Review Meta Analysis
Fenestrated endovascular repair for pararenal abdominal aortic aneurysms: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
The development of endovascular technology has led to the introduction of fenestrated endovascular repair (f-EVAR) to treat pararenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (PRAAAs) that have been deemed unsuitable for standard endovascular repair. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of data from the literature to determine the outcomes of the fenestrated technology. ⋯ This study revealed that f-EVAR treatment for PRAAAs has acceptable early and mid-term outcomes.

Review Case Reports
Hybrid repair of ruptured type B aortic dissection extending into an aberrant right subclavian artery in a patient with Turner's syndrome.
Turner's syndrome (TS) has been documented as the most common cause of aortic dissection in young women. However, little attention from vascular surgery has been paid to these patients. ⋯ Left carotid to subclavian artery bypass, thoracic endovascular aortic repair, and coil embolization of the aberrant right subclavian and left subclavian arteries were performed in an emergency setting. Literature on epidemiology, causes, and management options of acute aortic dissection in TS patients are reviewed and discussed.
