Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy After Revascularisation Surgery in Patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease: A Randomised Trial (PICO-Vasc Study).

Objective: This study assessed the potential benefits of using incisional negative pressure wound therapy (iNPWT) for patients undergoing revascularisation due to peripheral arterial disease.

Methods: A prospective randomised controlled trial was conducted to compare the inguinal application of iNPWT vs. standard surgical dressings.

A randomized controlled noninferiority trial comparing radiofrequency with stripping and conservative hemodynamic cure for venous insufficiency technique for insufficiency of the great saphenous vein.

Objective: The quality of available evidence regarding new minimally invasive techniques to abolish great saphenous vein reflux is moderate. The present study assessed whether radiofrequency ablation (RFA) was noninferior to high ligation and stripping (HLS) and conservative hemodynamic cure for venous insufficiency (CHIVA) for clinical and ultrasound recurrence at 2 years in patients with primary varicose veins (VVs) due to great saphenous vein (GSV) insufficiency.

Methods: We performed a randomized, single-center, open-label, controlled, noninferiority trial to compare RFA and 2 surgical techniques for the treatment of primary VVs due to GSV insufficiency.
