Objectives Intraluminal prosthetic graft thrombus (IPT) following Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) can have serious consequences. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of IPT and to identify the risk factors for its formation and progression. Methods This was a retrospective study of 258 patients who had EVAR between 2015 and 2018.
Five Year Outcomes in Patients with End Stage Renal Disease Who Received a Bioengineered Human Acellular Vessel for Dialysis Access
Introduction End stage renal disease (ESRD) patients who are not candidates for autogenous fistulas or whose fistulas have failed, rely on synthetic arteriovenous (AV) grafts (e.g., expanded polytetrafluoroethylene [ePTFE]) for vascular access. However, synthetic grafts have higher infection and stenosis rates than AV fistulas. 1 Almasri J. Alsawas M. Mainou M. Mustafa R.A. Wang Z. Woo K. et al. Outcomes of vascular access for hemodialysis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Systematic Reviews of the Literature Are Not Always Either Useful Or the Best Way To Add To Science
Systematic reviews are becoming more popular as a way of doing research; however, not all systematic reviews are clinically useful and sometimes another type of review (scoping, topical, or critical) would be of greater value to the clinical and scientific community. The different types of review and their use are described, illustrated by examples relevant to vascular surgery.
Outcomes of Acute Limb Ischaemia in Patients with Underlying Malignancy: A Systematic Review
Highlights • Review of data on acute limb ischaemia in the presence of underlying malignancy. • Demonstrates acceptable short and medium term survival rates. • Such patients should be considered for revascularisation. Objective Previous studies have demonstrated amputation and mortality rates to be 14.3% – 30% and 11.4% – 28.9%, respectively, for all patients presenting with acute limb ischaemia (ALI). Rates of ALI are higher in patients with malignancy than in those without.
Modified Banding of Arteriovenous Fistulas for the Treatment of Vascular Access Induced Digital Ischaemia
Highlights • Modified banding of arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) is associated with no access thrombosis or infection. • Modified AVF banding leads to resolution of vascular access induced ischaemia in the majority of patients. • Modified AVF banding is a simple, minimally invasive, and effective technique. Objective Vascular access induced digital ischaemia is an uncommon complication of haemodialysis access procedures and is difficult to manage.
