Risk factors for type 2 endoleak following endovascular aneurysm repair of abdo...
Silva,Eduardo; Constâncio-Oliveira,Vânia; Nunes,Celso; Baldaia,Leonor; Castro,Miguel; Orelhas,Luís; Carmona,Maria; Moreira,Joana; Fonseca,ManuelAbstract Introduction: Type 2 endoleaks (T2EL) are common complications following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), potentially leading to adverse outcomes such as aneurysm sac growth and reintervention. Although current guidelines recommend surveillance and conservative management for most T2EL cases, there's growing interest in prophylactic measures, including embolization of lumbar (LA) and inferior mesen...
Carotid revascularization for ocular ischemic syndrome - a systematic review
Baldaia,Leonor; Silva,Miguel; Silva,Eduardo; Nunes,Celso; Orelhas,Luís; Carmona,Maria; Antunes,Luís F.; Fonseca,ManuelAbstract Introduction: The link between extracranial carotid artery disease and visual symptoms is well-established, with amaurosis fugax as a precursor to retinal transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). The presence of cholesterol emboli and fibrin-platelet aggregates in retinal circulation has shown carotid plaque embolization leading to TIAs and strokes. However, not all visual symptoms are embolism related. Ocul...
Blunt traumatic injuries of thoracic aorta, a retrospective study
Baldaia,Leonor; Antunes,Luís F.; Silva,Miguel; Silva,Eduardo; Nunes,Celso; Oliveira,Vânia C.; Silva,Joana; Fonseca,ManuelAbstract Introduction: Blunt thoracic aortic injuries (BTAI) are defined as a tear in the thoracic aorta caused by a high energy blunt trauma with sudden deceleration and increased intravascular pressure. The most common reported mechanism of injury is motor vehicle accidents, and it can be potentially lethal. The purpose of this study was to analyze and report our center’s experience in the treatment of blunt ...
Sex disparities in peripheral arterial occlusive disease
Baldaia,Leonor; Antunes,Luís F.; Silva,Cândida G.; Silva,Miguel; Silva,Eduardo; Nunes,Celso; Constâncio,Vânia; Fonseca,ManuelAbstract Introduction: Recently published studies on peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) have revealed marked sex disparities in patient selection and treatment outcomes. In a recent retrospective study with data from 11 different countries, Portugal was highlighted as one of the countries with greater sex discrepancies related to PAOD treatment. We aimed to analyze sex specific differences in the trea...
Blunt traumatic injuries of thoracic aorta and supra-aortic trunks - a narrativ...
Baldaia,Leonor; Antunes,Luís F.; Silva,Miguel; Silva,Eduardo; Nunes,Celso; Oliveira,Vânia C.; Silva,Joana; Fonseca,ManuelAbstract Introduction: Blunt thoracic aortic injuries (BTAI) are defined as a tear in the thoracic aorta caused by a high energy blunt trauma. The most common reported mechanism of injury is motor vehicle accidents, and it can be potentially lethal. The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) and the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) guidelines recommend thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) as the ...
Internal carotid artery trauma due to elongated styloid process - a review of c...
Nunes,Celso M.D.; Sousa,Juliana; Silva,Joana; Constâncio,Vânia; Silva,Eduardo; Baldaia,Leonor; Silva,MiguelAbstract Introduction: Stylocarotid syndrome is caused by the conflict between the styloid process and the vascular structures leading to carotid artery dissection (CAD) or compression. Being headache the most common initial symptom in patients with spontaneous CAD, eagle syndrome could be one explanation for some so-called spontaneous dissections since this symptom is also common in this syndrome. Methods: Afr...
Impact of Charlson Comorbidity Index adjusted to age in prognosis after endovas...
Oliveira,Vânia Constâncio; Silva,Joana Cruz; Silva,Eduardo; Nunes,Celso; Castro,Miguel; Baldaia,Leonor; Pereira,Ricardo Vale; Fonseca,ManuelAbstract Background: Individualized risk assessment using comorbidity adjustment is an important component in modern clinical practice and can be performed considering individual comorbidities or through the use of summary measures. The Charlson Comorbidity Index adjusted to age (CCIa) is the most widely validated and used comorbidity assessment tool. Studies have proved CCIa as a strong predictor of mortality ...
