Incidence of major complications from embolo-sclerotherapy of head and neck vascular malformations in a single specialist centre
CONCLUSIONS: EST is relatively safe for head and neck vascular malformations in a high-volume experienced centre. Our major complication rate of 14.6% per patient (35.7% for HFVM; 5.9% for LFVM) or 7% per procedure (11.6% for HFVM; 3.5% LFVM) compares favourably with published data from other centres. These data will improve treatment planning and informed consent for EST for both HFVM and LFVM of the head and neck.PMID:34311627 | DOI:10.1177/17085381211035279

Adverse Outcomes Associated With Elective Knee Arthroscopy: A Population-Based Cohort Study
Conclusions: Our study found 6.4 adverse outcomes per 1,000 elective knee arthroscopy procedures (0.64%), with the 3 most common complications being DVT, effusion and synovitis, and PE. We have also identified risk factors for adverse outcomes, particularly chronic kidney disease, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, and cancer.Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.
