Covered versus uncovered stents for malignant superior vena cava syndrome: a sy...
Basilio, Francisco; Coelho, Andreia; Gouveia, Ricardo; Peixoto, João; Fernandes, Luís; Machado, Marta; Carvalho, Patrícia; Guimarães, BeatrizINTRODUCTION: 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 malignant SVC...
Splenic artery aneurysms – a systematic review of the literature
Machado, Marta; Coelho, Andreia; Peixoto, João; Fernandes, Luís; Boal, Roberto; Basílio, Francisco; Carvalho, Patrícia; Guimarães, BeatrizINTRODUCTION: 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 search was...
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, MartaINTRODUCTION: 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: To identif...
Real World Applicability Of Voyager-Pad According To Oac3pad Score
Fernandes, Luís; Silveira, Diogo; Peixoto, João; Machado, Marta; Basílio, Francisco; Carvalho, Patrícia; Guimarães, Beatriz; Canedo, AlexandraIntroduction: Lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular and limb adverse events. Optimal post intervention antithrombotic strategy may significantly impact medium to long-term outcomes. The VOYAGER PAD trial showed a clinical benefit of combining low dose rivaroxaban plus aspirin by reducing cardiovascular and limb major adverse events. However, safety of t...
The influence of treatment decision on compliance with medication for patients ...
Basilio, Francisco; Carvalho, Patrícia; Coelho, Andreia; Gouveia, Ricardo; Peixoto, João; Fernandes, Luís; Machado, Marta; Canedo, AlexandraINTRODUCTION: Treatment decision in patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (ACS) is a matter of current debate with a recent shift towards isolated best medical treatment (BMT) as treatment of choice in most patients. However, poor medical compliance is one of the main constraints to the success of BMT. We hypothesized that more invasive treatment approaches can influence how patients perceive the s...
State of the art on restenosis after carotid artery stenting: incidence, risk f...
Fernandes, Luís D.; Coelho, Andreia B.; Peixoto, João P.; Machado, Marta M.; Basílio, Francisco; Carvalho, Patrícia; Silveira, Diogo; Canedo, AlexandraINTRODUCTION: Carotid revascularization is a well-established technique for preventing stroke in patients with significant symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has become an alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA), especially in high-risk surgical patients. However, restenosis after CAS is a potentially severe complication that can impact the medium and long-ter...
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, AlexandraINTRODUCTION: 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 systemati...
Treatment Strategies And Outcomes Of Thoracic Aortic Blunt Injuries In Adults: ...
Fernandes, Luís; Silveira, Diogo; Peixoto, João; Machado, Marta; Basílio, Francisco; Carvalho, Patrícia; Canedo, AlexandraIntroduction: Blunt thoracic aortic injuries (BTAI) once had mortality rates up to 32%, but the advent of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has significantly improved outcomes. However, concerns persist regarding long-term devicerelated complications, device integrity in aging aortas, and the criteria for selecting patients for endovascular repair. We aimed to assess BTAI treatment strategies based on...

O objetivo desta revisão foi padronizar a marcha diagnóstica, tratamento e vigilância de doentes com suspeita de doença quística adventicial venosa. MÉTODO: Para cumprir os objetivos supracitados, uma revisão narrativa sumarizando os principais a...
An unusual cause of haematuria - case report
Peixoto, João; Brandão, Pedro; Semião, Carolina; Fernandes, Luis; Canedo, AlexandraINTRODUCTION: The development of a uretero-arterial fistula (UAF) is a rare and life-threatening condition. Owing to its low prevalence, diagnosis and management remains a challenge for both urologists and vascular surgeons and UAF’s high mortality rates may be at least partially attributed to delayed diagnosis. We present a case of UAF in a patient with previous pelvic surgery and indwelling ureter catheter. C...
