  2. 1. Iatrogenic Vascular Injuries

    Author : Håkan Rudström; Martin Björck; David Bergqvist; Carl Magnus Wahlgren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vascular injuries; vascular surgery; vascular trauma; injury; medical error; patient safety; postoperative death; postoperative mortality; patient insurance; varicose veins; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Iatrogenic vascular injuries (IVIs) and injuries associated with vascular surgery can cause severe morbidity and death. The aims of this thesis were to study those injuries in the Swedish vascular registry (Swedvasc), the Swedish medical injury insurance where insurance claims are registered, the Population and Cause of death registries, and in patient records, in order to explore preventive strategies.

  4. 2. Thrombolysis in vascular surgery

    Author : Linn Smith; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background and aims: Thrombolysis is in common use in the treatment of acute forms of vascular disease. It may be used both systemically and locally, in the latter case through an endovascular approach, socalled catheter-directed thrombolysis. READ MORE

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of about 50% of all deaths in the western world. Peripheral vascular disease commonly affects the arteries supplying the leg and is mostly caused by atherosclerosis. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cytomegalovirus infection in vascular diseases and transplant rejection

    Author : Mensur Dzabic; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infects 60-100% of the adult population. It belongs to the Herpesviridae family and establishes latency within its host post primary infection. HCMV reactivation is dependent on inflammation and the virus has evolved numerous mechanisms to sustain an inflammatory process and thus prolong its replication period. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies on vascular remodeling in acute coronary artery disease

    Author : Fei Chen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Atherosclerosis; unstable angina; matrix metalloproteinase; apoptosis; angiogenesis; remodeling;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis is an arterial disease, characterized by endothelial dysfunction, vascular inflammation, and lipid accumulation in the vessel wall. Unstable coronary syndroms may be initiated by rupture of the atherosclerotic plaque, which may be caused by activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), apoptosis and angiogenesis. READ MORE
