Insurance Type and Major Complications After Hysterectomy
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between primary insurance type and major complications after hysterectomy. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on women with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance who underwent hysterectomy from January 1, 2012, to July 1, 2014, and were included in the Michigan Surgical Quality Collaborative. Major complications within 30 days of surgery included the following: deep/organ space surgical site infection, deep venous and pulmonary thromboembolism, myocardial infarction or stroke, pneumonia or sepsis, blood transfusion, readmission, and dea...

Could advanced drug delivery systems be the future in cardiovascular revascularization medicine?
Abstract Acute myocardial infarction, stroke and pulmonary embolism required a prompt revascularization to restore the normal blood flow as soon as possible. Fibrinolytic treatment has gradually become both dated and underused in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction, after the wide diffusion of cathlab and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Conversely, the use of systemic thrombolysis remained a benchmark in the treatment of both ischemic stroke and massive pulmonary embolism. In daily clinical practice, the use of thrombolytic agents is often limited by absolute and/or relative contraindicati...

Combined brachial embolectomy and stent graft endovascular exclusion in the treatment of acute arm ischemia due to subclavian artery aneurysms thrombosis or distal embolization.
CONCLUSION: Endovascular repair is a less invasive alternative to open repair especially in high risk patients. long term results must still be confirmed in further studies. KEY WORDS: Arm ischemia, Endovascular treatment, Subclavian aneurysm. PMID: 27807319 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Influence of Collagen Impregnation of a Knitted Dacron Patch Used in Carotid Endarterectomy
In selected populations, carotid endarterectomy (CEA) reduces long-term stroke risk. Studies have shown increased risk of restenosis with use of a collagen-impregnated Dacron patch compared to a PTFE patch. There is concern that collagen-impregnation may initiate thrombosis or promote restenosis due to platelet activation. We performed a retrospective analysis of our CEA experience with routine patching using knitted Dacron patches with (Hemashield) and without (Sauvage) collagen-impregnation.

Efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban thromboprophylaxis after arthroplasty of the hip or knee: retrospective cohort study.
Conclusions Rivaroxaban is an effective and safe anticoagulant for thromboprophylaxis after hip arthroplasty or knee arthroplasty if used in a modified regimen involving enoxaparin administered in the inpatient setting followed by rivaroxaban upon hospital discharge.

Commentary on ‘Protamine Reduces Bleeding Complications Without Increasing the Risk of Stroke After Carotid Endarterectomy: A Meta-analysis’
Kakisis et  al. demonstrate in their meta-analysis that reversing the effect of heparin with protamine seems to reduce the number of major neck hematomas associated with CEA. One might fear that this would be at the cost of an increased level of cerebral thromboembolism. However, Kakisis et al. showed that a dministration of protamine does not seem to influence the rate of stroke.1

Late Retrograde Migration of a Left Subclavian Artery Chimney Stent-Graft Into the Innominate Artery
Conclusion: Migration of the proximal end of an overly long chimney graft that moved freely in the aortic arch exposed the patient to a high risk of stroke and death. Because of the high-risk situation, open repair under circulatory arrest was elected to remove the proximal end of the chimney graft, with no major complications.

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.

Acute Limb Ischemia and Outcomes With Vorapaxar in Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease: Results From the Trial to Assess the Effects of Vorapaxar in Preventing Heart Attack and Stroke in Patients With Atherosclerosis-Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 50 (TRA2°P-TIMI 50)
Acute limb ischemia (ALI) occurs at a rate of 1.3% per year in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD) without atrial fibrillation. Vorapaxar reduces ALI in patients with symptomatic PAD including PAD resulting from graft thrombosis and in-situ thrombosis.

Contemporary Management of Type B Aortic Dissection in the Endovascular Era.
Authors: Bannazadeh M, Tadros RO, McKinsey J, Chander R, Marin ML, Faries PL Abstract Aortic dissection (AD) is one of the most common catastrophic pathologies affecting the aorta. Anatomic classification is based on the origin of entry tear and its extension. Type A dissections originate in the ascending aorta, whereas the entry tear in Type B dissections starts distal to the left subclavian artery. The patients with aortic dissection who manifest complications such as rupture, malperfusion, aneurysmal degeneration, and intractable pain are classified as complicated AD. Risk factors for developing aortic dissectio...

A Unique Case of Aortic Thrombosis With Elevated Lipoprotein(a)
Aortic thrombosis is a rare condition that can be caused by atherosclerosis, aneurysms, thrombophilia, vasculitis, trauma, and malignancy. Symptoms vary based on thrombus size and site of embolization. It can lead to devastating complications including acute limb ischemia, myocardial infarction, stroke, and other target organ ischemia. Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation, imaging findings, and relevant laboratory work-up. Although not well defined, management for aortic thrombosis includes surgical intervention, such as thromboembolectomy, and conservative measures, such as anticoagulation. Here, we present a uniqu...
