Infectious complications after elective vascular surgical procedures [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2009 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

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

Outpatient echocardiography as a predictor of perioperative cardiac morbidity after peripheral vascular surgical procedures [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1995 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.

Management of asymptomatic carotid stenosis in patients undergoing general and vascular surgical procedures [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2005 Current available data do not seem to support the strategy for carotid endarterectomy prior to surgical intervention in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis. However, in patients with coronary artery disease, synchronous carotid endarterectomy and coronary artery bypass grafting should be considered where there is a proven surgical risk of 60 ...

The effect of Surgical Care Improvement Project measures on national trends on surgical site infections in open vascular procedures [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2014 The Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) is a national initiative to reduce surgical complications, including postoperative surgical site infection (SSI), through protocol-driven antibiotic usage. This study aimed to determine the effect SCIP guidelines have had on in-hospital SSIs after open vascular procedures.The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS)

Unplanned postoperative reintubation following general and vascular surgical procedures: Outcomes and risk factors. [PDF]
Ann Med Surg (Lond), 2018 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.

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,
