Journal ArticleDOI
Have Thoracic Endografting Outcomes Improved Since US Food and Drug Administration Approval
Castigliano M. Bhamidipati,Damien J. LaPar,Gaurav S. Mehta,John A. Kern,Irving L. Kron,Gilbert R. Upchurch,Gorav Ailawadi +6 more
TL;DR: Mortality in patients undergoing repair of thoracic aneurysms has decreased in the United States since Food and Drug Administration approval of stent grafts in 2005, and this is due to wider adoption of TEVAR and improved mortality in Patients undergoing TEVar or open repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of hospital volume on patient safety indicators and failure to rescue following open aortic aneurysm repair.
Salvatore T. Scali,Kristina A. Giles,Paul Kubilis,Adam W. Beck,Cristina J. Crippen,Steven J. Hughes,Thomas S. Huber,Gilbert R. Upchurch,David H. Stone +8 more
TL;DR: HV accounted for a significant proportion of the observed variation in FTR and specific complications providing direct evidence for how the volume-outcome relationship may influence perioperative mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Klf4, Klf2, and Zfp148 activate autophagy-related genes in smooth muscle cells during aortic aneurysm formation
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that autophagy is an important mechanism related to Klfs in smooth muscle cells during AAA formation, and Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that Klf4, Klf2, and Zfp148 separately bind autophagic genes in smooth Muscle cells following elastase treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vein wall remodeling after deep vein thrombosis: differential effects of low molecular weight heparin and doxycycline
Vikram Sood,Cathy Luke,Erin M. Miller,Mayo Mitsuya,Gilbert R. Upchurch,Thomas W. Wakefield,D.D. Myers,Peter K. Henke +7 more
TL;DR: Treatment with LMWH or DOXY did not alter the size of deep vein thrombosis, mildly altered thrombus composition, and differentially affected vein wall injury, despite similar reductions in early MMP9 activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abdominal aortic aneurysm screening: recommendations and controversies.
TL;DR: Routine abdominal aortic aneurysm screening in men aged 65 to 75 years has many advantages over other accepted medical screening programs in its simplicity in structure and the availability of an inexpensive, portable, and reliable means of screening.
