Background Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair aims to prevent premature death from AAA rupture. Elective is currently recommended when diameter reaches 5.5 cm (men) and 5.0 (women). Applying population-based indications may not be appropriate for individual patient decisions, as the optimal indication likely differ between patients based on age comorbidities. Objective To develop an Aneurysm Repair Decision Aid (ARDA) indicate elective optimises survival assess cost-effectiveness...
INTRODUCTION There is evidence of effectiveness for a range different treatment modalities varicose veins but limited information about factors that influence choice individual patients. METHODS A postal survey was sent to 438 UK members the Vascular Society Great Britain and Ireland. RESULTS Overall, 251 responses were received (response rate 57%). total 222 respondents treated using conventional surgery (84%), endothermal ablation (82%) foam sclerotherapy (68%). The clinical pattern...
Antiplatelet therapy following peripheral arterial endovascular intervention lacks high quality evidence to guide practice. The aim of this study was assess the effect three months dual antiplatelet on amputation-free survival in patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia.A retrospective review symptomatic undergoing primary over a seven-year period performed. outcome measure survival. A sample size calculation based previous cohort studies suggested that 629 limbs would be required...
Graft site candidiasis is a rare but life-threatening complication of renal transplant. We report the course and management 2 transplant recipients, using kidneys from single donor, both whom developed vascular complications secondary to Candida infection.
Background: Living in deprived areas is associated with poorer outcomes after certain vascular procedures and surgical site infection other specialties. Our primary objective was to determine whether living more income-deprived groin wound arterial intervention. Secondary objectives were mortality clinical consequences of infection. Methods: Postal code data for patients from the United Kingdom who included Groin Wound Infection Vascular Exposure (GIVE) multicenter cohort study used income...
Background Simulation-based team-working training can improve patient safety and quality of care. We aim to demonstrate how a multi-disciplinary approach theatre team result in improved working skills. Methods A multidisciplinary team, simulation based programme was introduced within an NHS Foundation Trust. Participants included staff across all disciplines involved surgical The worked through pre-constructed real time simulated scenarios using SimMan laparoscopic box trainer followed by...
Background Restrictions on surgical trainee time and access to procedures limit the opportunities trainees have develop skills. Simulated models can be highly beneficial help individual techniques. Endovenous therapy requires a unique skill set acquired by trainee. We aim identify how realistic find an endovenous simulator. Method All vascular within training region were invited attend day using phantom limb simulators. Trainees asked complete questionnaire reflecting their opinions realism...
