Factors Influencing the Incidence of Endovenous Heat-Induced Thrombosis (EHIT) Tập 47 Số 3 - Trang 207-212 - 2013
Soo J. Rhee, Nancy L. Cantelmo, Mark F. Conrad, Julianne Stoughton
Introduction: Extension of thrombus from the great saphenous vein into the common femoral vein can be an early postprocedural complication of endothermal ablation (ETA). Methods: A retrospective review was performed over a 3-year period. Intraprocedural ultrasound images demonstrating the dist...... hiện toàn bộ
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Revascularization for Limb Salvage Tập 48 Số 5-6 - Trang 402-405 - 2014
Kakra Hughes, Christopher S. Boyd, Tolulope A. Oyetunji, Daniel Tran, David C. Chang, David Rose, Suryanarayan Siram, Edward E. Cornwell, Thomas O. Obisesan
Introduction: Previous reports have suggested that black patients have a higher rate of major lower extremity amputation and a lower rate of revascularization for limb salvage when compared to white patients. Objective: We undertook this study to determine the extent of this ethnic disparity i...... hiện toàn bộ
81-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography as a Novel Imaging Tool for the Diagnosis of Aortoenteric Fistula and Aortic Graft Infection Tập 37 Số 5 - Trang 363-366 - 2003
Alexander S. Krupnick, Joseph V. Lombardi, Friederike H. Engels, Daniel Kreisel, Hongming Zhuang, Abass Alavi, Jeffrey P. Carpenter
The diagnosis of aortic graft infection and aortoenteric fistula can be difficult to establish using conventional radiographic imaging modalities. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) can rapidly provide anatomically clear images and define areas of inflammation with increased glucose metabolism. In this report the authors present a case of aortoenter...... hiện toàn bộ
The Risks of Celiac Artery Coverage During Endoluminal Repair of Thoracic and Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms Tập 43 Số 1 - Trang 51-60 - 2009
Luis R. Léon, Joseph L. Mills, William D. Jordan, Mark Morasch, Margaret Kovacs, Gary J. Becker, Bülent Arslan
The risks of purposeful celiac artery coverage during endovascular thoracic aortic aneurysm repair (TEVAR) to obtain an adequate distal landing zone have received scant scientific attention. Patients undergoing TEVAR at 6 tertiary centers from January 2000 to June 2007 were identified (n = 434); cases requiring celiac artery exclusion (n = 19; 4.4% of the total) were analyzed. The mean fo...... hiện toàn bộ
Diabetes Mellitus and Aortic Aneurysm Rupture Tập 48 Số 1 - Trang 45-50 - 2014
N.S. Theivacumar, Matthew Stephenson, Hiren Mistry, Domenico Valenti
Introduction: Recent reports suggest that diabetic patients are relatively unlikely to have abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). This retrospective study assesses the relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and aortic aneurysm rupture. Methods: Patients with a diagnosis of any aortic aneurys...... hiện toàn bộ
Limb Salvage Angioplasty in Poor Surgical Candidates Tập 37 Số 2 - Trang 99-104 - 2003
Girma Tefera, William D. Turnipseed, Timothy E. Tanke
This study was conducted to evaluate the potential for percutaneous catheter based limb salvage angioplasty in patients who have no surgical bypass option. Twenty patients, 12 males and 8 females, with end-stage limb ischemia (Rutherford category 4 and 5) were treated with balloon angioplasty. Antegrade femoral access, coronary guidewire, and balloons were used. The aim of intervention wa...... hiện toàn bộ
Diagnosing Common Carotid Artery Agenesis Using Duplex Ultrasound Tập 45 Số 8 - Trang 727-732 - 2011
Emily Wood, Rafael D. Malgor, Nicos Labropoulos
The complete absence of a common carotid artery, also known as common carotid artery (CCA) agenesis, is a well-described yet extremely rare congenital anomaly. Most carotid system anomalies are related to origins of the external or internal carotid arteries. All such anomalies are typically asymptomatic unless associated with a concomitant arterial lesion that results in a workup for symp...... hiện toàn bộ
