  2. 1. Patients' Experience of Undergoing Vascular Interventional Radiology and Radiographers´ Experience of Caring for these Patients

    Author : Maud Lundén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; patient perspective; radiographers´perspective; PTA; PCI; calm; anxiety; hermeneutic; content analysis;

    Abstract : Abstract Heart and vascular disease is a health problem through out the world and the technical development in the Interventional Radiology (IR) field is rapid. The possibilities to treat vascular disease has expanded vastly and instead of having traditional open surgery the treatment can be performed by catheterization guided with radiology. READ MORE

  4. 2. The impact of duplex scanning in the management of chronic lower limb arterial disease

    Author : Annika Boström Ardin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Duplex; Ultrasound; lower extremity; arterial; chronic ishemia; selection; surgery; PTA; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : In patients with chronic lower extremity ischemia in which endovascular or surgical intervention is considered non-invasive evaluation by duplex scanning provides important anatomical and hemodynamic information. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the impact of duplex scanning in the selection of various therapeutic alternatives in limbs with lower extremity arterial insufficiency. READ MORE

    Author : Carl Magnus Wahlgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Restenosis; neointimal hyperplasia; thrombin inhibition; angioplasty; PTA; outcome analysis; coagulation; inflammation; CRP; thioredoxin; oxidative stres;

    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. Infrainguinal Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty in Limbs with Severe Lower Limb Ischaemia

    Author : Anne-Marie Löfberg; Wojciech Cwikiel; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; infrainguinal; chronic ischaemia; percutaneous transluminal angioplasty; duplex; bypass grafts; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi; radiologi; Radiology;

    Abstract : Infrainguinal bypass grafting is an established method in the treatment of patients with femoropopliteal and crural occlusive disease leading to critical lower limb ischaemia (CLI). However, complications related to surgical procedure are not negligible and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) has emerged as an alternative. READ MORE

  7. 5. 3D Rotational Angiography of Transplanted Renal Arteries : A Clinical and Experimental Study
