Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Long-Term Follow-up of a Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Endovascular Revascularization Plus Supervised Exercise with Supervised Exercise only for Intermittent Claudication.
The goal of this study was to assess the long-term effectiveness of combination therapy for intermittent claudication, compared with supervised exercise only. ⋯ Long-term follow up after combination therapy versus supervised exercise only, demonstrated no significant difference in walking distance or quality of life between the treatment groups. Combination therapy resulted in a lower number of revascularization procedures during follow-up but a higher total number of revascularizations including the randomized treatment.

Multicenter Study
Outcomes of a Multicenter Training Program in Robotic Pancreatoduodenectomy (LAELAPS-3).
To assess feasibility and safety of a multicenter training program in robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) adhering to the IDEAL framework for implementation of surgical innovation. ⋯ This multicenter RPD training program in centers with sufficient surgical volume was found to be feasible without a negative impact of the learning curve on clinical outcomes.

Renoportal Anastomosis during Liver Transplantation in Patients with Portal Vein Thrombosis: First Long-Term Results from a Multicenter Study.
To evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of RPA in a large multicentric series. ⋯ Despite a high rate of PHT-related complications, excellent long-term patient and graft survival could be achieved. RPA could be considered successful in the vast majority of patients. The expanded use of RPA is warranted.

Multicenter Study
Routine Esophagograms Following Hiatus Hernia Repair Minimizes Reoperative Morbidity: A Multicenter Comparative Cohort Study.
Determine the utility of routine esophagograms after hiatus hernia repair and its impact on patient outcomes. ⋯ Postoperative esophagograms decrease the morbidity associated with early and late reoperations, and should be considered for routine use after hiatus hernia surgery.
