Short-term outcomes of endovascular management of acute limb ischemia using aspiration mechanical thrombectomy
CONCLUSIONS: Short-term amputation-free survival rates of endovascular management of acute limb ischemia are adequate across all modalities. However, aspiration mechanical thrombectomy was associated with significantly worse amputation-free survival compared to other endovascular adjuncts alone (i.e., pharmacomechanical thrombolysis). Severe limb ischemia (Rutherford ALI Stage 2B) and prior supra-inguinal bypass were associated with worse amputation-free survival regardless of the choice of endovascular intervention.PMID:38415647 | DOI:10.1177/17085381241236923 (Source: Vascular)

A retrospective assessment of venous recanalization outcomes for oral anticoagulant treatment in deep vein thrombosis
CONCLUSION: Direct oral anticoagulants might be more effective than vitamin K antagonists in achieving complete recanalization in patients that have deep vein thrombosis. Improving outcomes can be achieved by evaluating current treatment options.PMID:38409653 | DOI:10.1177/17085381241236931 (Source: Vascular)

The prevalent causes of death in patients with peripheral artery disease undergoing revascularisation or amputation
CONCLUSION: Whilst cardiovascular COD are the most prevalent reasons for mortality in patients with PAD, the proportion of patients dying from neoplasia and respiratory disease is high. Improved reporting standards for COD in studies examining PAD are needed.PMID:38411009 | DOI:10.1177/17085381241236562 (Source: Vascular)

Long-pulsed 1064nm Nd:YAG laser in the treatment of leg veins: Systematic review
CONCLUSION: Long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser is a valid therapeutic option for leg telangiectasia and reticular veins with great aesthetic outcomes and minor side effects. Nd:YAG laser therapy could be combined with sclerotherapy or other laser therapies or IPL in order to achieve better results. Serious side effects are rare, but the procedure is almost always accompanied by moderate tolerable pain.PMID:38413049 | DOI:10.1177/17085381241236587 (Source: Vascular)

Classification of anatomic patterns of peripheral artery disease with automated machine learning (AutoML)
CONCLUSION: After a brief training period with a limited dataset, AutoML has demonstrated its potential in identifying and classifying the anatomical patterns of PAD, operating unhindered by the factors that can affect human analysts, such as fatigue or lack of experience. This technology bears the potential to revolutionize outcome prediction and standardize evidence-based revascularization strategies for patients with PAD, leveraging its adaptability and ability to continuously improve with additional data. The pursuit of further research in AutoML within the field of vascular medicine is both promising and warranted. Ho...

Extra-anatomic bypass procedures for severe aortoiliac occlusive disease-A cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: FFB and AxFB is a safe and durable strategy for treating patients with severe AIOD where no other option is feasible. Regarding predictors, only endarterectomy at the distal anastomosis site was associated with an increased risk for graft failure.PMID:38407000 | DOI:10.1177/17085381241236558 (Source: Vascular)
