Supervised exercise program improves aerobic fitness in patients awaiting abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (2013)
Journal Article
Barakat, H. M., Shahin, Y., Barnes, R., Gohil, R., Souroullas, P., Khan, J., McCollum, P. T., & Chetter, I. C. (2014). Supervised exercise program improves aerobic fitness in patients awaiting abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Annals of vascular surgery, 28(1), 74-79. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.avsg.2013.09.001

Background
Aerobic fitness is an important predictor of postoperative outcome in major surgery. In this study, we assess the effects of a period of preoperative exercise on aerobic fitness as measured by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in pa...

Atherosclerosis, 231(2), 283-290. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2013.09.037

Objective
The aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate the effect of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors on maximum walking distance (MWD), pain-free walking distance (PFWD) and ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) in patients with in...

Background
The purpose of this study was to evaluate morbidity, mortality, and survival in octogenarians undergoing open repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (RAAAs) in comparison to younger patients.MethodsThis investigation was a retrospe...

A "Christmas tree" band for the treatment of arteriovenous dialysis access-related steal syndrome (2013)
Journal Article
Smith, G., Barnes, R., Green, L., Kuhan, G., & Chetter, I. C. (2013). A "Christmas tree" band for the treatment of arteriovenous dialysis access-related steal syndrome. Annals of vascular surgery, 27(2), 239.e9 - 239.e12. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.avsg.2012.10.004

Background
Dialysis access steal syndrome (DASS) is an uncommon but often debilitating complication of dialysis access formation. We present a technical description of a novel arteriovenous fistula (AVF) banding technique for the treatment of DASS a...
