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...
Frailty and outcomes of vascular access for hemodialysis - a scoping review
Dias,Lara R.; Nóbrega,Leandro; Costa-Pereira,Tiago; Ferreira,Joana; Coentrão,Luís; Mansilha,ArmandoAbstract Introduction: Frailty is an age-related condition related to the decline of physiologic capacity and the increased vulnerability to stressors. It is associated with increased mortality, hospitalizations, and healthcare costs. Dialysis patients, due to age and comorbidities, are especially vulnerable to frailty. The aim of this review was to assess the impact of frailty on outcomes of vascular access fo...
Arterial access complications in patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenat...
Nóbrega,Leandro; Dias,Lara; Moura,Tiago; Dias,Pedro Paz; Sousa,Joel; Roncon,Roberto; Mansilha,ArmandoAbstract Introduction: The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been increasing in recent years. Veno-Arterial ECMO (ECMO-VA) is usually deployed in refractory cardiac failure and is mostly cannulated through the common femoral artery. When present, arterial access complications may have important consequences in these patients. Therefore, this work aims to narratively review the available evid...
Carotid artery stenting and improvement of cognitive function in patients with ...
Jácome,Filipa; Sousa,Joel; Mansilha,ArmandoAbstract 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...
Abdominal compartment syndrome after endovascular treatment of ruptured abdomin...
Pinto,José Oliveira; Sá,Pedro; Sousa,Joel; Mansilha,ArmandoAbstract Introduction: Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), defined as intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) greater than 20 mm Hg that is associated with new organ dysfunction/failure, represents an uncommon but hazardous complication after endovascular aneurysm repair for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (r-EVAR). The aim of this review is to overview incidence, mortality, and potential benefit of expedite treat...
Outcomes of varicose vein surgery in patients with HIV/AIDS - a nested case-con...
Pereira-Neves,António; Domingues-Monteiro,Diogo; Nóbrega,Leandro; Duarte-Gamas,Luís; Cerqueira,Alfredo; Rocha-Neves,João; Oliveira-Pinto,JoséAbstract Introduction: Currently, people living with HIV/ AIDS (PLWHA) attain a life expectancy similar to a non-HIV population. However, these patients experience a status of chronic inflammation, which is a known cause of arteriopathy. Yet, literature is scarce regarding the potential venous inflammatory effect, especially after varicose vein surgery. The aim of this study was to perform a descriptive analysi...
Impact of inflammation on chronic limb-threatening ischaemia
Ferreira,Joana; Cunha,Pedro; Carneiro,Alexandre; Medeiros,Teresa; Longatto-Filho,Adhemar; Mesquita,Amílcar; Correia-Neves,Margarida; Mansilha,ArmandoAbstract Introduction: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects more than 202 million people worldwide, 1.3% of which with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI). PAD is associated with an elevated mortality and morbidity. However, the evolution from claudication or from asymptomatic PAD to CLTI is not completely understood and cardiovascular risk factors are unable to fully explain it. The aim of this oppo...

Importance of AAA size as a predictor of complications after EVAR
Oliveira-Pinto,José; Soares-Ferreira,Rita; Oliveira,Nelson; Sousa,Joel; Bastos-Gonçalves,Frederico; Leite-Moreira,Adelino; Mansilha,ArmandoIntroduction: EVAR represents the preferred modality for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) repair. However, a comprehension regarding its limits is paramount to avoid future complications. AAA sac diameter has been described as a relevant risk factor for late complications. The purpose of this study is to summarize relevant findings regarding the association between AAA diameter and AAA-related complications. Me...
