Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the treatment and outcomes of popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs) in women, who make up only 5% of PAA patients, highlighting the lack of extensive evidence in this area.
- Data was collected from the POPART Registry, a large European registry involving 42 centers, examining clinical presentation and surgical outcomes since 2010.
- Findings revealed that female patients had smaller aneurysms and higher rates of symptoms before surgery, along with increased complications like impaired wound healing and the need for additional procedures post-surgery compared to men.
A type 1 immune response is involved in atherosclerosis progression, whereas the role of a type 2 polarization, especially with regard to an enhanced T helper (T)2 cell differentiation, is still unclear. Helminths trigger type 2 immune responses, protecting the host from inflammatory disorders. We investigated whether an increased type 2 polarization by administration of adult worm extract (LsAg) affects atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE) mice.

Aim of this study was to determine the rate of complications following femoral placement of totally implantable venous access ports (f-TIVAP) in women with bilateral breast cancer, with a special focus on long-term function, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and port infection. 73 patients with bilateral breast cancer treated between October 2000 and January 2013 with placement of an f-TIVAP using a transfemoral approach were retrospectively reviewed. All patients were followed up, and all complications of f-TIVAP were recorded.

Methods: Between January 2011 and December 2014, 208 deceased donor renal transplantations (68 female, 140 male, mean age 52, SD 16 years) were performed. Medical charts and outpatient clinical records of patients who had undergone renal artery implantation on a PVG were reviewed.
