Risk factors for type 2 endoleak following endovascular aneurysm repair of abdo...
Silva,Eduardo; Constâncio-Oliveira,Vânia; Nunes,Celso; Baldaia,Leonor; Castro,Miguel; Orelhas,Luís; Carmona,Maria; Moreira,Joana; Fonseca,ManuelAbstract Introduction: Type 2 endoleaks (T2EL) are common complications following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), potentially leading to adverse outcomes such as aneurysm sac growth and reintervention. Although current guidelines recommend surveillance and conservative management for most T2EL cases, there's growing interest in prophylactic measures, including embolization of lumbar (LA) and inferior mesen...
Carotid revascularization for ocular ischemic syndrome - a systematic review
Baldaia,Leonor; Silva,Miguel; Silva,Eduardo; Nunes,Celso; Orelhas,Luís; Carmona,Maria; Antunes,Luís F.; Fonseca,ManuelAbstract Introduction: The link between extracranial carotid artery disease and visual symptoms is well-established, with amaurosis fugax as a precursor to retinal transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). The presence of cholesterol emboli and fibrin-platelet aggregates in retinal circulation has shown carotid plaque embolization leading to TIAs and strokes. However, not all visual symptoms are embolism related. Ocul...
Blunt traumatic injuries of thoracic aorta, a retrospective study
Baldaia,Leonor; Antunes,Luís F.; Silva,Miguel; Silva,Eduardo; Nunes,Celso; Oliveira,Vânia C.; Silva,Joana; Fonseca,ManuelAbstract Introduction: Blunt thoracic aortic injuries (BTAI) are defined as a tear in the thoracic aorta caused by a high energy blunt trauma with sudden deceleration and increased intravascular pressure. The most common reported mechanism of injury is motor vehicle accidents, and it can be potentially lethal. The purpose of this study was to analyze and report our center’s experience in the treatment of blunt ...

Baldaia,Leonor; Antunes,Luís F.; Silva,Cândida G.; Silva,Miguel; Silva,Eduardo; Nunes,Celso; Constâncio,Vânia; Fonseca,ManuelAbstract Introduction: Recently published studies on peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) have revealed marked sex disparities in patient selection and treatment outcomes. In a recent retrospective study with data from 11 different countries, Portugal was highlighted as one of the countries with greater sex discrepancies related to PAOD treatment. We aimed to analyze sex specific differences in the trea...

Baldaia,Leonor; Antunes,Luís F.; Silva,Miguel; Silva,Eduardo; Nunes,Celso; Oliveira,Vânia C.; Silva,Joana; Fonseca,ManuelAbstract Introduction: Blunt thoracic aortic injuries (BTAI) are defined as a tear in the thoracic aorta caused by a high energy blunt trauma. The most common reported mechanism of injury is motor vehicle accidents, and it can be potentially lethal. The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) and the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) guidelines recommend thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) as the ...
Escalas de qualidade de vida após amputação major do membro inferior em cirurgi...
Silva,Joana C.; Oliveira,Vânia C.; Lima,Pedro; Correia,Mafalda; Moreira,Mário; Anacleto,Gabriel; Fonseca,ManuelResumo Introdução: Apesar dos esforços das equipas de saúde, a taxa da amputação em doentes com Isquémia Crítica Ameaçadora de Membro (CLTI) é bastante elevada. Cada vez mais se torna relevante um tratamento individualizado do doente por forma a melhorar a sua qualidade de vida. Contudo, não existe uma escala de qualidade de vida validada para doentes amputados por isquémia crítica. Os autores propõem uma revis...
Impact of Charlson Comorbidity Index adjusted to age in prognosis after endovas...
Oliveira,Vânia Constâncio; Silva,Joana Cruz; Silva,Eduardo; Nunes,Celso; Castro,Miguel; Baldaia,Leonor; Pereira,Ricardo Vale; Fonseca,ManuelAbstract Background: Individualized risk assessment using comorbidity adjustment is an important component in modern clinical practice and can be performed considering individual comorbidities or through the use of summary measures. The Charlson Comorbidity Index adjusted to age (CCIa) is the most widely validated and used comorbidity assessment tool. Studies have proved CCIa as a strong predictor of mortality ...
Evidência atual da protamina em cirurgia carotídea
Silva,Eduardo; Correia,Mafalda; Nunes,Celso; Constâncio,Vânia; Silva,Joana; Lima,Pedro; Moreira,Joana; Fonseca,ManuelResumo Introdução e Objetivos: A administração de heparina constitui um passo standardizado na cirurgia carotídea dada a redução de complicações tromboembólicas no período perioperatório. Esta prática não está livre de riscos visto que as complicações hemorrágicas estão associadas a um aumento de reintervenções. Historicamente, a protamina, enquanto agente capaz de reverter os efeitos anticoagulantes da heparin...
Endovascular treatment of an axillary arterial injury following a traumatic sho...
Rodrigues,Roger; Moura,Diogo; Agostinho,Alfredo G.; Fonseca,ManuelAbstract Axillary artery injury after a shoulder dislocation is an extremely rare condition. Open surgery is the classical treatment of such lesions, consisting of direct suture at the site of the rupture or arterial reconstruction with a patch or a bypass. We report the case of a 74-years-old man who suffered a vascular and neurological injury after a recurrent glenohumeral joint dislocation and was treated wi...
Isolated external iliac artery dissection
Moreira,Mário; Correia,Mafalda; Moreira,Joana; Antunes,Luís; Fonseca,ManuelSpontaneous and isolated dissection of external iliac artery is very rare. The natural course of this condition is not well established. The authors report a case of a 54 year old male, military, with ankylosing spondylitis presenting with limb claudication secondary to isolated dissection of external iliac artery. Dissection was successfully managed by percutaneous stent placement.
