Thesis
Birmpili, P. (2023). Addressing delays to treatment in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia. (Thesis). Hull York Medical School. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4371299

Patients with CLTI often face long delays from referral to the vascular surgery service and hospital admission to revascularisation, and there is limited evidence on the effect of these delays on patient outcomes. This thesis aims to identify factors... Read More about Addressing delays to treatment in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia.

Long term outcomes of ‘Christmas Tree’ banding for haemodialysis access induced distal ischemia: A 13-year experience (2022)
Journal Article
Ravindhran, B., Totty, J. P., Sidapra, M., Lathan, R., Carradice, D., Chetter, I. C., & Smith, G. E. (in press). Long term outcomes of ‘Christmas Tree’ banding for haemodialysis access induced distal ischemia: A 13-year experience. The journal of vascular access, https://doi.org/10.1177/11297298221141497

Background: The reduction in distal arterial flow following arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation can cause a perfusion deficit known as haemodialysis access induced distal ischemia (HAIDI). Various techniques have been advocated to treat this difficu... Read More about Long term outcomes of ‘Christmas Tree’ banding for haemodialysis access induced distal ischemia: A 13-year experience.
