BACKGROUND: Aortoiliac disease poses a significant cardiovascular (CV) risk, especially in individuals with chronic kidney disease. This study aimed to assess the predictive role of long-term major adverse CV events patients submitted aortoiliac revascularization due severe atherosclerotic disease.METHODS: From 2013 2023, who underwent for TASC II type D lesions, including those disease, were selected from prospective cohort study. Demographic, clinical, and postoperative data collected....
Abstract Background Decision-making when considering major lower limb amputation is complex and requires individualized outcome estimation. It unknown how accurate healthcare professionals or relevant prediction tools are at predicting outcomes 1-year after amputation. Methods An international, multicentre prospective observational study evaluating professional accuracy in 1 year evaluation of identified a systematic search the literature was undertaken. Observed were compared with:...
Compare technical, clinical, and economic outcomes between endovascular open approaches in patients with type D aortoiliac occlusive disease according to the TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus.Patients undergoing revascularization for lesions, either or surgery approach, from 2 Portuguese institutions January 2011 October 2017 were included. The surgical technique was left surgeon discretion. Patients common femoral artery affection, both obstructive aneurysmatic, excluded.Twenty-seven...
Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate atrium extracellular matrix remodeling in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with severe aortic stenosis, through histological fibrosis quantification and gene expression analysis, as well serum of selected protein targets. Methods A posthoc analysis a prospective was performed cohort stenosis patients. Between 2014 2019, 56 submitted valve replacement surgery tertiary hospital were selected. Results Fibrosis significantly increased the AF...
Abstract Background The accuracy with which healthcare professionals (HCPs) and risk prediction tools predict outcomes after major lower limb amputation (MLLA) is uncertain. aim of this study was to evaluate the predicting short-term (30 days MLLA) mortality, morbidity, revisional surgery. Methods PERCEIVE (PrEdiction Risk Communication outcomE following amputation: a collaboratIVE) launched on 1 October 2020. It an international multicentre study, including adults undergoing MLLA for...
<b><i>Objective:</i></b> Patients submitted to carotid artery endarterectomy (CEA) have a long-term risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) 6–9% at 2 years. Hematological parameters been shown predictive function in atherosclerotic diseases, namely the red blood cell distribution width-coefficient variation (RDW-CV). This parameter has associated with worse outcomes such as myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and all-cause mortality. study aims evaluate...
BACKGROUND: Aortoiliac peripheral artery disease may lead to disabling lower limb claudication or chronic threatening ischemia, which is associated with increased short and long-term morbi-mortality. The red blood cell distribution width-coefficient of variation (RDW-CV) has been able predict outcomes in other atherosclerotic diseases, such as myocardial infarction stroke. main objective this study was assess the predictive ability perioperative RDW-CV accurately predicting major adverse...
Background: Patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) may experiment intraoperative neurologic deficits (IND) during cross-clamping. This work aimed to assess the impact of Gupta Perioperative Myocardial Infarct or Cardiac Arrest (MICA) risk calculator in IND. Methods: From January 2012 April 2021, patients CEA with regional anaesthesia for stenosis IND and consecutively control operated without were selected. A regressive predictive model was created, a receiver operating...
Background: This study aims to evaluate the incidence of myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery for an extensive disease pattern (TASC II type D) and examine its prognostic value. Methods: prospective included a total 66 consecutive patients (62 males, 4 females; mean age 62.5±8.2 years) who underwent elective revascularization aortoiliac TASC D lesions in tertiary setting between January 2013 March 2019. The were scheduled either by open or endovascular approach. Cardiac troponins...
Background: Cardiac complications represent the main cause of mortality after non-cardiac surgery and Revised Risk Index (RCRI) was created to estimate perioperative risk these events. It considers history ischaemic heart disease, congestive failure, diabetes requiring preoperative insulin, stroke or transient attack renal impairment. We aim describe accuracy RCRI for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) - a composite ischemic all-cause death. Also, authors aimed review...
Public health was severely affected by the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic, imposing major daily life changes across world, including services that had to restructure significantly.Considering potential side effects on quality vascular training, a digital survey (Survey Monkey®) developed and submitted trainees from 7 July 20 September 2020 through European mailing lists social media platforms. The aim evaluate standpoint education Europe during pandemic identify possible measures mitigate...
To document the recovery of vascular services in Europe following first COVID-19 pandemic peak.An online structured service survey with repeated data entry between 23 March and 9 August 2020 was carried out. Unit level were collected using questionnaires addressing modifications to during peak (March - May 2020, "period 1"), then again June ("period 2") July 3"). The duration each period similar. From 2 June, as reductions cases began be reported, centres asked if they a region still...
Background: This study aims to validate the psoas muscle area and density as morphometric predictors in cardiovascular cerebrovascular endpoints patients with extensive aortoiliac peripheral arterial disease. Methods: A total of 57 (55 males, 2 females; mean age 60±8.2 years; range, 35 83 years) Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus type D lesions who underwent revascularization at two Portuguese tertiary hospitals between January 2013 July 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The a recent...
Innominate artery (IA) injury is a rare entity with most patients dying before reaching the hospital. While open surgery remains standard treatment, endovascular approach attractive as it may reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality. We report case of IA blunt extending to subclavian pseudoaneurysm formation successfully treated covered stenting its bifurcation. A 49-year-old male was admitted after suffering multiple trauma due high energy impact motorcycle crash. In emergency room,...
