Review of the Management of Isolated Superficial Femoral Artery Aneurysms Open
Truly isolated aneurysms of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) are uncommon. The treatment options come from small case series and case reports. In the absence of definitive management guidelines, a revision of the available literature w…

Does Mode of Surgical Intervention Based on Oncotype DX Score Influence Disease Recurrence in Early Breast Cancer? Open
Introduction Routine utilization of multigene assays to inform operative decision-making in early breast cancer (EBC) treatment is yet to be established. In this pilot study, we sought to establish the potential benefits of surgical interv…

Arterio-Venous Fistula (Avf) in Dialysis Patients: understanding the Pathophysiology behind Arteriovenous Fistulae Non-Maturation Open
A well-functioning Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) has been shown to be the best modality for vascular access in patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) that require haemodialysis (HD).A mature AVF has lower incidence of thrombosis and st…

Supervised exercise therapy in the management of peripheral arterial disease – an assessment of compliance Open
Background: Supervised exercise therapy (SET) is an effective option in the management of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Unfortunately, poor compliance remains prevalent. This study aimed to assess patient exercise compliance and to id…

Optimising the maturation rate of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) Open
A well-functioning Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) has been shown to be the best modality for access in patients with end-stage kidney disease going for dialysis. Maturation of AVF is complex and depends on various biomechanical forces induced…

The Role of Shear Stress in Arteriovenous Fistula Maturation and Failure: A Systematic Review Open
Standardised measurements and data processing techniques are needed to comprehensively evaluate the relationship between shear stress and intimal medial thickening. Advances in image acquisition and flow quantifications coupled with the in…

Predictive Parameters of Arteriovenous Fistula Functional Maturation in a Population of Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease Open
Female gender was found to be associated with functional non-maturation, while a history kidney transplant, calcium channel-blocker agents and low haemoglobin levels were all associated with successful functional maturation. In view of the…

One-Stage vs. Two-Stage Brachio-Basilic Arteriovenous Fistula for Dialysis Access: A Systematic Review and a Meta-Analysis Open
Although more studies seem to favour the two-stage BVT approach, evidence in the literature is not sufficient to draw a final conclusion as the difference between the one-stage and the two-stage approaches for creation of a BB-AVF is not s…
