Peripheral vascular disease of the lower extremities comprises a clinical spectrum that extends from no symptoms to presentation with critical limb ischemia (CLI). Bone marrow derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BM- MSCs) may ameliorate consequences CLI due their combinatorial potential for inducing angiogenesis and immunomodulatory environment in situ. The primary objective was determine safety BM- MSCs patients CLI. Prospective, double blind randomized placebo controlled multi-center study...
ObjectiveTo determine the peri-operative mortality rate for intact and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair in 10 countries to compare practice outcomes over a six year period by age, sex, geographic location.MethodsThis VASCUNET study used prospectively collected data from vascular registries on primary of AAAs undertaken between January 2014 December 2019. The outcome was death (30 day or hospital). Logistic regression models were estimate association death, patient...
Vascular services in England are organized into regional hub-and-spoke models, with hubs performing arterial surgery. This study examined time to revascularization for chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) within and across different care pathways, its association postrevascularization outcomes.Three inpatient four outpatient pathways were identified patients CLTI undergoing between April 2015 March 2019 using Hospital Episode Statistics data. Differences times from presentation analysed...
Abstract Background Patients with diabetes and peripheral arterial disease are at increased risk of minor amputation. The aim study was to assess the rate re-amputations death after an initial amputation, identify associated factors. Methods Data on all patients aged 40 years over and/or disease, who underwent amputation between January 2014 December 2018, were extracted from Hospital Episode Statistics. had bilateral index procedures or in 3 before excluded. Primary outcomes ipsilateral...
Background Delays in the pathway from first symptom to treatment of chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) are associated with worse mortality and limb loss outcomes. This study examined processes used by vascular services provide urgent care patients suspected CLTI referred community. Methods Vascular surgery units various regions England were invited participate a process mapping exercise. Clinical non-clinical staff at participating interviewed, maps created that captured key...
The aim of this study was to investigate the illness trajectories patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) after revascularization and estimate independent risks major amputation death (from any cause) their interaction.
Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is known to reduce AAA-related mortality; however, the psychological impact of population AAA screening unclear. The aim was assess diagnosis on quality life (QoL) using data from an established programme.Mental and physical QoL scores men diagnosed with through participation in English Welsh programmes were compared no-AAA controls. Participants identified United Kingdom Aneurysm Growth Study (UKAGS), a nationwide prospective cohort study less...
Background A growing number of hemodialysis patients are dependent upon central venous catheters (CVCs) for long-term vascular access. Although many complications CVCs have been documented, the phenomenon stuck catheter is described relatively infrequently. Case report We describe a case where attempts to remove line by exploration jugular insertion site in theater were unsuccessful and was internalized. Discussion The then discussed with all available cases literature suggest principles...
Background DOQI (The Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiative) recommend 40% of prevalent renal failure patients should be undergoing hemodialysis (HD) using autogenous arteriovenous fistulae (AVF). The aim this study is to assess the primary patency rates wrist and elbow fistulae, examine how patient variables influence success a fistula. In addition, an attempt has been made address main issue survival in high risk population. Methods A retrospective was performed on all University Hospital...
Abstract Background There is a clinical need for treatments that can slow or prevent the growth of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, not only to reduce surgery, but provide means treat those who cannot undergo surgery. Methods Analysis UK Aneurysm Growth Study (UKAGS) prospective cohort was conducted test association between cardiometabolic medications and aneurysm above 30 mm in diameter, using linear mixed-effect models. Results A total 3670 male participants with data available on growth,...
