Journal Article
Spark, J., Chetter, I., Kester, R., & Scott, D. (1997). Allogeneic versus autologous blood during abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery. European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 14(6), 482-486. https://doi.org/10.1016/s1078-5884%2897%2980128-1

Objectives: To determine if cell-salvaged autologous blood can serve as an alternative to homologous blood, and to examine the incidence of infected complications and length of postoperative stay. Design: A prospective randomised study comprising aut... Read More about Allogeneic versus autologous blood during abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery.

Correlating clinical indicators of lower-limb ischaemia with quality of life (1997)
Journal Article
Chetter, I., Dolan, P., Spark, J., Scott, D., & Kester, R. (1997). Correlating clinical indicators of lower-limb ischaemia with quality of life. Cardiovascular Surgery -Oxford-, 5(4), 361-366. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0967-2109%2897%2900011-2

The objectives of the study were to analyse the impact of increasing lower-limb ischaemia upon quality of life and to assess the correlation between clinical indicators of lower-limb ischaemia and such quality. A prospective observational study of a... Read More about Correlating clinical indicators of lower-limb ischaemia with quality of life.

Quality of life analysis in patients with lower limb ischaemia: Suggestions for European standardisation (1997)
Journal Article

Hyperbaric oxygen normalised microvascular reflexes in patients with peripheral arterial disease
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abidia, A., Kuhan, G., McCollum, P., & Chetter, I. Hyperbaric oxygen normalised microvascular reflexes in patients with peripheral arterial disease. Paper presented at Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) Annual Meeting

BACKGROUND: The abnormal microvascular reflexes seen in vascular patients are of importance in the pathogenesis of complications. We investigated the influence of oxygen on two reflexes, the vasoconstrictive response to leg dependency (VCD) and the v...
