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 ...
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 ...
Results of the first 1000 infra-renal aortic aneurysms included in the Portugue...
Nogueira,Clara; Coelho,Andreia; Melo,Ryan Gouveia e; Gonçalves,Frederico Bastos; Pedro,Luís MendesAbstract Introduction: The Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) module of the Portuguese National Vascular Registry (RNPV) is a prospective, voluntary, population-based registry, that encompasses more than 90% of portuguese vascular departments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of the first 1000 infra-renal AAA included in the Portuguese RNPV. Methods: Data were collected from November 2019 to Decem...
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...
Retrograde approach: going further in endovascular techniques dedicated to crit...
Augusto,Rita; Campos,Jacinta; Coelho,Andreia; Coelho,Nuno; Pinto,Evelise; Semião,Carolina; Ribeiro,João; Peixoto,João; Brandão,Daniel; Canedo,AlexandraIntroduction: Endovascular techniques have been revolutionizing the revascularization of patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI), showing consistently high limb salvage rates. However, endovascular recanalization of infrapopliteal occlusive disease can be technically demanding and the failure rate for these types of lesions is about 20%. In that case, an alternative vascular access may be require...
Abordagem endovascular de aneurismas viscerais - experiência de um centro
Coelho,Nuno Henriques; Campos,Jacinta; Coelho,Andreia; Augusto,Rita; Semião,Carolina; Pinto,Evelise; Ribeiro,João; Peixoto,João; Martins,VictorIntrodução: Ao longo da última década, a abordagem endovascular tem assumido um papel preponderante no tratamento dos aneurismas das artérias viscerais (AAVs). Esta mudança de paradigma tem em conta a eficácia, a segurança e o facto de o tratamento endovascular ser menos invasivo quando comparada com a cirurgia clássica. Reportamos a experiência do nosso centro no tratamento endovascular de AAVs. Métodos: Revim...
Parallel graft technique: an alternative procedure to treat the aortic arch
Augusto,Rita; Campos,Jacinta; Coelho,Andreia; Coelho,Nuno; Pinto,Evelise; Semião,Carolina; Ribeiro,João; Peixoto,João; Brandão,Daniel; Canedo,AlexandraTreatment of aortic pathologies involving the aortic arch represents a great challenge for vascular surgeons. Endografting techniques, comparing to open surgery, are less invasive approaches. However, an adequate proximal landing zone remains a challenge and, regarding this issue, parallel graft techniques represent a viable endovascular treatment option in patients with challenging aortic arch pathology by ext...
