10/04/24 00:00 from Annals of Vascular Surgery
Studies have linked matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to both abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA and AAA). The precise MMPs entailed in this procedure, however, were still unknown. This study used a two-sample Mendelian randomiz...

» Social Determinants of Health Factors and Loss-To-Follow-Up in the Field of Vascular Surgery Characteristics and Vascular Follow-Up
10/04/24 00:00 from Annals of Vascular Surgery
It is estimated that 22 – 57% of vascular patients are lost to follow-up which is of concern as the Society of Vascular Surgery recommends annual patient follow-up. The purpose of this report was to identify social determinants of health...

» Preoperative sizing to lower in-stent restenosis in peripheral arterial occlusive disease
09/04/24 00:00 from Annals of Vascular Surgery
The primary treatment for lower extremity peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) is angioplasty-stenting. Its main complication is in-stent restenosis. Poor selection of stent dimensions has been identified as a factor contributing...

» Midfoot Amputations as Adjuncts to Limb Preservation
09/04/24 00:00 from Annals of Vascular Surgery
