[Assessment of the severity of oxidative stress and inflamaging in elderly patients with copd who have suffered an ischemic stroke.].

The study assessed the severity of inflamaging, lipid peroxidation, as well as the state of antioxidant protection in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), depending on the ischemic stroke (IS). A prospective cohort study included 138 elderly patients (mean age 68±4 years). Of these, the 1st (control) group consisted of 30 people who did not have established COPD and cardiovascular diseases comparable in gender and age to the patients of the main group.

Evaluation of properties for Carbothane™ 3575A-based electrospun vascular graftsand.

Bioengineered vascular grafts (VGs) have emerged as a promising alternative to the treatment of damaged or occlusive vessels. It is thought that polyurethane (PU)-based scaffolds possess suitable hemocompatibility and biomechanics comparable to those of normal blood vessels. In this study, we investigated the properties of electrospun scaffolds comprising various blends of biostable polycarbonate-based PU (Carbothane™ 3575A) and gelatin.

Femoro-popliteal bypass versus remote endarterectomy: a propensity matched analysis.

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare femoropopliteal bypass (FPB) and remote endarterectomy (RE) for long femoropopliteal lesions.

Methods: Single center retrospective propensity matching analysis of the symptomatic patients with long occlusion of the femoro-popliteal segment (>250 mm), who underwent femoro-popliteal bypass above the knee or remote endarterectomy from 2014 to 2020. Primary endpoints: primary patency (PP), secondary patency (SP), target lesion revascularization (TLR).

Impact of shaggy aorta on intraoperative cerebral embolism during carotid artery stenting.

Background: Careful selection of patients for carotid stenting is necessary. We suggest that patients with a shaggy aorta syndrome may be at higher risk for perioperative embolic complications.

Methods: The study is a retrospective subanalysis of the SIBERIA Trial.

The phenomenon of drug-coating embolism during lower extremity endovascular interventions with paclitaxel-coated balloon.

Introduction: There is a risk of distal embolization lower extremity endovascular interventions. Possibly a drug-coating embolism caused by coating detachment from intravascular devices.

Methods: This review focuses on providing updated information on distal embolism in endovascular revascularization of lower extremity arteries, including the use of drug-coated balloons.
