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 EmíliaAbstract Introduction: 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 pre...
Chronic limb-threatening ischemia under the age of 50 - a single-center 12-year...
Gueifão,Inês; Quintas,Anita; Ferreira,Rita Soares; Pais,Fábio; Ribeiro,Tiago; Cardoso,Joana; Fidalgo,Helena; Ferreira,Maria EmíliaAbstract Introduction: 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...
The role of femoropopliteal calcification pattern on outcomes after endovascula...
Araújo,Gonçalo; Correia,Ricardo; Ribeiro,Tiago; Cardoso,Joana; Fidalgo,Helena; Tavares,Carolina; Ferreira,Maria EmíliaAbstract Introduction: Peripheral arterial calcification is typically most prominent in the femoropopliteal (FP) segment, and its effect on endovascular treatment (EVT) processes and outcomes is poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the pattern of FP calcification on EVT outcomes. Methods: We designed a retrospective, single-center, comparative study. From January 2023 to February 2024, ...
Assistência à pessoa idosa com 80 e mais anos no serviço de urgência: perspetiv...
Pina,Fernando; Cardoso,Joana; Vicente,João; Esteves,Madalena; Ribeiro,Olivério; Bica,Isabel; Cunha,MadalenaResumo Introdução: O aumento da esperança média de vida da população tem-se refletido significativamente na acentuada taxa de envelhecimento e no aumento da prevalência de doenças crónicas, levando a um aumento da afluência aos Serviços de Urgência, pela pessoa idosa com 80 e mais anos. Objetivo: Identificar os motivos das idas às urgências por parte da pessoa idosa, tendo em conta a perspetiva dos profissionai...
Diagnosis and predictors of post-implantation syndrome following endovascular r...
Ribeiro,Tiago F.; Ferreira,Rita Soares; Bento,Rita; Pais,Fabio; Cardoso,Joana; Gonçalves,Frederico Bastos; Amaral,Carlos; Ferreira,Maria EmíliaAbstract Introduction: 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 pre...
Fenestrated Physician-Modified Endografts (PMEGs) - a viable option for urgent ...
Bento,Rita; Alves,Gonçalo; Rodrigues,Gonçalo; Garcia,Rita; Ribeiro,Tiago; Cardoso,Joana; Ferreira,Rita Soares; Ferreira,Maria EmíliaAbstract Introduction: Fenestrated and branched stent graft technology has come a long way over the past few years, enabling the treatment of complex juxtarenal aneurysms, thoracoabdominal aneurysms, and arch pathologies. Many innovations have been developed, namely device and delivery optimization and technical tricks. These concepts have proven to work well when there is sufficient time to plan and manufactur...
Estudo Prospetivo de Sequelas Pulmonares em Doentes Hospitalizados por COVID-19...
Rocha,Diana Isabel; Chan,Sónia; Novo,Ana; Cardoso,Joana; Cruz,Ana Rita; Silva,AndréResumo Introdução: A evidência atual parece sugerir a persistência de sequelas multissistémicas a longo prazo nos sobreviventes à COVID-19. É ainda incerta qual a evolução da sintomatologia após a fase aguda, bem como o seu impacto real. Métodos: Este trabalho observacional prospetivo teve início na primeira fase da pandemia em Portugal, e procurou acompanhar doentes hospitalizados com COVID-19 durante dois ano...
Octopus endograft technique in complex aortic pathologies - a retrospective sin...
Ribeiro,Tiago F.; Ferreira,Rita Soares; Garcia,Rita; Bento,Rita; Pais,Fábio; Cardoso,Joana; Gonçalves,Frederico Bastos; Ferreira,Maria EmíliaAbstract Introduction: Fenestrated/branched EVAR (f/bEVAR) are associated with lower peri-operative major complications, when compared to open repair in complex aortic pathologies. However, f/bEVAR is limited by the waiting time for customized graft production and has specific anatomic limitations. Alternatively, adapting outside instructions-for-use, readily available off-the-shelf devices has been used with v...
Evolução dos Acufenos em doentes com Surdez Súbita submetidos a Oxigenoterapia ...
Teles,Sofia; Freitas,Luís; Bernardo,Guilherme; Cardoso,Joana; Menezes,José; Amaro,CarlaResumo Introdução: A surdez neuro-sensorial súbita está associada a acufenos em até 90% dos casos. Os acufenos constituem uma queixa subjetiva, tornando a sua avaliação difícil. A oxigenoterapia hiperbárica (OHB) é utilizada como terapêutica adjuvante nos casos refratários ou com resposta parcial a corticoterapia sistémica, mas o seu efeito no acufeno acompanhante está pouco estudado. Objectivos: Avaliar o efei...
Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection in vascular surgery patients
Garcia,Rita C.; Gonçalves,Frederico Bastos; Garcia,Teresa; Ferreira,Rita Soares; Catarino,Joana; Vieira,Isabel; Correia,Ricardo; Bento,Ana RitaAbstract Introduction: Surgical site infections are associated with devastating consequences in vascular surgery patients but the data on Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection among those remains scant and conflicting. Most vascular surgery antibiotic prophylaxis assume that all patients submitted to surgery are tested prior to the intervention or that all patients with risk factors for M...
