Targeted duplex ultrasound in a one-stop dialysis vascular access assessment clinic (2011)
Journal Article
Smith, G. E., Samuel, N., Khan, J., Johnson, B. F., & Chetter, I. C. (2011). Targeted duplex ultrasound in a one-stop dialysis vascular access assessment clinic. Annals of vascular surgery, 25(8), 1099-1103. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.avsg.2011.02.043

BackgroundMany duplex detectable factors have been shown to correlate with upper limb arteriovenous fistula (AVF) outcomes, and many practitioners now request preoperative duplex vessel mapping routinely before AVF surgery. We report outcomes from a... Read More about Targeted duplex ultrasound in a one-stop dialysis vascular access assessment clinic.

Junction jump sign: a useful adjunct to the precise positioning of the catheter tip during endovenous thermal ablation (2011)
Journal Article
Samuel, N., Wallace, T., Smith, G. E., Shahin, Y., & Chetter, I. C. (2011). Junction jump sign: a useful adjunct to the precise positioning of the catheter tip during endovenous thermal ablation. Ultrasound, 19(2), 97-98. https://doi.org/10.1258/ult.2011.011006

Duplex ultrasound imaging plays a key role in the increasingly popular, minimally invasive endothermal treatment of varicose veins. Accurate placement of the echodense tip of endovenous catheter distal to the site of junctional incompetence is by far...

Ultrasound evaluation of carotid body tumours (2011)
Journal Article
Samuel, N., Smith, G., Wolstenhulme, S., & Chetter, I. (2011). Ultrasound evaluation of carotid body tumours. Ultrasound, 19(1), 26-30. https://doi.org/10.1258/ult.2010.010037

Carotid body tumour (CBT) is a rare neoplasm that usually presents as an asymptomatic slow-growing neck mass at the carotid bifurcation. Due to these benign attributes, CBTs often go undiagnosed for a few years before a lateral neck mass becomes clin... Read More about Ultrasound evaluation of carotid body tumours.

Recognition of inflammatory aneurysms in abdominal aortic aneurysm screening and surveillance (2010)
Journal Article
Smith, G. E., Samuel, N., Wolstenholme, S., Akomolafe, A. B., & Chetter, I. C. (2010). Recognition of inflammatory aneurysms in abdominal aortic aneurysm screening and surveillance. Ultrasound, 18(4), 186-190. https://doi.org/10.1258/ult.2010.010035

Inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms (IAAAs) account for 3-10% of all abdominal aortic aneurysms and are characterized by a thickened aneurysmal wall, with extensive fibrosis and adhesions. Ultrasound remains the investigation of choice for diagno... Read More about Recognition of inflammatory aneurysms in abdominal aortic aneurysm screening and surveillance.

A preoperative supervised exercise program potentially improves long-term survival after elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sethi, S., Ravindhran, B., Long, J., Gurung, R., Huang, C., Smith, G. E., Carradice, D., Wallace, T., Ibeggazene, S., Chetter, I. C., & Pymer, S. A preoperative supervised exercise program potentially improves long-term survival after elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Presented at 2023 Vascular Annual Meeting of the Society for Vascular Surgery, National Harbor, Maryland

Objective: A preoperative supervised exercise program (SEP) improves cardiorespiratory fitness and perioperative outcomes for patients undergoing elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a pre...
