Feasibility and Safety of Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) in a District General Hospital: A Retrospective Study of 10-Year Outcomes.

Background: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) represents a pivotal advancement in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

Objective: The primary objective of this study is to present a comprehensive overview of the EVAR service in a district-level vascular centre and to compare it with the national outcome to outline a service model for other district general hospitals.

Method: Patients who underwent an EVAR procedure from 2015 over seven years were included.

Effectiveness of a Glyceryl Trinitrate (GTN) Patch in Preventing Amputation, Improving Pain Control and Reducing the Size of Tissue Loss for a Patient With Critical Limb-Threatening Ischaemia (CLTI).

Background  Foot ulcer is a common complication of poorly controlled diabetes and peripheral vascular disease (PVD). The current standard of treatment for diabetic foot ulcers includes the management of underlying risk factors, wound debridement, use of antibiotics for infection, off-loading with cast, and revascularisation surgery. The glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) patch is currently off-licence in treating PVD or diabetic foot ulcers.

Graft Failure After Revascularization for Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischaemia (CLTI) Patients: The Role of Graft Surveillance.

Introduction Failure of infrainguinal bypass grafts remains a major problem tackled by vascular surgeons despite a meticulous surgical technique. All infrainguinal bypasses should go under routine surveillance to pick the grafts at risk for the prevention of graft failure. Objectives The aim was to find out if we were adhering to the European Society of Vascular Surgery (ESVS) guidelines in the management of chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) patients, including postoperative follow-up and to monitor whether the patients were having postoperative duplex surveillance scans to pick any graft at risk.
