Contemporary surgical outcomes of venous tumour thrombectomy managed with intraoperative Doppler ultrasound for kidney cancer.

Introduction: Radical nephrectomy (RN) with venous tumour thrombectomy (VTT) carries a significant morbidity and mortality risk. Examination of a contemporary single-institution series permits the development of a management algorithm and an audit its results. We report outcomes following the use of intraoperative colour Doppler ultrasound and our surgical pathway.

Outcomes of reintervention for recurrent symptomatic disease after tibial endovascular intervention.

Objective: Tibial interventions for critical limb ischemia are now commonplace. Restenosis and occlusion remain barriers to durability after intervention. The aim of this study was to examine the patient-centered outcomes of open and endovascular reintervention for symptomatic recurrent disease after a primary isolated tibial endovascular intervention.

Outcomes of tibial endovascular intervention in patients with poor pedal runoff.

Objective: Tibial interventions for critical limb ischemia are now commonplace. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of pedal runoff on patient-centered outcomes after tibial endovascular intervention.

Methods: A database of patients undergoing lower extremity endovascular interventions at a single urban academic medical center between 2006 and 2016 was retrospectively queried.

An evaluation of the availability, accessibility, and quality of online content of vascular surgery training program websites for residency and fellowship applicants.

Background: Vascular surgery residency and fellowship applicants commonly seek information about programs from the Internet. Lack of an effective web presence curtails the ability of programs to attract applicants, and in turn applicants may be unable to ascertain which programs are the best fit for their career aspirations. This study was designed to evaluate the presence, accessibility, comprehensiveness, and quality of vascular surgery training websites (VSTW).

Rare Presentation of a Syphilitic Aneurysm of the Infrarenal Aorta with Contained Rupture.

We report, to our knowledge, the first case of a rare syphilitic infrarenal aortouniiliac aneurysm with contained rupture that presented with midepigastric abdominal pain. Review of the patient's medical history revealed untreated syphilis and poorly treated congestive heart failure. Given his comorbidities, the patient was treated with an emergent endovascular aneurysm repair.

Outcomes of Isolated Tibial Endovascular Intervention for Rest Pain in Patients on Dialysis.

Background: Tibial interventions for critical limb ischemia are frequent in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) presenting with critical ischemia. The aim of this study was to examine impact of ESRD on the patient-centered outcomes following tibial endovascular Intervention for rest pain.

Methods: A database of patients undergoing lower extremity endovascular interventions between 2006 and 2016 was retrospectively queried.

Treatment options and outcomes for caval thrombectomy and resection for renal cell carcinoma.

Objective: Advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has a significant predisposition to vascular invasion. Tumor vascular invasion and thrombus are found in the renal vein and the inferior vena cava (IVC) in up to 10% to 25% of patients. This study reviewed the current status of radical nephrectomy with IVC thrombectomy for advanced RCC.
