Physical Exercise for Active Skin Ulceration Secondary to Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease

Cardiac and extra-cardiac pathologies in patients with acute arterial occlusion

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate cardiac and extra-cardiac pathologies in patients who were operated for acute arterial occlusion. METHODS: Between March 2010 and March 2018, a total of 120 patients who underwent surgical treatment for acute arterial occlusion were included in this retrospect...

Mid-term results of peripheral cannulation after robotic cardiac surgery

Abstract Introduction: Various surgical procedures for minimally invasive cardiac surgery have been described in recent decades as alternatives to median sternotomy. Cardiopulmonary bypass via femoral arterial and venous cannulation is the foundation of these procedures. In this study, we evaluated the ...

The history of basilar artery occlusion: when art aids science

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 76 (5), 2018
ABSTRACT Basilar artery occlusion (BAO) ischemic stroke is a relatively rare condition with high morbidity and mortality rates. To date, the best acute reperfusion therapy for BAO has still not been established, mainly due to the lack of randomized controlled trials in this field. In this article, we rev...

Factors associated with outcome of endovascular treatment of iliac occlusive disease: a single-center experience

J. vasc. bras; 17 (1), 2018
Abstract Background Endovascular treatment (ET) of iliac occlusive disease (IOD) is well established in literature. Use of stents in IOD has achieved long-term limb salvage and patency rates similar to those of open surgery, with lower morbidity and mortality rates. Objectives To report the long-term...

The direct first pass aspiration technique in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke resulting from large vessel occlusions

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 75 (7), 2017
ABSTRACT Mechanical thrombectomy using stent retrievers is the standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke that results from large vessel occlusions. The direct aspiration first pass technique (ADAPT) has been proposed as an efficient, fast, and cost-effective thrombectomy strategy. The aim of this stud...

Oxidative stress in human aorta of patients with advanced aortoiliac occlusive disease

Abstract Introduction: Oxidative stress seems to be a role in the atherosclerosis process, but research in human beings is scarce. Objective: To evaluate the role of oxidative stress on human aortas of patients submitted to surgical treatment for advanced aortoiliac occlusive disease. Methods: Twenty-...

Endovascular revascularization of TASC C and D femoropopliteal occlusive disease using carbon dioxide as contrast

Einstein (Säo Paulo); 14 (2), 2016
ABSTRACT Objective To analyze the results of ten angioplasties of TASC C and D femoropopliteal lesions using CO2 as primary contrast in patients with no formal contraindication to iodine, aiming to decrease allergic reactions and potential nephrotoxicity in high-risk patients. Methods We describe the...

Rotura y desplazamiento de catéter arterial umbilical: obstrucción arterial bilateral en un prematuro de muy bajo peso al nacer

Arch. argent. pediatr; 113 (5), 2015
La canalización de los vasos umbilicales es un procedimiento frecuente en las unidades de cuidados intensivos neonatales, especialmente en los recién nacidos de muy bajo peso al nacer. Raras veces el catéter arterial umbilical se rompe; los fragmentos retenidos pueden provocar trombosis, infección, e...
