Abdominal aortic aneurysms remain a challenging diagnosis for patients. Over the last 18 years, the minimally invasive endovascular approach has developed into a viable alternative to traditional open surgery for the treatment of these abnormal aortic dilatations. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is the preferred method of repairing abdominal aneurysms in older and high-risk patients. EVAR has… View more

Minimally invasive procedures such as endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and implantation of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) are gaining ground on traditional surgery.1–3 These procedures require large-bore access, which is inherently associated with vascular complications and bleeding. Despite the reduction in size of these devices (Table 1),… View more

Since the first reported endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) by Parodi in 1991,1 the approach to the treatment of aneurysmal pathology has changed. The old concept of substitution of the aneurysmal aorta has been replaced by the new and challenging concept of exclusion, in order to pursue the same aim of preventing or treating aneurysm rupture. EVAR is a minimally invasive… View more

The Volodos publication received little attention in the Western world at the time towards the end of the Soviet Union era.1 It was at the 1990 Charing Cross Symposium in London that many in vascular disease management first heard… View more
