Implications of Intraoperative Vascular Surgery Assistance for Hospitals and Vascular Surgery Trainees

Intraoperative monitoring during vascular surgery.

The principal objectives of intraoperative monitoring are to improve perioperative outcome, facilitate surgery and reduce adverse events, using continuously collected data of cardiopulmonary,neurologic and metabolic function to guide pharmacologic and physiologic therapy. Although sophisticated and reliable apparatus may be used to collect these data they are useless, or even harmful, without p...

Applications of Cell Therapy in Vascular Surgery

Trying to use embryonic stem cells about 20 years ago, working with animals,  especially rats began. During these years , many experiments in mouse embryonic stem cells to transform into a variety of cells and transplanting them were led to remarkable success . In the next issue of human stem cells were considered successful until finally in 1998 the first report was published in the proliferat...

Intraoperative Anesthetic Management for Vascular and Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Surgery

Association between Intraoperative Hypotension and Myocardial Injury after Vascular Surgery.

BACKGROUND Postoperative myocardial injury occurs frequently after noncardiac surgery and is strongly associated with mortality. Intraoperative hypotension (IOH) is hypothesized to be a possible cause. The aim of this study was to determine the association between IOH and postoperative myocardial injury. METHODS This cohort study included 890 consecutive patients aged 60 yr or older undergoin...
