Abstract. Ultrasound has been established as an important diagnostic tool in assessing vascular abnormalities. Standard B-mode and Doppler techniques have inherent limitations with regards to detection of slow flow ...
Abstract. Early detection of vascular damage in atherosclerosis and accurate assessment of cardiovascular risk factors are the basis for appropriate treatment strategies in cardiovascular medicine. The current ...
Abstract. Background: In randomized controlled trials (RCTs) direct acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) showed a superior risk-benefit profile in comparison to vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for patients with ...
Abstract. Background: Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of ischaemic stroke in the general population but its impact on early outcome after the carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is controversial with conflicting ...
Abstract. Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is one of the major manifestations of general atherosclerosis and strongly associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Because only few ...
Abstract. Background: Percutaneous endovascular revascularisation interventions are increasingly used in treatment of lower extremity artery disease and may expose patients to substantial radiation. Patients and ...
Abstract. Background: We sought to determine the patency and clinical symptom relief of the Venovo venous stent in the endovascular treatment of non-thrombotic (NIVL) or post-thrombotic venous obstruction (PTO) of ...
Abstract. Background: Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms (IPA) are treated with ultrasound-guided thrombin injections (UGTI). We describe a novel technique for IPA repair that applies UGTI with thrombin foam (UGTFI). ...
Abstract. Background: The enzyme glyoxalase1 (GLO1) is the main opponent in the degradation of the reactive metabolite methylglyoxal (MG), which by glycation of macromolecules is involved in atherogenesis. Reduced ...
Abstract. A carotid artery pseudoaneurysm in an irradiated neck is a rare entity with possible devastating results and management should be multidisciplinary. We present a successful endovascular treatment of a late ...
