However, despite the level of safety, effectiveness and versatility these devices reached, failures still exist. METHODS: Material surveillance through a dedicated explant analysis program is the cornerstone towards improving knowledge about vascular grafts and endografts behavior in humans. Major lessons learned from explant analysis have already been published few years ago, but this review provides an update by summarizing the recent findings of a dedicated explant analysis program over the past five years. Recent findings include vascular grafts degradation, devices calcifications, mechanisms of endografts failure. Two mechanisms of vascular grafts degradation have been reported: a decrease in the density of the meshing and local ruptures of the polyethylene terephthalate fibers. The degradation occurred preferentially in some grafts zones where the textile was weakened during manufacturing process. Calcification of vascular grafts and endografts have also been reported, and may contribute to device failure, as calcification reduces compliance, increases stiffness and generated a compliance mismatch. Concerning mechanisms of endografts failure, it has been shown that the polymer used in the endobags of the Nellix EndoVascular Aneurysm Sealing (EVAS) System could lose weight and volume upon dehydration. Accordingly, the polymer deteriorated and failed to retain its weight, volume and shape, undergoing fragmentation, explaining the high rate of migration observed with this device. Endoleaks have also been investigated and endograft fabric damages responsible for endoleaks have been demonstrated. This review highlights that despite continuous improvement of vascular and endovascular devices, failure still exists. Accordingly, continuous material surveillance is mandatory in order to provide the latest information on the mechanisms responsible for degradation and implement knowledge concerning the biological and mechanical behavior of grafts and endografts.</p>","PeriodicalId":13709,"journal":{"name":"International Angiology","volume":" ","pages":"143-148"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145503755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This manuscript is Part II of a systematic literature review and meta-analysis assessing the effects of micronized purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF) on lower limb symptoms and signs in patients with CVD at all stages of the disease. Part I examined symptoms and Part II presented herein focused on signs.</p><p><strong>Evidence acquisition: </strong>A systematic literature review was conducted in November 2023 to identify studies investigating the efficacy of MPFF oral treatment (1000 mg daily for at least 1 month) on venous symptoms and signs in patients with CVD at all stages (C0s-C6). Databases searched included Medline, Embase, and Cochrane. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs (non-randomized comparative, single-arm, and observational studies) evaluating venous signs: edema, redness, ulcer healing and disease severity assessed by venous clinical severity score (VCSS). A single-group random-effects meta-analysis was used to estimate the mean change in sign intensity and the proportion of sign improvement or complete resolution from baseline to the final assessment.</p><p><strong>Evidence synthesis: </strong>Out of 387 identified articles, 56 studies were included in the analysis, among which 33 reported CVD signs in 24,617 MPFF-treated patients. Included participants were mainly females (84.1%) with a mean age (±SD) of 48.6 (±8.8) years, and overweight with a mean BMI of 26.3 (±4.5) kg/m<sup>2</sup>. Significant reductions were observed in mean [95% confidence interval] ankle and calf circumferences (-7.6 mm [-9.1 to -6.2] and -8.0 mm [-11.2 to -4.8], respectively, P<0.001). Venous ulcers were healed in 48.9% [30.3% to 67.8%] or regressed in 73.4% [63.3% to 82.3%] of the patients (P<0.001). Significant improvements were also shown in redness and VCSS score (P<0.001). Twelve studies had a high risk of bias, while sensitivity analyses did not change the study results. Heterogeneity level was frequently high among studies.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This comprehensive meta-analysis provides additional evidence supporting the effectiveness of MPFF in improving clinical signs of CVD across all stages of the disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":13709,"journal":{"name":"International Angiology","volume":" ","pages":"469-485"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145707954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
