A comparative study between cryo-laser cryo-sclerotherapy and sclerotherapy in the treatment of telangiectasia and reticular veins: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: Telangiectasias, characterized by dilated venules, are frequently observed in the lower extremities. Sclerotherapy stands out as the predominant treatment of these vascular lesions. The integration of laser therapy with a mild sclerosing agent, serving as an osmotic sclerosant, presents an enhanced cosmetic treatment approach, aiming to optimize outcomes and minimize potential adverse effects.

The outcome of sharp recanalization of chronic central venous occlusions in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Background: Patients on hemodialysis are particularly vulnerable to central venous occlusion (CVO). Endovascular treatment has gained wide acceptance for the treatment of CVO. However, difficulties in crossing the occluded segment can be encountered during conventional endovascular management.

Systematic review of the relationship between Hollenhorst plaques and cerebrovascular events.

Background: Few studies have evaluated the association between asymptomatic cholesterol emboli on fundoscopy (known as Hollenhorst plaque) and the subsequent risk of stroke or death..

Aim: To evaluate the association between the presence of asymptomatic cholesterol retinal emboli and the risk of cerebrovascular events, with assessment of the need for carotid intervention.

Varicose veins as a risk factor for venous thromboembolism in arthroplasty patients: Meta-analysis.

Objective: A meta-analysis to determine if patients with varicose veins are at an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) when undergoing major lower limb arthroplasty.

Methods: Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched using appropriate terms for studies that reported post-operative VTE in patients who had lower limb arthroplasty with any history of varicose veins. Methodological quality of included studies was quantified using the Risk of Bias (ROB) assessment tools.

Management of Buerger's Disease in Endovascular Era.

This study was aimed to report data on the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of endovascular procedures in a thromboangiitis obliterans diagnosed patients presenting with critical limb ischemia (CLI). Prospective study conducted on patients affected by Buerger's disease who presented to our center along 2 years. Clinical, radiological, and patient-based outcomes were recorded at 3, 6, and 12 months after the intervention.
