Wound antisepsis has undergone a renaissance due to the introduction of highly effective wound-compatible antimicrobial agents and spread multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). However, strict indication must be set for application these agents. An infected or critically colonized wound treated antiseptically. In addition, systemic antibiotic therapy is required in case infection spreads. If applied preventively, Wounds-at-Risk Score allows an assessment risk thus appropriateness indication....
Background— Mycotic aortic aneurysm (MAA) is a rare and life-threatening disease. The aim of this European multicenter collaboration was to study the durability endovascular repair (EVAR) MAA, by assessing late infection–related complications long-term survival. Methods Results— All EVAR treated MAAs, between 1999 2013 at 16 centers, were retrospectively reviewed. One hundred twenty-three patients with 130 MAAs identified. Mean age 69 years (range 39–86), 87 (71%) men, 58 (47%) had...
ABSTRACT Wound Bed Preparation is a paradigm to optimize chronic wound treatment. This holistic approach examines the treatment of cause and patient-centered concerns determine if healable, maintenance wound, or nonhealable (palliative). For healable wounds (with adequate blood supply that can be corrected), moisture balance indicated along with active debridement control local infection abnormal inflammation. In wounds, emphasis changes patient comfort, relieving pain, controlling odor,...
Case and single center reports have documented the feasibility suggested effectiveness of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (RAAAs), but role value such treatment remain controversial.To clarify these we examined a collected experience with use EVAR for RAAA from 49 centers.Data were obtained by questionnaires centers, updated 13 centers committed to whenever possible included details information on 1037 patients treated 763 open (OR).Overall 30-day...
In Brief Objective: To evaluate a single center's 10-year experience with emergency endovascular aneurysm repair (eEVAR) in 102 patients ruptured abdominal aortoiliac aneurysms (RAAA). Methods: Data from (mean age, 73 ± 9 years) RAAA treated by eEVAR January 1998 to April 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. From 2000, all according an intention-to-treat protocol. The only exclusion criterion was unsuitable anatomy. 31/102 had moderate shock and 14/102 severe systolic blood pressure <70 mm Hg...
<h3>Objectives</h3> To better define the diagnosis and treatment of Martorell hypertensive ischemic leg ulcer (HYTILU) to compare HYTILU with calciphylaxis (calcific uremic arteriolopathy) nonuremic forms calciphylaxis. <h3>Design</h3> Retrospective study from 1999 through 2007. <h3>Setting</h3> Department Dermatology, University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland. <h3>Participants</h3> Of 330 patients ulcers, 31 had a clinical confirmed by dermatopathologic examination. <h3>Main Outcome...
In Brief Objective: To present the combined 14-year experience of 2 university centers performing endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) on 100% noninfected ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (RAAA) over last 32 months. Background: Endovascular for RAAA feasibility is reported to be 20% 50%, and EVAR has been have better outcomes than open repair. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed prospectively gathered data 473 consecutive patients (Zurich, 295; Örebro, 178) from January 1, 1998, December...
To evaluate the performance of periscope and/or chimney grafts (CPGs) in endovascular treatment pararenal or thoracoabdominal aneurysms using off-the-shelf devices.Between February 2002 and August 2012, 77 consecutive patients (62 men; mean age 73±9 years) suffering from aortic (n=55), (n=16), arch to visceral artery (n=6) were treated with stent-graft implantation requiring maintain side branch perfusion. CPGs planned advance not used as bailout. A standardized follow-up protocol including...
To report midterm outcomes after urgent endovascular repair of ruptured pararenal or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms using multiple periscope and chimney grafts to preserve renovisceral branch perfusion facilitate aneurysm exclusion.Nine consecutive men (mean age 72±14 years, range 40-88) presenting with (n = 6), 2), infrarenal 1) underwent at least 1 graft delivered via a transfemoral access; were installed from an axillary access. In all, 17 7 used reperfuse 11 renal 13 visceral arteries...
Appropriate and effective wound cleaning represents an important process that is necessary for preparing the improved healing helping to dislodge biofilms. Wound of paramount importance bed preparation enhance healing. Surfactant applications in care may represent area continuum. However, understanding role significance surfactants cleansing, biofilm prevention control, enhancing cellular viability proliferation currently lacking. Despite this, some recent evidence on poloxamer‐based where...
This article describes a new, less invasive prosthetic graft anastomotic technique that uses self-expanding stent grafts are “telescoped” into aortic branches. method, the VORTEC (Viabahn Open Revascularization TEChnique), obviates need for potentially difficult complete vessel exposure and anastomoses, thereby reducing duration of flow interruption simplifying performance complex reconstructions so-called debranching procedures requiring reconstruction major branches such as renal arteries....
Purpose:To present a technique for renal and visceral revascularization allowing complete endovascular treatment of ruptured type IV thoracoabdominal aneurysm using devices already stocked in most centers performing repair.Technique: Open arterial access is obtained to both common femoral arteries the left subclavian artery (LSA). Access through separate 8-F sheaths each branch. Both (celiac trunk superior mesenteric artery) are accessed 2 placed into LSA, artery. Corresponding covered...
