  2. 1. Acute limb ischaemia : Treatment, outcome and time trends

    Author : Olivia Grip; Martin Bjöck; Clark Zeebregts; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Acute limb ischaemi; Treatment; Open revascularisation; Endovascular revascularisation; Outcome; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : Acute limb ischaemia (ALI) is a frequent emergency associated with high rates of amputation and death. Traditionally, patients with ALI were treated with open surgical removal of the occlusion or bypass surgery. During the past few decades, new endovascular techniques developed. READ MORE

  4. 2. Outcomes of invasive treatment in chronic limb-threatening ischaemia

    Author : Angelica Perlander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chronic limb-threatening ischaemia; health-related quality of life; cost effectiveness; bypass; endovascular; amputation-free survival; critical limb ischaemia;

    Abstract : Background In chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI), obstruction of the arterial blood flow causes ischaemic rest pain, ulcers or gangrene in the lower extremities. Patients with CLTI have a substantial risk of amputation unless the blood flow is improved, which requires invasive treatment through either open surgery or endovascular intervention. READ MORE

  5. 3. Inflammatory Response in Peripheral Arterial Disease

    Author : Peter Danielsson; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; muskelsystem; reumatologi; rheumatology locomotion; Skelett; Skeleton; Polymorphism; Metabolism; Prostacyclin; Microdislysis; Diabetes mellitus; Revascularisation; Angioplasty; Endothelial cells; White blood cells; Inflammation; Peripheral Arterial Disease; muscle system;

    Abstract : Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the manifestation of atherosclerotic lesions in arteries supplying blood to the legs. Atherosclerosis is now recognized as an inflammatory disease of the vessel wall and important features in the pathophysiology are activation of WBC, endothelial cells and increased levels of inflammatory mediators.

  6. 4. Invasive treatment of renal artery stenosis - effects on blood pressure, medication, renal function and inflammatory biomarkers

    Author : Alaa Al Hadad; Lund Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Cardiovascular system; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; inflammatory biomarkers; renal artery stenosis; Renovascular hypertension; percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty; mean pressure gradient;

    Abstract : Renal artery stenosis (RAS) causes hypertension, decreased glomerular filteration rate (GFR), and renal ischemia. RAS is progressive and causes 5-16% of all cases of renal failure. Prevalence of RAS in patients with hypertension is 1-5%. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mechanisms of thrombosis and restenosis after vascular injury

    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
