Journal Article
Barakat, H. M., Shahin, Y., Khan, J. A., McCollum, P. T., & Chetter, I. C. (2013). Role of pre-operative multiple gated acquisition scanning in predicting long-term outcome in patients undergoing elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. World Journal of Surgery, 37(5), 1169-1173. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00268-013-1939-3

ObjectiveTo determine whether resting pre-operative left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) estimated by multiple gated acquisition scanning (MUGA) predicts long-term survival in patients undergoing elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair....

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors effect on arterial stiffness and wave reflections: a meta-analysis and meta-regression of randomised controlled trials (2011)
Journal Article
Shahin, Y., Khan, J. A., & Chetter, I. (2012). Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors effect on arterial stiffness and wave reflections: a meta-analysis and meta-regression of randomised controlled trials. Atherosclerosis, 221(1), 18-33. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2011.12.005

ObjectiveSeveral studies have assessed the effect of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) on arterial stiffness and wave reflections as measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx), respectively. We conducted a meta-...

Annals of vascular surgery, 25(7), 878-886. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.avsg.2011.05.013

BackgroundTo evaluate patients' awareness, functional outcome, and satisfaction after abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair.MethodsA study-specific questionnaire was developed with collaboration of a multidisciplinary team. Lists of patients who und... Read More about Patients' perspective of functional outcome after elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: a questionnaire survey.

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.

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors effect on endothelial dysfunction: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (2011)
Journal Article

ObjectiveSeveral studies have assessed the effect of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) on endothelial dysfunction as measured by brachial flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMD). We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate this effect in co...
