Silver acetate and Triclosan Antimicrobial Graft Evaluation for surgical Repair of aortic disease (STAGER Study)
CONCLUSIONS: Silver acetate and triclosan impregnated grafts demonstrated good early and mid-term results, being considered safe and durable for AAA open repair. Similar graft infection and related death rates were observed compared to polyester standard grafts, supporting non-superiority of one graft over the other.PMID:37943291 | DOI:10.23736/S0392-9590.23.05101-5 (Source: International Angiology)

Early experience of thalidomide therapy for high-grade peripheral and facial arteriovenous malformations
CONCLUSIONS: We can conclude that thalidomide is able to reduce the symptom burden for patients with complex and proliferative AVMs that were refractory to established treatment modalities. Adverse effects are common, but the benefit achieved from taking thalidomide in otherwise treatment resistant cases outweighs the risks, most of which are manageable.PMID:37943292 | DOI:10.23736/S0392-9590.23.05111-8 (Source: International Angiology)

Five-factors Modified Frailty Index role as predictors of outcomes after proximal abdominal aortic aneurysms
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that mFI-5 is a tool capable to identify "frail" patients, who appear to be at increased risk of postoperative AKI and mid-term mortality, but not 30-day mortality. Five-factor modified Frailty Index assessment is simple, fast and can be widely applied in surgical practice to perform appropriate risk stratifications.PMID:37943290 | DOI:10.23736/S0392-9590.23.05071-X (Source: International Angiology)

Six-month effects of supervised exercise on walking ability and health-related factors in peripheral arterial disease: a pilot study
CONCLUSIONS: A supervised exercise program that combines aerobic and resistance training improves PAD symptoms and has additional benefits for patients. Patients in the program showed improvements in walking ability, lower-limb body composition, perceived exertion, and heart rate during treadmill walking.PMID:37870494 | DOI:10.23736/S0392-9590.23.05085-X (Source: International Angiology)

CONCLUSIONS: Analysis of AAA volume growth patterns is a practical and safe modality that seems more sensitive at detecting growth patterns than AAA diameter. Volume also detects more AAA growth than diameter.PMID:37870495 | DOI:10.23736/S0392-9590.23.05103-9 (Source: International Angiology)
