To establish a trauma preventable/potentially preventable death rate (PPPDR) within a heavily populated county in Texas. ⋯ The trauma PPPDR was almost double that estimated by the National Academies of Sciences. Data regarding P/PP deaths offers opportunity to target research, prevention, intervention, and treatment corresponding to all phases of the trauma system.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Endovascular Aneurysm Repair With Inferior Mesenteric Artery Embolization for Preventing Type II Endoleak: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) embolization during endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in patients at high risk of type II endoleak (T2EL) in randomized controlled trial (RCT). ⋯ Our results demonstrated the effectiveness of IMA embolization during EVAR in high-risk patients for the prevention of T2EL, which is suggested for avoiding aneurysmal sac enlargement related to T2EL.

Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Outcomes After Minimally-invasive Versus Open Pancreatoduodenectomy: A Pan-European Propensity Score Matched Study.
To assess short-term outcomes after minimally invasive (laparoscopic, robot-assisted, and hybrid) pancreatoduodenectomy (MIPD) versus open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD) among European centers. ⋯ In the early experience of 14 European centers performing ≥10 MIPDs annually, no differences were found in major morbidity, mortality, and hospital stay between MIPD and OPD. The high rates of POPF and conversion, and the lack of superior outcomes (ie, hospital stay, morbidity) could indicate that more experience and higher annual MIPD volumes are needed.
