Abstract
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease in which macrophages play a crucial role. Macrophages are present in different phenotypes, with at the extremes of the spectrum the classical M1 pro-inflammatory and the alternative M2 anti-inflammatory macrophages. The neuron-derived orphan receptor 1 (NOR1), together with Nur77 and Nurr1, are members of the NR4A orphan nuclear receptor family, expressed in human atherosclerotic lesion macrophages. However, the role of NOR1 in human macrophages has not been studied yet. OBJECTIVES To determine the expression and the functions of NOR1 in human alternative macrophages. METHODS AND RESULTS In vitro IL-4 polarization of primary monocytes into alternative M2 macrophages enhances NOR1 expression in human but not in mouse macrophages. Moreover, NOR1 expression is most abundant in CD68+MR+ alternative macrophage-enriched areas of human atherosclerotic plaques in vivo. Silencing NOR1 in human alternative macrophages decreases the expression of several M2 markers such as the Mannose Receptor (MR), Interleukin-1 Receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), CD200 Receptor (CD200R), coagulation factor XIII A1 polypeptide (F13A1), Interleukin 10 (IL-10) and the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR)γ. Bioinformatical analysis identified F13A1, IL-1Ra, IL-10 and the Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) as potential target genes of NOR1 in human alternative macrophages. Moreover, expression and enzymatic activity of MMP9 are induced by silencing and repressed by NOR1 overexpression in M2 macrophages. CONCLUSIONS These data identify NOR1 as a transcription factor induced during alternative differentiation of human macrophages and demonstrate that NOR1 modifies the alternative macrophage phenotype.

Abstract
The repair of aneurysms involving the aortic arch is technically and physiologically demanding. Historically, these aneurysms have been treated using open surgical techniques that require cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Many patients have been deemed "untreatable" and among those selected for surgery there are reported risks of death in 2% to 16.5% and stroke rates ranging from 2% to 18%. "Hybrid arch repair" combines one of a number of open surgical procedures (to secure a proximal landing zone for an endograft) with subsequent or immediate placement of an endograft in the arch and descending aorta. Although this concept is described as "minimally invasive" because it avoids aortic cross-clamping and hypothermic circulatory arrest, the morbidity and mortality rates remain considerable (mortality 0% to 15%, stroke 0% to 11%). Ongoing development of endograft technology has enabled total endovascular repair of complex aortic aneurysms involving the visceral segment, using fenestrated and branched endografts. Encouraging early results in this anatomy have inspired extension of the concept to include the aortic arch and great vessels. These strategies can be considered in patients generally at high-risk for the conventional procedures. However, the endeavour is at an early stage of its development and the arch poses unique challenges including the potential for stroke, angulation of the arch and the great vessel ostia to the arch, extremely high volume flow, three-dimensional pulsation and rotation with the cardiac cycle and the proximity of the aortic valve and coronary arteries.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Mutations in C6ORF105, associated with decreased gene expression, positively correlate with the risk of CAD in Chinese populations. Moreover, the C6ORF105-encoded protein may play a role in coagulation. Here, we report that C6ORF105 gene expression is lower in circulating mononuclear cells from obese diabetic than lean subjects. Moreover, C6ORF105 is expressed in human macrophages and atherosclerotic lesions, where its expression positively correlates with expression of the transcription factor Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR)γ. Activation of PPARγ increases, in a PPARγ-dependent manner, the expression of C6ORF105 in human macrophages and atherosclerotic lesions.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to compare the results of complex aneurysm (hostile neck anatomies) repair in high-risk patients with two minimally invasive techniques, fenestrated endografting (f-EVAR where EVAR stands for endovascular aneurysm repair) and minilaparotomy. METHODS All high-risk patients (N.=50, group 1) with hostile neck abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) operated in the vascular surgery department of the "Policlinico Universitario G. Martino" of Messina (Italy) during a 5-year period (January 2006-December 2010) were cross-matched with 50 similar patients (group 2) treated in the Vascular Surgery Department of the "Hopital Cardiologique" University of Lille (France) with similar anatomies, comorbidities and risk factors. The patients in group 1 underwent open minilaparotomy surgery, and the patients in group 2 were treated with f-EVAR. The aim of our study was to compare perioperative complications, survival and reintervention rates. RESULTS Perioperative cardiac complications occurred in 5 patients (10%) in group 1, and 1 patient (2%) in group 2 (P<0.092). Renal impairment not requiring permanent hemodialysis was significantly higher in group 1 (14% vs. 2% P<0.027), as well as respiratory complications (32% vs. 2% P<0.0001). Five patients (10%) in group 1 underwent reintervention vs. 4 patients in group 2 (P<0.7268). There was no statistically significant difference for survival rates at 30 days (92% in group 1 and 96% in group 2; P=0.399); at six months (90% vs. 96%; P=0.239); at one year (90% vs. 96%; P=0.239); and at two years (84% vs. 94%; P=0.110). However, we observed statistically significant differences in survival rates at three years (74% vs. 94%; P<0.006); at four years (70% vs. 86%; P<0.005); and at five years (65% vs. 68%; P<0.003). CONCLUSION Our results showed that both techniques are effective in the treatment of AAA with hostile neck in high-risk patients. Although operative mortality rate was not statistically different, f-EVAR showed better results in terms of early complications and late survival.

Abstract
The treatment of chronic aortic dissection is a major challenge for the vascular surgeon. Close imaging follow-up after the acute episode frequently identifies dilation of untreated aortic segments. Aortic dissection often extends to both the supra-aortic trunks and to the visceral aorta. The poor medical condition that often characterizes these patients may preclude extensive open surgical repair. Recent advances in endovascular techniques provide a valid alternative to open surgery. These complex lesions can now be managed using thoracic branched and fenestrated endografts. However, clinical data are scarce and only 3 small series from 3 high-volume aortic centers are currently available. Careful anatomical study on 3D workstations is mandatory to select patients that are candidates for complex endovascular exclusion; a specific focus on the available working space within the true lumen, extension to the arch and/or the visceral/renal arteries, and false lumen perfusion of visceral vessels is required. An excellent understanding of those anatomic details demands high-quality preoperative CTA. Intraoperative advanced imaging applications are a major adjunct in the achievement of technical success.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The endovascular treatment of thoraco abdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) is a minimally invasive solution. However, patient selection remains a major problem. We have analysed our experience to identify the risk factors for post-operative morbidity and mortality and to construct a scoring system to identify those patients likely to benefit from this treatment. METHODS We have analysed a consecutive cohort of patients treated electively for TAAA using endovascular techniques between 2006 and October 2012. All data were collected prospectively. The risk factors associated with spinal cord ischemia (SCI), the need for post-operative dialysis and 30 day mortality were determined using multivariate statistical techniques and a logistic regression model including all variables that were significant on univariate analysis (p < 0.05). A predictive score was calculated using a Received Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, defining best specificity and sensibility. RESULTS We analysed the data from 123 patients (median age 70 years). The 30 day mortality rate was 8% (10 patients). The SCI rate was 6% (7 patients). One patient (1%) required long-term dialysis after the aortic procedure. The cumulative early mortality, SCI and permanent dialysis rate was 14% (17 patients). In multivariate analysis, adverse outcome was associated with advanced age (OR = 1.110 ; p = 0.022), and Crawford type I or II or III (OR = 9.292 ; p = 0.002) as compared with Crawford type IV. Pre-operative beta blocker (BB) treatment was a protective factor (OR = 0.099 ; p = 0.005). A predictive score was then constructed : Score = -10.060 + 0.104x(A) +2.229x(B) -2.315x(C) (A = patient age ; B = 1 if TAAA Crawford type 1, 2 or 3, 0 if TAAA type 4 ; C = 1 if on-going BB treatment (30 days pre-surgery minimum), 0 if none). Its sensitivity and specificity were 88% and 89% respectively. CONCLUSIONS We propose a simple predictive scoring system. This tool is useful in predicting the most feared complications after endovascular TAAA repair and has potential use in the identification and counselling of vulnerable patients being considered for surgery. More data are needed to refine the prediction of individual operative risks.

Abstract
There is a large variability observed in the literature regarding radiation exposure and contrast volume injection during endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). Reducing both in order to decrease their respective toxicities must be a priority for the endovascular therapist. Radiation dose reduction requires a strict application of the "as low as reasonably achievable" principles. Firstly, all X-ray system settings should be defaulted to low dose, and fluoroscopic time reduced as much as possible. Digital subtraction angiography runs should be replaced by recorded fluoroscopy runs when possible. Magnification should be avoided, whereas collimation should be systematic to minimize scatter radiation and focus only on the area of interest. Advanced imaging modes can also contribute to dose reduction. For instance, image fusion can facilitate endovascular navigation, and allow table and C-arm positioning without fluoroscopy. In our experience, routine use of image fusion during EVAR significantly reduces both radiation exposure and contrast volumes during complex EVAR. To make these imaging modes useable in real life settings, the X-ray system should be fully controlled by the operator from table side. Reducing iodinated contrast volume, while maintaining image quality, can also be achieved through the use of automated contrast injectors. Additionally, alternative contrast agents, like carbon dioxide (CO2) and gadolinium, have also been evaluated and can be used in specific cases. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound and intravascular ultrasonography are currently developed as potential alternatives to both iodinated contrast use and X-ray during EVAR. Lastly, specific education and training of operators in radiation protection are essential.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the results of hybrid techniques for the treatment of thoracic, thoracoabdominal, and abdominal aortic aneurysms based on multicenter results and the various series regarding hybrid procedures reported in the literature. METHODS The results of 76 hybrid procedures performed in 19 French university hospital centers between November 2001 and October 2011 were collected. There were 50 men and 26 women, mean age 68.2 (35-86) years. All patients were considered at high risk (ASA≥3) for conventional surgery. Aneurysms involved the thoracic, abdominal, and thoracoabdominal aorta in five, 14, and 57 cases respectively. There were 11 emergent repairs. The revascularization of four visceral arteries was performed in 38 cases. Between one and three visceral arteries were revascularized in the other cases. Visceral artery debranching and stent graft deployment were performed in a one-stage procedure in 53 cases and in a two-stage procedure in 23 cases. RESULTS There were 26 (34.2%) postoperative deaths. Nine of the survivors developed paraplegia, of which one resolved completely. Bowel ischemia occurred in 13 cases (17.1%), and one patient was treated by a superior mesenteric artery bypass. Four patients required long-term hemodialysis. Postoperative computed tomography scan showed a type II endoleak in two patients. CONCLUSIONS Morbidity and mortality in this study were greater than previously reported. Candidates for hybrid aortic repair should be carefully selected.
