Objective:To analyze the risk factors and prognosis of endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm.Methods:The clinical data of patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms treated by endovascular repair at the Department of Vascular Surgery,the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from Jun 2012 to Nov 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:During the first follow-up CTA after surgery,136 out of 299 patients had endoleak.A total of 186 patients had at least one CTA reexamination after discharge. Statistical analysis showed that excessive neck angulation was an independent risk factor for type Ⅰa endoleak ( t=-6.108, P<0.001), wider common iliac artery diameter (left Z=-2.787, P=0.005, Right Z=-2.381, P=0.017) and iliac aneurysm ( χ2=6.398, P=0.011) were risk factors for type Ⅰb endoleak. The survival time of patients in endoleak group was similar to no endoleak group. Conclusions:Excessive neck angulation is an independent risk factor for type Ⅰa endoleak. Most leaks resolve spontaneously ,the prognosis is fair.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies and a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Surgery remains the primary and most successful therapy option for the treatment of early- and mid-stage HCCs, but the high heterogeneity of HCC renders prognostic prediction challenging. The construction of relevant prognostic models helps to stratify the prognosis of surgically treated patients and guide personalized clinical decision-making, thereby improving patient survival rates. Currently, the prognostic assessment of HCC is based on several commonly used staging systems, such as Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM), Cancer of the Liver Italian Program (CLIP), and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC). Given the insufficiency of these staging systems and the aim to improve the accuracy of prognostic prediction, researchers have incorporated further prognostic factors, such as microvascular infiltration, and proposed some new prognostic models for HCC. To provide insights into the prospects of clinical oncology research, this review describes the commonly used HCC staging systems and new models proposed in recent years.
