Femoro-popliteal bypass versus remote endarterectomy: a propensity matched analysis.

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare femoropopliteal bypass (FPB) and remote endarterectomy (RE) for long femoropopliteal lesions.

Methods: Single center retrospective propensity matching analysis of the symptomatic patients with long occlusion of the femoro-popliteal segment (>250 mm), who underwent femoro-popliteal bypass above the knee or remote endarterectomy from 2014 to 2020. Primary endpoints: primary patency (PP), secondary patency (SP), target lesion revascularization (TLR).

Impact of shaggy aorta on intraoperative cerebral embolism during carotid artery stenting.

Background: Careful selection of patients for carotid stenting is necessary. We suggest that patients with a shaggy aorta syndrome may be at higher risk for perioperative embolic complications.

Methods: The study is a retrospective subanalysis of the SIBERIA Trial.

Treatment of acute pulmonary embolism after catheter-directed thrombolysis with dabigatran vs warfarin: Results of a multicenter randomized RE-SPIRE trial.

Background: Thrombolytic therapy is effective method in the high-risk acute pulmonary embolism (PE) treatment. Reduced-dose thrombolysis (RDT) plus oral anticoagulation therapy is effective and safe method in the moderate and severe PE treatment. It is leading to good early and intermediate-term outcomes.

Fibrin Sealant TISSEEL Lyo as a haemostatic agent in vascular surgery: Results of randomized, controlled, patient-blinded, multicentre clinical study in the Russian population.

Background: This phase III, controlled, patient-blinded, multicentre study in two parallel, equal-sized treatment groups compared the efficacy and safety of TISSEEL Lyo, fibrin sealant versus Manual Compression (MC) with surgical gauze pads for use as a haemostatic agent in patients who underwent vascular surgery in Russia.

Methods: Adult patients, both genders, who received peripheral vascular expanded polytetrafluoroethylene conduits and had suture line bleeding after surgical haemostasis were enrolled. Patients were randomized to be treated with TISSEEL Lyo or MC.

Treatment of Long Femoropopliteal Occlusive Lesions With Self-expanding Interwoven Nitinol Stent: 24 Month Outcomes of the STELLA-SUPERA-SIBERIA Register Trial.

Purpose: The efficacy and safety of the Supera stent in superficial femoral artery (SFA) have been reported mostly in shorter lesions with relatively low proportion of occlusions. There are little data on the effectiveness of the Supera stent in long lesions. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical safety and efficiency of the Supera stent in the treatment of long femoropopliteal occlusive lesions (Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus [TASC] C/D) in patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease.
