OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to examine the role of the provisional extension to induce complete attachment (PETTICOAT) aortic dissection repair technique with bare metal stents (BMSs) in abdominal remodeling of residual DeBakey type I aortic dissec...
BACKGROUND: Calcification is prevalent in CKD patients, with abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) being a strong predictor of coronary calcification. We aimed to identify key calcification factors in CKD and non-CKD populations using machine learning...
Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure crucial for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), where precise pre-operative planning is essential. Current clinical methods rely on manual measurements, which are time-consu...
