Annals of vascular surgery, 12 2 2024, Pages S0890-5096(24)00174-2 Towards uniform case-identification criteria in observational studies on peripheral arterial disease: A scoping review. Keekstra N, Biemond M, van Schaik J, Schepers A, Hamming JF, van der Vorst JR, Lindeman JHN
Objective: The diagnosis peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is commonly applied for symptoms related to atherosclerotic obstructions in the lower extremity, though its clinical manifestations range from an abnormal Ankle Brachial Index to critical limb ischemia. Subsequently, management and prognosis of PAD vary widely with the disease stage. A critical aspect is how this variation is addressed in administrative databases-based studies that rely on diagnosis codes for case identification. The obj... Abstract

Background: Sarcopenia is identified as a predictive factor for adverse outcomes after complex endovascular aortic repair (complex EVAR). Consensus on preferred parameters for sarcopenia is not yet reached. The current study compares three CT-assessed parameters on their association with adverse outcomes after complex EVAR. Methods: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study. Psoas Muscle Index (PMI), Skeletal Muscle Index (SMI), and lean psoas muscle area (LPMA) were examined by CT-seg... Abstract
Journal of vascular surgery, Volume 79, Issue 2, 31 5 2023, Pages 405-411 Diagnostic accuracy of the maximal systolic acceleration to detect peripheral arterial disease. Willems SA, Dolfing SG, van Wissen RC, van der Vorst JR, van Schaik J, Schepers A, Hamming JF, Brouwers JJWM
Background: Diagnosing peripheral arterial disease (PAD) can be challenging owing to medial arterial calcification (MAC) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Current bedside tests, such as the ankle-brachial index and toe-brachial index, are often insufficient. The maximal systolic acceleration (ACCmax) is a velocimetric Doppler-derived parameter and could be a new promising test in the diagnostic workup of these patients. The primary aim of this study was to... Abstract

Journal of clinical medicine, Volume 12, Issue 15, 26 4 2023, Pages 4921 Increased Aortic Exclusion in Endovascular Treatment of Complex Aortic Aneurysms. Verhagen M, Eefting D, van Rijswijk C, van der Meer R, Hamming J, van der Vorst J, van Schaik J
Purpose: Perioperative risk assessments for complex aneurysms are based on the anatomical extent of the aneurysm and do not take the length of the aortic exclusion into account, as it was developed for open repair. Nevertheless, in the endovascular repair (ER) of complex aortic aneurysms, additional segments of healthy aorta are excluded compared with open repair (OR). The aim of this study was to assess differences in aortic exclusion between the ER and OR of complex aortic aneurysms, to subseq... Abstract
