Peripheral Arteries
This paper details an under-development animal model to study the vascular pathology of vein grafts in a variation of the initial Carrel canine bypass experiment. The possible findings on detrimental effects of hydrostatic distention, if...
Level IV evidence from the Broitish government in the most prominent debate on cardiovascular pharmacology of the last few years: Since December 2018, the paclitaxel coated devices have been scrutinised...
A condensed, granular and yet comprehensive discussion on a small retrospective series on mostly non-iatrogenic trauma of the subclavian and axillary arteries treated mostly by stenting. Professor Veller’s viewpoint is...
A number of interesting points are raised in this relatively short manuscript. The authors conclude that there is an unmet need for robust independent international registry data from the manufacturers...
This is an open access genomic study of carotid atheroma in Viennese patients with a useful extensive discussion on potential translational value of the signature of calcification, juxtaposed to sonographic...
Quite possibly, this manuscript is projected to have the highest impact on patient care and industry for the immediate future. It provides an unusually clear narrative, and findings of a...
There could be some translational value for cardiovascular surgical practice from this prospective cardiovascular health study. The mechanistic link warrants further investigation and interpretation.
...This is an interesting, well-written account of pooled results of two medium-size RCTs . It would be interesting to see a third arm of optimum medical therapy in follow-up studies...
Interesting case-control study on variations of aortovascular compliance
...A useful detailed review (or state-of-the-art article) on revascularisation in extracardiac vascular stenoocclusive atheromatosis.
...A scholarly metanalytic review on training by surgical simulators. The authors submit that low-fidelity is acceptable, balancing affordable basic inanimate models against the higher cost (and ethics) of zootomy and...
An ad hoc interim analysis pursuant to previous publications raising concerns on Paclitaxel DCS in chronic critical and not-critical lower limb ischaemia. The short manuscript requires careful reading to form...
Patients with aneurysms 7 cm or greater demonstrated a higher probability of survival when treated immediately, compared to delayed repair, for patients under 80 years of age. An interesting attempt...
