Jejunal Artery Aneurysm Exclusion With Immediate Vascular Reconstruction: A Cas...

A 44 year-old previously healthy woman presented a persistent epigastric pain. Computed tomography revealed a saccular aneurysm with a diameter of 25x20 mm in the first jejunal artery and also a stenosis in the celiac trunk associated with median arcuate ligament syndrome, turning the hepatic perfusion dependent of the gastroduodenal artery flow. Through a midline laparotomy, celiac axis was exposed, and median...

Carotid artery stenting and improvement of cognitive function in patients with ...

INTRODUCTION: Several studies unveiled an association between asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis and cognitive impairment, questioning the “asymptomatic” nature of carotid stenosis. Although there is increasing evidence of the impact of carotid artery stenting (CAS) on cognition, the current literature still contains some unclear data and conflicting results. This study aimed to examine the impact of CAS on v...

Impact Of Open And Endovascular Caseload In Lower Limb Amputation In Portugal –...

Objectives: Effective revascularization is the cornerstone of limb salvage in chronic limb threatening ischemia. In recent years, less invasive endovascular revascularization techniques have supplanted surgical bypass as the primary mode of revascularization. The real impact of this transition is being increasingly questioned. This study aims to evaluate the endovascular evolution, and how it impacted the amput...

Imaging Red Flags In A Symptomatic Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Human immunodeficiency virus and carotid artery disease – single center experie...

INTRODUCTION: People infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) - People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) - seem to have an increased risk of incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, namely stroke of ischemic nature. Additional etiological mechanisms, in addition to aging, appear to lie in chronic virus-mediated inflammation as well as in antiretroviral therapy (ART). The aim of this study was...

The Effect of Contralateral Carotid Occlusion in Patients Undergoing Carotid Ar...

INTRODUCTION: Contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) is considered a high-risk condition for patients undergoing carotid artery endarterectomy (CEA). Patients with a CCO may be intolerant to carotid cross-clamping during CEA, thus prone to postoperative adverse neurological outcomes. Patients with CCO may also have a higher burden of atherosclerotic disease, leading to a higher rate of cardiovascular events. MET...

Reintervention after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair – who is to blame?

Introduction: Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (EVAR) is often recommended as first option for patients with suitable abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) anatomy. Nevertheless, this treatment carries higher reintervention rates and possibly higher aneurysm and all cause-related mortality in the long run versus open surgery. This narrative review aims to convey recent data about surveillance and the ...

Contralateral carotid stenosis is a predictor of long-term adverse events in ca...

Contralateral carotid stenosis (cICS) has been described as a perioperative predictor of mortality after carotid endarterectomy (CEA). However, its predictive value on long-term cardiovascular events remains controversial. The study aims to assess the potential role of cICS as a long-term predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients who underwent CEA. From January 2012 to July 2020, patie...

MORTALITY SCORES IN SURGICAL CORRECTION OF ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM IN RUPTURE

Introduction: Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm’s treatment relies on the emergent surgery, considering preoperative prognosis. There are several scores that estimate perioperative mortality of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, however, the accuracy of such algorithms in some populations remains unknown. Objective: Compare the prognostic validity of the Weingarten score with the Glasgow Aneurysm Score and th...

Questionário de Expectativas de Papel de Género Face à Dor: Estudo psicométrico...

O presente artigo visa a tradução e adaptação do questionário Gender Role Expectations of Pain (GREP; Robinson et al., 2001) numa amostra da população portuguesa. O GREP avalia as expectativas de papel de género face a três dimensões da experiência de dor: 1) sensibilidade; 2) tolerância; e 3) disposição para expressar dor. Para cada uma destas dimensões os indivíduos avaliam: 1) as percepções estereotípicas (h...
