IP201. Hypoalbuminemia Predicts Increased Resource Utilization After Lower Extremity Bypass

Acute lower extremity paralysis after lower extremity endovascular intervention.

A 61-year-old man underwent successful percutaneous revascularization of both lower limbs with multiple stent implantations. Paralysis of right lower limb was noticed after completion of procedure when transferring the patient from angiography table. Since hematoma compressing lumbosacral neural plexus could be a fatal complication, computed tomography (CT) image was taken. CT showed bulge of d...

Blood transfusion for lower extremity bypass is associated with increased wound infection and graft thrombosis.

BACKGROUND Packed RBC transfusion has been postulated to increase morbidity and mortality after cardiac/general surgical operations, but its effects after lower extremity bypass (LEB) have not been studied extensively. STUDY DESIGN Using the Vascular Study Group of New England's database (2003-2010), we examined 1,880 consecutive infrainguinal LEB performed for critical limb ischemia. Periope...

Neurocognitive Reaction Time Predicts Lower Extremity Sprains and Strains

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ATHLETIC THERAPY & TRAINING agility, core stability, low back dysfunction, joint alignment, gender, joint mobility, psychosocial stress, and many other factors.2-6 Although evidence exists to support the association of various factors with lower extremity musculoskeletal injury, the relative contributions of individual factors to the multifactorial etiologies of differe...

Defining risks and predicting adverse events after lower extremity bypass for critical limb ischemia

Successful treatment of patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI), hinges on the adequacy of revascularization. However, CLI is associated with a severe burden of systemic atherosclerosis, and patients often suffer from multiple cardiovascular comorbidities. Therefore, CLI patients in general represent a cohort at increased risk for procedural complications and adverse events. Although endovas...
