Prospective Cost Analysis and Implications of Wound Complications in Lower Extremity Vascular Surgery Procedures
Wound complications (WCs), such as surgical site infection, wound dehiscence, hematoma, and seroma after surgery cause significant morbidity and require additional resources to treat. We sought to quantify the marginal cost of WCs in patients undergoing open lower extremity vascular procedures.

MARCKS Signaling Differentially Regulates Vascular Smooth Muscle and Endothelial Cell Proliferation Through a p27-Dependent Mechanism
Intimal hyperplasia is the result of pathologic vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) dedifferentiation to a migratory and proliferative phenotype. Myristoleated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) is overexpressed in animal models of intimal hyperplasia. MARCKS knockdown has been demonstrated to arrest VSMC proliferation, with little effect on endothelial cell (EC) proliferation in vitro. We sought to identify the mechanism of MARCKS-mediated differential regulation of proliferation.

The in vivo characterization of electrospun heparin-bonded polycaprolactone in small-diameter vascular reconstruction.
CONCLUSION: This preliminary study demonstrates that heparin-bonded polycaprolactone is a suitable graft for small artery reconstruction. However, heparin-bonded polycaprolactone degrades more rapidly than polycaprolactone in vivo. PMID: 25208900 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Future Demands for Vascular Care: A Census-Based Analysis
Changing population size and distribution, incidence of disease and risk factors, and the likelihood of need for care partly determines the demands for health care in the future. The introduction of advanced technology, patient and society's expectations, the growing at-risk population, and increased recognition of risk factors have impacted on vascular disease management. Studies in many countries predict a dramatic increase in the need for care for vascular issues. A “business as usual” model predicts a large increase in the medical manpower requirements to meet this.

Exploring Patient Involvement in Decision Making for Vascular Procedures
Initiatives to develop patient-centered approaches to health care are a priority that may have profound effects on health care, particularly within value-based purchasing and risk-sharing models. Patient-centered care requires more direct engagement of patients in their own care, including treatment decisions. Patient participation in treatment selection for vascular procedures has not been characterized, and the potential effects of greater patient involvement are unknown. We conducted a prospective study among patients undergoing vascular procedures to identify important sources of information and characterize experience...

Antiplatelet and Statin Treatment Is Not Associated With Reduced Myocardial Infarction After High-Risk Vascular Procedures
Medical management (MM) with antiplatelet (AP) and statin therapy is recommended for most patients undergoing vascular surgery. We evaluated the preoperative use of these on postoperative myocardial infarction (MI) in patients undergoing high-risk procedures within the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI).

Pretreatment of synthetic vascular grafts with heparin before implantation, a simple technique to reduce the risk of thrombosis.
We examined whether pretreatment of the graft with heparin reduces the risk of early thrombosis. A circuit was assembled to compare two pairs of shunts simultaneously in the same animal. The study shunts were pretreated with heparin. After 2 hours of circulation, clot formation was evaluated by image analysis techniques. The pretreated grafts had fewer blood clots adhered to the surface by direct visual inspection. The image analysis showed 5 vs. 39 clots, 0.01% vs. 1.8% clotted area, and 62 vs. 5630 clot pixel area between the treated and non-treated grafts respectively, p < 0.05. Pretreatment of the synthetic graf...

A rare combination of atypical cerebral vascular anatomy.
Abstract A 57-year-old woman presented with neurologic deficits consistent with a cerebrovascular accident. Her workup demonstrated the simultaneous occurrence of three uncommon cerebrovascular congenital anomalies in a single patient: (1) persistent trigeminal artery, (2) persistent fetal origin of the posterior cerebral artery and (3) bilateral occurrence of the vertebral arteries terminating in the posterior inferior cerebellar arteries. These persistent fetal cerebrovascular anatomic variants are reviewed and the clinical relevance discussed. PMID: 25414171 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcome of the FUSION vascular graft for above-knee femoropopliteal bypass
Although endovascular procedures have become popular for the treatment of patients with femoropopliteal occlusive disease, open surgical bypass is still required in a significant proportion of patients. Saphenous vein is the conduit of choice, but prosthetic bypass grafts are often necessary. The Peripheral Bypass Grafting: Prospective Evaluation of FUSION Vascular Graft for Above Knee Targets (PERFECTION) trial was performed to assess the clinical outcome of the FUSION vascular graft (Maquet Cardiovascular, Wayne, NJ), a novel bilayer prosthetic graft with an external expanded polytetrafluoroethylene inner layer and an ou...

Participation in the Vascular Quality Initiative is associated with improved perioperative medication use, which is associated with longer patient survival
Medical management (MM) with antiplatelet (AP) and statin therapy is recommended for most patients undergoing vascular surgery and has been advocated by the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI). We analyzed the effect of VQI participation on perioperative (preoperative and postoperative) MM use over time and the effect of discharge MM on patient survival.
