The objective of the STRIKE-PE study is to evaluate real-world functional outcomes, safety, and performance of computer-aided mechanical aspiration thrombectomy with the Indigo Aspiration System (Penumbra, Inc., Alameda, CA) for the treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE). The objective of this abstract is to report results from an interim analysis of this study.

Mashup Score: 2Social media and professionalism among surgeons: Who decides what’s right and what’s wrong? - 2 year(s) ago
The use of social media has continued to grow in medicine and surgery and the scholarly evaluation of its role, as well as potential drawbacks, is prudent. We read with interest a recently published article on social media of vascular surgeons.1 As fellow surgeons, social media users, and researchers, we have some concerns regarding the methodology and conduct of the study, the ethics of the…

Mashup Score: 0Endovascular navigation with Fiber Optic RealShape technology - 3 year(s) ago
Fiber Optic RealShape (FORS) technology has recently been introduced as an adjunctive guidance technology that allows real-time three-dimensional visualization of dedicated endovascular devices while avoiding radiation exposure. It consists of equipment which sends pulses of light through hair-thin optical fibers that run within a dedicated hydrophilic wire and selective catheters. The purpose of…

Intra-aortic inferior vena cava (IVC) filter insertion is rare complication, and its natural history is unknown. We present a unique case of an intra-aortic permanent IVC filter remaining asymptomatic 16 years after its placement.

An “intra-aortic” permanent inferior vena cava filter. Just blame the outside hospital.👇🏽 https://t.co/THnHVPcmna

Mashup Score: 2Patient Reported Physical Function as a Preoperative Predictor of Recovery After Vascular Surgery - 3 year(s) ago
Preoperative risk assessment in vascular surgery often relies on the clinical subjectivity of providers and assessment tools with poor discrimination. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) may provide a more objective assessment of an individual’s own health status before surgery and ability to recover after a vascular procedure. We designed this study to determine whether PROMs assessed for…

The Covered vs Balloon Expandable Stent Trial (COBEST) is the first multicenter trial to investigate the patency of covered stents (CSs) and bare-metal stents (BMSs) in the treatment of aortoiliac arterial disease. The short-term results demonstrated that CSs were superior to BMSs in maintaining patency for TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) C and D lesions at 18 months and were…

Mashup Score: 1The Society for Vascular Surgery practice guidelines on the care of patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm - 3 year(s) ago
Decision-making related to the care of patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is complex. Aneurysms present with varying risks of rupture, and patient-specific factors influence anticipated life expectancy, operative risk, and need to intervene. Careful attention to the choice of operative strategy along with optimal treatment of medical comorbidities is critical to achieving excellent…

Mashup Score: 1Outcomes of intramural hematoma involving the ascending aorta and extending into the descending thoracic aorta - 4 year(s) ago
The optimal treatment of intramural hematoma (IMH) involving the ascending aorta remains controversial. This study aimed to analyze the results of the management of patients with acute IMH involving the ascending aorta and extending into the descending thoracic aorta, to compare outcomes of descending thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) with that of medical therapy (MT), and to assess the…

Performance metrics continue to spread through US medicine (30 day readmission rates, post-surgical mortality, etc.). Big potential for unintended consequences for patients, as hospital admins push to meet their metrics. Some examples here: https://t.co/hwkEPghDAl

Mashup Score: 2Venous stenting across the inguinal ligament - 5 year(s) ago
Arterial stenting across joints is not recommended because of increased risk of in-stent focal neointimal hyperplasia and compression or fracture of the stent by joint motion with decreased long-term patency. The aim of this study was to assess the risk of placing stents in the venous system across the inguinal ligament.
Source: Journal of Vascular SurgeryCategories: Latest Headlines, RadiologyTweet-
🟢Stent patency rate is not related to placement across the inguinal ligament, but underlying etiology and whether lesion is occlusive or non-occlusive. Stent placement into a dominant femoral inflow vein is promising in carefully selected patients. https://t.co/aiCZV2Sm9n
