Objective: Inflammation may play a role in pathogenesis of venous thromboembolism, but the nature of this relationship is not yet understood. The objective of this study was to assess whether inflammation marker levels measured at diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and change in levels during the first month after DVT are associated with anatomic extent of DVT and severity of venous signs and symptoms at baseline and 1 month.
Objective: It has not yet been clarified whether it is possible to decrease the percentage of recurrences after radiofrequency (RF) ablation by way of increasing the number of RF ablation cycles. The aim of this study was to assess the morphologic changes in excised vein fragments after different durations of RF ablation exposure.
Background: Endovenous therapy by venoplasty and stenting is rapidly gaining momentum and popularity in treatment of chronic venous insufficiency (nonthrombotic iliac vein lesions, in particular). The purpose of this study was to examine the results of office-based venoplasty and stenting procedures that were performed at our office-based facility from July 28, 2012, until April 28, 2013. The study focused on any complications during and after the procedure.
Objective: Inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis is an uncommon condition but can cause devastating complications to those affected. Historically, this has been treated with an open surgical approach (with high morbidity) and with angioplasty in more recent years. Herein we describe technical aspects of stenting of the IVC in patients with recalcitrant chronic occlusive disease and evaluate its outcomes.
Objective: Nutcracker syndrome (NS) is a rare cause of hematuria, flank pain, and renal venous hypertension due to compression of the left renal vein (LRV) between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. To evaluate outcomes of open surgery and endovascular interventions, we reviewed our experience.
Background: The femoropopliteal arteries are subjected to considerable axial and bending deformity due to flexion at the hip and knee joints. The Supera helical interwoven nitinol stent system (IDEV Technologies, Inc/Abbott Laboratories, Inc, Webster, Tex) has good conformability and flexibility, with a very low incidence of mechanical fatigue. This study reviewed our experience with the use of Supera stents for femoropopliteal atherosclerotic lesions and identified risk factors for restenosis or occlusion.
Background: Cardiac catheterization is the standard of care procedure for diagnosis, choice of therapy, and longitudinal follow-up of children and adults with pulmonary hypertension (PH). However, the procedure is invasive and has risks associated with both the procedure and recovery period.
Background: Randomized trials of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) routinely exclude patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Background: Recent large clinical trials show lower rates of late cardiovascular events by extending clopidogrel >12 months after percutaneous coronary revascularization (PCI). However, concerns of increased bleeding have elicited support for limiting prolonged treatment to high-risk patients.
Background: There are scarce data available on transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR), and these have been limited to procedural results, with no follow-up status reported.
Background: The incidence, predictors, and prognostic impact of post-discharge bleeding (PDB) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation are unclear.
Background: Prosthetic valves currently used in children lack the ability to grow with the patient and often require multiple reoperations. Small intestinal submucosa-derived extracellular matrix (SIS-ECM) has been used successfully as a patch for repair in various tissues, including vessels, valves, and myocardium.
Background: The use of a balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve previously resulted in a greater rate of device success compared with a self-expandable transcatheter heart valve.
Background: Bleeding limits anticoagulant treatment in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS).
Background: There is a paucity of prospective and controlled data on the comparative effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) versus surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in a real-world setting.
