Aggressive venous thromboembolism prophylaxis reduces VTE events in vascular surgery patients.
CONCLUSIONS: The overall rate of VTE was reduced by 75% after the initiation of a standard protocol for pharmacologic VTE prophylaxis. These findings justify an aggressive approach to VTE prophylaxis in vascular surgery patients.

Examination of race and infrainguinal bypass conduit use in the Society for Vascular Surgery Vascular Quality Initiative.
CONCLUSION: Racial disparities exist in conduit use for infrainguinal bypass, with black and Hispanic patients less likely to receive vein bypasses. However, the contribution of race to conduit selection is small in adjusted and unadjusted models. Overall, pre-operative variables in the Vascular Quality Initiative poorly predicted vein conduit use for infrainguinal bypass.

Physician Reimbursement for Vascular Surgery Procedures and Vascular Laboratory Studies Before and After the Affordable Care  Act
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), fully implemented by 2015, has significantly increased the number of Americans with health insurance. However, its impact on physician reimbursement (PR) is not well studied. Our objective was to determine the ACA's impact on the professional component of PR for selected vascular surgery (VS) procedures and vascular laboratory (VL) studies at our institution.

Transition From Current Accuracy Measures in the Vascular Laboratory Will Be Required for Future Accreditation and Payment Models
The Medicare Accessibility and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Reauthorization Act (MACRA) brings with it increased regulatory requirements not traditionally addressed by standard vascular laboratory (VL) accreditation, which is based on accuracy. The Intersocietal Accreditation Commission new Quality Improvement project may satisfy an Improvement Activity (IA) of MACRA. We hypothesize that other IAs in MACRA, such as timeliness of test results or patient care Quality Performance requirements, can be met by analyzing data already collected by the VL.

Outpatient Vascular Care: Good, bad or ugly?
BY ANISH KOKA
Filling in the holes of recent stories in the New York Times, and Propublica on the outpatient care of patients with peripheral arterial disease
Most have gotten used to egregiously bad coverage of current events that fills the pages of today’s New York Times, but even by their now very low standards a recent telling of a story about peripheral artery disease was very bad.
The scintillating allegation by Katie Thomas, Jessica Silver-Greenberg and Robert Gebeloff is that “medical device makers are bankrolling doctors to perform artery clearing procedures that can lead to amputationsâ€...

Current status of dialysis and vascular access in Taiwan.
Authors: Chen CF, Chen FA, Lee TL, Liao LF, Chen CY, Tan AC, Chan CH, Lin CC
Abstract
Due to the implementation of the National Health Insurance system in 1995, the number of patients receiving maintenance dialysis has increased rapidly. This contributed to Taiwan to be in an unfortunate position of possessing the highest prevalence of end-stage renal disease globally. Although the age-standardized incidence of end-stage renal disease gradually decreased to -1.1% in 2014, the huge economic burden that comes with dialysis is detrimental to the quality of dialysis treatment. To achieve a balance between economy and q...

Current status of vascular access in Japan-from Dialysis Access Symposium 2017.
Authors: Fukasawa M
Abstract
At the second Dialysis Access Symposium held in Nagoya, Japan, a proposal was made to investigate the differences in vascular access methods used in different countries. In this article, we describe the management of vascular access in Japan. The Japanese population is rapidly aging, and the proportion of elderly patients on dialysis is also increasing. There were 325,000 dialysis patients in Japan at the end of 2015, of whom 65.1% were aged 65 years or above. The number of patients with diabetic nephropathy or nephrosclerosis as the underlying condition is also increasing, whereas th...

Effect of Race and Insurance Status on Outcomes after Vascular Access Placement for Hemodialysis
Background: Race and insurance status are seen as potential barriers to health care access and maintenance. Our goal was to see how these, as well as other patient and procedural characteristics, affected our populations' upper extremity vascular access outcomes.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 601 vascular access patients from 2004 through 2012 in our urban university hospital. We recorded patient demographics, insurance status, comorbidities, and complications. Primary outcomes were reintervention, long-term mortality, and transplantation.Results: Median age was 62 ± 15.8 years, and 58% were male. Most operations w...

Improved Access to Health Care in Massachusetts After 2006 Massachusetts Healthcare Reform Is Associated With a Significant Decrease in Mortality Among Vascular Surgery Patients
Timely access to care is directly impacted by insurance coverage and affects outcomes after vascular procedures. We evaluated trends of in-hospital mortality (IHM) for index vascular procedures so as to assess the effects of 2006 Massachusetts (MA) Healthcare Reform (MHR) on the mortality trends.

Standard procedures of endovascular treatment for vascular access stenosis in our facility - clinical usefulness of ultrasonography.
Authors: Sato T, Tsuboi M, Onogi T, Miwa N, Sakurai H, Ookubo K, Matsubara C, Kasuga H
Abstract
In Japan, the number of patients receiving dialysis is 314,180 at the end of 2013 and 97% are treated with hemodialysis. And the mean age of patients and the percentage of diabetes have been increasing. For this reason, preparations of a new vascular access (VA) and its long-term maintenance have become difficult. In the guidelines by the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy (JSDT), endovascular treatment (ET) is positioned as the first line for VA stenosis. The procedure of ET itself is very simple. The revision of Jap...

Effects of a health promotion program on medication adherence to antiplatelet therapy among ischemic stroke patients in Hainan Province, China.
In conclusion, the health promotion program, based on a train-the-trainer approach, showed positive effects on awareness of and adherence to antiplatelet therapy, which has the potential to be scaled up to other resource-limited areas.

Improved access to health care in Massachusetts after 2006 Massachusetts Healthcare Reform Law is associated with a significant decrease in mortality among vascular surgery patients
Access to medical care, by adequate insurance coverage, has a direct impact on outcomes for patients undergoing vascular procedures. We evaluated in-hospital mortality for patients undergoing index vascular procedures before and after the Massachusetts Healthcare Reform Law (MHRL) in 2006, which mandated insurance for all Massachusetts residents, both in Massachusetts and throughout the United States.
