Effect of Postoperative Stroke Timing on Perioperative Mortality after Carotid Revascularization
In-hospital stroke (IHS) has been associated with worse outcomes than out-of-hospital stroke (OHS) due to delays in diagnosis and treatment. A paucity of studies exist comparing the timing of postoperative stroke after carotid revascularization. We aimed to study the effect of IHS vs. OHS on postoperative mortality in carotid revascularization patients in a large-scale national database.

Qualitative Analysis of Length of Stay and Readmission After Carotid Endarterectomy
The objective of this study was to evaluate factors related to hospital length of stay (LOS) and readmission within 90 days following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in patients who have not had a stroke.

Procedural Risks of Carotid Intervention in 19,000 patients
Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) show that carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and stenting (CAS) reduce long-term stroke risk in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with carotid artery stenosis. Historical RCTs may not represent contemporary practice and administrative datasets may estimate procedural risks more reliably. We studied procedural risks following carotid intervention in a novel, international administrative dataset of 18,997 patients admitted to 28 hospitals across 7 countries.

Timing of Hospital-acquired Venous Thromboembolism and Its Relationship with Venous Thromboembolism Prevention Measures in Immobile Patients
The aim of this study is to describe the timing of venous thromboembolism (VTE) diagnosis in patients with cerebral or spinal trauma and stroke and describe the relationships between VTE prophylaxis and timing of VTE diagnosis at a community hospital.

Endovascular Repair of Blunt Thoracic Aortic Trauma: Is Postimplant Hypertension an Incidental Finding?
Blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) is the second most common cause of death in trauma patients. Nowadays, thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has become the treatment of choice because of lower rates of mortality, paraplegia, and stroke. However, concerns have been raised whether graft implantation is related to the development of hypertension in the postoperative period. The aim of this study was to report short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing TEVAR for BTAIs at a tertiary hospital and to investigate postimplant hypertension.

Inclusion of Pulmonary Embolism Response in a Level I Vascular Emergency Program: A Good Fit in a Collaborative, Multidisciplinary System
The value of a systematic approach for assessment and management of life and limb threatening emergencies has been demonstrated by the success of organized trauma centers, stroke centers, and STEMI programs throughout the United States. Recognizing the applicability of a standardized care process to vascular emergencies, Dr. Michael Dalsing of Indiana University –Methodist Hospital led his academic faculty and hospital in the development of a statewide referral and rapid response system for vascular emergencies in 2009.

Natural History of Carotid Artery Occlusion
Carotid artery occlusion (CAO) is a risk factor for stroke ipsilateral to the occlusion and puts patients in a high-risk category when contralateral endarterectomy is performed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients with internal CAO and to determine risk factors predictive of subsequent neurological event, contralateral carotid intervention, or death. Patients with internal CAO shown by duplex ultrasonography were retrospectively identified and followed between January 2002 and June 2010 (follow-up: 1–101 months, mean: 52 months) at a tertiary care hospital. All had multiple duple...
