Journal of Vascular Societies Great Britain and Ireland, 3(2), 76-83. https://doi.org/10.54522/jvsgbi.2024.116

Introduction: Current surgical site infection (SSI) prevention guidance indicates low-quality evidence supporting many of their recommendations. Subsequently, there is substantial variation in practice and often implementation of unsubstantiated inte...

Extracorporeal Shockwave for Intermittent Claudication and Quality of Life: A Randomized Clinical Trial (2024)
Journal Article
Cai, P., Pymer, S., Raza, A., Ibeggazene, S., Hitchman, L., Chetter, I., & Smith, G. (2024). Extracorporeal Shockwave for Intermittent Claudication and Quality of Life: A Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA Surgery, https://doi.org/10.1001/jamasurg.2024.0625

Importance: Intermittent lower limb claudication limits function and quality of life. Supervised exercise programs are not readily available, and a noninvasive alternative is needed. Objective: To assess extracorporeal corporeal shockwave therapy in... Read More about Extracorporeal Shockwave for Intermittent Claudication and Quality of Life: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
