Background Treatment of individuals with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis is still handled controversially. Recommendations for treatment endarterectomy (CEA) are based on trials having recruited patients more than 15 years ago. Registry data indicate that advances in best medical (BMT) may lead to a markedly decreasing risk stroke stenosis. The aim the SPACE-2 trial (ISRCTN78592017) was compare preventive effects BMT alone combination CEA or stenting (CAS), respectively, ≥70% European...
The aim of this study was to analyze differences in rupture risk and etiology visceral artery aneurysms (VAAs) pseudoaneurysms (VAPAs) a single-center experience.We retrospectively reviewed all patients with VAA or VAPA after treatment by open surgical endovascular repair (ER) our institution. Patient history, details, outcome were recorded analyzed.From January 1996 April 2014, 29 (12 women) 33 (26 VAAs 7 VAPAs) treated elective urgent settings ER. Etiology quite different, most common...
Purpose: To examine the outcomes of all first-line strategies for treatment critical limb ischemia (CLI), identify factors that influenced choice, and determine risk amputation or death after each treatment. Methods: CRITISCH ( ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01877252) is a multicenter, national, prospective registry evaluating available applied in 1200 consecutive CLI patients 27 vascular centers Germany. The recruitment started January 2013 was completed September 2014. Treatment options...
In recent years, a controversial discussion about the clinical relevance of angiosome concept during tibial angioplasty has developed. Therefore, we conducted prospective study to evaluate on level microcirculation vascular interventions.Thirty patients with isolated were examined prospectively. Macrocirculation was evaluated by measurement ankle-brachial index (ABI). For assessment microcirculation, combined method laser Doppler flowmetry and tissue spectrometry (O2C; LEA Medizintechnik...
Real-time imaging and functional assessment of the intestinal tract its transit pose a significant challenge to conventional clinical diagnostic methods. Multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT), molecular-sensitive technology, offers potential visualize endogenous exogenous chromophores in deep tissue. Herein, novel approach using orally administered clinical-approved fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG) for bedside, non-ionizing evaluation gastrointestinal passage is presented. The...
Objective: This study examines outcome and durability of self made bovine pericardial tube grafts in aortic infections all anatomic locations.Methods: was a retrospective prospective international multicentre study.Perioperative long term outcomes patients undergoing situ reconstruction for native or graft with between January 2008 December 2020 four European tertiary referral centres were analysed.The primary endpoint recurrent infection.Secondary endpoints persistent infection, reoperation...
Abstract Background Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects more than 200 million people worldwide, with symptoms ranging from none to severe. Despite these different diagnostic options, patients unclear leg pain remain challenging diagnose. The primary objective of this study was evaluate whether multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) can discriminate between healthy volunteers (HV) and intermittent claudication (IC) by assessing hemoglobin-related biomarkers in calf muscle tissue....
Background and Purpose — The objective of this study was to evaluate the relative value high-resolution, contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE MRA) with elliptical centric k-space ordering compared intra-arterial x-ray for imaging carotid stenosis. Methods Thirty patients suspected stenosis arteries were examined CE MRA (1.5-T scanner) (aortic arch survey selective both common arteries). For first time, not only extracranial bifurcation but all vessel segments from aortic circle Willis...
Background Various local flaps have been described for patients suffering from sternal osteomyelitis and are regarded as a standard procedure defect reconstruction. In contrast, the use of microsurgical free has reported anecdotally only. We present our experiences with combination an arteriovenous loop flap transfer in defects larger than half sternum. Methods Between January 2012 October 2014, eight mean age 68 years who suffered extensive deep were operated consecutive series. After...
