Takayasu's arteritis is a condition of unknown aetiology with an unpredictable natural history. Most the literature available has originated from Asia, few contributions Africa where pattern disease may be different. This single institution's experience review.Data were obtained retrospectively angiographic and medical records patients treated at Groote Schuur Hospital over period 1952-2002. The criteria for inclusion those proposed by Aortitis Syndrome Research Committee Japan American...
Abstract Purpose To assess safety and patency of the Venovo venous stent for treatment iliofemoral vein obstruction. Materials Methods Twenty-two international centers enrolled 170 patients in VERNACULAR study (93 post-thrombotic syndrome; 77 non-thrombotic iliac lesions). Primary outcome measures were major adverse events at 30 days 12-month primary (freedom from target vessel revascularization, thrombotic occlusion, or stenosis > 50%). Secondary outcomes included Venous Clinical...
We present a unique case of acute aortic occlusion secondary to infective endocarditis (IE). An Aboriginal Australian woman with systemic lupus erythematosus presented fever, confusion, tachycardia, and tachypnoea had cold, pulseless, insensate, paralysed lower limbs. Computed tomography angiography revealed multifocal the distal aorta limb vessels. Broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy was initiated alongside heparin infusion, thrombectomy four-compartment fasciotomy limbs were performed. IE,...
Background: The aim of this study was to determine the outcomes a contemporary amputation series. Methods: A retrospective audit 87 cases major lower limb from January 2000 December 2002 Department Vascular Surgery, Royal Perth Hospital, conducted. Results: mean age population 70.1 ± 14.3 years; male : female ratio 3.35:1. Comorbid problems included diabetes (49.4%), smoking (81.6%), hypertension (77.0%), ischaemic heart disease (58.6%), stroke (25.3%), raised creatinine level (34.5%) and...
Women with abdominal aortic aneurysms less often meet anatomic criteria for endovascular repair and experience worse perioperative long-term survival.We compared survival, aneurysm-related mortality, rates of endoleaks reinterventions between male female patients in the Endurant Stent Graft Natural Selection Global Postmarket Registry (ENGAGE) using 2:1 propensity score matching.There were 1130 133 patients, yielding 399 after matching (266 patients). Female older, smaller aneurysms, iliac...
Background: Popliteal artery injury is uncommon but poses a significant challenge in Australian trauma care. Blunt and knee dislocations appear to be associated with higher amputation rates. The aim of the present study was review authors’ experience this condition discuss best approach investigation management. Methods: medical records all patients popliteal ( n = 19) who were entered prospectively onto Royal Perth Hospital Trauma Registry from 1995 2003 reviewed. Their demographic data,...
Visceral arterial pseudoaneurysms (VAPAs) are rare vascular entities with serious consequences. Traditionally, they associated trauma, infection, and inflammatory disease, or can arise as a post-operative complication.An 87 year old man presented abdominal pain was found to have spontaneous VAPA on computed tomography angiogram. Serial imaging 4 months previously had demonstrated no aneurysm. Between scans, warfarin changed apixaban for aortic valve replacement, but he other changes any...
