How does the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in Baltimore PC evaluate the continued failure rates of stent-graft repair? Why do most practitioners feel that choosing between endovascular repair with endoleaks or EVAR graft migration and open surgical repair is a toss up considering the complexity of EVAR? Is it time for a combination […]

Background: Stent graft migration following endovascular aneurysm repair has been reported with all currently available devices and can result in type I endoleaks and aneurysm rupture. Standard surgical anastamosis with suturing through the adventia requires a significantly greater force to disrupt compared to any current proximal endovascular device fixation. The […]

Does a the study challenge the current recommendations that support AAA screenings only in men? Are older women with a history of smoking, heart disease also prone? Why do the current guidelines recommend that screening be only performed and reimbursed by Medicare for men aged 65 to 75?

Advanced medical devices address automated suturing

Sunday, October 21, 2007

Will traditional vascular surgery be performed without large surgical incisions in the future? Will innovative surgical tools simplify surgical procedures for the repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm? Will innovative solutions for facilitating procedures in vascular surgery developed by Russian-born Israeli vascular surgeon Prof. Edward Shifrin make a difference in the proximal fixation of grafts?

Minimally invasive surgery techniques replacing endoaneurysmorrhaphy > Laparoscopic permanent repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm AAA

Monday, September 3, 2007

Is elective surgical treatment of AAA the most reasonable approach to prevent the mortality associated with this disorder? Can abdominal aortic aneurysms be treated successfully by elective surgical replacement with synthetic graft in a laparoscopic procedure? Are the laparoscopic techniques well refined and ready for widespread adaptation?

Over the last decade, minimally invasive surgical techniques have […]
