Catheter-related venous thrombosis is one of the most important complications of central venous catheters. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the risk factors that may be important in the development of catheter-related thrombosis. Multiple lumen (n = 20) and single lumen (n = 24) polyurethane catheters were inserted to the subclavian vein by the infraclavicular approach in 44 consecutive patients. All variables that may be significant for the development of thrombosis related to the patient, the catheter, the insertion technique and the solution administered through the line were recorded. Eighteen of 44 patients (40%) were found to have venous thrombosis. Two factors were found to correlate significantly with the development of central venous catheter-related thrombosis, namely the number of vein punctures (one vs two punctures, P < 0.01) and the composition of solution (fluid replacement vs total parenteral nutrition, P = 0.01).

Meta-analysis of prognostic factors for amputation following surgical repair of lower extremity vascular trauma Perkins, Z. B.; Yet, Barbaros; Glasgow, S.; Cole, E.; Marsh, W.; Brohi, K.; Rasmussen, T. E.; Tai, N. R. M. (Wiley, 2015-04-01) Background: Lower extremity vascular trauma (LEVT) is a major cause of amputation. A clear understanding of prognostic factors for amputation is important to inform surgical decision-making, patient counselling and risk stratification. The aim was to develop an understanding of prognostic factors for amputation following surgical repair of LEVT.
A Novel Method to Adjust Saphenous Vein Graft Lengths Using 3D Printing Models Gocer, Hakan; Durukan, Ahmet Baris; Tunc, Osman; Naseri, Erdinc; Ercan, Ertugrul (Carden Jennings Publishing Co., 2020-01-01) Background: The optimal length of saphenous vein grafts can be challenging in surgical coronary revascularization. It is the cornerstone for graft patency. In this study, we tried to demonstrate the value of 3D printing in determining optimal saphenous graft length.
Prevention of postoperative late kyphosis in Pott's disease by anterior decompression and intervertebral grafting Korkusuz, Feza; Islam, C; Korkusuz, Z (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1997-06-01) A total of 185 patients with Pott's disease were operated on between 1973 and 1992. Anterior decompression by preserving the pleura (extrapleural approach) was the preferred method in the thoracic spine. In the lumbar spine the approach was retroperitoneal, and interbody fusion was performed in both for the thoracic and the Lumbar regions. Anterior decompression and intervertebral grafting comprised the treatment. In five patients, internal fixation accompanied anterior decompression and intervertebral graf...
Predicting the Outcome of Limb Revascularization in Patients With Lower-extremity Arterial Trauma: Development and External Validation of a Supervised Machine-learning Algorithm to Support Surgical Decisions. Perkins, Zane B.; Yet, Barbaros; Sharrock, Anna; Rickard, Rory; Marsh, William; Rasmussen, Todd E.; Tai, Nigel R M (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2020-10-01) Objectives: Estimating the likely success of limb revascularization in patients with lower-extremity arterial trauma is central to decisions between attempting limb salvage and amputation. However, the projected outcome is often unclear at the time these decisions need to be made, making them difficult and threatening sound judgement. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a prediction model that can quantify an individual patient's risk of failed revascularization. Methods: A BN progno...
Prognostic Factors for Amputation Following Surgical Repair of Lower Extremity Vascular Trauma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies Perkins, Zane B.; Yet, Barbaros; Glasgow, Simon; Marsh, William; Brohi, Karim; Rasmussen, Todd E.; Tai, Nigel R. (2014-06-01) Background: Lower extremity vascular trauma (LEVT) is a major cause of amputation. A clear understanding of prognostic factors for amputation is important to inform surgical decision-making, patient counselling and risk stratification. The aim was to develop an understanding of prognostic factors for amputation following surgical repair of LEVT. Methods: A systematic review was conducted to identify potential prognostic factors. Bayesian meta-analysis was used to calculate an absolute (pooled proportion) a...
