There is no consensus regarding the terminology, definition, classification, diagnostic criteria, and algorithm, or reporting standards for disease of infective native aortic aneurysm (INAA), previously known as mycotic aneurysm. The aim this study was to establish by performing a study.The Delphi methodology used. Thirty-seven international experts were invited via mail participate. Four two week rounds performed, using an online questionnaire, initially with 22 statements nine items....
Abstract Purpose Recently, two meta-analyses concluded that there appears to be an increased risk of long-term mortality paclitaxel-coated balloons and stents in the superficial femoral popliteal artery, below knee. In this post hoc study PADI Trial, we investigated safety first-generation drug-eluting (DES) knee dose–mortality relationships paclitaxel patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLI). Materials Methods The Trial compared DES percutaneous transluminal angioplasty...
The COVID-19 pandemic caused disruption of regular healthcare leading to reduced hospital attendances, repurposing surgical facilities, and cancellation cancer screening programmes. This study aimed determine the impact on care in Netherlands.A nationwide was conducted collaboration with Dutch Institute for Clinical Auditing. Eight audits were expanded items regarding alterations scheduling treatment plans. Data procedures performed 2020 compared those from a historical cohort (2018-2019)....
This Delphi study established a consensus document on infective native aortic aneurysm regarding overall management, surgical and antimicrobial treatment, follow up routines, duration of as well defining cure the disease.This was in order to support clinicians researchers dealing with this rare disease where evidence is lacking guide detailed supplement current guidelines.
Within five years after presentation 50-60% of patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLI) have died or had an amputation. We assessed the predictive value lower extremity arterial calcification on computed tomography (CT) characteristics both 7-years amputation-free survival and 10-years all-cause mortality in CLI.Included were 89 CLI (mean age 73.1 ± 11.6 years) who underwent a CT angiography extremities. In femoropopliteal crural arteries based score following assessed:...
ObjectivesVascular graft and endograft infections (VGEI) native vessel (NVI) remain considerable challenges in vascular surgery, leading to high mortality morbidity rates. Although situ reconstruction is the preferred treatment, material of choice still a source debate. Autologous veins are considered first choice; however, xenografts may be an acceptable alternative. The performance biomodified bovine pericardial assessed, when implemented infected area.Design MethodsThis prospective...
5-year mortality of chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is 50-60% and coronary artery disease (CAD) the main cause death CLTI patients, followed by stroke. The aim this study to quantify qualify calcium load in different arterial territories patients with CLTI.Prospectively, 60 were included received a full-body CT scan. 6 excluded. Different (the peripheral lower extremity arteries, extracranial intracranial carotid thoracic abdominal aorta) analyzed. Analysis interrelations both...
Lipoma is the most common type of soft tissue tumour. Multiple lipomas localised in different areas body are rare and can occur specific hereditary syndromes. Familial multiple lipomatosis a benign syndrome with proposed autosomal-dominant inheritance. We present case 67-year-old man this disease. Clinical features, genetic evidence, treatment options reviewed.
Purpose: Heparin is the most widely-used anticoagulant to prevent thrombo-embolic complications during non-cardiac arterial procedures (NCAP). Unfortunately, there a lack of evidence and consequently non-uniformity in guidelines on perprocedural heparin management. Detailed insight into current practice antithrombotic strategies NCAP Netherlands important, aiming identify potential optimal protocols local differences concerning heparinization. Materials Methods: A comprehensive online survey...
Pseudoaneurysm of the hand is a rare condition; most are treated surgically. Ultrasound guided thrombin injection has not previously been reported as treatment option for pseudoaneurysms deep palmar arch.A man was referred to emergency department with swollen, painful after penetrating trauma. On physical examination, pulsating tumor found on dorsum hand. Imaging revealed pseudoaneurysm vascularized by arch. percutaneous successfully performed.Thrombin might be safe alternative in
Objectives: The most severe type of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLI). In CLI, calcification the vessel wall plays an important role in symptoms, amputation rate, and mortality. However, calcified arteries are also found asymptomatic persons (non-PAD patients). We investigated whether pattern CLI patients non- PAD different could possibly explain symptoms patients. Materials Methods: 130 204 non-PAD underwent a CT lower extremities. This resulted...
Four-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging (4D MRI) can accurately visualize and quantify provide hemodynamic information such as wall shear stress (WSS). This technique be used to obtain more insight in the changes during cardiac cycle true false lumen of uncomplicated acute Type B Aortic Dissection (TBAD). Gaining these forces TBAD optimal medical treatment, might result prediction adverse outcomes.A porcine aorta dissection model with an artificial was positioned a validated ex-vivo...
A 30-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department with a 2-day history of colic pain in left upper quadrant abdomen. She had been suffering from nausea and vomiting, which attributed her recent pregnancy (±8 weeks). Her medical consisted rheumatoid arthritis unexplained abdominal pains were paired vomiting. Laboratory results normal showed only positive test. An ultrasound performed by gynaecologist an empty womb, leading diagnosis ectopic pregnancy. During diagnostic laparoscopy...
