(2011)Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and abdominal wall hernias represent chronic degenerative conditions. Both aortic aneurysms and inguinal hernias share common epidemiologic features, and several investigators ... -
Assessment of insertion/deletion polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene in abdominal aortic aneurysm and inguinal hernia
(2013)The aim of the paper is to determine whether the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism is associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and inguinal hernia. A case-control study ... -
Circulating matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in inguinal hernia and abdominal aortic aneurysm
(2011)Aim. There is evidence supporting the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs) in aortic and abdominal wall connective tissue degeneration, resulting in aneurysm and hernia formation. Furthermore, ... -
Increased prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm in patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair compared with patients without hernia receiving aneurysm screening
(2011)Background: The introduction of screening programs for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is being contemplated by health services in several countries. The correlation between aortic aneurysm and abdominal wall hernias is ... -
Lower-extremity Arteriovenous Access for Haemodialysis: A Systematic Review
(2009)Background: The lower extremity is increasingly used as an access site in end-stage renal disease patients. However, reports present conflicting results, creating confusion regarding the feasibility and outcomes. Our ... -
Outcome after endovascular stent graft repair of aortoenteric fistula: A systematic review
(2009)Background: Aortoenteric fistula (AEF) is a critical clinical condition, which may present with gastrointestinal hemorrhage, with or without signs of sepsis. Conventional open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity ... -
The role of hemodynamic measurements in the management of venous and ischemic ulcers
(2007)There is a need for quantitative investigations in the vascular laboratory to manage lower extremity ulcers. The majority of leg ulcers are of venous (45%-60%) or arterial origin (10%-20%). Despite the increasing complexity ...
