Predictors of 2-Year Mortality and Risk Stratification After Surgical or Endovascular Revascularization of Infrainguinal Artery Disease in Hemodialysis Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia
Conclusion: Advanced age, low albumin level, and low ejection fraction were independently associated with 2-year mortality after revascularization in HD patients with CLI. Risk stratification by these factors would be useful for deciding on a revascularization strategy. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Histopathological Evidence of Adventitial or Medial Injury Is a Strong Predictor of Restenosis During Directional Atherectomy for Peripheral Artery Disease
Conclusion: Lack of adventitial injury after atherectomy for femoropopliteal stenosis is strongly related to patency at 1 year. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

A Comparison of Clinical Outcomes for Diabetic and Nondiabetic Patients Following Directional Atherectomy in the DEFINITIVE LE Claudicant Cohort
Conclusion: Noninferior 12-month patency rates demonstrate that directional atherectomy is an effective treatment in diabetic as well as nondiabetic claudicants. Directional atherectomy remains an attractive treatment option, improving luminal diameters without stents, which preserves future treatment options for both diabetic and nondiabetic patients with progressive, diffuse vascular disease.

Primary Self-EXPANDing Nitinol Stenting vs Balloon Angioplasty With Optional Bailout Stenting for the Treatment of Infrapopliteal Artery Disease in Patients With Severe Intermittent Claudication or Critical Limb Ischemia (EXPAND Study)
Conclusion: Primary self-expanding nitinol stenting did not show statistically different clinical outcomes compared to angioplasty with bailout stenting for infrapopliteal lesions. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Outcomes of Isolated Tibial Endovascular Interventions for Tissue Loss in CLI Patients on Hemodialysis
Conclusion: Tibial intervention for tissue loss in patients on HD is a valid treatment option but is associated with a high MALE rate. Three-year outcomes remain relatively poor, with <25% success in terms of clinical efficacy and AFS. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

An Update on Methods for Revascularization and Expansion of the TASC Lesion Classification to Include Below-the-Knee Arteries: A Supplement to the Inter-Society Consensus for the Management of Peripheral Arterial Disease (TASC II)
The Inter-Society Consensus for the Management of Peripheral Arterial Disease (TASC) guidelines were last updated in 2007 (TASC II) and represented the collaboration of international vascular specialties involved in the management of patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Since the publication of TASC II, there have been innovations in endovascular revascularization strategies for patients with PAD. The intent of this publication is to provide a complete anatomic lower limb TASC lesion classification, including the infrapopliteal segment, and an updated literature review of new endovascular techniques and practic...

Endovascular Repair of Saccular Ascending Aortic Aneurysm After Orthotopic Heart Transplantation Using an Investigational Zenith Ascend Stent-Graft
Conclusion: The ideal ascending aortic stent-graft should be low profile, conformable to the arch anatomy, with short tip delivery system and a stepwise deployment mechanism that allows precise placement relative to the ostia of the coronary arteries and the innominate artery. This case illustrates the advancement of endovascular techniques to the most challenging segment of the aorta to decrease morbidity and mortality in high-risk patients.

Preliminary Clinical Results and Mechanical Behavior of a New Double-Layer Carotid Stent
Conclusion: The first clinical results showed a safe implantation behavior without the occurrence of any ischemia. The structure of the new CASPER-RX stent creates an acceptable flexibility, low radial force, and high collapse pressure. The large foreshortening during implantation should be considered as well as the higher bending stiffness, especially when used in elongated carotid arteries.
