The BG Study Part 1 (Bergisch Gladbach): Development of a Prototype Coronary Artery Disease Risk Score Incorporating Peripheral Vascular Parameters-Preliminary Insights for Future CAD Risk Prediction Models in Vascular Patients.

Peripheral vascular parameters may provide valuable insights into coronary artery disease (CAD) risk stratification. This study aimed to develop a CAD risk score by integrating carotid duplex velocities, ankle-brachial index (ABI), and clinical history into a point-based model. We analyzed data from 902 cardiology patients, of whom 592 (65.

Use of dehydrated human amnion chorion membrane allograft on infected ruptured arteriovenous fistula: revision and closure.

Over two million individuals worldwide, with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), depend on dialysis therapy or a kidney transplant for survival. Every haemodialysis patient requires vascular access. The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is preferred for long-term hemodialysis vascular access due to long-term primary patency rates.
