Detection of wound healing disorders after major amputations by measurements of the microcirculation: A prospective single-center study.

Introduction: Although major amputations can often be avoided due to evolving methods of endovascular and surgical revascularizations techniques, in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia, it is still necessary in some cases. Aim of this study was the detection of wound healing disorders through intraoperative microcirculation measurements in major limb amputations.

Materials And Methods: In this single-center clinical study, patients with an indication for major amputation were enrolled prospectively.

Independent Factors Influencing Changes in Baroreceptor Sensitivity after Carotid Endarterectomy.

Background: Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a well-established standard therapy for patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic high-grade carotid stenosis. The aim of carotid endarterectomy is to decrease the risk of stroke and avoid relevant functional loss. However, carotid endarterectomy is known to be associated with hemodynamic dysregulation.

Long-Term Experience of Arterio-Venous Fistula Surgery in Children on Hemodialysis.

: Arterio-venous fistulas (AVF) are used as first-line access for hemodialysis (HD) in the pediatric population. The aim of this investigation was to describe a single-center experience in the creation of AVF, together with its patency in children. : This single-center retrospective study included all patients aged ≤18 years with AVFs created between 1993 and 2023.

Teachability of multispectral optoacoustic tomography.

To date, the appropriate training required for the reproducible operation of multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) is poorly discussed. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the teachability of MSOT imaging. Five operators (two experienced and three inexperienced) performed repositioning imaging experiments.
