Do thrombotic events during endovascular interventions lead to poorer outcomes in patients with severe limb ischemia?

Introduction: Intra-procedural acute thrombosis (IPAT) is a complication of endovascular procedures. We aim to identify risk factors for IPAT and compare the outcomes of patients with or without IPAT.

Methods: Paired T test and χ (2) test were used to identify risk factors and short-term outcomes.

Limb salvage in patients with peripheral arterial disease managed by endovascular first approach.

This study aims to review the outcome of patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) managed with endovascular first approach for revascularization in a tertiary referral center. Revascularization procedures were performed in 202 patients with 229 symptomatic limbs. Angiogram was performed in all patients except those contraindicated for contrast agent.

Outcomes of endovascular intervention for salvage of failing hemodialysis access.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of endovascular balloon angioplasty to preserve the patency of failing hemodialysis arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) and prosthetic arteriovenous grafts (AVG).

Methods: Patients on hemodialysis who received endovascular intervention for access problems were retrospectively analyzed. Fistulography was performed on patients who were suspected to have access stenosis and balloon angioplasty performed in the same setting if a stenosis of ≥50% is detected.
