Abdominal aortic aneurysm and abdominal wall hernia as manifestations of a connective tissue disorder
(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 ... -
Association between periodontal disease and stroke
(2012)Objective: Periodontitis is a very common human infection. There is evidence that periodontitis is associated with cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and stroke. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between ... -
Association of plaque echostructure and cardiovascular risk factors with symptomatic carotid artery disease
(2010)Aim. Severity of stenosis remains the main factor for assessing risk of stroke in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) disease. This study was conducted to investigate the association of plaque echostructure and ... -
Association of plaque echostructure and cardiovascular risk factors with symptomatic carotid artery disease
(2009)Background: Severity of stenosis remains the main factor for assessing risk of stroke in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) disease. This study was conducted to investigate the association of plaque echostructure ... -
Blood velocity pulse quantification in the human conjunctival pre-capillary arterioles
(2010)Axial red blood cell velocity pulse was quantified throughout its period by high speed video microcinematography in the human eye. In 30 conjunctival precapillary arterioles (6 to 12 mu m in diameter) from 15 healthy humans, ... -
Cholesterol Crystal Embolization: A Possible Complication of Peripheral Endovascular Interventions
(2008)Cholesterol crystal embolization (CCE) is a possible complication of peripheral endovascular interventions. The diagnosis of CCE is suggested by the gradual onset of peripheral cutaneous manifestations (e.g., livedo ... -
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, ... -
Clinical relevance and treatment of carotid stent fractures
(2010)Objective: To review all published reports and investigate the clinical relevance and need for treatment of carotid stent fractures. Methods: Electronic and hand-searching of the published literature and the Manufacturer ... -
Colonic Ischemia After Endovascular Exclusion of an Aortoiliac Aneurysm Using an Iliac Branch Device
(2010)Purpose: To present the first case of colonic ischemia (CI) after endovascular exclusion of an aortoiliac aneurysm using an iliac branch device (IBD). Case report: A 69-year-old male patient with an abdominal aortic and ... -
Combined Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting and Open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair Is a Reasonable Treatment Approach: A Systematic Review
(2014)We reviewed the literature for studies investigating the outcomes of combined 1-stage coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) open repair (OR) procedures. An electronic search of the ... -
Common femoral artery intima-media thickness as marker for cardiovascular disease in asymptomatic adults
(2009)Background: The common carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is considered as a marker of cardiovascular disease, while the value of the common femoral IMT is not well defined. The aim of the present study was to investigate ... -
Compression with or without early ambulation in the prevention of post-thrombotic syndrome: A systematic review
(2006)Introduction. The aim of this study was to assess whether there is enough evidence to suggest that compression with or without early ambulation after proximal DVT reduces the risk of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Methods. ... -
Computational phlebology: reviewing computer models of the venous system
(2013)Relatively little attention has been paid to the venous system and valves from a cardiovascular engineering perspective up to now. Given the involvement of venous valve haemodynamics in the development of deep vein thrombosis ... -
A Critical Analysis on the Impact of Antiplatelet Therapy in the Patency of Infrainguinal Bypass Grafts
(2013)Antiplatelet therapy plays an important role in the management of atherosclerotic disease and numerous studies have shown their efficacy in the reduction of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Antiplatelets are given ... -
Depression and atherosclerosis
(2011)The aim of this paper was to examine the interaction between depression and atherosclerosis through a systematic review. A Medline search was performed from 1966 through 2009 using relevant terms such as depression, ... -
Distribution and clinical impact of phlebosclerosis
(2011)Sclerosis of the vessels has been extensively described in arteries but rarely in veins. Phlebosclerosis refers to the thickening and hardening of the venous wall. Despite its morphological similarities with arteriosclerosis ...
