Nationwide outcome analysis of primary carotid endarterectomy in symptomatic patients depending on closure technique and patch type

There was no difference between primary closure, different patch types or eversion after the perioperative phase.PMID:36603661 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejvs.2022.12.033

Endovascular therapy in basilar artery occlusion in Sweden 2016 –2019—a nationwide, prospective registry study
ConclusionWe confirm a serious outcome in BAO despite endovascular therapies, and demonstrate important differences relating to occlusion location in baseline characteristics, procedural time, therapeutic measures and outcome. Further in-depth analyses of factors affecting outcome in BAO are warranted.

Plasma Metal Concentrations and Incident Coronary Heart Disease in Chinese Adults: The Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort
Conclusions: Our study suggested that incident CHD was positively associated with plasma levels of titanium and arsenic, and inversely associated with selenium. Additional research is needed to confirm these findings in other populations. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1521 Received: 22 December 2016 Revised: 17 September 2017 Accepted: 19 September 2017 Published: 19 October 2017 Address correspondence to T.
