Abstract
 Popliteal artery occlusion is a rare vascular complication after blunt knee trauma and may lead to limb loss if diagnosis delayed. Development of collateral pathways misguide the surgeon in planning surgeries for defect reconstruction. We report case patient with popliteal resulting from dislocation fall height, which developed anteromedial ankle following orthopedic surgery. Aft...

Despite numerous studies of antiplatelet and/or anticoagulation regimens after lower extremity bypass, no consensus has been reached regarding the optimal regimen for a particular combination conduit and target. A 2017 Vascular Quality Initiative study reported that therapy had effect on primary patency infrainguinal bypass grafts but some benefit in secondary infrageniculate targets. Clinicall...

OBJECTIVE To report the incidence of diabetes-related lower-extremity complications in a cohort of patients enrolled in a diabetes disease management program. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We evaluated screening results and clinical outcomes for the first 1,666 patients enrolled in a disease management program for a period of 24 months (50.3% men, aged 69.1 +/- 11.1 years). RESULTS The incide...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To quantify simultaneously the pulmonary and gastrointestinal (GI) damage that occurs during uncomplicated surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and to examine the relationships between markers of such damage. DESIGN Prospective, open. SETTING Adult ICU of a national referral hospital. PATIENTS Twenty patients undergoing elective CPB surgery. MEASUREMENTS AND R...

Advances in our understanding of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) have springboarded from further elucidation of the role of vascular risk factors, surgical procedures, medications, and neuroimaging studies that are related to this condition. The main focus of this VCI review will highlight the relation of diabetes mellitus and hippocampal dysfunction in VCI; coronary artery bypass surgery a...

Background: Peripheral arterial disease is a source of morbidity and mortality. Surgical vascular reconstruction is a treatment option but probability of failure and complications are important concerns. In this study, we evaluated outcome of surgical infrainguinal reconstruction and factors affecting graft patency for a period of one year. Methods: In this cohort study, 85 consecutive patie...

Training of microvascular anastomosis techniques comprise the major part of surgical skills, necessary for revascularization surgeries. Training can be performed in several stages based on the experience of trainees. This should mainly start with various models of artificial materials that simulate tissues. In the next stage, trainee should practice microsurgical skill on a non-living tissue mo...

UNLABELLED Heart transplantation in patients with increased pulmonary vascular resistance is often associated with postbypass right heart failure. We therefore compared the abilities of prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)) and inhaled nitric oxide to reduce pulmonary vascular resistance during heart transplantation. Patients undergoing orthotopic heart transplantation for congestive heart failure were r...
