Long-term results of carotid body tumours surgery and predictive analytics on metastatic disease and recurrence.

Objective: The determination of clinico-surgical predictors of carotid body tumour (CBT) metastasizing and/or recurrence.

Methods: Patients with CBT but without a history of its previous treatment who had received inpatient medical aid at a tertiary surgical centre during the period 2011-2021 were retrospectively reviewed to obtain baseline data. Primary endpoints of the study were CBT metastasizing and/or local recurrence after radical surgery (composite endpoint) and overall survival.

[Preventive myocardial revascularization prior to abdominal aortic repair in patients without cardiac symptoms: long-term results].

Objective: To evaluate the long-term influence of preoperative invasive coronary screening and preventive myocardial revascularization on mortality and cardiac complications after open surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).

Material And Methods: We present long-term outcomes after open surgery for AAA between 2011 and 2022. Patients without clinical or objective signs of coronary artery disease were included.

[Advisability of carotid endarterectomy in asymptomatic patients].

Objective: To determine the optimal treatment strategy for patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis.

Material And Methods: The authors reviewed clinical guidelines for the management of patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis 60-99%, as well as medical studies and meta-analyses comparing carotid endarterectomy and optimal drug therapy in asymptomatic patients between 1993 and 2023.

Results: The choice of treatment strategy for patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis is still a controversial issue.

[Evolution of surgical approaches to carotid bifurcation].

Carotid endarterectomy is preferable for prevention of acute cerebrovascular accident associated with atherosclerotic lesions of internal carotid artery. Modern interest in minimizing local complications and small excisions is also actual in carotid surgery. The authors review the modern literature data on evolution of carotid arteries exposure.

Prevalence of and Factors Associated With Extraintestinal Manifestations and Their Remission in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: The EXTRA-Intestinal Manifestation Prospective Study From the Groupe d'Etude Thérapeutique des Affections Inflammatoires du Tube Digestif.

Introduction: Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are challenging clinical situation. No prospective study assessed remission risk factors of EIMs. The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate the epidemiology, risk factors of EIM occurrence, and EIM remission in a large IBD cohort.
