24.01.2022 Dr Varcoe and his colleagues from the Vascular Institute at Prince of Wales publish the first ever experience using the Absorb BIORESORBABLE stent in human leg arteries. They found it to be as good as drug eluting metal stents at early follow-up with several other advantages. For further advice as to whether you may be a candidate for this ground breaking therapy contact Dr Varcoe's assistant on (02)9650-4947... https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ramon_Varcoe

19.01.2022 Diabetes and foot ulcer complications can lead to amputation. Amputation destroys the lives of those individuals and their families. Listen to Ida's story to better understand how we can prevent limb amputation. It's hard to believe that 4400 limb amputations still happen in Australia every year!

17.01.2022 Dr Varcoe and his colleagues publish an important dialysis access study in the European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery. See free access to the paper for the next 50 days at: http://authors.elsevier.com/a/1Qf713rFXlHfRl SYNOPSIS... Arteriovenous fistula stenosis from intimal hyperplasia imparts a significant burden of morbidity and cost upon our health care system. A new nitinol anastomotic device has shown promise at reducing complications. This study sought to evaluate arteriovenous fistulae followed up to 6 months in a sheep model. It examined both the volume of intimal hyperplasia that forms and the adjacent local cellular reaction and found a distinct advantage favouring the anastomotic clip. These results suggest that the nitinol U-Clip may have utility in reducing fistula complications in clinical practice. See more

Diabetic leg amputation can be eliminated. Help us to make this happen.
