Objective: Female patients undergoing endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms present with more challenging anatomy and historically have worse outcomes compared with men. The Ovation Abdominal Stent Graft platform (Endologix, Irving, Calif) contains a polymer-filled proximal sealing ring and has a low-profile delivery system, potentially beneficial in female patients. We therefore investigated differences in long-term outcomes between men and women treated with this device.

Methods: We used data collected prospectively in the Effectiveness of Custom Seal with Ovation: Review of the Evidence (ENCORE) database, comprising five trials and the European Post-Market Registry. Anatomic characteristics of the proximal aneurysm neck and iliac arteries were compared between male and female patients. Outcomes were 5-year freedom from type IA and type I/III endoleaks, abdominal aortic aneurysm-related reinterventions, and overall survival. We used Kaplan-Meier analysis to estimate survival proportions and tested univariate differences in survival using log-rank tests. Cox proportional hazards modeling was used to adjust for baseline differences.

Results: We identified 1045 (81%) male and 251 (19%) female patients undergoing EVAR. Female patients were older (mean age, 75 ± 8.4 years vs 73 ± 8.1 years; P < .006). Aneurysm diameter (52 ± 7.5 mm vs 55 ± 9.2 mm; P < .001) and proximal neck diameter (21 ± 3.3 mm vs 23 ± 2.9 mm; P < .001) were smaller in female patients, but adjusted for body surface area, female patients had relatively larger aneurysms and aneurysm necks. Furthermore, female patients presented with shorter proximal necks, smaller iliac artery diameters, more angulated necks, and higher rates of reverse-tapered necks. Five-year freedom from type IA endoleak was similar between men and women (97% vs 96%; P = .38), as was freedom from type I/III endoleaks (91% vs 94%; P = .37) and reinterventions (91% vs 93%; P = .67). Five-year survival was 81% for female patients, similar to the 79% in male patients (P = .55), with one aneurysm-related death in female patients (0.4%) and five in male patients (0.8%; P = .76). Risk-adjusted analyses showed no association between sex and type IA endoleak (hazard ratio [HR], 1.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.6-3.1; P = .41), type I/III endoleak (HR, 1.4; 95% CI, 0.7-2.8; P = .33), reintervention (HR, 1.0; 95% CI, 0.6-2.0; P = .77), and overall mortality (HR, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.4-1.1; P = .14).

Conclusions: Female patients undergoing EVAR with the Ovation platform presented with substantially more adverse proximal neck characteristics. Despite these differences, 5-year freedom from endoleaks and overall survival did not differ between sexes.

Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, China; Departments of Neurology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, 899 Pinghai Road, Suzhou 215000, Jiangsu, China.

Objectives: To develope and validate a nomogram to predict the probability of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients after acute stroke during the first 14 days with clinical features and easily obtainable biochemical parameters.

Methods: This is a single-center prospective cohort study. The potential predictive variables for DVT at baseline were collected, and the presence of DVT was evaluated using ultrasonography within the first 14 days. Read More

We report the data on 15 women who presented with Ph-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) between Jan 2009 until Dec 2016 and who were treated on the prospective multicenter RALL-2009 clinical trial. A comparison of their outcome was made with 129 non-pregnant females who entered the study and were treated by the same schedule. 10-years OS for pregnant and non-pregnant women was 58. Read More

Biodegradable materials for surgical management of stress urinary incontinence: A narrative review.

Authors:
E MacCraith F J O'Brien N F Davis

Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 2021 Feb 26;259:153-160. Epub 2021 Feb 26.

Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, Tissue Engineering Research Group, Dublin, Ireland; Department of Urology, Blackrock Clinic, Dublin, Ireland.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) was managed with techniques such as colposuspension, autologous fascia sling and urethral bulking agents. The introduction of the mid-urethral polypropylene (PP) sling in the 1990s led to a significant and rapid global change in SUI surgery. The synthetic non-degradable PP sling had superior results to traditional SUI procedures but its use has now declined due to significant complications such as pain and mesh erosion. Read More

Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Central Michigan University, Children's Hospital of Michigan, Detroit, MI, United States of America. Electronic address:

Background: Minor head injury (MHI) in children is a common emergency department (ED) presentation. It is well established that majority of these patients don't require imaging and can be safely discharged. What is less known is how often these children come back to the ED and the outcome of their revisits? The objective of this study was to describe the frequency and outcome of unscheduled return visits (RVs) for MHI in a pediatric ED. Read More
