Rapid progression of carotid stenosis is rare in a large integrated healthcare system over an eight-year period.

Published in Journal of vascular surgery

Few studies have evaluated rapid progression of carotid stenosis on a large scale. We created a custom software algorithm to analyze an electronic medical record database, aiming to examine the natural progression of carotid stenosis, identify a subset of patients with rapid progression, and evaluate specific patient risk factors associated with th...

Registry Assessment of Peripheral Interventional Devices Objective Performance Goals for Superficial Femoral and Poplite...

Published in Journal of vascular surgery

The Superficial Femoral Artery-Popliteal EvidencE Development (SPEED) Study Group developed contemporary objective performance goals (OPG) for peripheral vascular interventions (PVI) for superficial femoral (SFA)-popliteal artery disease utilizing the Registry Assessment of Peripheral Interventional Devices (RAPID). The Society for Vascular Surgery...

Comparison of Open And Closed-Cell Stent Design Outcomes after Carotid Artery Stenting in The Vascular Quality Initiativ...

Published in Journal of vascular surgery

The association between stent design and outcomes after carotid artery stenting (CAS) remains controversial. There are conflicting data in the current literature regarding the superiority of any specific stent design. This study investigates the association between cell design and outcomes after carotid artery stenting (CAS) in real world setting. ...

Published in Journal of vascular surgery

The severe acute respiratory syndrome novel coronavirus-2 pandemic is affecting almost every country in the world. Even if the major symptoms of coronavirus disease-2019 are respiratory, different symptoms at presentation are now recognized. Venous thromboembolism has been reported in infected patients and few but increasing cases of arterial throm...

Presence of Social Media Mentions for Vascular Surgery Publications is Associated with an Increased Number of Literature...

Published in Journal of vascular surgery

The past two decades have seen a vast expansion of social media to all aspects of our lives. Scholars and journals are steadily increasing their social media presence to reach a wider audience. We aimed to compare social media mentions (SMs) of vascular surgery publications and their impact on the literature citations (LCs) for them. One hundred an...

Transabdominal Approach Associated with Increased Long-Term Laparotomy Complications after Open Abdominal Aortic Aneurys...

Published in Journal of vascular surgery

While transabdominal (TA) and lateral approaches (LA) to open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (OAR) are both acceptable and widely used, there are a paucity of data evaluating subsequent postoperative laparotomy-associated complications (LC). The aim of this study was to establish the incidence of LC after OAR and determine which approach was asso...

Patient Radiation Exposure from Embolo-Sclerotherapy of Peripheral Vascular Malformations.

Published in Journal of vascular surgery

Embolo-sclerotherapy (EST) is the mainstay therapy for peripheral vascular malformations which involves the exposure of patients to ionizing radiation. We aimed to analyze the radiation exposure to patients from EST of peripheral vascular malformations over five years in a single specialist center. All patients who had EST performed in a single spe...

Thoracic aortic geometry correlates with endograft bird-beaking severity.

Published in Journal of vascular surgery

Aortic geometry has been shown to influence the development of endograft malapposition (bird-beaking) in thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), but the extent of this relationship lacks clarity. The aim of this study was to develop a reproducible method of measuring bird-beak severity and to investigate preoperative geometry associated with b...
