Central catheter-related venous thrombosis
Central catheter-related venous thrombosis is a common cause of upper limb DVT, particularly in patients with underlying malignancy.
Category Vascular Surgery
Cervical artery dissection
Cervical artery dissections (CADs) involve the carotid or vertebral arteries and are a significant cause of stroke in young people. Internal carotid artery dissections are most common
Acute ischaemic limb
Limb ischaemia is generally classified on the basis of its onset and severity, and may be complete, incomplete or irreversible
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a permanent localised or diffuse dilatation of the abdominal aorta to 1.5 times its normal diameter that involving all three layers of the vessel wall
Jugular venous thrombosis
Lemierre syndrome is infective thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein caused primarily by anaerobic organisms from a focus of oropharyngeal infection
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Surveillance Chart
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Surveillance Chart. All incidentally found aortic aneurysms should be referred to a vascular surgeon if the patient is a potential candidate for surgery.
Acute Aortic Dissection
Acute Aortic Dissection (AAD) is uncommon but highly lethal, requiring prompt recognition and management. Due to its non-specific clinical presentation, a high index of suspicion is necessary, particularly in high-risk patients.
Aortic Dissection Detection Risk Score (ADD-RS)
The Aortic Dissection Detection Risk Score (ADD-RS) is a validated scoring system that helps stratify low to moderate risk patients who may have an aortic dissection.
Superficial venous thrombosis
Superficial venous thrombosis is rarely life-threatening. It carries a low risk of pulmonary embolism(1%), with concurrent DVT(~25%).
Thromboangiitis obliterans
Thromboangiitis obliterans (aka Buerger disease) is a non-atherosclerotic, segmental, inflammatory disease that most commonly affects the small to medium-sized arteries and veins of the upper and lower limbs.
Leopold Von Schrötter
Leopold Schrötter Ritter von Kristelli (1837-1908) an Austrian internal physician. He is known for his description of effort thrombosis (upper limb DVT) eponymously termed Paget-Shroetter syndrome in 1884.
Visceral artery aneurysm
Visceral artery aneurysm (VAA) and visceral artery pseudoaneurysm (VAPA) are arterial aneurysms affecting the coeliac, superior mesenteric, or inferior mesenteric arteries and their branches.
