Journal Article
Shahin, Y., Mazari, F., & Chetter, I. (2011). Do angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors improve walking distance in patients with symptomatic lower limb arterial disease? A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials. International journal of surgery, 9(3), 209-213. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijsu.2010.12.006

Background
Several studies have reported the clinical effects of long-term treatment with cardioprotective medications in patients with lower limb peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in terms of reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A numbe... Read More about Do angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors improve walking distance in patients with symptomatic lower limb arterial disease?

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.

Computerized dynamic posturography in the objective assessment of balance in patients with intermittent claudication (2010)
Journal Article
Mockford, K. A., Mazari, F. A. K., Jordan, A. R., Vanicek, N., Chetter, I. C., & Coughlin, P. A. (2011). Computerized dynamic posturography in the objective assessment of balance in patients with intermittent claudication. Annals of vascular surgery, 25(2), 182-190. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.avsg.2010.07.021

One-third of all elderly patients fall each year and impaired balance has been recognized as a specific risk factor. Intermittent claudication is common among the elderly population, affecting approximately 5% of the population over the age of 50. Th...

Energy delivery during 810 nm endovenous laser ablation of varicose veins and post-procedural morbidity (2010)
Journal Article
Carradice, D., Mazari, F. A., Mekako, A., Hatfield, J., Allgar, V., & Chetter, I. (2010). Energy delivery during 810 nm endovenous laser ablation of varicose veins and post-procedural morbidity.

Aim: The durability of occlusion post endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) for varicose veins is linked to the magnitude of energy delivered to the vein and consequently increasing amounts of energy are employed. The aim of this study is to establish whet... Read More about Energy delivery during 810 nm endovenous laser ablation of varicose veins and post-procedural morbidity.
