Part of the Generación del 30 and the Grupo de Guayaquil as an author, Pareja was also a university professor, Superintendent of Secondary Education, member of Ecuador's National Assembly, head of mission in the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, ambassador of Ecuador in France and to UNESCO, and Ecuador's Minister of Foreign Relations from 1979 to 1980. He wrote a number of novels and historical texts, including El Muelle (1933), Hombres sin tiempo (1941), La Manticora (1974) and Historia del Ecuador (1954). Among numerous honors, Pareja was awarded the Medalla Premio Nacional de Cultura Eugenio Espejo and the Gran Cruz de la Orden al Mérito del Ecuador, and Spain's Gran Cruz de Isabel la Católica. His manuscript collection includes digitized manuscripts of "El Muelle" (1932), "Las Pequeñas estaturas" (1966), and "Los Poderes omnimodos" (c.1964).Digitized manuscripts of works by Ecuadorian author and historian Alfredo Pareja y Díez Canseco include "El Muelle" (1932), "Las Pequeñas estaturas" (1966), and "Los Poderes omnimodos" (c.1964).UT Librarie

No full textHypogastric artery coverage during endovascular aneurysm repair in octogenarian and younger patients
No full textAim
To report our experience about hypogastric artery coverage during endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for aortoiliac aneurysms in patients younger than 80 years (group A) compared with octogenarian patients (group B).
Methods
Data of consecutive EVAR with hypogastric artery coverage from 01/1998 to 12/2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Primary outcomes were the occurrence of ischemic colitis, type II endoleak and buttock claudication both at 30 days and in the long term. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results
The hypogastric artery was covered in 107 patients. Twenty-three (21.5%) were octogenarian (group B). At 30 days, one type II endoleak occurred in group B, whereas 16 patients of group A experienced buttock claudication. There were no cases of ischemic colitis. During follow-up (median 63.5 months), no cases of ischemic colitis occurred. Six new type II endoleaks were recorded (five in group B and one in group A, P U 0.0001). Buttock claudication persisted in four patients of group A. No new cases of buttock claudication were observed.
Conclusion
Unilateral hypogastric artery coverage
during EVAR for aortoiliac aneurysms can be performed
with an acceptable rate of postoperative complication.
Postoperative buttock claudication was more frequent in
younger patients, whereas a type II endoleak occurred
mostly in octogenarian patients during follow-up

Sizes of endografts for endovascular aortic repair : do few fit most?
No full textAIM: The endoprostheses for the endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), are currently available in many sizes in reference to the aortic diameters of the proximal neck, but often not all of them are really used. Aim of our work was to review in our experience the most frequent proximal aortic diameters of main bodies that were used, among all those available for EVAR, with respect to the native proximal aortic neck. METHODS: All the sizes of main bodies of the different endografts used for EVAR from 2000 to 2016 were retrospectively counted. For each endograft, we calculated the number of times each size of main bodies’ proximal diameter was used. The mean diameter of the proximal aortic neck was also calculated for each group of main bodies. RESULTS: From 2000 to 2016, 607 patients underwent EVAR for infrarenal AAA. Overall, mean diameter of the proximal aortic neck was 23.4 ± 0.5 mm (median 23.1 mm, IQR 22.2–23.7 mm). The most frequently used main bodies had a 28 mm, 26 mm and 25 mm proximal diameter (161/607, 26.5%; 147/607, 24.2%; 122/607, 20.1% respectively), for a mean proximal neck diameter of 23.2 ± 0.5 mm, 22.2 ± 0.4 mm and 22.1 ± 0.2 respectively. The least frequently used main bodies had a 21 mm and a 36 mm proximal diameter (3/607 times each, 0.5%), for a mean proximal neck diameter of 18.1 ± 0.2 mm and 32.4 ± 0.8 mm respectively. CONCLUSIONS: In our experience, the most frequently used main bodies had a 25, 26 and 28 mm proximal diameters
