Arm Composite Autogenous Vascular Access Using the Great Saphenous Vein and the Femoral Vein: Results from a Single-centre Study
Conclusion: With a high rate of postoperative morbidity and re-intervention, the ACAVA is a useful additional technique that should be restricted to difficult cases with limited vascular access options.

Outcomes Reported by the Vascular Quality Initiative and the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Are not Comparable
The Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) and the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) are databases of vascular surgery outcomes. VQI uses self-reporting to capture all vascular procedures during the inpatient period. NSQIP employs nurse abstractors to capture a sample of procedures and covers 30-day events. We hypothesize that patients undergoing lower extremity bypass (LEB) exhibit high concordance for preoperative variables and low concordance for postoperative variable.

Patient and Clinical Characteristics Associated with Readmission Among Patients Undergoing Vascular Surgery
Readmission following vascular surgery intervention is frequent, costly, and often considered preventable. Vascular surgery outcomes have recently been scrutinized by Medicare, given high rates of readmission. We determine patient and clinical characteristics that predict readmission in a cohort of vascular surgery patients.

Use of Vascular Shunts in Unstable Lower Extremity Trauma Patients
We present a case of a 25-year-old male with gunshot to both lower extremities who was unstable at the time of admission. Bilateral superficial femoral arter and femoral vein injuries were found on exploration. Since the patient was unstable due to massive bleeding, vascular continuity was restored using argyle shunts in all vessels. Shunts were secured using vessel loops. After control of bleeding, the patient was started on heparin. Patient was taken to the intensive care unit for resuscitation. The patient was brought back to the operating room 24 hours later, and bilateral superficial femoral arteries and femoral veins...

Early Returns: Operative Logs for Traditional Vascular Fellowship Track Versus Integrated Vascular Training Programs
In this study we assessed the initial operative experience of those graduating from the new “0-5” integrated programs compared with those from the traditional “5-2” model.

Exploring the Training Experiences of a Direct-Entry Vascular Surgery Resident Cohort Using Focus Groups
Training in vascular surgery is currently undergoing a transition in paradigm from a 5+2 fellowship pathway to a 0+5 direct-entry pathway after medical school. Given the unique positions of the first postgraduate year 1 to 3 (PGY 1-3) vascular surgery trainees in Canada, they are ideal candidates for soliciting insight and first impressions of this new training paradigm. Very few studies have explored or evaluated resident satisfaction and experiences during surgical training, and, to our knowledge, none have specifically looked at the Canadian vascular surgery training programs.

Resident Views on Vascular Ultrasonography Education: A Canadian Perspective
With the requirement to obtain RPVI certification as of 2014 in American vascular surgery programs, formal vascular ultrasound (VUS) training is expected in vascular surgery training. Canadian programs, however, do not have the same credentialing requirements, and not all programs have formal VUS training. We sought to determine whether Canadian trainees desire additional VUS training, how this training should be delivered, and what role they see VUS playing in their future practice.

Heart Rate Is Not a Reliable Predictor of Adverse Cardiac Outcomes or Mortality After Major Elective Vascular Surgery
Arrival heart rate (AHR) and heart rate control (HRC) are known indicators of cardiovascular complications after cardiac surgery, but there is little evidence of their role in predicting outcome after major vascular surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine whether AHR and HRC are predictive of mortality or major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after elective vascular surgery in the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI).

Electron microscopy study of a vascular prosthesis destructed in vivo reveals fractures in Dacron fibers.
We report a case of a 64-year-old male who had his 12-year-old femoropopliteal synthetic graft explanted due to two large pseudoaneurysms in the middle section of the graft. Microscopic evaluation demonstrated the areas of focal thinning along the entire prosthesis wall, with "foreign body" type reaction in the adjacent connective tissue. Transmission electron microscopy showed longitudinal fractures of Dacron fibers interposed with cellular structures, suggesting that destruction must have taken place significantly earlier. The problems of limited graft durability and graft surveillance are discussed. PMID: 25957345 ...

Improving Care and Outcomes for Older Vascular Surgical Patients
Geriatric syndromes are common in older vascular surgery inpatients and associated with poorer outcomes. Multidisciplinary geriatric interventions can reduce geriatric syndromes in other inpatient groups. This pilot study examined the effect of a multidisciplinary improvement intervention for older vascular surgery patients.

Postoperative Outcomes Correlate With Frailty Defined Using Vascular Quality Initiative Data
Frailty is a multifactorial condition that correlates with clinical outcomes after surgery. We hypothesized that frailty could be defined using information collected as part of the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) and would correlate with vascular surgery postoperative outcomes.

Drivers of Readmissions in Vascular Surgery Patients
Readmissions are frequent in vascular surgery patients, but it is not clear which factors are the drivers of readmissions. Specifically, the relative contributions of patient comorbidities vs postoperative complications are unknown. We sought to study the potential drivers of readmission and create a model for predicting the risk of readmission in vascular patients.
