Background: Endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a commonly used treatment for abdominal aneurysms (AAAs), but anatomical complexities limit its application in certain cases. Objective: This study evaluates the mid-term outcomes, referring to follow-up period with mean of 29.9 ± 24.1 months (approximately 1–5 years), novel double-barrel technique that employs overlapping tubular stent grafts address these challenges. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on seven patients...
The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence and clinical characteristic metabolic syndrome adults, over 40 years old, living in Korea.This carried out for 2 years, 2003-2004, on total 5,330 individuals (2,197 men 3,133 women) selected by stratified random cluster sampling among adults old. Metabolic defined based both NCEP-ATP III criteria Modified ATP applying WHO-APR (Asian Pacific Region)'s abdominal obesity (waist circumference > 90 cm men, 80 instead criteria.Using criteria,...
Recently non-Vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) is replacing warfarin for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). However, role NOAC after thrombolysis acute iliofeomral DVT (IFDVT) not yet defined. This randomized clinical trial aimed to compare safety and efficacy rivaroxaban versus catheter directed an IFDVT. Patients with both iliac femoral (n = 72) were recruited either standard anticoagulation (enoxaparin warfarin, n 35) or 37) successful mechanical thrombectomy....
To report the mid-term results of a single-center randomized controlled trial comparing drug-coated balloon angioplasty (DBA) and plain (PBA) for treatment dysfunctional radiocephalic arteriovenous fistulas (RCAVFs).In this prospective study, 39 patients (mean age, 62.2 years; 21 males, 18 females) with RCAVFs failing due to juxta-anastomotic stenosis were randomly assigned undergo either both DBA PBA (n = 20, group) or alone 19, between June 2016 2018. Primary endpoints technical clinical...
Abdominal wall endometriosis in a Caesarean section scar (AEC) is an infrequent type of extrapelvic which rarely transforms into malignant lesion. A painful mass located the typical sign AEC. This condition diagnosed preoperatively using imaging modalities such as computed tomography and ultrasonography, well fine-needle aspiration. Although AEC has signs, general surgeons often misdiagnose it due to its rarity. Herein, we report our experience single institution.
Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation is a hallmark of neointimal hyperplasia (NIH) in atherosclerosis and restenosis post-balloon angioplasty stent insertion. Although numerous cytotoxic cytostatic therapeutics have been developed to reduce NIH, it improbable that multifactorial disease can be successfully treated by focusing on preconceived hypothesis. We, therefore, aimed identify key molecules involved NIH via hypothesis-free approach. We analyzed four datasets (GSE28829,...
Objectives To evaluate the outcomes of hybrid endovascular repair for aortic arch pathology. Methods This study was a retrospective analysis involving patients who underwent pathologies. Results Twenty‐one (16 men; mean age, 64.7 ± 16.2 years) with pathologies were treated by repair. The indications treatment included increased aneurysm size in 16 cases (71.4%), rupture or impending aneurysmal 5 (23.8%), and rapid growth dissection (≥10 mm/y) 1 case (4.8%). Supra‐aortic vessel transposition...
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), when ruptured, results in high mortality. The identification of molecular pathways involved AAA progression is required to improve prognosis. aim the present study was assess key genes for and their functional role. Genomic clinical data three independent cohorts were downloaded from National Center Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) (GSE57691, GSE7084, GSE98278). To develop diagnosis progression-related differentially expressed...
Intensive care unit (ICU) bed availability is key to critical patient care. In many countries, older patients generally account for a significant proportion of hospitalizations and ICU admissions. Therefore, considering the rapidly increasing aging population in South Korea, it important establish whether demand currently met by available beds.We evaluated 9-year trend supply length stay Korea between 2011 2019 population-based cross-sectional analysis, using data from Korean Health...
We describe our experience with combined open and endovascular repair in patients who have aortic arch pathology.This study is a retrospective analysis of 7 underwent for pathology. Medical records radiographic information were reviewed.A total consecutive (5 men, 71.4%) thoracic stent graft implantation. The mean age was 59.9±16.7 years. indication aneurysmal degeneration 5 patients, rupture or impending 2 patients. In all cases, supra-aortic transposition the great vessels performed...
Adventitial cystic disease (ACD) is an uncommon condition that accounts for only 0.1% of all vascular (1), and it mainly affects young men with intermittent claudication. It most commonly seen in the popliteal artery, but has also been reported external iliac, femoral, ulnar radial arteries. Very few reports this have described venous system such as common femoral vein, wrist area veins, lesser saphenous vein iliac (2). Surgery known to be a standard therapy disease. Also there about less...
Traumatic dissection of the celiac artery without aortic is a rare event. Here we describe two cases after blunt abdominal trauma managed conservatively surgical or endovascular intervention. Keywords: Celiac artery; Vascular system injuries; Abdominal injuries
A recent meta-analysis addressed increased risk of death following revascularization with paclitaxel-coated devices in femopopliteal artery. We evaluated differences all-cause mortality and amputation free survival between peripheral arterial disease (PAD) patients who were treated non-paclitaxel-coated devices. This was retrospective population-based cohort study from the National Health Insurance Service claims South Korea 2015 to 2019. Multivariate Cox regression analyses after propensity...
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a safe alternative to open surgical for an abdominal aortic aneurysm.However, unfavorable anatomy of the has restricted widespread use EVAR.Anatomic limitation most often related characteristics proximal neck anatomy.In this report, we described patient with severely angulated who underwent EVAR, but required repeat intervention because thrombotic occlusion stent graft limbs.
To investigate the image quality of lower extremity computed tomography angiography (LE-CTA) using a reconstruction algorithm for monoenergetic images (MEIs) to evaluate peripheral arterial disease (PAD) at different kiloelectron volt (keV) levels.A total 146 consecutive patients who underwent LE-CTA on dual-energy scanner obtain MEIs 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 keV were included. The overall quality, segmental arteries PAD segments, venous contamination, metal artifacts from prostheses, which...
Abstract Optimal antiplatelet therapy after endovascular (EVT) for peripheral artery disease is controversial. This trial aimed to evaluate whether sarpogrelate plus aspirin was non-inferior preventing early restenosis femoropopliteal (FP) EVT compared clopidogrel aspirin. In this open-label, prospective randomized trial, 272 patients were enrolled successful FP lesions. Patients in each group received 100 mg and 75 or 300 orally once per day 6 months. The primary outcome target lesion at...
Background/Aim: Since pathways involving LRRC17 are related to the survival of patients with various cancers, we analyzed as a prognostic gene in serous ovarian cancer. Materials and Methods: Data were collected from Gene Expression Omnibus (GSE9891, GSE13876, GSE26712) The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We performed analyses using C statistics, area under curve, plot optimal cutoff level, cox proportional regression. Zebrafish embryos used an vivo model. Results: prognosis high expression was...
