Endovascular Repair of Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Guest: Bernardo C. Mendes, M.D.

Hosts: Malcolm R. Bell, M.D.

Endovascular treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) with fenestrated-branched endovascular aneurysm repair (F/B-EVAR) has gained increasing acceptance in patients with suitable anatomy. These techniques have resulted in superior perioperative outcomes when compared to traditional open repair. Patient selection, meticulous preoperative planning, and proper device design are critical to ensure successful treatment. The field of TAAA repair is constantly evolving with ongoing research and the development of new techniques and devices to further improve patient outcomes. This podcast discusses a review of endovascular TAAA treatment, summarizing some general aspects of device design and clinical features relevant to technical success and excellent long-term outcomes.

Topics Discussed:

Endovascular vs Open Repair
Fenestrated and Branched Stents
Potential Complications and what to look for

Lipid Management Post ACS or Revas: What Therapies Should be Combined

Guest: Anna Svatikova, M.D., Ph.D.

Host: Sharonne Hayes, M.D

Matching the intensity of LDL cholesterol lowering with the absolute risk of the patient is key in prevention of cardiovascular events. In recent years new lipid lowering drugs (injectable drugs) have emerged, but statins continue to be the first line treatment in management of hyperlipidemia, if patient can tolerate it. We should not underestimate the power of healthy lifestyle (healthy diet and exercise). Without healthy lifestyle, statins and other lipid lowering drugs are less effective.

Topics Discussed:

Statins and Statin Intolerance.
Cholesterol - LDL what are the thresholds of too low?
Lifestyle choices and changes, how it impacts cholesterol levels
