Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, "Current and Emerging Treatment Options for Aortic Aneurysms," aims to highlight the latest advances and ongoing challenges in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of aortic aneurysms and related cardiovascular pathologies. As treatment paradigms evolve, the field faces critical questions surrounding patient selection, risk stratification, long-term outcomes, and the integration of novel technologies. While endovascular and surgical strategies remain central, emerging approaches—such as artificial intelligence in vascular diagnostics, personalized medicine, and hybrid techniques—are shaping the future of care. We welcome contributions addressing thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms, aortic root diseases, ventricular aneurysms, and aortic dissections, as well as manuscripts exploring intersections with cardiac surgery, cardiology, and biomedical engineering. The scope of this Special Issue is intentionally broad to encourage interdisciplinary dialog and mobilize experts across fields, including vascular surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, radiology, and computational medicine. By bringing together cutting-edge research and expert perspectives, this issue seeks to inform clinical practice and catalyze innovation in the management of complex aortic and related cardiovascular conditions.

Abstract
Background: Common femoral artery aneurysms are rare and are usually associated with aneurysms at other sites, mainly the aorta, iliac, popliteal, superficial femoral, and profunda femoral artery. This combination poses the challenge of synchronous repair for clinically relevant aneurysms. Although endovascular abdominal aortic [...] Read more.
Background: Common femoral artery aneurysms are rare and are usually associated with aneurysms at other sites, mainly the aorta, iliac, popliteal, superficial femoral, and profunda femoral artery. This combination poses the challenge of synchronous repair for clinically relevant aneurysms. Although endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair is the main type of treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysms nowadays, this is not true for common femoral aneurysms, where open repair remains the gold standard. These two distinct operations could be combined in a one-stage procedure when aortoiliac and common femoral aneurysms present simultaneously. This approach potentially saves time and costs, without increasing complications. Methods: A retrospective search was conducted in the Vascular Surgery Department database of a tertiary referral center for vascular surgery, covering procedures from January 2005 to May 2025. Patients were included if they had undergone simultaneous endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and open repair of a common femoral artery aneurysm. Clinical records, operative details, imaging studies, and follow-up data were reviewed. We additionally provide a literature review regarding this approach. This review additionally incorporates the current knowledge regarding the treatment of common femoral artery aneurysms. Results: Out of 668 endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair procedures, three patients (0.45%) were identified. These three patients were among five patients who were treated for true common femoral artery aneurysm by open repair in the same time interval. All of the patients are currently in good condition without late complications. One patient, who had not performed any follow-up imaging, was diagnosed with large aneurysms at other sites, 10 years later. Conclusions: The combined one-stage endovascular abdominal aortic repair and open repair of a common femoral artery aneurysm by interposition grafting is technically a simple approach that led to satisfactory outcomes.
