Background: Data for the safety and efficacy of new-generation drug-eluting stents at long-term follow-up, and specifically in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, are scarce. In the EXAMINATION trial, we compared everolimus-eluting stents (EES) with bare-metal stents (BMS) in an all-comer population with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. In this study, we assessed the 5-year outcomes of the population in the EXAMINATION trial.
BACKGROUND: The choice of drug-eluting stent in the treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease who are undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been debated. Previous studies comparing paclitaxel-eluting stents with stents eluting rapamycin (now called sirolimus) or its analogues (everolimus or zotarolimus) have produced contradictory results, ranging from equivalence between stent types to superiority of everolimus-eluting stents.
Objective: To investigate the influence of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) on cerebral perfusion and cognitive function in patients with internal carotid artery stenosis (ICA).
Objectives: Endovascular treatment of atherosclerotic obstruction of aortic arch branch origins (AABO) has largely replaced open surgery, but long-term outcome data are lacking. This study evaluated mid-term and long-term results of these procedures.
Objective/Background: Bridging stent grafts (BSGs) are used to connect the target vessel with the main body during fenestrated or branched aortic endografting (f/bEVAR). No dedicated devices are available for BSG. The aims of this study were to assess the performance of BSGs.
Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the clinical results of stent placement in post-thrombotic patients with iliofemoral obstruction compared with results in those treated with elastic compression stockings (ECS).
Objective: Extracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of an infiltrative type in the head and neck can cause cosmetic, functional, and psychological problems. This study reports a single center experience and evaluates the clinical safety and effectiveness of the sole use of absolute ethanol embolotherapy for infiltrative extracranial AVMs in the head and neck.
Objective: To decrease the procedural risk of carotid revascularisation it is crucial to understand the mechanisms of procedural stroke. This study analysed the features of procedural strokes associated with carotid artery stenting (CAS) and carotid endarterectomy (CEA) within the International Carotid Stenting Study (ICSS) to identify the underlying pathophysiological mechanism.
Background: Popliteal aneurysm (PA) is traditionally treated by open repair (OR). Endovascular repair (ER) has become more common. The aim was to describe time trends and compare results (OR/ER).
Objective/Background: Over the last two decades endovascular repair (EVR) of popliteal artery aneurysms has emerged as a treatment alternative to conventional open surgical repair (OSR). The aim of this review was to evaluate the safety and efficiency of each repair method, comparing the following outcomes after EVR and OSR: (i) primary patency; (ii) operating time; (iii) length of hospital stay; (iv) peri-operative complications; (v) limb salvage; and (vi) patient survival.
Objective: The aim was to study the risk factors associated with symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the lower limbs treated by catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT) without inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) placement.
Objective: To compare the long-term clinical efficacy of endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) with high ligation and stripping (HLS) as standard treatment for great saphenous vein (GSV) incompetence.
Objective: The aim was to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of primary stenting with paclitaxel eluting stents for TASC C and D femoropopliteal lesions.
Objective: Deep venous stenting has become the primary treatment option for chronic venous obstructive disease, both for iliac vein compression and post-thrombotic venous lesions. Until recently, only stents aimed at arterial pathology were used, because no dedicated venous stents were available. However, three such stents have now become available. These venous stents are characterized by increased length, diameter, flexibility, and radial force. This study reports an early experience with one of these devices; the sinus Venous stent (OptiMed GmbH, Ettlingen, Germany).
Background: It has been reported that early clot removal benefits patients with iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (DVT) by removing obstruction and preserving valve function. However, a substantial number of patients who had successful clot removal develop post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Residual thrombus and rethrombosis play a part in this phenomenon, but the role of coexisting primary chronic venous disease (PCVD) in these patients has not been studied.
