A Comparative Study of Aortic Wall Stress Using Finite Element Analysis for Ruptured and Non-ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms*1 (2004)
Journal Article
VENKATASUBRAMANIAM, A., FAGAN, M., MEHTA, T., MYLANKAL, K., RAY, B., KUHAN, G., CHETTER, I., & MCCOLLUM, P. (2004). A Comparative Study of Aortic Wall Stress Using Finite Element Analysis for Ruptured and Non-ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms*1. European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 28(2), 168-176. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1078-5884%2804%2900178-9

Background. The decision to repair an asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is currently based on diameter (greater than or equal to 5.5 cm) alone. However, aneurysms less than 5.5 cm do rupture while some reach greater than 5.5 cm without rup...

Temporary balloon catheter occlusion for control of haemorrhage following penetrating axillary artery injury (2004)
Journal Article
Mehta, T., Venkata Subramaniam, A., Chetter, I., Nicholson, A., & Wilkinson, A. (2004). Temporary balloon catheter occlusion for control of haemorrhage following penetrating axillary artery injury. European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Extra, 8(2), 29-30. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejvsextra.2004.05.014

Penetrating injuries of the axillary artery are uncommon. Their repair can be difficult in the presence of torrential haemorrhage, which obscures the surgical field. We describe the use of interventional radiology for temporary control of bleeding to...

Background. The decision to repair an asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is currently based on diameter (≥5.5 cm) alone. However, aneurysms less than 5.5 cm do rupture while some reach greater than 5.5 cm without rupturing. Hence the need t...

The value of abdominal examination in the diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (2004)
Journal Article
Venkatasubramaniam, A., Mehta, T., Chetter, I., Bryce, J., Renwick, P., Johnson, B., Wilkinson, A., & McCollum, P. (2004). The value of abdominal examination in the diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm. European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 27(1), 56-60. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejvs.2003.09.006

Background. There is considerable variability in the reported value of clinical examination in the diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). This study aims to assess accuracy of abdominal examination by a doctor, a nurse and the patient in the...

Is disease specific quality of life analysis necessary in intermittent claudication?  (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mehta, T., Chetter, I., Venkatasubramaniam, A. K., Mylankal, K., Ray, B., & McCollum, P. Is disease specific quality of life analysis necessary in intermittent claudication? 

This study aimed to assess the validity and responsiveness of three disease-specific QoL instruments in intermittent claudication.

Disease-specific quality of life assessment in intermittent claudication: review (2003)
Journal Article
Mehta, T., Subramaniam, A., Chetter, I., & McCollum, P. (2003). Disease-specific quality of life assessment in intermittent claudication: review. European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 25(3), 202-208. https://doi.org/10.1053/ejvs.2002.1837

Objectives: intermittent claudication (IC) is a common condition that has a major impact on the patients' quality of life (QoL). Generic QoL instruments often lack sensitivity to detect small but clinically significant variation in QoL. Disease-speci...

Objectives: the aim of this study was to illustrate how a Bayesian hierarchical modelling approach can aid the reliable comparison of outcome rates between surgeons. Design: retrospective analysis of prospective and retrospective data. Materials: bin... Read More about A Bayesian hierarchical approach to comparative audit for carotid surgery.

How effective is acute normovolaemic haemodilution in femoro-distal bypass surgery? (2002)
Journal Article
Spark, J., Chetter, I., Kester, R., & Scott, D. (2002). How effective is acute normovolaemic haemodilution in femoro-distal bypass surgery?. Cardiovascular Surgery -Oxford-, 10(5), 460-463. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0967-2109%2802%2900060-1

Background: Recent guidelines have emphasised the use of autologous blood in the surgical setting. The aim of this study was to analyse the efficacy and efficiency of acute normovolaemic haemodilution (ANH) as a blood conservation intervention in pat...
