Multicenter StudyLaparoscopic surgery for coeliac artery compression syndrome: current management and technical aspects.
The study aims to assess the feasibility and midterm outcome of trans-peritoneal laparoscopy for coeliac artery compression syndrome (CACS). ⋯ Our study demonstrates that trans-peritoneal laparoscopy for treating median arcuate ligament syndrome is safe and feasible. Additional patients and a longer follow-up are needed for long-term assessment of this laparoscopic technique.

Preoperative spirometry results as a determinant for long-term mortality after EVAR for AAA.
The aim of this study was to analyse lung function test determinants for long-term mortality after standard endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). ⋯ Our findings strengthen the need for formal evaluation of lung function with spirometry prior to proceeding to AAA repair.
