To report the risk of all-cause mortality after treatment with paclitaxel-coated devices vs uncoated controls in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). ⋯ There was no observed difference in short- to midterm mortality among a pooled patient population of predominately CLTI patients treated with paclitaxel-coated balloons or stents compared with uncoated controls.

Safety and Efficacy of Totally Percutaneous Access Compared With Open Femoral Exposure for Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: A Meta-analysis.
To compare the safety and efficacy of percutaneous (PEVAR) vs open femoral access (OFA) techniques for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). ⋯ PEVAR had a similar technical success rate, shorter procedure time, and lower complication rate compared with OFA. Thus, percutaneous access appears to be the preferential approach for EVAR. However, larger and randomized studies are needed to draw definitive conclusions.

Review Meta Analysis
Misdiagnosis of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm: systematic review and meta-analysis.
To quantitatively summarize the incidence of misdiagnosis of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA), the most common presenting features, and the commonest incorrect differential diagnoses. ⋯ The rate of misdiagnosis of rAAA has remained consistent over time and is concerning. There is a need for an effective clinical decision tool to enable accurate diagnosis and triage at the scene of the emergency.

Review Meta Analysis
Early outcomes for fenestrated and chimney endografts in the treatment of pararenal aortic pathologies are not significantly different: a systematic review with pooled data analysis.
To compare short-term outcomes between fenestrated and chimney endografts for pararenal aortic pathologies. ⋯ No statistically significant differences were found between the two endovascular approaches for pararenal aortic pathologies in terms of 30-day mortality, renal impairment, or endoleak. These findings support the assumption that chimney grafts may be a reliable alternative in the treatment of pararenal aortic pathologies.

Review Meta Analysis
Endograft collapse after thoracic endovascular aortic repair.
To provide insight into the causes, timing, and optimal management of endograft collapse after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). ⋯ Endograft collapse typically occurs shortly after TEVAR, most frequently after endovascular repair of traumatic aortic injury. A high level of suspicion for endograft collapse in the first month after TEVAR, as well as further improvement of current endovascular devices, may be required to improve the long-term outcomes of patients after TEVAR.
