Characteristics and Demographics of Patients Younger than 50 with Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Open
Background: Premature atherosclerosis (PreAS) is generally defined as a disease affecting those under the age of 50 and has an outsized impact on quality-adjusted life years. We sought to better understand what individuals are at the highe…

Linear and Area Coverage With Closed Incision Negative Pressure Therapy Management: International Multidisciplinary Consensus Recommendations Open
Closed incision negative pressure therapy (ciNPT) with foam dressings has received broad recognition for its ability to support incision healing for a variety of surgical procedures. Over time, these dressings have evolved to include linea…

Heterogeneity in the guidelines for the management of diabetic foot disease in the Caribbean Open
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus, diabetic foot (DF) disease and, as a result, lower extremity amputation rates remain high in the Caribbean. This study was undertaken to determine whether Caribbean countries have designated individuals…

The Role of Lower Extremity Amputation in Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia Open
Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a severe form of peripheral artery disease associated with high rates of limb loss. The primary goal of treatment in CLTI is limb salvage via revascularization. Multidisciplinary teams provide im…

Management of Asymptomatic Popliteal Artery Aneurysms Open
Popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs) are the most common peripheral artery aneurysms. They are frequently symptomatic and are associated with high rates of morbidity and limb loss. PAA can be treated by open or endovascular means, although th…

Radiotracer Imaging Allows for Noninvasive Detection and Quantification of Abnormalities in Angiosome Foot Perfusion in Diabetic Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia and Nonhealing Wounds Open
Background: Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) imaging allows for assessment of skeletal muscle microvascular perfusion but has not been quantitatively assessed in angiosomes, or 3-dimensional vascu…

Overutilization of Cross-Sectional Imaging in the Lower Extremity Trauma Setting Open
Objective In an era of managed care and cost savings, we are faced with the question of whether another test is necessary to confirm our clinical suspicion. We hypothesized that a few computed tomography angiographies (CTAs) are necessary …

Optimal Aerobic Exercise Regimens for Improving HDL Levels in Older, Healthy Males Open
High-density lipoprotein levels are predictive of future cardiovascular events even in healthy individuals. Exercise has been found to improve HDL levels, but most of these studies focus on younger males or on older subjects with pre-exist…

Operative Management of Hilar Renal Artery Aneurysm in a Pregnant Patient Open
Complications of renal artery aneurysms (RAAs) can be life threatening and include the spontaneous rupture which may lead to severe retroperitoneal hemorrhage, loss of the kidney, or death. As the incidence and diagnosis of RAAs is expecte…
