Background
Surgical skills and simulation courses are emerging to meet the demand for vascular simulation training for vascular surgical skills, but their educational effect has not yet been described. We sought to determine the effect of an intensive vascular surgical skills and simulation course on the procedural knowledge and self-rated procedural competence of vascular trainees and to assess participant feedback regarding the course.Methods
Participants underwent a 1.5-day course covering open and endovascular procedures on high-fidelity simulators and cadavers. Before and after the course, participants completed a written test that assessed procedural knowledge concerning index open vascular and endovascular procedures. Participants also assessed their own procedural competence in open and endovascular procedures on a 5-point Likert scale (1: no ability to perform, 5: performs independently). Scores before and after the course were compared among postgraduate year (PGY) 1-2 and PGY 3-7 trainees. Participants completed a survey to rate the relevance and realism of open and endovascular simulations.Results
Fifty-eight vascular integrated residents and vascular fellows (PGY 1-7) completed the course and all assessments. After course participation, procedural knowledge scores were significantly improved among PGY 1-2 residents (50% correct before vs 59% after; P < .0001) and PGY 3-7 residents (52% correct before vs 63% after; P = .003). Self-rated procedural competence was significantly improved among PGY 1-2 (2.2 ± 0.1 before vs 3.1 ± 0.1 after; P < .0001) and PGY 3-7 (3.0 ± 0.1 before vs 3.7 ± 0.1 after; P ≤ .0001). Self-rated procedural competence significantly improved for both endovascular (2.4 ± 0.1 before vs 3.3 ± 0.1 after; P < .0001) and open procedures (2.7 ± 0.1 before vs 3.5 ± 0.1 after; P < .0001). More than 93% of participants reported they were “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with the relevance and realism of the open and endovascular simulations. All participants reported they would recommend the course to other trainees.Conclusions
This intensive vascular surgical skills and simulation course improved procedural knowledge concerning index open vascular and endovascular procedures among PGY 1-2 and PGY 3-7 trainees. The course also improved self-rated procedural competence across all levels of training for open and endovascular procedures. Trainees rated the value of a surgical skills and simulation course highly. These results support strong consideration for the implementation of similar intensive simulation and surgical skills courses with ongoing objective assessment of their educational effect. 相似文献3.

Background
The decision to proceed with vascular surgical interventions requires evaluation of cardiac risk. Recently, several online risk calculators were created to predict outcomes and to lead to a more informed conversation between surgeons and patients. The objective of this study was to compare and further validate these online calculators with actual adverse cardiac outcomes at a single institution.Methods
All patients from January 2011 through December 2015 undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA), infrainguinal lower extremity bypass, open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair, and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) on the vascular surgical service were included using the Society for Vascular Surgery Vascular Quality Initiative database at our health system. Additional information was collected through retrospective chart review. Each patient was entered through three online risk calculators: (1) the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) estimates the risk of cardiac arrest and myocardial infarction (MI); (2) the Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) estimates risk of MI, pulmonary edema, ventricular fibrillation, primary cardiac arrest, and complete heart block; and (3) the Vascular Study Group of New England (VSGNE) Cardiac Risk Index estimates risk of postoperative MI only. Observed adverse cardiac events (ACEs) were compared with expected values for each calculator using a χ2 goodness-of-fit test. Institutional Review Board exemption was obtained.Results
A total of 856 cases were included: 350 CEAs, 210 infrainguinal bypasses, 77 open AAA repairs, and 219 EVARs. For CEA, no risk calculator showed statistically significant variation from the observed values (NSQIP, P = .45; RCRI, P = .17; VSGNE, P = .24). For infrainguinal bypass, NSQIP slightly underpredicted adverse events (P = .054), RCRI strongly underpredicted (P = .002), and VSGNE showed no difference (P = .42). For open AAA repair, NSQIP (P = .51) and VSGNE (P = .98) were adequate predictors, but RCRI strongly underpredicted the adverse events (P ≤ .0001). Finally, EVAR cardiac outcomes showed greater adverse events than predicted by all three calculators (NSQIP, P = .02; RCRI, P = .0002; and VSGNE, P = .025). Pooled data for the entire group documented that the VSGNE proved an accurate tool for prediction (P = .34), whereas ACEs were underpredicted by NSQIP (P = .0055) and RCRI (P ≤ .001).Conclusions
Although online cardiac risk calculators of adverse surgical events are easy to use and to reference in broad surgical decision-making, there is significant variability in their predictability at the procedure and institutional level. Our data suggest that ACEs often occur at a higher rate than expected on the basis of calculated risks profiles, thus creating a platform for future discussion about preoperative evaluation and postoperative care decision-making models. 相似文献5.

Introduction
Given the unknown biologic antecedents before aortic aneurysm rupture, the purpose of this study was to establish a reproducible model of aortic aneurysm rupture.Methods
We fed 7-week-old apolipoprotein E deficient mice a high-fat diet for 4 weeks and osmotic infusion pumps containing Angiotensin II were implanted. Angiotensin II was delivered continuously for 4 weeks at either 1,000?ng/kg/min (n?=?25) or 2,000?ng/kg/min (n?=?29). A third group (n?=?14) were given Angiotensin II at 2,000?ng/kg/min and 0.2% β-aminopropionitrile dissolved in drinking water. Surviving mice were killed 28 days after pump placement, aortic diameters were measured, and molecular analyses were performed.Results
Survival at 28 days was significantly different among groups with 80% survival in the 1,000?ng/kg/min group, 52% in the 2,000?ng/kg/min group, and only 14% in the Angiotensin II/β-aminopropionitrile group (P?=?.0001). Concordantly, rupture rates were statistically different among groups (8% versus 38% versus 79%, P?<?.0001). Rates of abdominal aortic aneurysm were 48%, 55%, and 93%, respectively, with statistically higher rates in the Angiotensin II/β-aminopropionitrile group compared with both the 1,000?ng and 2,000?ng Angiotensin II groups (P?=?.006 and P?=?.0165, respectively). Rates of thoracic aortic aneurysm formation were 12%, 52%, and 79% in the 3 groups with a statistically higher rate in the Angiotensin II/β-aminopropionitrile group compared with 1,000?ng group (P?<?.0001).Conclusions
A reproducible model of aortic aneurysm rupture was developed with a high incidence of abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysm. This model should enable further studies investigating the pathogenesis of aortic rupture, as well as allow for targeted strategies to prevent human aortic aneurysm rupture. 相似文献8.

A simplified technique of left ventricular assist device placement using Silastic sheeting attached to the presternal fascia and skin is described. This technique allows viewing of cardiac action and prevents cardiac compression by sternal closure. Removal of the assist device is simple because the sternum does not have to be reopened. 相似文献
