» The Missing Biomarker or Biomarker Panel in the Recovery of Muscle Mitochondrial Function
18/10/19 00:00 from European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery
It might be questioned why the careful, but invasive, scientific study by Gratl et al.1 should be published in this journal, because it has no immediate clinical application. The study shows that muscle mitochondrial function is depresse...

» Magnetic Resonance Imaging Identified Brain Ischaemia in Symptomatic Patients Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy Is Related to Histologically Apparent Intraplaque Haemorrhage
18/10/19 00:00 from European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery
Intraplaque haemorrhage (IPH) has been independently associated with a higher risk of future ipsilateral stroke in patients with carotid artery stenosis. Evaluation of plaque characteristics may contribute to risk assessment of recurrent...

» The Effect of Frailty on Outcome After Vascular Surgery
18/10/19 00:00 from European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery
Frailty is a state of increased vulnerability and is a stronger predictor for post-operative outcome than age alone. The aim of this study was to determine whether frailty is associated with adverse 30 day outcome in vascular surgery pat...

» Strict Control of Blood Glucose With an Intravenous Insulin Infusion Decreases the Risk of Post-operative Lower Extremity Weakness After Complex Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair
18/10/19 00:00 from European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery
It has previously been shown that post-operative lower extremity weakness (LEW) is associated with elevated blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glucose levels after branched endovascular aneurysms repair (BEVAR) of extensive aortic aneur...

» Retrograde Femoral Arterial Endoprosthesis Insertion for Access Site Haemorrhage After Percutaneous Endovascular Aneurysm Repair
17/10/19 00:00 from European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery

» Response to Letter to the Editor: Risk Factors of Pulmonary Embolism
17/10/19 00:00 from European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery
We thank Dr Kang and Dr Zhang for their interest in our study and their note regarding the potential relevance of systemic inflammatory disease (e.g. psoriasis) as a risk factor for pulmonary embolism (PE) after endovascular aortic repai...

» Cryopreserved Venous Allografts in Supra-inguinal Reconstructions: A Single Centre Experience
17/10/19 00:00 from European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery
This study introduces a novel technique for supra-inguinal arterial reconstructions with cryopreserved femoral vein and caval allografts with a low re-infection rate and an acceptable graft re-intervention rate on early mid term analysis.

» Aortic and Systemic Arterial Stiffness Responses to Acute Exercise in Patients With Small Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
17/10/19 00:00 from European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery
Elevated arterial stiffness is a characteristic of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and is associated with AAA growth and cardiovascular mortality. A bout of exercise transiently reduces aortic and systemic arterial stiffness in healthy ...

» Distal Stent Graft Induced New Entry: Risk Factors in Acute and Chronic Type B Aortic Dissections
15/10/19 00:00 from European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery
Distal stent graft induced new entry (dSINE) is a rare complication associated with acute and chronic dissections after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and is linked to a high re-intervention rate. The potential predicting ri...

» Prospective Study of the Iliac Branch Device E-liac in Patients with Common Iliac Artery Aneurysms: 12 Month Results
12/10/19 00:00 from European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery
At 12 months follow up of the PLIANT study, clinical success and efficacy of the E-liac Stent Graft System (JOTEC GmbH, Hechingen, Germany) were evaluated. Clinical success was defined as aneurysm exclusion (no type I, III, IV endoleak) ...
