The therapeutic effect of rosuvastatin and propylthiouracil on ameliorating high-cholesterol diet-induced rabbit aortic atherosclerosis and stiffness.
(Elsevier, 2017-01-15)We tested the hypothesis that arteriosclerosis-augmented aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and -impaired vasorelaxation were attenuated by rosuvastatin (Rosu) and propylthiouracil (PTU) therapy. -
Factors influencing the choice of treatment modality for individual patients with varicose veins.
(Royal College of Surgeons, 2017-07-06)INTRODUCTION There is evidence of effectiveness for a range of different treatment modalities for varicose veins but limited information about factors that influence treatment choice for individual patients. METHODS A ... -
Levels of circulating microparticles in patients with chronic cardiorenal disease.
(J-Stage, 2015)Cardiac and renal diseases are common disorders that frequently coexist. We tested the hypothesis that the levels of circulating endothelial-derived apoptotic microparticles (EDA-MPs; CD31(＋)CD42b(-)AN(-)V(＋)) and ... -
Lone Stent Graft Treatment of Symptomatic Gluteal Artery Aneurysm.
(Elsevier, 2016-05-26)We report the case of a large superior gluteal artery aneurysm treated with covered stent graft insertion. Exclusion of the aneurysm was achieved, with resolution of symptoms and shrinkage of the sac, without the need for ... -
A systematic review of the compression regimes used in randomised clinical trials following endovenous ablation.
(Sage, 2016-05-12)There is insufficient evidence to inform guidelines on the optimal compression strategy following ablation for varicose veins. This study aimed to identify the practice of key opinion leaders performing randomised clinical ... -

Treatment strategies for in-stent restenosis in peripheral arterial disease: a systematic review.
(2018-07-24)Our purpose was to investigate the outcomes of different treatment strategies for in-stent restenosis (ISR) in patients with peripheral arterial disease of the lower limbs. -
18F-FDG PET in the Diagnosis of Vascular Prosthetic Graft Infection: A Diagnostic Test Accuracy Meta-Analysis.
(Elsevier, 2018-09-18)For the diagnosis of vascular prosthetic graft infection (VPGI), an intra-operative peri-graft biopsy is often required. Controversy exists regarding the use of imaging techniques in the diagnostic process. This study aimed ... -
Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Very Urgent Carotid Intervention for Symptomatic Carotid Disease.
(Elsevier, 2018-08-22)The optimum timing of carotid intervention for symptomatic carotid stenosis remains unclear. The objective was to investigate outcomes of very urgent (< 48 h from neurological event) in comparison to urgent (≥ 48 h from ...
