Published scientific evidence demonstrate the current spread of healthcare misinformation in the most popular social networks and unofficial communication channels. Up to 40% of the medical websites were identified reporting inappropriate information, moreover being shared more than 450,000 times in a 5-year-time frame. The phenomenon is particularly spread in infective diseases medicine, oncology and cardiovascular medicine. The present document is the result of a scientific and educational endeavor by a worldwide group of top experts who selected and analyzed the major issues and related evidence-based facts on vein and lymphatic management...

BACKGROUND: Graduated compression stocking (GCS) is one the most widely used intervention methods in decreasing venous stasis and preventing deep venous thrombosis in hospital patients. However, changes of femoral vein speed after using GCS, combining ankle pump movement or not, and the efficacy difference of GCS among brands are still unclear. METHODS: In this single-center cross-sectional study, healthy participants were assigned to wear one of the three different GCSs (type A, B and C) on both legs...

BACKGROUND: Continued blood flow in the aneurysm sac after repair, also known as endoleak, can occur after both open and endovascular popliteal aneurysm repair (EPAR) with risk for aneurysm sac enlargement. Primary aims were to investigate aneurysm sac growth and the presence and classification of endoleak after EPAR using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). METHODS: Cross-sectional study of patients receiving EPAR with expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE) covered stent-grafts between 1st of January 2009 and 1st of February 2019 at a tertiary referral endovascular center...

BACKGROUND: Measurement of volume has the potential to detect subtle growth not recognized in the current surveillance paradigm of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Currently available three-dimensional ultrasound allows for estimation of AAA volume, but for most patients, the AAA extends beyond the ultrasound field-of-view and only allows visualization of a partial AAA volume. A new extended field-of-view three-dimensional ultrasound protocol (XFoV US) has been found to improve the proportion of patients with visualization of the full AAA volume...

Varicose veins (VVs) mostly represent benign disease. However, in some cases, they can lead to serious complications including deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Besides deteriorated blood flow caused by VVs inflammation is most probably a common denominator of VVs and DVT, which promotes a procoagulant state and thrombus formation also in deep veins. Patients with VVs have increased levels of interleukins, the most specific inflammatory markers of vascular wall inflammation that promote coagulation...

BACKGROUND: Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in 65-year-old males reduces aneurysm related mortality. Infrarenal aortic diameter (IAD) has been shown to correlate to body surface area (BSA) which could influence diagnostic criteria for AAA. This study investigates whether AAA growth rates are also dependent on BSA, as that might have potential effects on surveillance of small AAAs. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective, single center cohort study of 301 men with screening detected AAA between 2010-2017 with surveillance to 2021...

A properly performed pulse examination can provide an accurate assessment of the arterial circulation to the lower extremity. However, increasing availability of non-invasive vascular laboratory testing, CT-angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, and catheter-based arteriography has deemphasized the use and teaching to student and resident physicians of classic techniques to examine lower extremity pulses. Clinical evaluation and accurate pulse examination may eliminate the need for these often unnecessary and expensive tests to evaluate arterial insufficiency...
