Anticoagulation in the context of post-intracerebral haemorrhage: A narrative review.

Background: Recommencement of oral anticoagulation (OAC) for patients post-intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) remains a challenging decision for clinicians. High-quality evidence to assist with this decision is lacking and current guidelines primarily focus on balancing thromboembolic and bleeding risk.

Objective: This study evaluated the literature and current guidelines for recommencement of OAC in patients who have experienced an incident ICH.

Infrapopliteal application of sirolimus-eluting versus bare metal stents for critical limb ischemia: analysis of long-term angiographic and clinical outcome.

Purpose: To present the 3-year angiographic and clinical results of a prospective registry investigating the performance of sirolimus-eluting stents (SESs) versus bare metal stents (BMSs) for critical limb ischemia (CLI) treatment.

Materials And Methods: A single-center double-arm prospective registry included patients with CLI who underwent infrapopliteal revascularization with angioplasty and "bailout" use of an SES or BMS. Clinical and angiographic follow-up was scheduled at regular time intervals.

Sirolimus-eluting versus bare stents after suboptimal infrapopliteal angioplasty for critical limb ischemia: enduring 1-year angiographic and clinical benefit.

Purpose: To report the 1-year angiographic and clinical outcome from a prospective single-center study investigating the infrapopliteal application of sirolimus-eluting versus bare metal stents in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) who underwent below-the-knee endovascular revascularization.

Methods: Stenting was performed as a bailout procedure for suboptimal angioplasty results (flow-limiting dissection, elastic recoil, or postangioplasty residual stenosis >30%). In the first 29 patients, infrapopliteal stenting was performed with bare metal stents (group B) and with sirolimus-eluting stents in the other 29 patients (group S).

Sirolimus-eluting versus bare stents for bailout after suboptimal infrapopliteal angioplasty for critical limb ischemia: 6-month angiographic results from a nonrandomized prospective single-center study.

Purpose: To report the 6-month angiographic results from a prospective single-center study investigating the efficacy and outcome of sirolimus-eluting stents used for bailout after infrapopliteal revascularization of patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI).

Methods: Twenty-nine patients (21 men; mean age 68.7 years) underwent infrapopliteal revascularization with bare metal stents (group B) implanted for bailout in 65 lesions (38 stenoses and 27 occlusions) in 40 infrapopliteal arteries.

Vascular injury complicating lumbar disc surgery. A systematic review.

Objectives: to review the literature concerning the early and late vascular complications of lumbar disc surgery.

Methods: using the MEDLINE database, we reviewed all reports of vascular complications associated with surgical excision of a prolapsed disc via a posterior approach reported in the English literature since 1965.

Results: we identified 98 cases of vascular complications for an incidence of 1-5 in 10000 disc operations.
