Anaconda Endovascular Limbs for the Treatment of Isolated Iliac Artery Aneurysms
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to report the feasibility and preliminary results of the treatment of isolated iliac artery aneurysms (IAAs) with Anaconda limbs (Vascutek Ltd., Inchinnan, Renfrewshire, Scotland). A prospective cohort is reported of consecutive IAAs treated by two senior surgeons from May to December 2006. One or more Anaconda limbs were used, and internal iliac arteries were embolized if necessary. Twelve IAAs in 11 patients were treated. The average IAA diameter was 4.3 +/- 1.1 cm, and the average diameter of stent used was 14 +/- 2.5 mm, with an average total length of 97 +/- 25 mm. At a mean follow-up of 12 +/- 4 months, there were no graft-related complications, graft occlusions, or requirements for reintervention. Endovascular treatment for isolated IAAs under local anesthesia using Anaconda limbs is feasible, safe, and effective. However, as with all new technology, longer follow-up data are necessary.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
