aortic (87.3%) or aortoiliac (12.7%) aneurysms were enrolled. The data were normally distributed. The mean age was 71.7± 7.4years. The MAE incidence at 30days was 0.7%. One subject experienced two MAE myocardial infarction and procedural blood loss of 1000mL. The proportion of successful aneurysm treatment at 1year was 93.1%. Longer term follow-up continues, with no aneurysm-related mortality at the latest follow-up. At 3years, the cumulative all-cause mortality and incidence of type I and type III endoleaks was 10.7% (n= 16), 2.7% (n= 4), and 0% (n= 0), respectively. In addition, aneurysm sac shrinkage >5mm at 3years had occurred in 54.3% of patients, and 9.3% had required a secondary intervention (n= 14).

The safety and effectiveness of endovascular repair of abdominal aneurysms with TREO were demonstrated, with 93.1% successful aneurysm treatment at 1year and aneurysm sac shrinkage >5mm at 3years in 54.3% of patients. Long-term follow-up continues to determine whether these favorable outcomes will be sustained.

To determine (a) whether patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who walked at least 7000 and 10,000 steps/day had better ambulatory function and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) than patients who walked less than 7000 steps/day, and (b) whether differences in ambulatory function and HRQoL in patients grouped according to these daily step count criteria persisted after adjusting for covariates.

Two hundred forty-eight patients were assessed on their daily ambulatory activity for 1week with a step activity monitor, and were grouped according to daily step count targets. Patients who took fewer than 7000 steps/day were included in group 1 (n= 153), those who took 7000 to 9999 steps/day were included in group 2 (n= 57), and patients who took at least 10,000 steps/day were included in group 3 (n= 38). Primary outcomes were the 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) and Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ) distance score, which is a disease-specific measurement of HRQoL. Patients were further characterize000 steps/day had greater ambulatory function and HRQoL than patients who walked fewer than 7000 steps/day. Second, the greater ambulatory function and HRQoL associated with walking 7000 and 10,000 steps/day persisted after adjusting for covariates. This study provides preliminary evidence that patients with PAD who walk more than 7000 steps/day have better ambulatory function and HRQoL than patients below this threshold.

Because the treatment of intermittent claudication (IC) is elective, good short- and long-term outcomes are imperative. The objective of the present study was to examine the outcomes of endovascular management of IC reported in the Vascular Quality Initiative and compare them with the Society for Vascular Surgery guidelines for IC treatment to determine whether real-world results are within the guidelines.

Patients undergoing peripheral vascular intervention for IC from 2004 to 2017 with complete data and >9month follow-up were included. The primary outcome measures were IC recurrence and repeat procedures performed ≤2years after the initial treatment.

A total of 16,152 patients met the inclusion criteria, with a mean age of 66years. Of the 16,152 patients, 61% were men, 45% were current smokers, and 28% had been discharged without antiplatelet or statin medication. Adjusted analyses revealed that treatment of more than two arteries was associated with a shorter time to IC recurrence (hazard ratio [Hspecialists should be aware of the association between atherectomy and multivessel interventions with poorer long-term outcomes and counsel patients appropriately before intervention.

Poststent ballooning/angioplasty (post-SB) have been shown to increase the risk of stroke risk after transfemoral carotid artery stenting. With the advancement of transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) with dynamic cerebral blood flow reversal, we aimed to study the impact of post-SB during TCAR.

Patients undergoing TCAR in the Vascular Quality Initiative between September 2016 and May 2019 were included and were divided into three groups those who received prestent deployment angioplasty only (pre-SB, reference group), those who received poststent deployment ballooning only (post-SB), and those who received both prestent and poststent deployment ballooning (prepost-SB). Patients who did not receive any angioplasty during their procedure (n= 367 [6.7%]) were excluded because these represent a different group of patients with less complex lesions than those requiring angioplasty. Primary outcome was in-hospital stroke or death. Analysis was performed using univariable and multivariable logistic regression models.
