Covered versus uncovered stents for malignant superior vena cava syndrome: a sy...
Basílio,Francisco; Coelho,Andreia; Gouveia,Ricardo; Peixoto,João; Fernandes,Luís; Machado,Marta; Carvalho,Patrícia; Guimarães,Beatriz; Canedo,AlexandraAbstract Introduction: In recent years, endovascular stenting has emerged as a promising palliative therapeutic modality for carefully selected patients with Superior Vena Cava Syndrome (SVCS) secondary to intra-thoracic malignancies. However, a lack of data hinders procedure standardization, particularly regarding the dichotomy of covered versus uncovered stents. This study aims to compare the outcomes of mali...
High-dependency unit care after carotid endarterectomy for asymptomatic stenosis
Guimarães,Beatriz; Coelho,Andreia; Dias-Neto,Marina; Castro-Ferreira,Ricardo; Peixoto,João; Fernandes,Luís; Boal,Roberto; Machado,MartaAbstract Introduction: Asymptomatic patients benefit from 3 to 6 hours of neurological and invasive blood pressure (BP) monitoring following carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Only a minority of patients will benefit from a prolonged stay in a high-dependency unit (HDU). The aim of this study was to externally validate previously described predictive variables of postoperative need for prolonged HDU stay. Methods: T...
Splenic artery aneurysms - a systematic review of the literature
Machado,Marta; Coelho,Andreia; Peixoto,João; Fernandes,Luís; Boal,Roberto; Basílio,Francisco; Carvalho,Patrícia; Guimarães,Beatriz; Brandão,PedroAbstract Introduction: Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) are the most frequent (50 to 75%) abdominal visceral arterial aneurysms. In autopsy studies, the overall incidence is 0.01%, increasing to 10.4% with age. Due to their rarity, there is a lack of data, so we aimed to perform a systematic review of available SAA data.. Methods: A systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. A literature ...
State of the art on restenosis after carotid artery stenting: incidence, risk f...
Fernandes,Luís D.; Coelho,Andreia B.; Peixoto,João P.; Machado,Marta M.; Basílio,Francisco; Carvalho,Patrícia; Silveira,Diogo; Canedo,AlexandraAbstract Introduction: Carotid revascularization is a well-established technique for preventing stroke in patients with significant symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has become an alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA), especially in high-risk surgical patients. However, restenosis after CAS is a potentially severe complication that can impact the medium and...
Endovascular treatment versus open surgery for iliac artery aneurysms: a system...
Machado,Marta; Coelho,Andreia; Peixoto,João; Fernandes,Luís; Basílio,Francisco; Carvalho,Patrícia; Brandão,Pedro; Canedo,AlexandraAbstract Introduction: Due to their relative rarity, the natural history of iliac artery aneurysms and treatment outcomes are poorly understood. However, IAA treatment has evolved, and nowadays, there are a variety of open surgery, endovascular therapy, and hybrid options. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of endovascular treatment versus open surgery for patients with iliac artery aneurysms. Methods: A ...

Aortoiliac occlusive disease: open or endo? - a narrative review
Semião,Ana Carolina; Nogueira,Clara; Coelho,Andreia; Peixoto,João; Fernandes,Luís; Machado,Marta; Basílio,Francisco; Canedo,AlexandraAbstract Introduction: Aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) can be treated using either open surgical revascularization (OSR) or endovascular revascularization (ER). Methods: A Medline search was performed in order to identify articles focused on the treatment of aortoiliac occlusive disease. Additional articles of scientific interest for the purpose of this non-systematic review were included by cross-referenci...
Predictive factors of venous stenting failure: a systematic review
Semião,Ana Carolina; Nogueira,Clara; Coelho,Andreia; Peixoto,João; Fernandes,Luís; Machado,Marta; Basílio,Francisco; Canedo,AlexandraAbstract Objective: Venous stenting of iliocaval obstructions has become a more frequent procedure over the last two decades. In-stent stenosis and thrombosis are potential complications, causing one of the main causes of symptoms recurrence and impacting quality of life. The aim of this review is to report on the impact of venous stent patency loss, as well on risk factors and management. Methods: A systematic...
