The Role of Targeted Infra-popliteal Endovascular Angioplasty to Treat Diabetic Foot Ulcers Using the Angiosome Model: A Systematic Review

Erin Saricilar, Raleene Gatmaitan, Kiraati Patel, Mark Yang Abstract Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 […]

Acute Complicated Type B Aortic Dissection: Do Alternative Strategies Versus Central Aortic Repair Make Sense?

Yasaman Kavousi, Caitlin W Hicks Abstract Current guidelines dictate emergency repair for an acute complicated type B aortic dissection (TBAD). Surgical approaches for the treatment of acute complicated TBAD can be divided into open and endovascular. The endovascular approach is further divided into central aortic repair and alternative endovascular techniques. Central repair includes endoluminal aortic

Is There a Difference in Patency Between Patients Undergoing Venous Stenting for Acute Deep Venous Thrombosis Following Thrombus Removal Versus Post-thrombotic Syndrome Stenoses?

Louis Rucker, Audrey Muck, Mark Broering, Patrick Muck Abstract Venous stenting was introduced in the 1990s and has continued to evolve to become the first-line therapy for symptomatic iliofemoral venous outflow pathology. There are several dedicated venous stents available in addition to Boston Scientific’s Wallstent and Cook’s Z-Stent. Numerous studies from tertiary referral centres, as
