Norwegian Laparoscopic Aortic Surgery Trial
Aortobifemoral BypassAortoiliac Occlusive Disease2 morePatients with severe atherosclerotic occlusive disease can be operated on with an aortobifemoral bypass(ABFB)through a median laparotomy. Since 1993, this operation has also been performed laparoscopically. The laparoscopic ABFB operation claims to be minimally invasive as compared to the open ABFB. The cohort studies published so far have shown that although a longer operation time with the laparoscopic procedure as compared to the open surgery, the patients have a shorter hospital stay, lesser perioperative bleeding, fewer systemic complications, and earlier convalescence. However, no randomized control trial has yet been published to compare the two procedures. In the NLAST-study, which is a multicenter randomized control trial, the patients with TASC type D atherosclerotic lesions shall be randomized to either totally laparoscopic aortobifemoral bypass operation (LABFB)or an open ABFB operation.
CERAB Technique for Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease
Aortoiliac Occlusive DiseaseTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of the CERAB technique as an alternative to surgical reconstruction for treatment of aorto-iliac occlusive disease.
Effectiveness of TAP (Transversus Abdominis Plane) Block for Abdominal Aortic Surgery
Abdominal Aortic AneurysmAbdominal Aortic Stenosis2 moreThe goal of this study is to learn about the effectiveness of TAP block for pain relief after vascular surgery on the abdominal aorta. The main question the investigators are looking to answer is whether the TAP block lowers the dose of opioid required after abdominal aortic surgery.
Carbon Dioxide Versus Iodine Contrast for Endovascular Revascularization of Aortoiliac Occlusive...
Aortoiliac Occlusive DiseaseFrom July 2015 to July 2018, 64 patients with aortoiliac occlusive disease who were eligible for endovascular treatment and lacked contraindications to either iodine contrast or carbon dioxide (CO2) were randomized into the carbon dioxide CO2 group(32) or iodine contrast medium(ICM) group(32) were subjected to aortoiliac angioplasty. The primary outcome was the quality of image as the sole contrast agent used in interventions. The secondary outcomes were technical success rate and the safety of procedure.

Covered Endovascular Reconstruction of Aortic Bifurcation (CERAB) for Extensive Aortoiliac Occlusive...
Aorto-Iliac AtherosclerosisAortoiliac ObstructionEndovascular treatment is rapidly taking over surgery for aorto-iliac occlusive disease (AOID), also in extensive pathology. This is related to its minimally invasiveness, decreasing the procedural morbidity rate. When the aortic bifurcation was involved in the lesion, the patency rates of kissing stents configurations were often inferior to open repair. In 2013 the Covered Endovascular Reconstruction of the Aortic Bifurcation (CERAB) technique was introduced in an attempt to improve endovascular treatment results by a more anatomical and physiological reconstruction, with a subsequent improved clinical outcome. This investigator-initiated multicenter trial will prospectively record all data on performed CERAB procedures using the Bentley balloon expandable covered stents (BeGraft Aortic and BeGraft Peripheral) in multiple International sites, in order to gain more robust real-world data on the efficacy of these stent grafts for this indication. Consecutive patients in whom a CERAB will be performed with these particular covered stents in the participating centers. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary end-point of this study is technical success. Patency rates, peri-procedural morbidity, clinical improvement, quality of life, clinically-driven target vessel revascularization and reintervention-rate will be secondary outcome measures. Overall, patients will be followed for 5 years
Laparoscopic Surgical Treatment of Aorto-iliac Occlusive Disease
Aorto Iliac Occlusive DiseasePatients with aorto-iliac occlusive disease (TASC, type D) operated with a totally laparoscopic aortobifemoral bypass operation and open aortobifemoral bypass operation will be followed up and the results will be compared between the two procedures on the basis of the primary endpoint, a composite endpoint defined as a combined incidence of systemic morbidity, graft thrombosis and all-cause mortality.
