Introduction Upper extremity disease and its management are amongst some of the most complex topics in vascular surgery. Unlike lower extremity disease, which is due to atherosclerosis most of the time, upper extremity arterial disease encompasses a wide variety of…
Bypass to infrageniculate arteries for chronic limb-threatening ischemia continues to provide a most challenging aspect of arterial reconstruction confronting vascular surgeons today. Their length and low flow all too often exceed the functional limits of synthetic and often even of…
The abdominal aorta, located posterior to the parietal peritoneum and adjacent to the spine, is by definition a retroperitoneal structure. The ease of aortic exposure from the supradiaphragmatic level to the iliac bifurcation makes a retroperitoneal approach an ideal option…
All methods of arterial closure following a standard carotid endarterectomy (CEA) are associated with appreciable rates of persistent or recurrent internal carotid artery (ICA) stenoses, of which some are related to technical issues in closing the artery. Eversion endarterectomy of…
Historical Background Conventional carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is an excellent and time-tested technique; however, eversion CEA is quicker to perform, avoids insertion of prosthetic material, and is associated with postoperative morbidity and restenosis rates that are comparable with those for conventional…
