   Sammanfattning : Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common disease that is life threatening when rupture occurs. The aims of this thesis were to study (I) the long-term survival after AAA repair, (II) the cost of repair with open (OR) and endovascular (EVAR) technique, (III) the effect of different statistical methods on interpretation of cost data, (IV) the prevalence of the disease among patients with suspected arterial disease referred to the vascular laboratory, and (V) the cost-effectiveness of selective high-risk screening.

3. 2. On Surgical Treatment of Aortic Pathology

   Författare :Jacob Budtz-Lilly; Kevin Mani; Philip Goodney; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Abdominal aortic aneurysm; EVAR; F BEVAR; aorta dissection.;

   Sammanfattning : The use of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms has advanced from a premature characterization as a “failed experiment” in early 2000 to the predominant modern method of treatment. Technology has accommodated initial shortcomings, but it has also led to expansions in the treatment of ruptured aneurysms and complex aortic pathologies. LÄS MER

4. 3. Endovascular aortic aneurysm repair: Aspects of follow-up and complications

   Författare :Baderkhan Hassan; Kevin Mani; Anders Wanhainen; Martin Björck; Colin Bicknell; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; abdominal aortic aneurysm; EVAR; rEVAR surveillance; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Sammanfattning : Endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) is the procedure of choice in most patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm. The drawbacks of EVAR are a higher rate of complications and frequent need for reinterventions, requiring regular postoperative follow-up. LÄS MER

5. 4. Trauma - Diagnostics and Triage

   Författare :Fredrik Linder; Kevin Mani; Hampus Eklöf; Claes Juhlin; Martin Björck; Pål Aksel Naess; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; wounds and injuries; trauma; triage; whole body computed tomography in trauma; compliance; radiation exposure; CT; radiation safety; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Sammanfattning : Trauma is a leading cause of death worldwide and it reduces years of productive life and leads to disability. Effective trauma care relies on triage, which aims to ration the use of fine resources to patients with the greatest needs. LÄS MER

7. 5. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta : Physiology and clinical aspects of an emerging technique

   Författare :Mitra Sadeghi; Tal M. Hörer; Kristofer F. Nilsson; Per Skoog; Kjell Jansson; Kevin Mani; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; REBOA; trauma; hemorrhage; partial REBOA; Ischemia reperfusion injury; blood pressure titration; endtidal cabondioxide; traumatic inflammatory response;

   Sammanfattning : Traumatic hemorrhagic shock is a major cause of death worldwide. Patients enter the fatal triad of hypothermia, acidosis and coagulopathy and die quickly due to cardiovascular collapse. Ideally, procedures should be performed at the injury scene to prevent this fatal event. LÄS MER
