Abstract Background Endovenous laser treatment is a percutaneous technique used for the of long saphenous vein (LSV) incompetence. This paper presents results an uncontrolled case series undertaken to assess feasibility, safety and efficacy this technique. Methods Some 145 incompetent LSVs in 136 patients with saphenofemoral reflux were treated endovenous laser. The data evaluated prospectively. Assessment was carried out at 1 week, 3 12 months LSV occlusion symptomatic relief. Results...
Fifty patients with aortic prosthetic infection were managed in a period of 10 years from 1983 to 1993. Twenty-five had recurrent sepsis after local surgery (group 1) and 22 these eventually required radical surgery. graft excision as the first procedure 2). Group 1 contained an excess groin symptoms (11 group versus five 2, P = 0.03) this fewer radiological techniques used document extent infection. The perioperative mortality rate was similar both groups (seven number amputations also...
Introduction: the objective of this abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening study was to determine attendance and disease prevalence patterns in Northern Ireland role deprivation other risk factors. Patients methods: patients from primary care practices Belfast, Lisburn, Saintfield were screened. Past medical history details determined. Results: 2264 men 1104 284 invited attend. Overall, 1659 (45.3%) attended, with 40.6% 55.0% 45.8% ( P < .0001). Ninety-two (5.5%) new AAAs diagnosed,...
Spontaneous dissection of the external iliac artery in absence aortic disease is extremely uncommon. We report conservative treatment a 46-year-old male patient who presented with acute left lower limb ischemia due to an isolated secondary repetitive swinging movements during golf club manufacturing. Although syndromes nonatherosclerotic vascular high-level athletic activity have been previously described cyclists, long distance runners, and rugby players, we believe this be first...
To compare endovascular (EVR) to open repair (OR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) for cytokine activation, changes in the intestinal mucosal barrier, and renal dysfunction.In a prospective nonrandomized study, 15 patients admitted university hospital elective infrarenal AAA (8 OR 7 EVR) were recruited. Intestinal permeability was assessed preoperatively (PO), at day 1 (D1), 3 (D3) after surgery using lactulose/mannitol differential excretion (LMR) test. Renal damage from measurements...
To compare the changes in aneurysm size following endovascular repair (EVAR) for ruptured versus elective abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).Aneurysm sac diameter was measured from computed tomographic (CT) scans 14 hemodynamically stable patients (14 men; mean age 74+/-7 years, range 60 to 83) prior emergent stent-graft AAA. The change followed postprocedurally with serial CT and outcomes compared 74 AAA (58 56 87) having EVAR same time period. rate of decrease (mm/month) calculated each...
Background Many devices are available for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Our aim was to analyze morphological effects of the Zenith and Talent systems. Methods Patients included underwent EVAR from June 1999 2005 using a or stent-graft, with computed tomography follow-up. Aortic dimensions over time clinical outcome were analyzed. Results Twenty-nine patients stent-grafts 33 included. Mean preoperative age similar (75.5 ± 6.0 years vs 74.2 6.7 years; P = .29). Preoperative neck length...
Objective: To assess the effect of intestinal manipulation and mesenteric traction on gastro-intestinal function postoperative recovery in patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. Methods: Thirty-five AAA repair were randomised into 3 groups. Group I (n = 11) had via retroperitoneal approach while II 12) III repaired transperitoneal with bowel packed within peritoneal cavity or exteriorised a bag respectively. Gastric emptying was measured pre-operatively (day 0), day 1...
