Hintergrund: Diese Studie wurde durchgeführt, um zu überprüfen, ob das C-reaktive Protein (CRP) im Vergleich zu etablierten Risikofaktoren der Arteriosklerose (Geschlecht, Alter, Diabetes mellitus, Hochdruck, Rauchen) besser mit einem Rezidiv nach ...
Hintergrund: Thrombembolische Komplikationen nach Carotis Thrombendarterektomien (CEA) sind häufig mit technischen Fehlern assoziert. Wir analysierten den Einfluss des intraoperativen Duplex Ultraschall (IODS) auf eine unmittelbare intraoperative Revision ...
Background: Severity of stenosis remains the main factor for assessing risk of stroke in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) disease. This study was conducted to investigate the association of plaque echostructure and other established and ...
Hintegrund: Diese Studie wurde entworfen, um die Auswirkungen der Carotisstent-Implantation (CAS) auf die Plasmaspiegel von P-Selektin, von Willebrand Faktor (vWF) und Endothelin-1 zu untersuchen. Patienten und Methoden: Siebenundsechzig Patienten, die ...
Background: Intraplaque neovascularization and vasa vasorum (VV) proliferation contribute in the progression and rupture of atherosclerotic lesions. Contrast Enhanced Ultrasonography (CEUS) has been reported to attain data regarding intraplaque neovessels ...
Background: Preoperative cardiac assessment may essentially contribute to estimate the operative risk in vascular surgery.This study was undertaken to depict the clinical conditions and cardiac status in patients before elective major vascular surgery. ...
Abstract. Background: We analyses the effect of gender on short and long-term morbidity and mortality in carotid endarterectomy (CEA) under loco-regional anesthesia. Patients and methods: Patients who were entered into a prospectively compiled ...
Abstract. This overview analyses gender differences in prevalence, epidemiology, risk factors and therapy in patients with carotid stenosis in a systematic review. Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death in Western society, where about 20% of cases ...
Abstract. We report an unusual combination of a symptomatic carotid stenosis and ipsilateral carotid body tumor. This patient was successfully treated with simultaneous carotid endarterectomy and tumor resection. ...
Summary:Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate perioperative as well as long-term outcomes in patients operated with carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or stenting (CAS) due to symptomatic or asymptomatic high-grade restenosis of the ...
Summary.Background: This study attempted to correlate neurological symptoms in awake patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) under local anaesthesia (LA) with serum concentration of S100B protein and measurement of cerebral ...
Summary:Background: Patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) may suffer from cerebral hypoperfusion during the carotid cross-clamping. Near-infrared spectroscopy cerebral oximetry (NIRS) is a non-invasive method of regional cerebral oxygen ...
Summary:Background: The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic interaction between age and sex on peri-operative and follow-up outcomes following elective carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for asymptomatic and symptomatic carotid ...
Summary:Background: Cardiac complications represent the main cause of mortality after non-cardiac surgery and the Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) was created to estimate the perioperative risk of these events. It considers history of ...
Summary:Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD), coronary artery disease (CAD) and carotid stenosis (CS) are robust predictors of mortality. The value of individual vascular beds in polyvascular disease (PVD) to predict mortality in ...
Summary:Background: High density lipoprotein (HDL) is well established to have an athero-protective role under normal conditions; however, pro-inflammatory alteration of HDL proteins may transform the HDL particle into a dysfunctional molecule. Our aim ...
