Article Synopsis
- - Vascular surgeons played a significant role in 225 intraoperative consultations to assist nonvascular surgical teams between January 2006 and January 2014, highlighting their importance in supporting various surgical specialties.
- - The majority of these consultations were requested by surgical oncology, orthopedics, and urology, with a focus on vascular reconstruction, hemorrhage control, and challenging dissections, predominantly in intra-abdominal procedures.
- - Patient demographics showed a prevalence of overweight males undergoing elective surgeries, with an average hospital stay of 14.7 days and a 6.2% 30-day mortality rate, showcasing the demands and outcomes related to these consultations.
Objectives: To compare patient outcomes of primary open operation for aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) with those of secondary open operations for failed endovascular therapy (ET) of AIOD.
Design: A retrospective cohort study was performed analyzing demographic characteristics, comorbidities, and outcomes.
Setting: Affiliated Veterans Affairs Hospital from January 1, 1998, through March 31, 2010.
Objective: Few studies have examined factors that influence an individual's decision to enter an academic medical career after residency training. We sought to evaluate whether sex, ethnicity, child care issues, and debt burden influenced residents' choice for a career in academic vascular surgery.
Methods: A 39-item Web survey, designed to elucidate which factors motivated residents to seek a career in academic vascular surgery, was sent to 295 vascular surgery residents currently enrolled in Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education-accredited training programs.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares patient outcomes of endovascular stenting in individuals with iliac artery stenoses/occlusions, focusing on those with both common iliac artery (CIA) and external iliac artery (EIA) involvement versus those with either artery treated alone.
- A total of 588 patients were analyzed over a 12-year period, with various outcomes such as survival rates and the need for further interventions documented.
- Results showed no significant differences in long-term survival or intervention needs between the groups, indicating similar outcomes regardless of whether patients received combined CIA and EIA stenting or treatment for a single artery.
