42 Ancure Endograft: AAA Repair Lawsuits: Guidant Corporation and Endovascular Technologies Endovascular Technologies Inc., a subsidiary of Guidant Corporation have been fined nearly 100 million dollars for covering up defective stents that allegedly caused 12 patient deaths. The government charges alleged the company lied to the FDA by reporting only 172 malfunctions, while the company had recorded 2,628 malfunctions, which included reports Charles of Dubost 12 deaths and 57 revision surgeries to remove the stent. The company instead claimed the problems were fixed after it was voluntarily recalled for 5 months in March According to the US attorney: "Because of the company's conduct, thousands of patients underwent surgeries without knowing the risks they faced," he termed the companies actions "criminal." Additional charges may be brought by the Justice Department against executives of the company.

64 Society for Vascular Surgery practice guidelines for atherosclerotic occlusive disease of the lower extremities: Management of asymptomatic disease and claudication Published Online: January 28, 2015; Published March, In the last decade, vascular specialists have readily adopted EVT as an attractive alternative to open bypass surgery for infrainguinal occlusive disease. PTA and stenting are the most commonly used EVTs for focal and intermediate-length stenosis.however, the development of other techniques and technologies, such as subintimal angioplasty, devices for crossing and re-entering long-segment total occlusions, stent grafts, and mechanical and laser atherectomy, have made it possible to successfully treat even advanced disease, leading some vascular specialists to advocate an endovascular-first approach for patients undergoing lower extremity revascularization. In most cases, endovascular procedures are well tolerated with minimal complications, require short hospital stays, and result in rapid recovery.

65 VASCULAR SURGERY o Remarkable maturation over the last 40 years o Dramatic benefits to patients o Significant challenges in the new world o o o Choosing wisely New methodologies with population health benefit analyses Thoughtful application of technology
