Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) cause 5,000 deaths a year in the UK. Self-examination for AAAs may provide an economic and practical solution. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) concentration is elevated and levels of their natural inhibitors - Tissue...

Background

Venous insufficiency is very common and causes significant quality of life (QoL) impairment. Conventional open surgery featuring junction ligation, stripping of the axial vein and phlebectomy is known to offer significant benefits over...

Introduction: The primary goal in the management of intermittent claudication is to decrease cardiovascular morbidity and mortality by disease modifying therapy. However percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is often performed to improve limb r...
