A prospective observational study to assess the impact of operator seniority on outcome following arteriovenous fistula formation (2015)
Journal Article
Barnes, R., Smith, G. E., & Chetter, I. C. (2015). A prospective observational study to assess the impact of operator seniority on outcome following arteriovenous fistula formation. The journal of vascular access, 16(5), 372-376. https://doi.org/10.5301/jva.5000401

Purpose: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) surgery affords an excellent opportunity for junior surgeons to learn key vascular techniques. However, implementation of the European Working Time Directive has reduced trainee surgeon’s working hours, leading to...

A review of the potential local mechanisms by which exercise improves functional outcomes in intermittent claudication (2015)
Journal Article
Harwood, A., Cayton, T., Sarvanandan, R., Lane, R., & Chetter, I. (2016). A review of the potential local mechanisms by which exercise improves functional outcomes in intermittent claudication. Annals of vascular surgery, 30, 312-320. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.avsg.2015.05.043

© 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Background Intermittent claudication (IC) is a common condition which is associated with significant quality of life limitation. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines recommend a group-...

A systematic review and meta-analysis of systemic intraoperative anticoagulation during arteriovenous access formation for dialysis (2015)
Journal Article
Smith, G. E., Souroullos, P., Cayton, T., Harwood, A., Carradice, D., & Chetter, I. C. (2016). A systematic review and meta-analysis of systemic intraoperative anticoagulation during arteriovenous access formation for dialysis. The journal of vascular access, 17(1), 1-5. https://doi.org/10.5301/jva.5000484

Purpose: Surgical arteriovenous fistula (AVF) or graft (AVG) is preferred to a central venous catheter for dialysis access. Surgical access may suffer thrombosis early after placement and systemic anticoagulation during surgical access formation may...

A randomized clinical trial of endovenous laser ablation versus conventional surgery for small saphenous varicose veins (2015)
Journal Article
Nandhra, S., El-sheikha, J., Carradice, D., Wallace, T., Souroullas, P., Samuel, N., …Chetter, I. C. (2015). A randomized clinical trial of endovenous laser ablation versus conventional surgery for small saphenous varicose veins. Journal of vascular surgery, 61(3), 741-746. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvs.2014.09.037

Background: This randomized clinical trial compared endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) and surgical ligation with attempted stripping in the treatment of small saphenous vein (SSV) insufficiency. The early results demonstrated that EVLA was more likely... Read More about A randomized clinical trial of endovenous laser ablation versus conventional surgery for small saphenous varicose veins.
