Comparing outcomes after open and endovascular chronic mesenteric ischemia reva...
Fidalgo, Helena; Ribeiro, Tiago; Pais, Fábio; Cardoso, Joana; Tavares, Carolina; Correia, Ricardo; Gonçalves, Daniela; Ferreira, Maria EmíliaINTRODUCTION: Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a rare but life-threatening disease. This study aimed to analyze the safety and effectiveness of open (OR) and endovascular (ER) revascularization and respective outcomes in a consecutive series of CMI patients. METHODS: From 2013 to 2023, all CMI patients treated with OR and ER were retrospectively identified. Demographics, comorbidities, clinical presentation...
Chronic limb-threatening ischemia under the age of 50 – a single-center 12-year...
Gueifão, Inês; Quintas, Anita; Soares Ferreira, Rita; Pais, Fábio; Ribeiro, Tiago; Cardoso, Joana; Fidalgo, Helena; Ferreira, Maria EmíliaINTRODUCTION: Premature peripheral artery disease (PAD), defined as occurring before or at the age of 50, is a poorly studied subset of PAD due to its low incidence. It has been associated with a higher risk of progression to chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), major adverse limb events and mortality. Etiology is multifactorial, with genetics and environmental causes at play, with the most common risk fac...
Unfractionated Heparin in Ruptured Aortic Aneurysms – Narrative Review
F. Ribeiro, Tiago; Correia, Ricardo; Bento, Rita; Pais, Fábio; Soares Ferreira, Rita; Bastos Gonçalves, Frederico; Amaral, CarlosINTRODUCTION: Portuguese estimates point out that nearly 20% of aortic aneurysms are treated in a ruptured setting, with in-hospital mortality reaching up to 50%. Although unfractionated heparin (UFH) is routine during elective surgery, this technical point is debatable when treating ruptured aneurysms. The authors aimed to review the literature on the topic of intraoperative heparinization with UFH within the ...

Diagnosis and Predictors of Post-Implantation Syndrome Following Endovascular R...
F. Ribeiro, Tiago; Soares Ferreira, Rita; Bento, Rita; Pais, Fábio; Cardoso, Joana; Bastos Gonçalves, Frederico; Amaral, Carlos; Ferreira, Maria EmiliaINTRODUCTION: After endovascular aortic repair (EVAR), many patients develop a systemic inflammatory response called post-implantation syndrome (PIS). AAA and procedure-related characteristics have been linked with increased odds of developing this syndrome. Similarly, some short- and long-term consequences have been associated with PIS. This study aims to review the literature on the diagnosis and predictors o...

Vascular Surgery Procedures Performed By Residents. A Narrative Review On The I...
Ribeiro, Tiago; Soares Ferreira, Rita; Bento, Rita; Pais, Fábio; Cardoso, Joana; Fidalgo, Helena; Figueiredo, Adriana; Ferreira, Maria EmíliaIntroduction: Worldwide, there is an increase in scrutiny after surgical treatment of a vast array of pathologies. Doing so, a large body of evidence clearly supports centralisation, such as teaching hospitals, where a larger caseload enables optimal outcomes. These institutions have a strong presence of surgical residents seeking training in both technical and non-technical skills. Inevitably, as part of train...
Secondary aortoenteric fistula after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair – a na...
Gueifão, Inês; Quintas, Anita; Alves, Gonçalo; Ribeiro, Tiago; Pais, Fábio; Henrique, Alberto; Ferreira, Maria EmíliaINTRODUCTION: Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) has become the technique of choice in most vascular centres for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). However, due to its low incidence, literature regarding secondary aortoenteric fistula (AEF) as an EVAR complication is still scarce. We aim to summarise the latest evidence on the topic through a narrative review. METHODS: We conducted a MEDLINE literature search and...
Clinical outcomes after vena cava thrombectomy for renal cell carcinoma with ve...
Pais, Fábio; Aragão de Morais, José; Quintas, Ana; Soares Ferreira, Rita; Catarino, Joana; Correia, Ricardo; Bento, Rita; Garcia, RitaINTRODUCTION: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) frequently progress to involve the inferior vena cava (IVC) and even the right atrium (RA). Nephrectomy and eradication of the tumour thrombus, can extend survival and prevent symptoms of venous congestion. The authors evaluated the institutional experience of a tertiary center in the surgical management of RCC patients with tumour thrombi invading the IVC. METHODS: Retr...
