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.

Journal Article
Kester, R. C., Kent, P. J., & Chetter, I. C. (1997). The hand arm vibration syndrome: A review. Cardiovascular Surgery -Oxford-, 6(1), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0967-2109%2897%2900090-2

Since its first description over eight decades ago, the hand arm vibration syndrome - vibration white finger as it was previously known - has become one of the most common prescribed diseases in the industrialized world. This article is intended to p... Read More about The hand arm vibration syndrome: A review.

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
Chetter, I., Spark, J., Dolan, P., Scott, D., & Kester, R. (1997). Quality of life analysis in patients with lower limb ischaemia: Suggestions for European standardisation.

Introduction and Objectives:In this era of evidence-based medicine and limited resources we seem obliged, on clinical and economic grounds, to demonstrate that we improve not only patient survival but also the quality of patients' lives. This study a... Read More about Quality of life analysis in patients with lower limb ischaemia: Suggestions for European standardisation.

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...

The placebo effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy - fact or fiction?
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abidia, A., Kuhan, G., Laden, G., Bahia, H., Chetter, I., & McCollum, P. The placebo effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy - fact or fiction?

BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) frequently report improvement in their health status; however, it is debatable whether this is a true effect of HBO or a placebo. We aimed to investigate the placebo effect of receiving... Read More about The placebo effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy - fact or fiction?.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sethi, S., Ravindhran, B., Long, J., Gurung, R., Huang, C., Smith, G. E., Carradice, D., Wallace, T., Ibeggazene, S., Chetter, I. C., & Pymer, S. A preoperative supervised exercise program potentially improves long-term survival after elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Presented at 2023 Vascular Annual Meeting of the Society for Vascular Surgery, National Harbor, Maryland

Objective: A preoperative supervised exercise program (SEP) improves cardiorespiratory fitness and perioperative outcomes for patients undergoing elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a pre...
