Comparison of high-pressure compression stockings and compression bandages for ulcer treatment in venous ulcer patients.

Objectives: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of compression bandages and compression stockings in the treatment of venous ulcers following venous ulcer surgery.

Method: A total of 170 patients who underwent venous ulcer surgery were included in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into two groups: the first group used compression bandages, and the second group used compression stockings.

Long-term comparison of rotational and directional atherectomy outcomes in patients with femoropopliteal lesions.

This study aims to elucidate the differences in vessel patency rates, procedural complications, and the need for repeat interventions between these two techniques, thereby providing insights into the optimal atherectomy strategy for managing peripheral arterial disease in the femoropopliteal segment. This retrospective study investigated the long-term effectiveness of two atherectomy techniques, rotational atherectomy (RA) and directional atherectomy (DA), in treating lower extremity peripheral artery disease (LE-PAD) affecting the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and popliteal arteries. A total of 134 patients with symptomatic LE-PAD and significant stenosis (70%-99%) were included and divided into two groups based on the atherectomy method used.

Comparison of Radiofrequency Ablation and Cyanoacrylate Closure for Large-Diameter Great Saphenous Vein Insufficiency.

Background: To compare radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and cyanoacrylate closure (CAC) for large-diameter great saphenous vein (GSV) insufficiency between diameters of 12 and 16 mm.

Methods: This study is a single-center retrospective study. Subjects who underwent endovenous treatment with RFA (Group A) or CAC (Group B) for GSV insufficiency between June 2015 and June 2021 who were followed up for at least 2 years were included in the study.

Triglyceride-glucose index for predicting in-stent restenosis in patients with iliac artery stenosis after percutaneous intervention with stents.

Objective: To evaluate the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) for predicting in-stent restenosis in patients with iliac artery stenosis after percutaneous intervention with stents.

Patients And Methods: Subjects with iliac artery stenosis, who underwent an iliac stent intervention and were followed up for at least 2 years were included in the study. Subjects were grouped according to TyG index (Group A, TyG index ≤8.

Effect of specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators in the regulation of vascular tone and inflammation in human saphenous vein.

Specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs), derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids are important mediators in the resolution of inflammation. Recent studies have focused on the effects of SPMs in cardiovascular health and diseases. However, little is known about the effect SPMs on human vascular tone.
