Axial Ablation versus Terminal Interruption of the Reflux Source (AAVTIRS): A Randomised Controlled Trial Open
Introduction Treatment of reflux has been shown to improve time to healing of Venous Leg Ulcers (VLU). Terminal Interruption of the Reflux Source (TIRS) treats reflux within the plexus of veins around an active VLU using foam sclerotherapy…

AB032. SOH22ABS002. A systematic review and meta-analysis of neuraxial versus general anaesthesia for infra-inguinal revascularization of critical limb ischaemia Open
Background: Lower limb revascularisation is associated with high rates of perioperative morbidity and mortality. Procedures can be conducted under neuraxial anaesthesia (NA) or general anaesthesia (GA). We conducted a meta-analysis to inve…

Diagnostic Performance of Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index in Lower Extremity Arterial Disease Open
Introduction Ankle-brachial pressure indices (ABIs) continue to form the basis of diagnostics for lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD). However, there remains a paucity of data to support its accuracy. This study aims to evaluate its di…

Optimising endovenous strategies in the management of symptomatic venous incompetence Open
Venous incompetence represents a significant burden of disease globally. In recent decades the emergence of endovenous ablative techniques have led to a paradigm shift in the management of venous incompetence. These modalities potentially …

DEep VEin Lesion OPtimisation (DEVELOP) trial: protocol for a randomised, assessor-blinded feasibility trial of iliac vein intervention for venous leg ulcers Open
Background Venous leg ulceration is a widespread, debilitating pathology with high recurrence rates. Conservative treatment using graduated compression dressings may be associated with unacceptable ulcer recurrence rates. Early superficial…

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…
