This episode explores how polyethylene terephthalate (PET, Dacron) used in stent-graft fabric degrades over time. We discuss hydrolysis kinetics, mechanical fatigue, and real-world outcomes such as type IIIb endoleaks. Drawing on explant studies and materia...
In this episode of “AI, Robotics and the Latest in Vascular Surgery,” we explore how artificial intelligence and robotics are reshaping vascular practice. Highlights include outcome‑prediction models for amputation and dialysis access, automated extraction...
Welcome back to Recent Topics in Vascular Surgery. Today’s episode will focus on one of the most debated subjects in peripheral endovascular therapy over the past decade: the safety of paclitaxel-coated balloons and stents. Specifically, I want to talk abou...
In this episode of Recent Topics in Vascular Surgery, Dr. Dai Yamanouchi discusses new insights from his group’s recent publication on managing chronic type B aortic dissection with thoracoabdominal aneurysm. Although prior PETTICOAT or STABILISE procedures...
In this episode of Recent Topics in Vascular Surgery, Dr. Dai Yamanouchi reviews the twenty twenty-five Society for Vascular Surgery focused update on the management of intermittent claudication. Key highlights include the evolving role of antithrombotic th...
In this episode of Recent Topics in Vascular Surgery, Dr. Dai Yamanouchi explains how the FDA evaluates stent grafts for abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Unlike drug trials that rely on randomized control arms with preset noninferiority margins, stent graf...
Today, we explore a significant study comparing fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR) and open aortic repair (OAR) for complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (cAAAs). Published in the Journal of Vascular Surgery January 2025 issue, this research sheds...
