BackgroundAmong asymptomatic patients with severe carotid artery stenosis but no recent stroke or transient cerebral ischaemia, either stenting (CAS) endarterectomy (CEA) can restore patency and reduce long-term risks. However, from national registry data, each option causes about 1% procedural risk of disabling death. Comparison their protective effects requires large-scale randomised evidence.MethodsACST-2 is an international multicentre trial CAS versus CEA among thought to require...
Introduction: Aim of the study is to assess occurrence early stage coagulopathy and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in patients with mild moderate respiratory distress secondary SARS-CoV-2 infection. Materials methods: Data hospitalized from 18 March 2020 20 April were retrospectively reviewed. Two scores for screening (SIC non-overt DIC scores) calculated. The thrombotic complication, death, worsening function requiring non-invasive ventilation (NIV) or admission ICU recorded,...
The assessment of carotid plaque vulnerability is a relevant clinical information that can help prevent adverse cerebrovascular events. To this aim, in work we study the ability different non-invasive methods for assessing patients undergoing endarterectomy (CEA). Histological examinations patients' samples were conducted after CEA while ultrasound (US) and computed tomography angiography (CTA) acquisitions performed preoperatively. US acquisition included point shear wave elastography...
Background/Objectives: Carotid artery stenosis (CAS) is one of the main causes stroke, and vulnerability plaque has been proved to be a determinant. A joint analysis shear wave elastography, radiofrequency echo-based wall tracking technique for arterial stiffness evaluation, autonomic baroreflex function proposed noninvasively, preoperatively assess in asymptomatic CAS patients scheduled carotid endarterectomy. Methods: Elastographic markers were derived 78 (age: 74.2 + 7.7 years, 27...
Background: Despite screening recommendations, many abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are incidentally imaged during various imaging studies but frequently missed, especially when the procedure is not specifically targeted to aorta. The aims of this study were conduct a retrospective analysis assess incidence AAAs as incidental findings on lumbar spine magnetic resonance (MRI) and evaluate detection rate these reported by radiologists. Methods: After ethics committee approval, included...
We describe our initial experience with the use of TriVascular Ovation endograft system for treatment abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).We retrospectively reviewed data from patients treated AAA using at two institutions January 2011 to September 2012. Main outcomes included primary success, survival, complications, and device-related events. The mean follow-up period was 10 months (range 1-22 months).Thirty-seven (male: 95%, age: 76 yr) were (mean diameter: 54 mm) endograft. Local or...
BACKGROUND: This guideline (GL) on carotid surgery as updating of "Stroke: Italian guidelines for Prevention and Treatment" the ISO-SPREAD Stroke Organization-Group, has recently been published in National Guideline System shared with Society Vascular Endovascular Surgery (SICVE) other Scientific Societies Patient's Association.METHODS: GRADE-SIGN version, AGREE quality reporting checklist. Clinical questions formulated according to PICO model. Recommendations developed based clinical by a...
The assessment of carotid plaque vulnerability is a relevant clinical information that can help prevent adverse cerebrovascular events. To this aim, in study, we propose patient-specific computational workflow to quantify the stress distribution an atherosclerotic artery, by means geometric modeling and structural simulation vessel wall. Ten patients were involved our study. Starting with segmentation lumen, calcific lipid components from computed tomography angiography images, fibrous...
Abstract We aimed to investigate the prevalence of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and its association with clinical variables in a cohort hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients receiving low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) at prophylactic dosage. In this retrospective observational study we included COVID-19 LMWH from admission but still referred for lower-limbs venous Doppler ultrasound (LL-US) computed tomography angiography (CTPA) PTE suspicion. A dedicated radiologist...
