Thromboangiitis obliterans is a nonatherosclerotic segmental inflammatory disease, and miR-100 plays an anti-inflammatory role in chronic inflammation. Therefore, we hypothesized that miR-100 might alleviate the inflammatory damage and apoptosis of H2O2-induced ECV304 cells and aimed to investigate the relationship between miR-100 and thromboangiit...

To correlate the ankle-brachial index and photographic thermography findings in patients with peripheral arterial disease. Photographic thermography was performed at the foot level, and ankle-brachial index was measured in 72 lower limbs of 53 patients with peripheral arterial disease who were divided into calcified artery, patients with an ankle-b...

Temporary intravascular shunts are widely used in military surgery, representing a bridging until definitive vascular reconstruction. In civilian practice, shunts are mainly used as damage control and as a temporary measure until orthopaedic fixation. The objective of this report is to illustrate a new approach to the temporary restoration of perfu...

We aim to describe real-world outcomes from multicenter data about the efficacy of adjunct Heli-FX EndoAnchor usage in preventing or repairing failures during infrarenal endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), so-called EndoSutured-aneurysm-repair (ESAR). The current study has been assigned an identifier (NCT04100499) at the US National Library of Med...

Academic interaction with mentors has almost become minimal due to the current pandemic of COVID-19. The objective of this study is to introduce how a group of vascular surgery residencies joined forces to improve surgical education in times of COVID-19. On May 2020, a group of Hispanic American vascular residency programs created webinar sessions ...

Revascularization according to the angiosome concept is of proven importance for limb salvage in chronic limb threatening ischaemia but it is not always practicable. Bifurcated bypasses could be considered as an option when an endovascular approach is not feasible or has already failed and a single bypass would not allow direct revascularization of...

The aim was to evaluate the utility of frailty, as defined by the modified Frailty Index-1 1 (mFI-11) on predicting outcomes following endovascular revascularisation in Asian patients with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI). CLTI patients who underwent endovascular revascularisation between January 2015 and March 2017 were included. Patients...

Peripheral artery disease is estimated to affect 237 million individuals worldwide. Critical limb ischaemia, also known as chronic limb threatening ischaemia is a consequence of the progression of peripheral artery disease which occurs in ∼21% of patients over a five-year period. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the use of additional ...
