Journal ArticleDOI
Frailty increases the risk of 30-day mortality, morbidity, and failure to rescue after elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair independent of age and comorbidities
Shipra Arya,Shipra Arya,Sung In Kim,Yazan Duwayri,Luke P. Brewster,Luke P. Brewster,Ravi K. Veeraswamy,Atef A. Salam,Atef A. Salam,Thomas F. Dodson +9 more
TL;DR: Higher mFI, independent of other risk factors, is associated with higher mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective EVAR and OAR, and the mortality in frail patients is further driven by FTR from postoperative complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of statin dose with amputation and survival in patients with peripheral artery disease
Shipra Arya,Anjali Khakharia,Zachary Binney,Randall R. DeMartino,Luke P. Brewster,Philip P. Goodney,Peter W.F. Wilson +6 more
TL;DR: This is the first population-based study to show that high- intensity statin use at the time of PAD diagnosis is associated with a significant reduction in limb loss and mortality in comparison with low-to-moderate–intensity statin users, and patients treated only with antiplatelet medications but not with statins, as well.
Journal ArticleDOI
Race and Socioeconomic Status Independently Affect Risk of Major Amputation in Peripheral Artery Disease
Shipra Arya,Shipra Arya,Zachary Binney,Anjali Khakharia,Luke P. Brewster,Luke P. Brewster,Phil Goodney,Rachel E. Patzer,Jason M. Hockenberry,Peter W.F. Wilson,Peter W.F. Wilson +10 more
TL;DR: Black race significantly increases the risk of amputation within the same SES stratum compared with white race and has an independent effect on limb loss after controlling for comorbidities, severity of PAD at presentation, and use of medications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tissue Engineering of Blood Vessels: Functional Requirements, Progress, and Future Challenges
TL;DR: The current inadequacies of autologus and synthetic grafts are highlighted, the engineering requirements for implantation of tissue-engineered grafts, and the current status of tissue -engineered blood vessel research are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender and frailty predict poor outcomes in infrainguinal vascular surgery.
Reshma Brahmbhatt,Luke P. Brewster,Susan M. Shafii,Ravi R. Rajani,Ravi K. Veeraswamy,Atef A. Salam,Atef A. Salam,Thomas F. Dodson,Shipra Arya,Shipra Arya +9 more
TL;DR: Female gender and frailty are both associated with increased risk of complications and death following infrainguinal vascular procedures with the highest risk in frail females.
