Reinfection incidence following surgical intervention for infected aortic bypas...
Brazuna, Márcio; Costa, Marta Gonçalves; Marreiros, Ana; Andrade, Leonardo Araújo; Andrade, José Paulo; Neves, João RochaBackground Infection of vascular grafts after aortic revascularization surgery is a serious complication with high morbid ity and mortality. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to determine reinfection incidence in patients undergoing surgical intervention for infected aortic bypass grafts and identify key risk factors in the literature. Materials and Methods This systematic review and meta-analysis f...
Dextran as an adjunct in carotid endarterectomy: a systematic review and meta-a...
Silva-Vieira,Duarte; Pereira-Neves, António; Nzwalo, Hipólito; Myrcha, Piotr; Neves, João RochaBackground: Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a widely used surgical procedure to prevent stroke in patients with carotid artery stenosis. Dextran, an antithrombotic agent with antihemostatic properties, has been proposed as an adjunctive therapy to reduce thromboembolic complications during CEA. However, its effectiveness and safety remain controversial. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to assess the...
ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM PREVALENCE IN PATIENTS WITH SIGNIFICANT HEMDYNAMICALL...
Mendes, Lígia; Sousa, Joel; Neves, João Rocha; Ferreira, Joana; Teixeira, José; Chaves, Rui NobreIntroduction: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and carotid stenosis (CS) are manifestations of atherosclerotic disease. Besides common risk factors, both diseases have an identical genetic expression related to oxygen transport and the erythrocyte membrane.Objectives: Studying the association between AAA and CS≥50%; estimating the prevalence of aneurysmal disease in patients with CS; determining the prevalence o...
ENDOVASCULAR ANEURYSM REPAIR FOR INTACT AND RUPTURED ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSMS...
Oliveira Pinto, José; Sousa, Joel; Neves, João Rocha; Leite-Moreira, Adelino; Mansilha, ArmandoIntroduction: Endovascular Aneurysm repair (EVAR) for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (r-AAA) has been increasingly advocated due to short term benefits. Survival after discharge seems to be similar between EVAR for rAAA (r-EVAR) and for elective patients (el-EVAR). Still, due to higher anatomical complexity more graft-related complications may arise in r-EVAR patients. Methods: MEDLINE databases were search...
