Peripheral Artery Disease

Study design for an emulated trial of a 2 arm, parallel, stratified, adaptive, RCT of CABG versus PCI in people requiring myocardial revascularization at high risk (High-Risk REVASC).

AIM: This study aims to use routinely collected health data and trial emulation methodology to inform the design of a pragmatic randomized controlled trial (RCT) in people requiring multivessel coronary revascularization with severe symptomatic multivessel disease and high-risk characteristics, typically underrepresented in previous RCTs. METHODS: Hospital episode statistics (HES) linked to Office...

Identification of a potential relationship between pigmented villonodular synovitis and atherosclerosis using comprehensive bioinformatics analyses.

BACKGROUND: This study investigates the pathogenesis of Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (PVNS) using bioinformatics approaches shared with atherosclerosis (AS). METHODS: Common genes from GSE3698 and GSE28829 were identified. A PPI network was constructed using the STRING database and analyzed with Cytoscape, MCODE, and cytoHubba to determine hub genes. These underwent GO and KEGG enrichment anal...
