Thrombolysis and infraclavicular first rib resection for primary subclavian venous thrombosis – results from a population-based strategy Open
Introduction Primary subclavian venous thrombosis (PSVT), affects young patients with an active lifestyle or strenuous occupations. Treated with anticoagulation alone, up to 45% develop post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Early treatment with …

A vein bypass first <i>versus</i> a best endovascular treatment first revascularization strategy for patients with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia who require an infra-popliteal, with or without an additional more proximal infra-inguinal, revascularization procedure to restore limb perfusion: the BASIL-2 within-trial health economic analysis Open
Background Chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) places a considerable socioeconomic burden health and social care systems worldwide. The objective of this health economic analysis was to investigate the cost-effectiveness (CEA) and co…

Primary Subclavian Venous Thrombosis - Multidisciplinary Collaboration Improves Early Identification and Frequency of Surgical Intervention Open
Primary subclavian venous thrombosis (PSVT) is a rare but potentially disabling condition caused by chronic compression of the subclavian vein at the thoracic outlet, typically affecting young individuals. Delayed diagnosis often leads to …

Semi-Conservative Treatment Versus Radical Surgery in Abdominal Aortic Graft and Endograft Infections Open
In this national AGI cohort, there was no mortality difference comparing SC and RS for AGI when adjusting for comorbidities. Presence of GEF probably negatively impacts survival outcomes of SC patients. Rates of recurrent infection remain …

Long Term Mortality Rate in Patients Treated with Carotid Endarterectomy Open
Symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid patients have similar long term mortality rates after CEA, but men had worse outcome than women. Sex, age, and time after surgery were shown to influence SMR. These results highlight the need for target…

Effects of a person-centred, nurse-led follow-up programme on adherence to prescribed medication among patients surgically treated for intermittent claudication: randomized clinical trial Open
Background Management of intermittent claudication should include secondary prevention to reduce the risk of cardiocerebrovascular disease. Patient adherence to secondary prevention is a challenge. The aim of this study was to investigate …

Large symptomatic carotid web in young African-Swedish man Open
Debate is ongoing regarding whether carotid web (CW)—a type of fibromuscular dysplasia of the intima—can cause brain embolization and, thereby, ischemic stroke. Sole medical treatment of the condition has been associated with high recurren…

Risk Factors for Abdominal Compartment Syndrome After Endovascular Repair for Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: A Case Control Study Open
ACS after rEVAR is mainly associated with physiological factors and is unlikely to develop without the presence of a pre-operative BP < 70 mmHg, the need for an aortic occlusion balloon, or more than five intra-operative pRBC unit transfus…

The Proportion Cured of Patients with Resected Stage II–III Cutaneous Melanoma in Sweden Open
Background: Cure proportion represents the proportion of patients who experience the same mortality rate as the general population and can be estimated together with the survival of the proportion experiencing excess mortality (the uncured…

PCSK6 Is a Key Protease in the Control of Smooth Muscle Cell Function in Vascular Remodeling Open
Rationale: PCSKs (Proprotein convertase subtilisins/kexins) are a protease family with unknown functions in vasculature. Previously, we demonstrated PCSK6 upregulation in human atherosclerotic plaques associated with smooth muscle cells (S…

Malondialdehyde Conjugated With Albumin Induces Pro-Inflammatory Activation of T Cells Isolated From Human Atherosclerotic Plaques Both Directly and Via Dendritic Cell–Mediated Mechanism Open
Human dendritic cells were differentiated from blood monocytes and treated with malondialdehyde (MDA) conjugated with human serum albumin (HSA). Autologous T cells from human plaques or blood were co-cultured with the pre-treated dendritic…

Induction of Dendritic Cell–Mediated Activation of T Cells From Atherosclerotic Plaques by Human Heat Shock Protein 60 Open
Background Atherosclerosis is characterized by the presence of activated immune‐competent cells including dendritic cells ( DC s) and T cells, dead cells, and oxidized low‐density lipoprotein. HSP60 (Heat shock protein 60) has been implica…

Primary tumor sites in relation to ultraviolet radiation exposure and skin visibility correlate with survival in cutaneous melanoma Open
The prognostic value of detailed anatomic site and ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure patterns has not been fully determined in cutaneous melanoma. Thus, we reviewed medical records for detailed site in a population‐based retrospective S…

Long-Term Outcome After Carotid Artery Stenting Open
Background and Purpose— Long-term outcome after carotid artery stenting (CAS), a less invasive technique than carotid endarterectomy (CEA), for prevention of stroke, is unclear. The aim was to assess long-term outcomes after CAS, compared …
