Long‐term outcomes after paclitaxel‐coated balloon angioplasty of femoropopliteal arteries in Asian patients of the IN.PACT Global Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 100, Issue 7, Page 1273-1283, December 1, 2022., 2022
Abstract Objectives The long‐term data on the use of drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) for femoropopliteal atherosclerotic lesions in the real‐world setting are limited, even more so for racially and geographically distinct populations. The present analysis reports the 5‐year safety and effectiveness outcomes of a DCB in the Asian subset of the prospective ...

Efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban versus placebo after lower extremity bypass surgery: A post hoc analysis of a “CASPAR like” outcome from VOYAGER PAD

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 45, Issue 12, Page 1143-1146, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background The Clopidogrel and Acetylsalicylic Acid in Bypass Surgery for Peripheral Arterial Disease (CASPAR) trial is the only large, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) versus aspirin in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) after lower extremity revascularization (LER).

Surgical prevention of terminal neuroma and phantom limb pain: a literature review

Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2021
The incidence of extremity amputation is estimated at about 200,000 cases annually. Over 25% of patients suffer from terminal neuroma or phantom limb pain (TNPLP), resulting in pain, inability to wear a prosthetic device, and lost work.

External leg amputation in conformal invariant three-point function [PDF]

Eur.Phys.J.C71:1621,2011, 2009
Amputation of external legs is carried out explicitly for the conformal invariant three-point function involving two spinors and one vector field. Our results are consistent with the general result that amputing an external leg in a conformal invariant Green function replaces a field by its conformal partner in the Green function.

Characterization of short- and long-term mechanical sensitisation following surgical tail amputation in pigs

Scientific Reports, 2017
Commercial pigs are frequently exposed to tail mutilations in the form of preventive husbandry procedures (tail docking) or as a result of abnormal behaviour (tail biting).

Surgical revascularization versus amputation for peripheral vascular disease in dialysis patients: a cohort study

BMC Nephrology, 2005
Background Surgical treatment of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) in dialysis patients is controversial. Methods We examined the post-operative morbidity and mortality of surgical revascularization or amputation for PVD in a retrospective analysis of ...

Clean Cut (adaptive, multimodal surgical infection prevention programme) for low‐resource settings: a prospective quality improvement study

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
Clean Cut is a multimodal, adaptive, checklist‐based infection prevention programme designed to improve compliance with six critical perioperative infection prevention practices. After introducing the programme at five hospitals in Ethiopia, compliance with critical infection prevention standards significantly improved and the relative risk of ...

Risk of major amputation or death among patients with critical limb ischemia initially treated with endovascular intervention, surgical bypass, minor amputation, or conservative management

Journal of Medical Economics, 2017
Aims: Patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) have an increased risk of major amputation. The initial treatment approach for CLI may significantly impact the subsequent risk of major amputation or death. The objective of this study was to describe the

Effect of mirror therapy in the treatment of phantom limb pain in amputees: A systematic review of randomized placebo‐controlled trials does not find any evidence of efficacy

European Journal of Pain, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 3-13, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background and Objective Phantom limb pain (PLP) concerns >50% of amputees and has a negative impact on their rehabilitation, mental health and quality of life. Mirror therapy (MT) is a promising strategy, but its effectiveness remains controversial.
