Within a matter of 48 hours, the promotion article entitled "Prevalence unprofessional social media content among young vascular surgeons," aptly demonstrated power and dangers unconscious bias as it spread across Twitter with #MedBikini tag. In response, surgeons from around world have come together in call to action address highlight misogynistic, racist, oppressive issues facing today. We, female surgery trainees, would like make our own action. The publication this (now appropriately...
Anatomic severity grade (ASG) can be used to assess abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) anatomic complexity. High ASG is associated with complications following endovascular repair of AAAs and we have demonstrated that correlates resource utilization. The hypothesis this study directly related midterm mortality in patients undergoing AAA repair.Patients who underwent infrarenal repairs between July 2007 August 2014 were retrospectively reviewed scores calculated using 3-dimensional computed...
Introduction Formation and renewal of intramural thrombus is associated with inflammation, contributes to the complexity aneurysm repair. Current cardiovascular pharmacotherapy includes several inflammatory modulators such as aspirin, statins, clopidogrel, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. The purpose our study was investigate effect these on radiographically-determined sac volume. Methods Pre-operative computed tomography scans were reviewed in patients who underwent elective...
To establish a rodent model for skin grafting with fibrin glue and examine the effects of on adhesive strength grafts without bolsters.Animal cohort.Academic hospital laboratory.Three were created using pneumatic microtome dorsum 12 rats. Rats evenly divided into experimental (n = 6) control groups. The group received thin layer between graft wound bed, was secured standard bolsters. Adherence tested by measurement force required to sheer from recipient wound. Adhesion measurements taken...
Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) has been used with increasing prevalence for treatment of carotid stenosis. TCAR holds potential benefits over traditional endarterectomy (CEA) or transfemoral stenting by its nature being less invasive than CEA but more neuroprotective stenting. The purpose this pilot study is to evaluate the effectiveness neuroprotection system flow reversal quantifying incidence and degree new intracerebral lesions using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance...
Objectives/Hypothesis The ideal animal experimental tracheostomy technique is one that 1) safe and easy to perform, 2) requires no tube, 3) minimal cleaning or suctioning maintain patency. leporine model for airway injury has been well established offers an inexpensive practical evaluation. However, previous research demonstrated a high mortality rate with survival surgery in rabbits. This study demonstrates the feasibility of management using simple maturing suture avoids tube. Study Design...
Endovenous thermal ablation (EVTA) is a prevalent treatment option for patients with severe venous disease. However, the decision to intervene less disease (CEAP [clinical, etiology, anatomy, pathophysiology] C2 and C3) clear becomes further complicated obesity, pathology known increase symptom severity. Therefore, objective of this study was use Society Vascular Surgery Quality Initiative database evaluate outcomes after EVTA in obese CEAP C3 insufficiency.
Endothermal heat-induced thrombosis (EHIT) is a potential complication of radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Data on effective prophylaxis EHIT limited. In 2018, our institution implemented strategies to decrease the incidence EHIT. The study objective was evaluate impact these institutional changes thrombotic rates after RFA.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the use of prophylactic intravenous hydration (IV prophylaxis) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) angiography in reducing contrast associated-acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) determine overall incidence risk factors CA-AKI high-risk patients undergoing peripheral vascular interventions (PVI). Method: Only elective PVI from 2017 2021 with chronic disease (CKD) stage 3-5 Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) database were included. Patients grouped into IV prophylaxis vs...
The rate of heart failure and subsequent placement left ventricular assistive devices (LVADs) has been increasing. extra-anatomic the LVAD outflow graft presents a challenging problem for repair when complications arise. present report describes case 63-year-old man who had presented with acute pseudoaneurysm his recently placed LVAD. Percutaneous access subclavian artery percutaneous, transthoracic was obtained to allow sheath stent deployment within graft. patient underwent successful...
