Epidemiology of Aortic Dissections - Understanding the Aortic Catastrophe
Melo,Ryan Gouveia e; Fernandes,Ruy Fernandes e; Caldeira,Daniel; Lopes,Alice; Henriques,Mickael; Magalhães,Tiago; Pedro,Luís MendesAbstract Acute aortic dissections are unpredictable aortic catastrophes. Although significant recent improvements have been accomplished in the treatment and management of aortic dissections, a significant amount is still not fully understood regarding this deadly condition. Comprehension of aortic dissections is especially important due to the impact of the disease, since a lot of patients die before reaching ...
Prevalence of asymptomatic visceral occlusive disease in patients admitted for ...
Melo,Ryan Gouveia e; Fernandes,Ruy Fernandes e; Henriques,Mickael; Garrido,Pedro; Magalhães,Tiago; Pedro,Luís MendesAbstract Introduction: Occlusive disease of the visceral vessels, when complicated, may lead to a high mortality rate. Current data regarding the co-prevalence of atherosclerotic disease of the lower limbs and visceral vessels is scarce. The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of splanchnic and renal visceral occlusive disease in patients admitted for chronic lower limb ischemia (CLLI). Methods: A c...
Out of hospital cardiac arrests and aortic dissection
Melo,Ryan Gouveia e; Fernandes,Ruy Fernandes e; Caldeira,Daniel; Lopes,Alice; Henriques,Mickael; Magalhães,Tiago; Pedro,Luís MendesAbstract Introduction: Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) is one of the main causes of death worldwide. Most of the intrinsic causes of OHCA tend to be of cardiac origin, however, non-cardiac etiologies such as acute aortic dissection (AAD) may be more common than previously thought. The aim of this focused review is to summarize current knowledge on the association between OHCA and AAD. Methods: A systemati...
Endovascular management of transplant renal artery stenosis: early and mid-term...
Pinto,Vanda; Lopez,Noélia; Cardoso,Ana; Henriques,Mickael; Silva,Emanuel; Silvestre,Luís; Baptista,Lucas; Guerra,José; Pedro,Luís MendesAbstract Objective: Renal graft dysfunction or worsened hypertension in renal transplanted patients may be a manifestation of graft hypoperfusion due to transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) or stenosis of iliac arteries proximal to renal transplant (pseudo-TRAS). Endovascular management of TRAS has been increasingly used to preserve renal graft function. With this study, we aim to evaluate the impact of endo...

Estes ajustes repercutiram-se inevitavelmente na dinâmica da maioria dos serviços hospitalares, nomeadamente no nosso serviço de Cirurgia Vascular. Perante a previsível chegada de uma segunda vaga na Europa e em Portugal, com de...
Proximal extension of juxta-renal aortic thrombosis: an underestimated complica...
Henriques,Mickael; Ministro,Augusto; Silva,Emanuel; Pinto,Vanda; Rato,João; Pedro,Luís MendesAbstract Aorto-iliac occlusive disease sometimes extends proximally with involvement of the renal arteries and visceral aorta, with loss of renal functional mass and intestinal ischemia. In this article we report the case of a patient presenting with progressive disabling intermittent claudication caused by chronic juxtarenal aortic thrombosis with proximal progression and involvement of the left renal artery, ...
Cirurgia híbrida na rotura contida de aneurisma torácico: uma alternativa efica...
Pinto,Vanda; Ministro,Augusto; Henriques,Mickael; Rodrigues,Marta; Melo,Ryan; Silva,Emanuel; Pedro,Luís MendesResumo O tratamento endovascular dos aneurismas da aorta torácica descendente (AATD) está associado a baixas taxas de morbi-mortalidade e é atualmente a primeira linha de intervenção terapêutica.. Os endoleaks são uma complicação bem conhecida desta técnica, sendo consensual que a identificação de endoleak tipo I implica a sua correção celere. Apresentamos o caso de uma doente submetida a TEVAR para tratamento ...
