A prática de atividade física regular é determinante para a promoção da saúde, prevenção de doenças e para a reabilitação da pessoa. Enquanto agentes da saúde no combate à inatividade física, os enfermeiros beneficiam de currículos académicos enriquecidos sobre a atividade física e o exercício físico para promover a literacia física da população. Objetivo: mapear unidades curriculares e conteúdos programáticos ...
Background: regular physical activity is essential for health promotion, disease prevention, and individual rehabilitation. As health professionals involved in combating physical inactivity, nurses benefit from academic curricula enriched with content on physical activity and exercise in order to enhance the population’s physical literacy. Objective: to map course units and programmatic content related to physi...
INTRODUÇÃO: A disseção aórtica aguda tipo B (DAAB) é uma síndrome aórtica aguda que apresenta elevada taxa de mortalidade. Atualmente, na fase aguda, preconiza-se o tratamento médico nos casos de DAAB não complicada, ficando a cirurgia reservada para os casos de DAAB complicada (rutura, síndrome de malperfusão, dor/hipertensão ref ratária, expansão rápida ou progressão proximal/distal). A cirur...
Endovascular treatment of descending thoracic aortic aneurysms (DTAA) is associated with low rates of morbimortality and is currently the first line of therapeutic intervention. Endoleaks are a well-known complication of this technique, with the consensus that the identification of type I endoleak implies its prompt correction. We present the case of a patient who underwent TEVAR for the treatment of DTAA, with...
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, with a fu...
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 endovascular ...
Background: Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) is a multisystemic autoimmune disease characterized by arterial and venous thrombosis and / or obstetric morbidity in the presence of at least one circulating anti-phospholipid antibody. The spectrum of vascular events varies from deep venous thrombosis to catastrophic APS, a rare form characterized by acute multiorgan thrombosis and high mortality. Case report: We pr...
Introduction: The presence of multiple renal vessels is frequent in the general population and, when present in a donor, increases the complexity of renal transplantation surgery, increasing the risk of complications. Although transplantation of cadaver donor grafts with these characteristics is accepted, the same procedure in living donor remains controversial. The objective of this work is to present th...
With the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in early 2020, health services and personnel adapted their resources to mitigate and control the outbreak. These needs inevitably led to adaptations in most medical and surgical departments, including in our Vascular Surgery department. As we are facing a second outbreak of this pandemic, with unpredictable outcomes and repercussions in health services, it is crucial to...
