Two groups of patients were identified: group 1 higher than 150 cycles with 60 patients and group 2 lesser than 150 cycles with 32 patients.RESULTS: The overall mortality rate (OMR) was 15.1% (13 patients) in total cohort within the first 30 days. Group 1 had a higher OMR than group 2 (16.1% versus 9.3%, P=0.007). There were 4 cases of hematuria (4.3%), all of them in group 1. We have performed a Kaplan Meier regarding limb salvage rates: Group 1 had 85% and Group 2 had 95.7% at 1057 days. P=0.081. Among the factors evaluated, the following were related to overall mortality rate: PMT with higher >150 cycles/s (HR=7.17, P=0.007, CI: 1.38-8.89), COVID-19 infection (HR=2.75, P=0.010, CI: 1.73-5.97) and postoperative acute kidney failure (HR=2.97, P<0.001, CI: 1.32-8.13). Among the factors evaluated, the following was related to limb loss: postoperative acute kidney failure (HR=4.41, P=0.036, CI: 1.771-7.132).CONCLUSIONS: Pharmacomechanical thrombectomy with AngioJet is a safe and effective therapy in patients with ALI. However, PMT higher than 150 cycles/s may be related to a higher overall mortality rate. Moreover, the main cause related to limb loss was postoperative acute kidney failure. The main factors related to overall mortality rate were PMT with higher >150 cycles/s. postoperative acute kidney failure and COVID-19 infection.","PeriodicalId":54914,"journal":{"name":"Italian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135965603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The statistical analysis used the Pearson and Spearman correlation tests, which were deemed meaningful if P<0.05.RESULTS: The study participants were 42 diabetic foot ulcer patients aged 31 to 79 years.

Ischemic stroke mortality may reach 33% with a 20% recurrence rate in the first year. Thus, identifying patients with asymptomatic extracranial carotid disease (AECD) before cerebral ischemia is of great importance to public health concerns. The paper presents a systematic review and meta-analysis of AECD occurrence in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) patients.EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: A systematic review following designated protocols from “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analysis” (PRISMA), encompassing research in the PubMed, Medline, Cochrane and Embase data banks. A rigorous evaluation process was concluded with the outcome being the presence of AECD on more than 50% of PAD patients. Nine studies with a total of 114,514 patients were included: 3 prospective studies, 4 retrospective studies, 2 transversal studies were selected for meta-analysis. The stenosis proportion higher than 50% AECD was of 22% with a 95% confidence interval between 16% and 29%; however, its heterogeneity was of I2=98%. Symmetry was identified on funnel plot studies.EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: The systematic review spanning the last 13 years and the meta-analysis have shown a prevalence of 22% AECD>50% in patients with PAD, leading to reasonable concern over AECD in PAD patients.CONCLUSIONS: However, the heterogeneity within the studies was elevated, probably due to differences in carotid stenosis ultrasound diagnosis procedures among one another.","PeriodicalId":54914,"journal":{"name":"Italian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery","volume":"166 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135965584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The retrospective analysis was combined with confirmational prospective telephone survey of each patient for improvement of collected descriptive data quality.RESULTS: A total of 58 tumors were removed per 55 excisions. According to Shamblin’s classification, 34.5% of removed CBTs referred to grade I, 60% were grade II and only 5.5% belonged to grade III. The median tumor volume was 14.8 cm3 (interquartile range [IQR] 8.1-24.5 cm3). The mean distance from tumor apex to the base of skull (DTBOS) was 4.1±1.4 cm. The median estimated blood loss (EBL) was 200 mL (IQR 50-400 mL). The overall 30-day cranial nerve (CN) dysfunction rate after surgery was 60%. The overall 30-day mortality and 30-day stroke rate were 0% and 1.8%, respectively. The regression analysis revealed statistically significant (P<0.001) association between tumor volume and EBL with explicit positive linear trend (y = 76.95 + 9.22 x) and acceptable predictive strength (R2=0.368). Obvious negative correlation (P<0.001, R2=0.225) was discovered between tumor distance to base of skull (DTBOS) and overall amount of damaged CNs.CONCLUSIONS: Approximately 37% of differences in EBL can be explained by the differences in tumor volume.
