Rural and Urban Patients Have Equivalent Access to Successful Aneurysm Repair: Study supports a systematic regional approach to abdominal aortic aneurysm care
Contralateral Amputation Predicts Worse Outcomes for Lower Extremity Bypasses; Intact limbs with critical limb ischemia studied; bypasses show more adverse events and complications.
Online Patient Information About Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Analyzed: Investigation reviews quality and readability of Internet sites and affects on patient treatment choices.
Contralateral Carotid Occlusion Results on Carotid Interventions: Data of 2,394 patients provided by Society for Vascular Surgery Vascular Registry™
Survival of Asymptomatic Patients After Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA) Studied: Eighty-two percent survived five years; high risk factor patients may not live to see benefit of CEA
Risks of Carotid Artery Stenting Compared to Carotid Endarterectomy Studied: Risk greatest in patients treated within seven days of symptoms.
Juxtaluminal Black Area in Carotid Artery Plaques May Predict Strokes: Size of this ultrasonic feature in images of asymptomatic carotid artery plaques key in confirmed hypothesis
Results of Endovascular Training for Surgical Residents Presented: Surgical simulation emerges as an important adjunct to resident training and can improve skills.
Catheter was efficacious at two year without the need of tumescent anesthesia.
Covered stents compared to bare metal stents treat chronic atherosclerotic mesenteric arterial disease: Restenosis, recurrence, re-intervention and primary/secondary patency rates examined
Long-Term Branch Durability After Complex Aortic Aneurysm Repair Reviewed: Death resulted from branch stent complications in only two patients.
Impact of Pedal Arch Quality in Distal Bypass Grafts Explored: Study examines amputation-free survival, patency rates and healing in critical limb ischemia patients
Impact of Transfusion and Postoperative Nadir Hemoglobin Reported: Authors believe restrictive transfusion strategy justified in peripheral artery disease patients
Outcomes, Practice Patterns in Lower Extremity Bypass Patients Studied: Proportionally, more bypasses for critical limb ischemia rather than intermittent claudication
Vascular Procedures and Population Trends Predict Future Workload: New training plans will educate medical students the value of being a vascular surgeon
Women Derive Less Benefit From Elective Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: Details of long-term study compares surgery results for men and women
Newest device (cTAG) offers more flexibility and additional ranges in device diameter, with recent FDA approval for traumatic pseudoaneurysms.
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a highly prevalent comorbidity among patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease. The effect of CHF on the procedural success of endovascular treatment, however, remains unknown.
Patients have higher survival, patency and limb salvage rates.
Researchers from Southwestern Texas University's Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery and the Veterans Medical Center, both in Dallas, have reported that composite surgeon (overall) volume rather than operation-specific (annual) surgeon volume is a key determinant of in-hospital mortality for elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery (AAA). Their research was published in the December issue of the Journal of Vascular Surgery®.
