Eight year results of patients with varicose vein underwent endovenous occlusion using n-butyl cyanoacrylate.

Objective: To present the 8-year results of 180 patients on whom we performed endovenous occlusion using N-butyl cyanoacrylate in 2014.

Methods: We have previously published the 30-month results for 168 patients available for follow-up. Thirteen more patients were lost to follow-up in the 8-year research period.

What is the relationship of varicose vein pathogenesis with collagen fibers?

Aims And Background: In this study, the densities of collagen 1 and collagen 4, which are an effective vascular component in the remodelling of varicose veins, were investigated.

Materials And Methods: The study included primary varicose vein samples of 20 patients and vein samples of 20 healthy controls. Immunohistochemical staining was performed using collagen 1 and collagen 4 antibodies.

Internal compression therapy, a novel method in the treatment of deep venous insufficiency: 18-month clinical results.

Objective: To present 18-month clinical results for internal compression therapy (ICT) applied percutaneously and as a novel method in the treatment of primary deep venous insufficiency.

Material And Method: Thirty patients diagnosed with isolated primary femoral vein (FV) insufficiency between October 2017 and February 2018 were included in the study. Pre-procedural femoral vein diameters and reflux durations were measured.

A New Method Involving Percutaneous Application in the Treatment of Deep Venous Insufficiency: An Experimental Study With Internal Compression Therapy in a Porcine Model.

Introduction: To study the efficiency of internal compression therapy (ICT), a new and promising method of treatment for deep venous insufficiency, how that efficiency is achieved, and its potential side-effects, in a porcine model.

Material And Methods: The femoral vein diameters of 4 pigs were first measured. ICT was then applied such as to reduce the diameter of these veins by 50%.

Effects of high-dose vitamin D supplementation on the occurrence of post-operative atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting: randomized controlled trial.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the preventive effects of a high-dose vitamin D administered preoperatively on the post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) occurrence in patients with insufficient or deficient serum vitamin D levels who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery.

Methods: The study was a randomized controlled, blinded and parallel-arm trial conducted on 116 who had vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency during the pre-operative evaluation were included in the study conducted between January 2018 and January 2019. Patients were divided into those who received oral vitamin D (treatment group; n = 58) and those who did not (control group; n = 58) 48 h before CABG surgery.
