We sought to compare LigaSure Vessel Sealing System tonsillectomy (LT), Harmonic Scalpel (HST), and cold knife (CKT).We conducted a prospective study on 161 adult patients undergoing tonsillectomy. Subjects were randomized LT, HST, or CKT groups, intraoperative bleeding, operative time, postoperative pain, complication rates assessed.The groups consisted of 50, 43, 37 individuals, respectively. Intraoperative bleeding was significantly lower in the LT group, whereas HST group than that...
We investigated the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Primary Care Health Centers (n = 14) in Thessaly (central Greece) recruited 436 participants, mean age 71 (50-79) years. Peripheral was considered present if ankle-brachial index (ABI) <0.9 or >1.4 at least 1 leg. Asymptomatic PAD defined as an abnormal ABI and no symptoms history limb revascularization. The 13% (mostly asymptomatic, 11.7%). Only 5 (8.77%) 57 patients with were aware their only these physicians presence...
BACKGROUND: To assess the relation of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) diameter with proximal neck anatomy (PNA) hostility and to evaluate its impact on endovascular repair (EVAR) outcomes use newer generation endografts.METHODS: Retrospective analysis single institution’s recorded data from February 2009 April 2016. Patients’ characteristics, comorbidities, morphology, perioperative characteristics were analyzed. In AAA 2 groups identified: group A (50-55 mm) B (>55 mm). Hostile PNA was...
To report the long term outcome of hybrid (combined open and endovascular) procedures for management multisegmental chronic peripheral arterial disease.A retrospective analysis from a single center during period 2009-2013. Patency rates, survival limb salvage were primary outcomes. Univariate multivariate analyses used to assess association with various factors.A total 132 patients (116 males) mean age 69±1.4 years, treated. The technical hemodynamic success rates 94% 97.7% respectively....
The aim of this study was to assess the long-term outcome carotid disease treatment with endarterectomy or stenting (CEA CAS) in a real-world setting during 10-year period.A single center retrospective prospectively collected data including patients (symptomatic asymptomatic) being treated CEA CAS. Survival, restenosis, stroke and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were outcomes.A total 413 (mean age 69±3.5 years; 80%, 333/413 males) (83.7%, 346/413) CAS (16.3%, 67/413). Most asymptomatic...
Remote endarterectomy (RE) is a relatively minimally invasive procedure as an alternative to femoropopliteal above-knee bypass for the treatment of long-segment superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusion. The objective this study was report our experience and evaluate long-term outcome.Single-center nonrandomized retrospective with prospective collection patients' data.Twelve patients (11 men; mean age 72 years, range 55-81 years) long (>10 cm) SFA occlusion underwent RE followed by stent...
The aim of this work was to record the metabolic status brain (pH, PCO<sub>2</sub> and PO<sub>2</sub>) during carotid endarterectomy (CEA), with use an intravascular multiparameter sensor (Paratrend 7) via retrograde catheterization contralateral jugular vein. Twenty-four patients ASA grades II III scheduled for CEA were included in study. After induction anesthesia, internal vein punctured retrogradely introduced. During clamping, pH became persistently more acidotic...
