ObjectiveTreatment of juxtarenal and complex neck abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is now commonly by endovascular rather than open surgical repair (OSR). Published comparisons show poor validity scientific precision. UK-COMPASS a comparative cohort study treatments vs. OSR for patients with an AAA unsuitable standard on label aneurysm (EVAR).MethodsAll procedures in England (November 2017 to October 2019) were identified, anatomy assessed Corelab, peri-operative risk scores determined,...
Fenestrated endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms has been proposed as an alternative to open surgery for juxtarenal and pararenal aneurysms. At present, the evidence base this procedure is predominantly limited single-center or single-operator series. The aim study was present nationwide early results fenestrated in United Kingdom.All patients who underwent between January 2007 December 2010 at experienced institutions Kingdom(>10 procedures) were retrospectively studied by use...
Endovascular treatment is not recommended for aortic pathologies in patients with connective tissue diseases (CTDs) other than redo operations and as bridging procedures emergencies. However, recent developments endovascular technology may challenge this dogma.
Abstract Background Photodynamic therapy (PDT) reduces neointimal hyperplasia and negative remodelling following balloon injury in small large animal models. This clinical study investigated the role of adjuvant PDT femoral percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). Methods Eight PTAs seven patients (two women) with a median age 70 (range 59–86) years were performed PDT. All had previously undergone conventional at same site which resulted symptomatic restenosis or occlusion between 2 6...
Abstract Background Vascular surgical care has changed dramatically in recent years with little knowledge of the impact system failures on patient safety. The primary aim this multicentre observational study was to define landscape failures, errors and inefficiency (collectively termed failures) aortic surgery. Secondary aims were investigate determinants these their relationship outcomes. Methods Twenty vascular teams at ten English hospitals trained structured self-reporting intraoperative...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses red light (non-thermal, non-ionising) to activate a previously administered photosensitizing drug. This inhibits neointimal hyperplasia in injured arteries small animals where it appears safe and well tolerated. Our aim was develop method for percutaneous application of PDT iliac coronary large animal model investigate its influence on the remodeling intimal hyperplastic response balloon injury.Studies were undertaken 13 juvenile Large White-Landrace crossbred...
Objectives Venous thromboembolism is a potentially fatal complication of superficial endovenous treatment. Proper risk assessment and thromboprophylaxis could mitigate this hazard; however, there are currently no evidence-based or consensus guidelines. This study surveyed UK Republic Ireland vascular consultants to determine areas consensus. Methods A 32-item survey was sent via the Vascular Endovascular Research Network (phase 1). These results generated 10 statements which were...
Research in recent years has shown renewed vigour the area of employee turnover (e.g., Lee, Ashford, Walsh & Mowday, 1992; Lee Mitchell, 1992). Earlier studies were rather narrow scope, restricting their investigation to a single predictor. The major finding shared by these was an inverse relationship between job satisfaction and (Muchinsky Tuttle, 1979). This been especially evident when indicated relation work itself Morrow, 1980). Other have only modest turnover, with aspect...
