In this issue of the Journal of Vascular Surgery, Tabiei et al1 present their findings
on a clinically relevant and timely topic: the impact of lumen origin and fenestration
gap distance on target vessel (TV) instability (TVI) after fenestrated-branched endovascular…

Comparative outcomes between off-the-shelf thoracoabdominal multibranched endografts
(TAMBE) and physician-modified endografts (PMEG) for complex salvage of type IA endoleak
after prior endovascular aneurysm repair remain poorly defined.

For more than a dozen years, the Society for Vascular Surgery's Wound, Ischemia, and
foot Infection (WIfI) classification has been our common language for the threatened
limb.1 Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have supported its prognostic value for
major…

Despite advances in fenestrated and branched endovascular repairs, a truly universal
off-the-shelf platform for complex aortic aneurysms remains unrealistic. Hofmann et
al1 deliver an important and sobering message: The quest for a universal off-the-shelf…

This paper by Paraskevas1 provides a consensus statement on the optimal management
of internal carotid occlusion (ICAO) from 60 physicians across Europe and the United
States.1 The group presents a systemic review of the literature and concludes that
the…

“I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done
my share; it is time to go. I will do it elegantly.”Albert Einstein, 1955

Endovascular treatment of external iliac artery (EIA) occlusive disease remains technically
demanding, and dedicated segment-specific outcome data are scarce.1 Although covered
stents have demonstrated benefit in common iliac artery (CIA) disease, their durability…

We thank Dr Zil-E-Ali for the insightful commentary on our study of fragmentation
of care (FOC) in uncomplicated type B aortic dissection (uTBAD).1 The commentary highlights
important considerations regarding continuity of care and systems-level management…

I read with interest the study by Pawar et al1 examining fragmentation of care (FOC)
in medically managed uncomplicated type B aortic dissection (uTBAD). In 5476 patients,
FOC, defined as care across unaffiliated health systems, was common (55.6%) and independently…

To assess the prevalence of burnout among Canadian vascular surgeons.

To determine whether computer vision-based analysis of lower extremity angiograms
can differentiate patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) who undergo
amputation from those who do not and assess the relative importance of contrast spatial…

Major lower limb amputations are most commonly performed for complications of diabetes,
peripheral arterial disease (PAD), or trauma. Given the increasing rates of diabetes
and PAD globally, this study aimed to understand the temporal trends in the incidence…

Evidence on drug-coated balloons (DCB) and drug-eluting stents (DES) in peripheral
arterial disease-chronic limb-threatening ischemia (PAD-CLTI) remains conflicting,
as landmark randomized trials including SWEDEPAD and BASIL-3 have shown neutral clinical…

This cross-sectional study examines bariatric surgery utilization among fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries from 2014 to 2024 to better understand trends across this period of declining utilization.

This study attempts to identify clinicopathologic and genomic factors associated with relapse and assess efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy in localized appendiceal adenocarcinoma.

This randomized clinical trial assesses whether prophylactic mesh placement during abdominal wall closure reduces the rate of incisional hernias among high-risk patients undergoing hepatobiliopancreatic (HBP) surgery.

In the Invited Commentary titled “Selective vs Routine Cholangiography Across a Health Care Enterprise,”1 published online December 11, 2024, and in the February 2025 issue, the text in the first, third, and fourth paragraphs has been revised to reflect corrections…

Determining risk factors for rare adverse events from observational datasets, in the setting of surgical care, poses several challenges. These challenges include the need to distinguish causal relationships from mere associations due to confounding; the rarity…

The adoption of laparoscopy as the favored approach for cholecystectomy occurred because of the benefits in a wide variety of outcomes, despite the increase in rates of biliary injury.1 The conversion from laparoscopic to robotic cholecystectomy has been…

The study by Isenberg et al1 thoughtfully analyzed audiovisual data obtained from initial assessments of injured patients at 6 level I trauma centers, examining the frequency of application of trauma-informed care (TIC) principles and the impact of language…

This cross-sectional study analyzes associations of ABO nonidentical transfusions with mortality among patients undergoing massive transfusion protocol.
