Prefabricated pericardial bovine grafts for reconstruction of lower extremity under infectious conditions Open
Background: Biological graft options for vascular reconstruction following graft infection (VGI) of lower extremity remain scarce. Custom-made nature of previously reported bovine pericardial grafts (BPG) comes at an expense of serious mat…

Structural failure in bridging stentgrafts for branched endovascular aneurysm repair: a case–control study Open
Objective To present a case series of spontaneous structural failure of bridging stentgrafts (BSGs) after branched endovascular aortic repair (bEVAR), as well as their failure types and their detection. While bEVAR is a safe and effective …

Left Renal Vein Division for Juxtarenal Aortic Exposure: Influence on Renal Function and Role of the Communicating Lumbar Vein Open
Background In this study, we evaluate the outcome of renal function in patients undergoing juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with or without division of the left renal vein with special focus on the role of the communicating lumb…

Concomitantly discovered visceral artery aneurysms do rarely grow during cancer therapy Open
Visceral artery aneurysms (VAA) are a rare entity of arterial aneurysms with the imminent threat of rupture. The impact of cancer and chemotherapy on the growth of VAAs is unknown. A retrospective dual center cohort study of patients with …

Standardized intraoperative application of an absorbable polysaccharide hemostatic powder to reduce the incidence of lymphocele after kidney transplantation - a prospective trial Open
We assessed whether standardized application of an absorbable polysaccharide hemostatic powder (HaemoCer™) has an effect on lymphocele rate after kidney transplantation. For this nonrandomized prospective trial, we first aimed to know our …

Successful desensitization with proteasome inhibition and costimulation blockade in sensitized nonhuman primates Open
Key Points Targeting both PCs and GC response reduces donor-specific antibodies and prolongs graft survival in sensitized NHP kidney transplantation.

NGAL and MMP-9/NGAL as biomarkers of plaque vulnerability and targets of statins in patients with carotid atherosclerosis Open
Background: Neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) is expressed in atherosclerotic lesions and was recently implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular pathologies. Statins are known to exert stabilizing effects on atherosc…

Humoral Compensation after Bortezomib Treatment of Allosensitized Recipients Open
The efficacy of bortezomib monotherapy in desensitizing kidney transplant candidates with preformed donor-specific antibodies remains unclear. We evaluated the effect of bortezomib on preformed antibodies and upstream components of the B c…

Thrombalexin: Use of a Cytotopic Anticoagulant to Reduce Thrombotic Microangiopathy in a Highly Sensitized Model of Kidney Transplantation Open
Early activation of coagulation is an important factor in the initiation of innate immunity, as characterized by thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). In transplantation, systemic anticoagulation is difficult due to bleeding. A novel "cytotopi…
