Abstract

Two of the main reasons recent guidelines do not recommend routine population-wide screening programs for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (AsxCS) is that screening could lead to an increase of carotid revascularization procedures and that such mass screening programs may not be cost-effective. Nevertheless, selective screening for AsxCS could have several benefits. This article presents the rationale for such a program. The benefits of selective screening for AsxCS include early recognition of AsxCS allowing timely initiation of preventive measures to reduce future myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, cardiac death and cardiovascular (CV) event rates. Mass screening programs for AsxCS are neither clinically effective nor cost-effective. Nevertheless, targeted screening of populations at high risk for AsxCS provides an opportunity to identify these individuals earlier rather than later and to initiate a number of lifestyle measures, risk factor modifications, and intensive medical therapy in order to prevent future strokes and CV events. For patients at 'higher risk of stroke' on best medical treatment, a prophylactic carotid intervention may be considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Currently, people living with HIV/ AIDS (PLWHA) attain a life expectancy similar to a non-HIV population. However, these patients experience a status of chronic inflammation, which is a known cause of arteriopathy. Yet, literature is scarce regarding the potential venous inflammatory effect, especially after varicose vein surgery. The aim of this study was to perform a descriptive analysis alongside evaluating short and long- term outcomes after varicose vein surgery in PLWHA while comparing with a control group. METHODS: A retrospective nested case-control study was performed resorting to codification. All PLWHA patients which had any hospital interaction with the Vascular Surgery Department (either outpatient clinic, emergency or surgery) due to venous disease between April 2006 and December 2019 were identified. PLWHA found to have undergone varicose vein surgery within the study inclusion period were included. The immediately consecutive varicose vein surgery in a patient with no-HIV infection was included in the control group in a 1:1 ratio. Comorbidities were collected at the time of index event. RESULTS: The cohort included 118 patients (59 PLWHA and 59 control) and had a mean follow-up of 86 [Interquartile range (IQR) 25-75%, 43-111] months. At baseline, PLWHA were younger (45.2 ± 10.71 vs 49.9 ± 10.69 years, p=0.017) and had a male predominance (54% vs 27%, p=0.003). Furthermore, there were a higher prevalence of smokers (54% vs 17%, p, Angiologia e Cirurgia Vascular, Vol. 18 No. 4 (2022): December

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects more than 202 million people worldwide, 1.3% of which with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI). PAD is associated with an elevated mortality and morbidity. However, the evolution from claudication or from asymptomatic PAD to CLTI is not completely understood and cardiovascular risk factors are unable to fully explain it. The aim of this opportunistic review is to understand the role of inflammation in the evolution to CLTI and to analyse if inflammation can increase the mortality risk. METHODS: A systematic search of the PubMed database was performed with the keywords and medical subject heading (MesH): “inflammation”, “cytokine”, “prognosis”, “death”, “mortality”, “CLTI” and “CLI”. Of 146 papers, 8 articles and 1622 patients were included RESULTS: We verified that inflammation is important for the initiation and progression of PAD. There are several candidate inflammatory triggers, including the cardiovascular risk factors (age, nicotine abuse, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia). However, these traditional risk factors, fail to explain the variable nature of disease progression between individuals and the pro-inflammatory polymorphisms could be a key element. Several studies also proved that patients with CLTI have a marked elevated level of cytokines. The increase inflammatory burden in patients with PAD, particularly with CLTI could explain the increased inflammation and may help to explain why the prevalence of clinically manifested coronary artery disease in PAD is much higher than the prevalence of PAD in coronary artery disease patients. CONCLUSION: Anti-inflammatory therapy and revascularization can avoid the systemic consequences of inflammation in patient with CLTI and should be timely implemented., Angiologia e Cirurgia Vascular, Vol. 18 No. 4 (2022): December

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic was complicated by the spread of false information leading to what became widely called an "infodemic". The present opinion paper was written by an ad hoc international team united under the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS) umbrella and reflects the organizations' effort to contribute to the resolution of these issues, by highlighting and reflecting on them and by suggesting the medical community's necessary activities resulting in the formulation of effective future communication strategies. The importance of physicians' and other health workers' role and mission as educators and leaders in communities in critical situations should be reassessed and upgraded. We need to equip future doctors with strong and sustainable leadership and communication skills through relevant undergraduate and postgraduate education programs, in order that compliance with preventive medical advice is increased. To avoid possible politically and otherwise biased communication in health crises of the future, European nations should establish independent advisory bodies providing evidence-based advice and participate in communication campaigns. Medical and other health professional organizations should build organizational and personal capacities of their members to enable them to reliably inform and adequately educate governments, populations, civic society, employers' and employees' organizations, schools and universities, and other stakeholders.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), defined as intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) greater than 20 mm Hg that is associated with new organ dysfunction/failure, represents na uncommon but hazardous complication after endovascular aneurysm repair for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (r-EVAR). The aim of this review is to overview incidence, mortality and potential benefit of expedite treatment of ACS. METHODS Pubmed databases were searched in order to find publications reporting incidence associated mortality of ACS after r-EVAR. Articles published before 2002 and non-human data was not included. RESULTS Among larger studies (n>100) ACS incidence ranged between 6.9 to 20%, with significant heterogeneity among included studies. Significant heterogeneity was also find regarding in-hospital mortality, ranging between 30 to 83%. One study revealed that need for decompressive laparotomy carried a significan greater risk of in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR], 5.91; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.62-9.62;P 12mmHg. When the latter reveal innefective, decompressive laparotomy is mandatory to avoid multi-organ failure. No studies comparing effectiveness of decompressive laparotomy exist in the literature as this represents a rescuing measure., Angiologia e Cirurgia Vascular, Vol. 18 No. 2 (2022): June

Abstract

Objectives: The recommendations of international guidelines for the management of asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS) often vary considerably and extend from a conservative approach with risk factor modification and best medical treatment (BMT) alone, to a more aggressive approach with a carotid intervention plus BMT. The aim of the current multispecialty position statement is to reconcile the conflicting views on the topic. Materials and methods: A literature review was performed with a focus on data from recent studies. Results: Several clinical and imaging high-risk features have been identified that are associated with an increased long-term ipsilateral ischemic stroke risk in patients with ACS. Such high-risk clinical/imaging features include intraplaque hemorrhage, impaired cerebrovascular reserve, carotid plaque echolucency/ulceration/ neovascularization, a lipid-rich necrotic core, a thin or ruptured fibrous cap, silent brain infarction, a contralateral transient ischemic attack/stroke episode, male patients < 75 years and microembolic signals on transcranial Doppler. There is growing evidence that 80-99% ACS indicate a higher stroke risk than 50-79% stenoses. Conclusions: Although aggressive risk factor control and BMT should be implemented in all ACS patients, several high-risk features that may increase the risk of a future cerebrovascular event are now documented. Consequently, some guidelines recommend a prophylactic carotid intervention in high-risk patients to prevent future cerebrovascular events. Until the results of the much-anticipated randomized controlled trials emerge, the jury is still out regarding the optimal management of ACS patients. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
