Does diabetes affect the postoperative outcomes after total arterial off-pump coronary bypass surgery in multivessel disease?
Diabetes mellitus did not affect the early postoperative and midterm results, including one-year graft patency, in patients with multivessel disease undergoing total arterial and off-pump CABG.
EVAR with bifurcated stent grafts is safe and effective in patients with a narrow distal aortic diameter, even when the aortic bifurcation measures <14 mm. Adjunctive balloon dilatation did not result in any bleeding complications from aortic disruption, and limb patency was excellent. Aortouniiliac converters are rarely needed for this indication.
