Vascular Surgery Workforce: Evaluation and Estimation of Future Demand in the United Kingdom.
Vascular disease is a common cause of death and disability in our growing elderly population, and demand for vascular procedures is increasing worldwide. Workforce planning is essential to meet future demand and provide safe vascular services. Our aim was to evaluate the current workforce in the United Kingdom (UK) and estimate future demand for vascular surgeons.

Conservative management of knee arthropathy in a patient with Klippel Trenaunay syndrome
We present the case of a patient with a diagnosis of KTS and severe knee arthropathy. A 34-year-old man with KTS was referred to our hospital with severe knee arthropathy, with the joint fixed in a 90 ° position. CT Angiography and MRI of the left leg showed important varicose development of the superficial venous system with intraarticular vessels. After discussion of the case by a multidisciplinary committee, the patient was enrolled on a physiotherapy program and had achieved significant impr ovements in movement and quality of life at 12-month follow-up. Treatment of KTS is primarily conservative and a multidisciplina...

Epidemiology of concomitant injuries in traumatic thoracic aortic rupture: A meta-analysis.
Abstract Traumatic thoracic aortic rupture is a highly lethal injury. For those who arrive alive at the hospital, it is of utmost importance to quickly evaluate concomitant injuries and prioritize therapeutic interventions. We aimed to review the frequency of concomitant injuries in patients with thoracic aortic rupture, according to anatomic location and type of injury. A systematic literature search of six medical databases led to the identification of 90 publications; 27 categories of thoracic aortic rupture concomitant injuries were thereafter created. The respective pooled proportions and 95% confidence inter...

Age is just a number: Is frailty being ignored in vascular access planning for dialysis?
Authors: Kuningas K, Inston N Abstract Current international guidelines advocate fistula creation as first choice for vascular access in haemodialysis patients, however, there have been suggestions that in certain groups of patients, in particular the elderly, a more tailored approach is needed. The prevalence of more senior individuals receiving renal replacement therapy has increased in recent years and therefore including patient age in decision making regarding choice of vascular access for dialysis has gained more relevance. However, it seems that age is being used as a surrogate for overall clinical condition...

Challenges After the First Decade of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Focus on Vascular Complications, Stroke, and Paravalvular Leak
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is entering its second decade. Three major clinical challenges have emerged from the first decade of experience: vascular complications, stroke, and paravalvular leak (PVL). Major vascular complications remain common and independently predict major bleeding, transfusion, renal failure, and mortality. Although women are more prone to vascular complications, overall they have better survival than men. Further predictors of major vascular complications include heavily diseased femoral arteries and operator experience. Strategies to minimize vascular complications include a multimo...

Post-thrombotic syndrome and venous disease-specific quality of life in patients with vascular Behçet disease
Conclusions We found lower PTS risk and better venous disease-specific QoL, symptom severity, and venous disability scores in VBD patients compared with the non-BD group. Venous disease-specific QoL negatively correlated with disease activity. Effective control of vascular inflammation through treatment in VBD might explain lower rates of PTS and better venous QoL outcomes in VBD patients. Our results suggest that successful control of BD activity might decrease the development of PTS, improve venous disease-specific QoL, and prevent relapses in VBD.

Recent time trends in incidence, outcome and premorbid treatment of atrial fibrillation-related stroke and other embolic vascular events: a population-based study
Conclusions We found no reduction in incidence of AF-related vascular events since publication of the BAFTA trial. A third of all disabling/fatal strokes occur in non-anticoagulated patients with known prior AF.

A symptomatic pseudoaneurysm caused by stent fracture in the external iliac artery.
Abstract Pseudoaneurysms, as a result of endovascular stent fracture, are a rare yet important vascular surgery complication. A 64-year-old man presented with a painful mass in the left groin with accompanying critical ischemia of the left leg. Diagnostic angiography revealed a pseudoaneurysm caused by stent fracture in the left external iliac artery. The patient was treated with embolization of the left external iliac artery and ultimately above-the-knee amputation. Awareness of this uncommon complication is important due to its potential risk of severe disability. PMID: 23518843 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
