Simultaneous Bilateral vs Unilateral Carotid Artery Stenting: 30-Day and 1-Year Results
Conclusion: The study showed that simultaneous bilateral CAS had no more adverse events than unilateral CAS during the periprocedural period or within 1 year. This 1-stage strategy may become a valuable alternative in the treatment of patients with severe bilateral carotid stenosis. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Transcervical Carotid Stenting With Dynamic Flow Reversal Demonstrates Embolization Rates Comparable to Carotid Endarterectomy
Conclusion: TCD recordings demonstrated a significant reduction in embolization to the brain during transcervical carotid artery stent placement with the use of dynamic flow reversal compared to transfemoral CAS using distal filters. No significant differences in microembolization could be detected between CEA and CASfr. The observed lower embolization rates and lack of adverse events suggest that transcervical CAS with dynamic flow reversal is a promising technique and may be the preferred method when performing CAS.

Corrigendum
Discussion section, the sentence "Although the combined therapy of laser and DEB angioplasty was associated with better outcomes than DEB angioplasty alone for in-stent restenosis, laser atherectomy has been associated with a higher incidence of significant distal embolization compared with DA." should read "The combined therapy of laser and DEB angioplasty was associated with better outcomes than DEB angioplasty alone for in-stent restenosis and a lower but statistically not significant incidence of distal embolization compared with DA."

Type IIIb Endoleak With the Endurant Stent-Graft
Conclusion: The cause of the type IIIb endoleaks in these cases was fabric erosion likely due to interaction between the bare metal at the top of the contralateral limb and the fabric of the stent-graft body. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)

Treatment Modalities for Small Saphenous Vein Insufficiency: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Conclusion: Endovenous thermal ablation (EVLA/RFA) should be preferred to surgery and foam sclerotherapy in the treatment of SSV incompetence. Although data on nonthermal techniques in SSV are still sparse, the potential benefits, especially the reduced risk of nerve injury, might be of considerable clinical importance.

New Advances in Endovascular Therapy: Endovascular Repair of a Chronic DeBakey Type II Aortic Dissection With a Scalloped Stent-Graft Designed for the Ascending Aorta
Conclusion: The use of fenestrated stent-grafts in the ascending aorta is feasible, and a scallop in the distal stent-graft can extend coverage of the ascending aorta in pathologies close to the innominate artery. This technique broadens the range of endovascular options for patients not suitable for open surgery. (Source: Journal of Endovascular Therapy)
