Antiphospholipid antibodies and lower extremity peripheral arterial disease - a systematic review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Our systematic review and meta-analysis suggests that the prevalence of persistently elevated levels of antiphospholipid antibodies is increased in patients with lower extremity peripheral diseases when compared to healthy controls, especially in those with critical limb ischaemia.

Direct oral factor Xa inhibitors for the prevention of non-central nervous systemic embolism patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation - a systematic review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: As a drug class, direct oral factor Xa inhibitors do not reduce the incidence of non-central nervous systemic embolism (or ischaemic stroke) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Selecting drugs for the prevention of non-central nervous systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation should be based on individual drug efficacy data, rather than class data.

Endovascular treatment of ischaemic stroke patients - new evidence and old challenges.
Abstract An overwhelming benefit from endovascular treatment of ischaemic stroke could be shown in recent clinical trials, making it the new evidence-based standard of care for ischaemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. To provide all eligible stroke patients with this therapy at any time, stroke networks and hospitals should streamline their workflow to rapidly image, select, and treat stroke patients. Interdisciplinary cooperation is vital for effective emergency endovascular stroke treatment, which is one of the most complex multidisciplinary functions a hospital can undertake.

Impact of sex and age on carotid plaque instability in asymptomatic patients-results from the Munich Vascular Biobank.
CONCLUSIONS: Asymptomatic men had in total more frequently unstable plaques in contrast to women. Thus, male sex seems to be an additional risk factor for ischemic stroke. PMID: 27351411 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Surgical management of extracranial carotid artery aneurysms.
CONCLUSIONS: Open surgery is a relatively safe method in the therapy of ECCA. Surgical repair of ECCAs can be associated with an acceptable major stroke rate and moderate minor stroke rate. Complication-free long-term outcomes can be achieved in as many as 96.9 % of patients. Aneurysmectomy with end-to-end anastomosis or bypass surgery can be implemented during open repair of ECCA.

Predicting the prevalence of peripheral arterial diseases: modelling and validation in different cohorts.
CONCLUSIONS: The developed model yielded a moderate usefulness for predicting the prevalence of PAD in general population. PMID: 26986707 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Gender differences in patients with carotid stenosis.
Abstract This overview analyses gender differences in prevalence, epidemiology, risk factors and therapy in patients with carotid stenosis in a systematic review. Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death in Western society, where about 20% of cases are triggered by a carotid stenosis or occlusion, which occurs more frequently in men than in women. The stroke-protective effect of carotid endarterectomy is greater in men. Men have lower peri-procedural stroke and death rates. Particularly men with carotid stenosis and a life expectancy of at least 5 years benefit from surgical treatment. Also, the recurrence rate...

Comparison of periprocedural and long term outcomes of proximal versus distal cerebral protection method during carotid artery stenting.
CONCLUSIONS: Although it has been shown that the proximal flow blockage cerebral protection system decreases the risk of silent cerebral embolism, it has no advantage over the distal filter protection system in terms of adverse cerebrovascular or cardiac events during the periprocedural stage or during the long-term follow-up period.

Gender-based 30-day and long-term outcomes after carotid endarterectomy.
CONCLUSIONS: When considering short and long-term outcomes in patients receiving carotid endarterectomy in local anaesthesia gender should not be regarded as a factor on decision-making for carotid interventions in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. PMID: 26314361 [PubMed - in process]

Postprandial decrease in vascular resistance correlated with change in second derivative of finger plethysmogram in young subjects.
CONCLUSIONS: Change in d/a is considered to be an index of change in TPR. TPR is considered to be decreased by agents for treatment of hypertension, and meal ingestion does not appear to further decrease TPR. These results are considered to be useful for understanding cardiodynamics surrounding meal ingestion. PMID: 25537057 [PubMed - in process]

Medical management of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Abstract Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are the most common arterial aneurysms. Endovascular or open surgical aneurysm repair is indicated in patients with large AAA ≥ 5.5 cm in diameter as this prevents aneurysm rupture. The presence even of small AAAs not in need of immediate repair is associated with a very high cardiovascular risk including myocardial infarction, stroke or cardiovascular death. This risk by far exceeds the risk of aneurysm rupture. These patients therefore should be considered as high-risk patients and receive optimal medical treatment and life-style modificiation of their cardiovascular r...

Technique and clinical evidence of neuroprotection in carotid artery stenting.
Abstract Carotid artery stenting has been advocated as an effective alternative to carotid endarterectomy. Periprocedural embolization of debris during endovascular treatment of carotid artery disease may result in neurological deficit. Different strategies are being developed and evaluated for their ability to minimize the clinical embolic risk. Distal filter devices, proximal and distal balloon occlusion systems are increasingly used in carotid artery stenting, because they seem to be safe and effective in preventing distal embolization, according to several uncontrolled studies. However the use of embolic prote...

Predictive value of the ankle brachial index in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Conclusions: An ABI ≤ 0.90 or > 1.40 does not appear to be associated with more severe stroke or worse in-hospital outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke. PMID: 24429331 [PubMed - in process]

Periprocedural risk and long-term outcome of intracranial angioplasty based on a single-centre experience.
Conclusions: Our outcomes of the balloon angioplasty/stent placement for intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis are better than those in the SAMMPRIS study and compare favourably with those in large registries and observational studies. PMID: 23823858 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
