This study aimed to determine if calf pump function (CPF) is independently associated with the severity of chronic venous disease classified by CEAP (Clinical-Etiology-Anatomy-Pathophysiology).Methods: The Mayo Clinic Vascular Laboratory database was analyzed from January 2015 through September 2023. Ambulatory adults who underwent venous air plethysmography were included. Venous plethysmography assessed the severity of venous incompetence, and CPF was measured as ejection fraction (EF) per leg. The clinical component (C0 through C6) of the CEAP score was evaluated for each extremity at the time of the study.Results: A total of 7760 limbs from 3733 patients were analyzed. The mean age was 62 years, with 62% women. Venous obstruction was detected in 3.2% of limbs. Venous incompetence severity was categorized as normal (44%), mild (26%), moderate (19%), and severe (10%). A significant trend of reduced CPF was observed with higher CEAP scores (p < 0.001). Multivariable logistic regression, adjusted for age, sex, degree of venous incompetence, and obstruction showed reduced CPF was a significant predictor (odds ratio 1.84, CI: 1.5-2.2) of active/prior ulcer (C5 or C6). In contrast to more severely reduced CPF, mildly reduced CPF (EF 40-49%) was not associated with active/prior ulcers.Conclusion: This large contemporary study demonstrates that decreased CPF is associated with worse chronic venous disease. Importantly, we demonstrate for the first time that CPF is independently associated with active/prior venous ulcers after accounting for other venous physiologic parameters and demographics.","PeriodicalId":23604,"journal":{"name":"Vascular Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1358863X241311254"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143383324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Propensity score-matched analysis was performed to compare the clinical impacts of DFA coverage for ostial FP lesions with stent deployment. The prognostic value was analyzed based on DFA status during EVT, primary patency of the FP artery, clinically driven-target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) of the FP artery, and incidence of DFA occlusion/major amputation/acute limb ischemia (ALI) at 3 years.Results: A total of 132 matched pairs of patients was analyzed using propensity score matching.

Serious complications of type II endoleaks following EVAR can cause sac expansion and increase rupture risk. This study focused on evaluating clinical and blood characteristics in patients with type II endoleaks to refine our understanding of systemic fluctuations associated with unsuccessful EVAR.Methods: This retrospective study included 146 patients with AAA who underwent primary elective endovascular procedures (EVAR/fEVAR) between 2013 and 2021. Clinical characteristics, complete blood count (CBC) and imaging data were analyzed from patients who did and did not develop type II endoleaks.Results: Mean platelet volume (MPV) was significantly increased in patients who developed type II endoleaks after EVAR. Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that MPV has a satisfactory discriminatory performance in distinguishing post-EVAR patients who developed type II endoleaks, yielding an area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.64. A risk stratification panel incorporating MPV, type II diabetes history, and administration of dual antiplatelet therapies yielded an AUC of 0.70 and predicted an endoleak-free survival rate with a hazard ratio of 2.94. A nomogram revealed that MPV had the highest scoring weight among all significant variables.Conclusion: Patients with type II endoleaks following EVAR have elevated MPV indicative of different phenotypes of circulating platelets. MPV presents an attractive predictive criteria for assessing the occurrence of type II endoleaks in patients with AAA.","PeriodicalId":23604,"journal":{"name":"Vascular Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"38-47"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142772776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used peripheral artery tonometry to measure the reactive hyperemia index (RHI) and examine the acute effects of HIIE and MICE on microvascular function.Methods: Ten healthy participants (50% men, age: 26 ± 5 years, mass: 75.6 ± 15.1 kg, height: 170 ± 10 cm, body mass index: 26.0 ± 3.1 kg∙m-2) performed single bouts of HIIE and MICE cycling on separate occasions. The MICE protocol was 20 min at 60% of maximum power output. The HIIE protocol was a 12-min warm up at 50% of maximum power output immediately followed by an 8-min Tabata protocol where participants alternated between cycling at ⩾ 100% max power (20 sec) and rest (10 sec). The RHI was measured before, immediately after, and 1 h after exercise and compared by two-way repeated measures analysis of variance (condition [MICE, HIIE] and time [pre-, post-, and 1-h postexercise]).Results: Compared to baseline, RHI increased 1 h after MICE only (p = 0.02). Heart rate was higher during MICE at 5 and 10 min (p = 0.02) and higher during HIIE at min 20 (p < 0.01).Conclusion: Within a sample of healthy adults, the RHI was improved 1 h after a single session of MICE but not HIIE. Future research is needed to determine the significance of the differential effects of exercise regimens on the macro- and microvasculature.","PeriodicalId":23604,"journal":{"name":"Vascular Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"3-9"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142475944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Follow-up assessments were performed at 1 and 3 months. Primary outcomes comprised visual analog scale scores (1-10) for lower-limb symptoms and comfort level of GECS. Secondary outcomes included GECS usage duration, calf volume, and interface pressure at B and C points (B: minimal ankle circumference point; C: maximum calf circumference point).Results: Both groups exhibited significant improvements in pain, heaviness, and swelling symptoms at the 1- and 3-month follow up. At the 3-month follow up, the c-GECS group showed significantly superior improvement in symptoms. Comfort assessment revealed that c-GECS (16.2 ± 2.9) provided significantly greater comfort than s-GECS (13.6 ± 3.2) (p < 0.001). However, the two groups showed no significant difference in GECS wear duration. At 3 months, the c-GECS group showed superior maintenance of stocking tension at point B (p = 0.018). Both types of GECS significantly reduced calf volume at both time points, with no notable difference between the groups.Conclusion: c-GECS effectively alleviated pain, heaviness, and swelling symptoms in patients with OE. Although c-GECS did not exhibit a clear advantage in reducing calf volume as compared to s-GECS, it provided more stable and enduring pressure, enhanced the overall fit of GECS, and improved comfort during wear.
