BACKGROUND: Subjects exposed to occupational standing are at risk of developing chronic venous disease. Graduated compression stockings (GCS) counteract venous hypertension. Aim of the present investigation was to assess GCS clinical and cost effectiveness in prolonged standing up workers. METHODS: Randomized controlled trial involving 75 healthy healthcare professionals working in 6 hours standing up shifts without or with GCS (group A and B, respectively). Outcome measures were performed before and after the shift, at baseline (T0), at 1 (T1), 6 (T6) and 12 (T12) months and included lower limb volume, air plethysmography (APG), quality of life, and dedicated cost-effectiveness questionnaires...

Vascular compression syndromes (VCS) are rare diseases, but they may cause significant symptoms interfering with the quality of life (QoL) of patients who are often in their younger age. Given their infrequent occurrence, multiform clinical and anatomical presentation, and absence of dedicated guidelines from scientific societies, further knowledge of these conditions is required to investigate and treat them using modern imaging and surgical (open or endovascular) techniques. This consensus document will focus on known VCS, affecting the arterial and venous system...

BACKGROUND: In this paper, results of in-vivo experiments on the animals of endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) using laser radiation with the wavelength 1910 nm are reported. The results of histological studies of the vein segments removed immediately after the procedure and in a long-term period (30 days and 3 months) are presented. Their structural transformation and the obliteration degree of the vein lumen using different values of the linear energy density of laser radiation (LEED=7...

BACKGROUND: Aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate preoperative factors affecting long-term mortality in patients survived to surgical repair for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAAs). METHODS: From January 2007 to December 2021, 444 patients have been treated for symptomatic or ruptured aortoiliac aneurysms in two tertiary referral centers. Only 405 with diagnosis of rAAA at computed tomography were included in the present study. Initial outcome measures were assessed during at 30 and 90 days post-treatment...

BACKGROUND: Sclerotherapy is among the mainstays of chronic venous disease treatment, yet its occlusion rate remains suboptimal compared to thermal tumescent techniques. An innovative three-balloons catheter has been developed to allow sclerotherapy in empty vein conditions (empty vein ablation technique, EVA). Aim of this investigation was to describe the EVA technical aspects and related ex-vivo effects on vein wall. METHODS: Two samples from jugular veins of an adult sheep were treated by EVA or foam sclerotherapy (FS, Tessari method)...

BACKGROUND: Several models and scores have been released to predict early mortality in patients undergoing surgery for a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA). These scores included above all preoperative factors and they could be useful to deny surgical repair. The aim of the study was to evaluate intraoperative predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing open surgical repair (OSR) for a rAAA. METHODS: Between January 2007 and December 2020, 265 patients were admitted at our tertiary referral hospital for a rAAA...

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate whether intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) combined with angiography during percutaneous transluminal angioplasty impacts treatment strategies and the 12-month patency of the femoropopliteal artery, compared to angiography alone. METHODS: This retrospective, single-center study enrolled 137 patients who underwent a femoropopliteal endovascular intervention between February 2020 and May 2021. Among these interventions, 43 were guided by IVUS combined with angiography and the remaining 94 were guided by angiography only...

BACKGROUND: Varicose veins (VV) and mitral valve regurgitation (MR) are both common diseases. The aim was to investigate whether VV are associated with an increased risk of MR. METHODS: We conducted a nationwide cohort study to assess the association between VV and risk of developing MR. Drawn from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD), the records of 56,898 patients with VV (the VV cohort) and 56,898 propensity score-matched patients without VV (the non-VV cohort) in the years 2007 to 2015 were identified...

EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: Research questions were defined, and a literature search was performed following the PRISMA guidelines for scoping reviews. Multicenter, single-center observational studies were considered eligible...

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to report long-term results of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in a single tertiary Hospital. METHODS: One thousand seven hundred seventy-seven consecutive AAA repairs (2003-2018) were included. Primary outcomes were all-cause mortality, AAA-related mortality, reinterventions rate. Open repair (OSR) was offered in case the patient had a functional capacity ≥4 metabolic equivalents (MET), and a predicted >10 year life expectancy...

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: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) results in a marked reduction of intrasac pressure, which is the likely cause of aneurysm sac shrinkage. We evaluated the change of intrasac pressure during operation and its association with aneurysm sac shrinkage one year after EVAR. METHODS: This study included 113 patients undergoing EVAR using the Gore C3 Excluder at our university hospital between March 2016 and December 2020. A direct intrasac pressure was measured before and after stent deployment...

BACKGROUND: Critical limb threatening-ischemia (CLTI) can be due to an extensive involvement of both the aorto-iliac (AI) and the infra-inguinal (II) districts and the efficacy of and extensive AI+II vs. only AI revascularization is still matter of debate. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the outcome in CLTI patients with concomitant AI and II peripheral artery disease (PAD) after revascularization limited to the AI or extended also to the II segment. METHODS: Patients with CLTI and concomitant AI (TransAtlantic InterSociety Consensus: C-D) and II PAD (Global-Anatomic-Staging-System: II-III) from 2016 to 2021 were retrospectively evaluated...

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...
