The prothrombotic, hypofibrinolytic diathesis associated with AAA is normalized 12 months after EVAR. This beneficial systemic effect of EVAR for AAA disease may help protect patients against future thromboembolic cardiovascular events.
Aorto-iliac endarterectomy was associated with significantly lower peri-operative morbidity and mortality rates compared with bypass grafting. All three techniques were equally effective in terms of long-term patency.
BTA angioplasty for pedal and plantar arterial occlusive disease is technically feasible. It has good medium-term clinical outcome and limb salvage in a group of patients with poor surgical options.
Surgical mesenteric reconstruction is associated with significantly longer hospital stay, but superior long-term outcome compared to endovascular reconstruction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
