Spatiotemporal patterns and environmental drivers of Physalia physalis strandin...
Carvalho, Patrícia; Cordeiro, Clara; Pereira, Soraia; Santos, Antonina dosPhysalia physalis is a cosmopolitan colonial organism frequently observed in Portuguese waters. The species has long tentacles, provided with cnidocytes, which release a strong poison when in contact with other organisms, and cause skin reactions and severe pain in humans. Events of rapid reproduction, common in these species, may have important economic and social consequences. This study explores for the firs...

Covered versus uncovered stents for malignant superior vena cava syndrome: a sy...
Basilio, Francisco; Coelho, Andreia; Gouveia, Ricardo; Peixoto, João; Fernandes, Luís; Machado, Marta; Carvalho, Patrícia; Guimarães, BeatrizINTRODUCTION: 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 malignant SVC...
Splenic artery aneurysms – a systematic review of the literature
Machado, Marta; Coelho, Andreia; Peixoto, João; Fernandes, Luís; Boal, Roberto; Basílio, Francisco; Carvalho, Patrícia; Guimarães, BeatrizINTRODUCTION: 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 search was...
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, MartaINTRODUCTION: 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: To identif...
Real World Applicability Of Voyager-Pad According To Oac3pad Score
Fernandes, Luís; Silveira, Diogo; Peixoto, João; Machado, Marta; Basílio, Francisco; Carvalho, Patrícia; Guimarães, Beatriz; Canedo, AlexandraIntroduction: Lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular and limb adverse events. Optimal post intervention antithrombotic strategy may significantly impact medium to long-term outcomes. The VOYAGER PAD trial showed a clinical benefit of combining low dose rivaroxaban plus aspirin by reducing cardiovascular and limb major adverse events. However, safety of t...
Ten-Year Experience of a Tertiary Center with Giant Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms:...
Basílio, Francisco; Coelho, Andreia; Peixoto, João; Fernandes, Luís; Boal, Roberto; Machado, Marta; Carvalho, Patrícia; Guimarães, BeatrizIntroduction: The risk of rupture for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is primarily influenced by their diameter with the likelihood of rupture increasing exponentially as the aneurysm enlarges. Nowadays, giant AAAs are relatively rare in clinical practice due to earlier diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to analyze the treatment and prognosis of giant aneurysms comparing with non-giant AAAs within our ...
The influence of treatment decision on compliance with medication for patients ...
Basilio, Francisco; Carvalho, Patrícia; Coelho, Andreia; Gouveia, Ricardo; Peixoto, João; Fernandes, Luís; Machado, Marta; Canedo, AlexandraINTRODUCTION: Treatment decision in patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (ACS) is a matter of current debate with a recent shift towards isolated best medical treatment (BMT) as treatment of choice in most patients. However, poor medical compliance is one of the main constraints to the success of BMT. We hypothesized that more invasive treatment approaches can influence how patients perceive the s...

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, AlexandraINTRODUCTION: 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 long-ter...
