The importance of surgeon volume and training in outcomes for vascular surgical procedures [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1999
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

An intensive vascular surgical skills and simulation course for vascular trainees improves procedural knowledge and self-rated procedural competence [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2017
Surgical skills and simulation courses are emerging to meet the demand for vascular simulation training for vascular surgical skills, but their educational effect has not yet been described. We sought to determine the effect of an intensive vascular surgical skills and simulation course on the procedural knowledge and self-rated procedural competence ...

Minimal-invasive, video-assisted vein harvesting for cardiac and vascular surgical procedures [PDF]

European Journal of Cardio-thoracic Surgery, 1997
Harvesting of the saphenous vein is a routine procedure in coronary and peripheral vascular surgery. It is usually performed using a continuous long skin incision. Minor complications are reported in up to 24% (hematoma, wound dehiscence, infection, pain) and major problems necessitating surgical interventions (bleeding, abscess) in less than 1%. These

Availability of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells in Patients Undergoing Vascular Surgical Procedures [PDF]

Journal of Surgical Research, 2010
Most research evaluating adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) uses tissue obtained from young, healthy patients undergoing plastic surgical procedures. Given the propensity of other adult stem cell lines to diminish with increasing patient age and co-morbidities, we assess the availability of ASC in elderly patients undergoing vascular surgical procedures,
