Background: Reports of large series of hybrid iliofemoral revascularization for chronic lower limb ischemia are scarce. The aims of this study were to evaluate outcomes for staged and nonstaged procedures, and to evaluate risk factors for outcomes at 90 days.
Methods: Patients were consecutively included between 2013 and 2023.
Background: Skill and experience of surgeons are likely to influence the incidence of surgical wound complications (SWC) after open lower limb revascularization. Differences in SWC between surgeons with predominantly endovascular or open vascular surgical profiles could be expected. The aim of this study was to compare SWC rates after elective open vascular surgery between primarily endovascular and primarily open vascular surgeons.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of motivational interviewing (MI) conducted by social insurance caseworkers to help individuals with musculoskeletal disorders return to work.
- Caseworkers underwent six days of MI training and recorded their sessions, which were later analyzed for quality and adherence to the MI approach.
- Results indicated that despite comprehensive training, most caseworkers did not achieve the desired level of MI competence, emphasizing the need for more extensive resources and time for effective implementation in social insurance settings.
