Vascular Occlusions following Ocular Surgical Procedures: A Clinical Observation of Vascular Complications after Ocular Surgery [PDF]
Background. Ocular vascular occlusions following intraocular procedures are a rare complication. We report a case series of patients with retinal vascular occlusions or anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) after anterior and posterior segment ...

Unplanned postoperative reintubation following general and vascular surgical procedures: Outcomes and risk factors. [PDF]
Unplanned postoperative reintubation (UPR) is a marker for severe adverse outcomes following general and vascular surgery.A retrospective analysis of 8809 adult patients, aged 18 years and older, who underwent major general and vascular surgery at a large single-center urban hospital was conducted from January 2013 to September 2016.

Infectious complications after elective vascular surgical procedures [PDF]
This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the rates of postoperative infectious complications and death after elective vascular surgery, define vascular procedures with the greatest risk of developing nosocomial infections, and assess the effect of infection on health care resource utilization.The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (2002-2006) was used

Predicting Post-operative Delirium after Vascular Surgical Procedures. [PDF]
The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of and specific preoperative and intraoperative risk factors for postoperative delirium (POD) in electively treated vascular surgery patients.Between March 2010 and November 2013, all vascular surgery patients were included in a prospective database.

Sequential Surgical Procedures in Vascular Surgery Patients Are Associated With Perioperative Adverse Cardiac Events [PDF]
Patients at elevated cardiovascular risk are prone to perioperative cardiovascular complications, like myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS). We have demonstrated in a mouse model of atherosclerosis that perioperative stress leads to an increase in plaque volume and higher plaque vulnerability.

Ancrod versus heparin for anticoagulation during vascular surgical procedures [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to compare the conduct and early results of infrainguinal vascular reconstructions with use of ancrod or heparin for anticoagulation.To test the hypothesis that ancrod was an effective alternative to heparin, 28 patients requiring infrainguinal bypass surgery were randomized to receive heparin during operation or ancrod ...

First Application of an Absorbable Skin Stapler in Peripheral Vascular Surgical Procedures [PDF]
Abstract Objective: Appropriate skin closure is essential and several techniques are available such as dermal sutures and metal staples. Absorbable staples have promising qualities. Our aim was to lower the surgical site infection (SSI) rate with the use of subcuticular absorbable skin (Insorb™) staples.

The importance of surgeon volume and training in outcomes for vascular surgical procedures [PDF]
Mortality and morbidity rates after vascular surgical procedures have been related to hospital volume. Hospitals in which greater volumes of vascular surgical procedures are performed tend to have statistically lower mortality rates than those hospitals in which fewer procedures are performed. Only a few studies have directly assessed the impact of the

Outpatient echocardiography as a predictor of perioperative cardiac morbidity after peripheral vascular surgical procedures [PDF]
A variety of preoperative provocative tests have been used to define the risk of cardiac morbidity and mortality after peripheral vascular procedures, including dipyridamole myocardial scintigraphy and dobutamine stress echocardiography. Although highly sensitive, these tests are time-consuming and associated with significant expense.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ACCURATE IMAGING DIAGNOSIS OF A VASCULAR ANOMALY PRIOR TO THE SURGICAL PROCEDURE [PDF]
The diagnosis of vascular tumors and malformations is usually achieved with clinical history and physical examination. The imaging of these patients has been sufficiently refined to answer pertinent questions when trying to make an accurate differential diagnosis in order to establish an informed treatment plan.
