European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery

OBJECTIVE: To assess trends in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) hospital admissions, interventions, and aneurysm related mortality in England, and to examine the impact of endovascular repair on mortality for the years 1998 - 2020. METHODS: Hospital admission and operative approach (endovascular aortic aneurysm repair, or open surgical repair [OSR]) using Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES), and aneurysm related mortality data from the Office for National Statistics for England standardised to the 2013 European Standard Population, were analysed using linear regression and Joinpoint regression analyses...

OBJECTIVE: To report sex-specific overall attendance rate, prevalence of screening detected cardiovascular conditions, proportion of unknown conditions before screening, and proportion initiating prophylactic medicine among 67-year-olds in Denmark. DESIGN: Cross-sectional cohort study. METHODS: Since 2014, all 67-year-olds in Viborg, Denmark, have been invited to screen for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), peripheral arterial disease (PAD), carotid plaque (CP), hypertension, cardiac disease, and type 2 diabetes...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the association between common iliac vein (CIV) compression and pulmonary embolism (PE) in lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). METHODS: This was a single centre retrospective study. Between January 2016 and December 2021, DVT patients with enhanced computed tomography of the iliac vein and pulmonary artery were included. Patient demographics, comorbidities, risk factors, and CIV compression degree were collected and analysed...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to describe and present the outcomes of a specific treatment protocol for aortic vascular graft and endograft infections (VGEIs) without explantation of the infected graft. METHODS: This was a retrospective, observational single centre cohort study carried out between 2012 and 2022 at a tertiary hospital. An aortic VGEI was defined according to the Management of Aortic Graft Infection Collaboration (MAGIC) criteria. Fitness for graft excision was assessed by a multidisciplinary team and included an evaluation of the patient's general condition, septic status, and anatomical complexity...

OBJECTIVE: The aims were to determine whether when treating diabetic foot ulcers (1) selecting an angiosome directed (AD) vessel as the target arterial path (TAP) when candidate vessels have comparably severe disease impacts outcomes and (2) whether a more severely affected AD vessel or a less severely affected non-angiosome directed (NAD) vessel should be chosen. METHODS: This was a retrospective observational study. Patients with diabetic foot ulcers who had undergone endovascular revascularisation in this institution from January 2016 to May 2020 and had been followed up for two years were included...
