Aortic dissection (AD) is one of the most challenging vascular diseases, with an in-patient mortality as high as 30 %1 and 30-day and 5-year fatality rates of just over 50 % and 60 %, respectively.2 The time course of AD is broadly spit into acute (<14 days), subacute (15–90 days), and chronic (>90 days) phases, and it is split clinically into complicated (i.e. the condition is associated… View more

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), a procedure often performed under local anaesthetic with a 2–3 day length of stay, has the capacity to transform lives for the better with dramatic improvements in exercise tolerance and quality of life. Complication rates are low, but stroke – particularly disabling stroke – remains a feared outcome for patients and operators alike. As such, it is… View more

If you can look into the seeds of time and say which grain will grow and which will not speak then to me. Macbeth; William Shakespeare. Predictions of the role of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in moderate-risk patients is fraught with potential pitfalls. The matrix of outcomes is interlinked and changes in one cell may have consequences beyond currently observable measures. For… View more

With an ageing population, the burden of peripheral artery diseases (PADs) is increasing. The treatment of these diseases has largely been performed by interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons and interventional cardiologists. In 2011, the percentage of procedures performed per specialty were 12.9 %, 45.0 % and 42.2 % for interventional radiology, vascular surgery and interventional… View more

Arterial hypertension is a slow killer. A severe coarctation presenting in the neonatal period is frequently associated with hypoplasia of the aortic arch, which is proof of earlier poor foetal flow. Many hypoplastic segments after coarctation repair will show good outgrowth, probably due to enhanced flow through the arch. Early repair during infancy optimises arch growth, while late repair… View more
