Open repair of type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms: a real-world experien...

INTRODUCTION: Currently, type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA-IV) are treated primarily by endovascular repair. Despite the increased morbidity, there is still a role for open surgery in selected patients. This paper aims to present a descriptive analysis and outcome evaluation of open repair for TAAA-IV in our institution, where endovascular repair is generally the first-line treatment option. METHO...

Impact of the 2022 ATS/ERS update criteria on the bronchodilator responsiveness...

Bronchodilator response (BDR) is a measurement of the degree of volume and airflow improvement in response to an inhaled short-acting bronchodilator. It is widely used in clinical practice to diagnose respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma, to assess asthma control, and predict the response to inhaled treatment.

Prospective validation and usability evaluation of a mobile diagnostic App for ...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) classification relies on polysomnography (PSG) results. Current guidelines recommend the development of clinical prediction algorithms in screening prior to PSG. A recent intuitive and user-friendly tool (OSABayes), based on a Bayesian network model using six clinical variables, has been proposed to quantify the probability of OSA. Our aims are (1) to validate OSABayes prospectivel...

Time goals in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm – the experience of a tertiary...

INTRODUCTION: Guidelines state that ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms should be treated shortly after the diagnosis and ideally within 90 minutes. The main aim of this study is to assess the referral pattern of our centre regarding the intervals between the diagnosis of ruptured AAA and the surgical repair, considering the geographical referral areas of our hospital. METHODS: We conducted an observational, re...

The evolution of management of type B aortic dissection in a series of 100 cons...

Introduction and objectives: Management of aortic dissection is rapidly evolving. The present study aims to assess paradigm shifts in type B aortic dissection (TBAD) treatment modalities and their outcomes according to clinical presentation and type of treatment. We also aim to assess the impact of endovascular technology in TBAD management in order to define organizational strategies to provide an integrated c...

DOUBLE KISSING (DK) CRUSH TECHNIQUE FOR THE TREATMENT OF COMPLEX PERIPHERAL DIS...

Introduction: The treatment of complex arterial lesions with long occlusions and involvement of the bifurcation of the tibial arteries remains a technical challenge in the endovascular area that often culminates in the choice of a conventional surgical alternative. Given the similarities in arterial caliber and necessary material, the adaptation of techniques used in lesions of bifurcations in the coronary circ...

CAMPANHA DE RASTREIO ACÚSTICO “PELAGO-2022” SÉRIE PNAB/DCF – PELAGO (Primavera)

A campanha PELAGO22 decorreu do dia 01 ao 31 de março de 2022, e foi subdividida em duas partes. A primeira, de 01 a 09 de março, foi realizada a bordo do Navio de Investigação Miguel Oliver e a segunda, de 12 a 31 de março, no Navio de Investigação Vizconde de Eza, num total de 24 dias de trabalho no mar. A necessidade de troca de navio, entre as duas partes, deveu-se ao significativo agravamento de falhas elé...
