Arterial access complications in patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenat...
Nóbrega, Leandro; Dias, Lara; Moura, Tiago; Paz Dias, Pedro; Sousa, Joel; Roncon, Roberto; Mansilha, ArmandoINTRODUCTION: 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 evidence rega...
Carotid artery stenting and improvement of cognitive function in patients with ...
Jácome, Filipa; Sousa, Joel; Mansilha, ArmandoINTRODUCTION: 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 CAS on v...
Spontaneous isolated celiac and splenic artery dissection
Brandão, Daniel; Barreto, Paulo; Ferreira, Joana; Lopes, José; Sousa, Joel; Mansilha, ArmandoINTRODUCTION: Spontaneous isolated visceral artery dissection is a quite rare condition and designates a dissection that originates in the visceral artery itself with no involvement of the aorta. The objective of this revision article is to summarize the current evidence on this rare pathology. METHODS: A non-systematic literature search was performed using the PubMed database. Only English literature was consi...
Results of the first 1000 infra-renal aortic aneurysms included in the Portugue...
Nogueira, Clara; Coelho, Andreia; Gouveia e Melo, Ryan; Bastos Gonçalves, Frederico; Mendes Pedro, Luís; Quintas, Anita; Vaz, Carolina; Brandão, DanielINTRODUCTION: The Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) module of the Portuguese National Vascular Registry (RNPV) is a prospective, voluntary, population-based registry, that encompasses more than 90% of portuguese vascular departments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of the first 1000 infra-renal AAA included in the Portuguese RNPV. METHODS: Data were collected from November 2019 to December 2022 ...
CLINICAL AND MUTATIONAL ANALYSIS OF A COHORT OF PORTUGUESE PATIENTS WITH PARAGA...
Rodrigues, Roger; R. Almeida, Maria; Carreiro, João; Assunção, António; Braga, Sandrina; Sousa, Joel; Camacho, Nelson; Garrido, Pedro; Maia, MiguelIntroduction: Representing 0.03% of all tumors, paragangliomas (PGLs) are extremely rare. During the past 15 years, there has been a significant progress in the knowledge of the genetics of PGLs. Germline mutations in succinate dehy- drogenase (SDH) genes are the commonest genetic cause of PGL. Objective: Given the high clinical relevance of the SDH status, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic val...
Abdominal compartment syndrome after endovascular treatment of ruptured abdomin...
Oliveira Pinto, José; Sá, Pedro; Sousa, Joel; Mansilha, ArmandoINTRODUCTION Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), defined as intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) greater than 20 mm Hg that is associated with new organ dysfunction/failure, represents na 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 treatment of ACS...
THE FIRST YEAR OF THE ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM MODULE OF THE PORTUGUESE NATION...
Bastos Goncalves, Frederico; Menezes, José Daniel; Mansilha, Armando; Vieira, Mário; Sousa, Joel; Quintas, Anita; Vaz, Carolina; Brandão, DanielIntroduction: Clinical registries are fundamental tools to understand the reality and audit the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The Portuguese Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery, promotor of the National Registry of Vascular Procedures (RNPV), has developed a AAA module that started in December 2019. The objective of this report is to present data of the first year of the AAA module from P...
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...
STANDARD EVAR IN LARGE NECKS — IS IT A REASONABLE SOLUTION?
Oliveira-Pinto, José; Ferreira, Rita Soares; Oliveira, Nélson; Sousa, Joel; Gonçalves, Frederico Bastos; Moreira, Adelino Leite; Mansilha, ArmandoIntroduction: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has expanded into progressively more challenging anatomies. Proximal neck-morphology represents the major determinant of EVAR durability. Neck-diameter constitutes one of the most important anatomical neck features and influence proximal sealing over time.The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of wide proximal necks on outcome after standard E...
THE PERIPHERAL ARTERY QUESTIONNAIRE: VALIDATION OF THE PORTUGUESE VERSION
Rocha-Neves, João; Ferreira, André; Pereira-Neves, António; Ferreira-Castro, João; Macedo, Juliana; Pinto, Ana; Sousa, Joel; Dias-Neto, MarinaPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a prevalent condition that predisposes the patients to major cardiovascular events. The majority of patients are asymptomatic, however PAD has a great impact in the patients’ lifestyle due to its chronic nature. The Peripheral Arterial Questionnaire (PAQ) is a validated tool to quantify the patients’ subjective experience of the disease. The aim of this work is to validate t...
