Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the anatomy of the aortoiliac vessels in patients scheduled for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair in four different countries. Material and methods: Consecutives series of 100 preoperative CT-scans were evaluated at each center. Diameters of the suprarenal aorta, maximal diameter of the aneurysm, right and left common and external iliac artery as well as the hypogastric arteries were recorded and compared between each center. Results: Configuration of the AAA above bifurcation was similar at each center. The dimensions of the aortic bifurcation and the common iliac arteries were different among the centers. Common iliac arteries with diameters over 25mm were significantly more common at center 1 (p < 0.001, p = 0.002 and p < 0.001). Among centers 2,3 and 4 there was no significant difference in common iliac diameters. Conclusions: Configuration of the iliac arteries in AAA was significantly different for Swiss patients compared to American, Austrian and German patients. Reasons for these differences are unclear, epidemiological or genetic factors may be responsible.

While abdominal aortic aneurysms are quite common, visceral aneurysms are a seldomly diagnosed vascular pathology. Aneurysms of renal arteries, abdominal aorta and iliac arteries seem to be very rare. We present a patient after renal transplantation with aneurysms of both stumps of the renal arteries, abdominal aortic aneurysm and aneurysms of common iliac arteries. Because of the symptomatic course, the patient required urgent treatment. A successful endovascular procedure was performed. Follow-up imaging did not reveal any complications.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background- Patients with small Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms are managed with surveillance as there is currently insufficient evidence to recommend surgical aneurysm repair. Hence, there is a dire need and interest in pharmacotherapy like tetracycline antibiotics to reduce the need for aneurysm repair. Purpose- To determine the efficacy and safety of doxycycline in the management of small abdominal aortic aneurysms. Methods- Electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane) were searched until 25th November 2020.The primary outcomes were the mean difference (MD) in aneurysm diameter and the odds ratio (OR) calculated to compare the number of individuals referred to Abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in each group. Results- A total of three studies with 572 participants (Doxycycline = 290; Placebo = 282 ) were included in our analysis. Average follow up was a period of 18 months. For AAA expansion, the combined results demonstrated a statistically significant mean difference in expansion rates favoring the placebo groups over the intervention (WMD-0.75, 95%CI 0.12-1.38; p = 0.02;I2 = 0%) There was no statistically significant difference in the efficacy and safety of doxycycline as opposed to placebo groups for referral to AAA surgery (OR 1.01, 95%CI 0.61-1.69; p = 0.96, I2 = 0%) and all-cause mortality(OR 0.51; 95%CI 0.18-1.43; p = 0.20, I2 =0%) Conclusion- Amongst patients with small abdominal aortic aneurysms, doxycycline did not significantly reduce aneurysm growth.
