Journal ArticleDOI

Pathophysiology and epidemiology of abdominal aortic aneurysms

TL;DR: In many countries, centralization of vascular surgical services has largely been driven by the improved outcomes of elective aneurysm surgery in specialized centers, the widespread adoption of endovascular techniques, and the introduction of screening programs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lower extremity amputations — a review of global variability in incidence

TL;DR: In this article, a literature review was performed using the EMBASE and MEDLINE databases from 1989 until 2010 for incidence of lower extremity amputation, showing significant variation with no single standard upon which to benchmark care.
Journal ArticleDOI

Angiogenesis and the atherosclerotic carotid plaque: An association between symptomatology and plaque morphology

TL;DR: Symptomatic carotid disease is associated with increased neovascularization within the atherosclerotic plaque and fibrous cap and may contribute to plaque instability and the onset of thromboembolic sequelae.
Journal ArticleDOI
