Predicting lack of clinical improvement following varicose vein ablation using machine learning.

Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders
OBJECTIVE: Varicose vein ablation is generally indicated in patients with active/healed venous ulcers. However, patient selection for intervention in individuals without venous ulcers is less clear. Tools that predict lack of clinical improvement (LC...

Noncontrast MRI-based machine learning and radiomics signature can predict the severity of primary lower limb lymphedema.

Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders
OBJECTIVE: According to International Lymphology Society guidelines, the severity of lymphedema is determined by the difference in volume between the affected limb and the healthy side divided by the volume of the healthy side. However, this method o...

Predicting inferior vena cava filter complications using machine learning.

Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders
OBJECTIVE: Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement is associated with important long-term complications. Predictive models for filter-related complications may help guide clinical decision-making but remain limited. We developed machine learning (M...

Humans use tools: From handcrafted tools to artificial intelligence.

Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders
Human evolution is instrument based. Humans created tools >2 million years ago to aid them in hunting, gathering, and defense, allowing them to build shelters and farms and transport goods and people over great distances. Written records preserved ou...

Robotic inferior vena cava surgery.

Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders
OBJECTIVE: Inferior vena cava (IVC) surgery is uncommon and has traditionally been performed through open surgical approaches. Renal cell carcinoma with IVC extension generally requires vena cavotomy and reconstruction. Open removal of malpositioned ...

Quantifying saphenous recirculation in patients with primary lower extremity venous reflux.

Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders
BACKGROUND: The great saphenous vein (GSV) in patients with superficial venous insufficiency might act as a beneficial conduit for antegrade venous drainage and also as a harmful conduit for promotion of reflux and/or recirculation and subsequent ski...

Association between inflammation biomarkers, anatomic extent of deep venous thrombosis, and venous symptoms after deep venous thrombosis.

Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders
OBJECTIVE: Inflammation may play a role in pathogenesis of venous thromboembolism, but the nature of this relationship is not yet understood. The objective of this study was to assess whether inflammation marker levels measured at diagnosis of deep v...

Infraclavicular first rib resection for the treatment of acute venous thoracic outlet syndrome.

Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders
OBJECTIVE: Venous thoracic outlet syndrome (VTOS) is most commonly treated by transaxillary, supraclavicular, or paraclavicular approaches, based on surgeon preference. However, we have adopted an infraclavicular approach to VTOS as the surgical path...

A study of increase in leg volume during complex physical therapy for leg lymphedema using subcutaneous tissue ultrasonography.

Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to discuss the mode of increase in leg volume during complex physical therapy (CPT) for lymphedema using subcutaneous tissue ultrasonography.

The effects of environmental and compositional manipulations on the longevity of Tessari-made foam for sclerotherapy.

Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders
BACKGROUND: Tessari-made foam sclerotherapy is performed around the world in a variety of clinics differing in methods, equipment, temperatures, and altitudes. We investigated how the following factors affected the foam's longevity: silicone vs nonsi...
