Here is another claims study from Germany! @FLareyre @AAU_Thrombosis @VenerMa @EJVES_ESVS
We used a large nationwide unselected dataset including 22,637 individual people (42% women) who underwent either carotid endarterectomy (#CEA) or carotid artery stenting (#CAS) between 2008 and 2017 to determine 5 year mortality and stroke rates. Thereof, two third were asymptomatic and almost 80% underwent open surgical CEA. The current study found higher event rates in some subgroups than previously reported in landmark trials, raising questions about the applicability of trial data to everyday clinical practice.
The combined rate for any stroke & mortality at 1 year was 6.3% (#CEA of asymptomatic stenosis), 8.7% (#CAS of asymptomatic stenosis), and 12.5% (urgent #CAS of acute stroke patients). After 5 years, the overall stroke rate was 7.4% after #CEA and 9.0% after #CAS.
These striking results emphasised that we may want to dive into the reasons for differences between previous landmark trials and real world practice with special attention on patient selection and best medical treatment!

Up to 20% of patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia are not candidates for arterial revascularization. Transcatheter arterialization of the deep veins is a possible alternative approach. New research findings are summarized in a short video. nej.md/3KbRNpS

Don't use ChatGPT for academic research. It creates fake citations to papers that don't even exist.
Instead, use Scite Assistant — an AI-powered app designed for researchers.
It answers your questions with citations to (real) published papers.
Here's how to use it:

Should we train our own large language model (LLM) on domain-specific data from scratch?
Researchers at Bloomberg did just that and shared a detailed technical report describing the dataset, model configuration, and training procedure.

1/The call for a 6 month moratorium on making AI progress beyond GPT-4 is a terrible idea.
I'm seeing many new applications in education, healthcare, food, ... that'll help many people. Improving GPT-4 will help. Lets balance the huge value AI is creating vs. realistic risks.

Transcatheter arterialization of deep veins resulted in 6-month amputation-free survival in 66.1% of 105 patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia and no conventional options for treatment. Full results of PROMISE II study: nej.md/3KbRNpS

ALT Figure 1. Key Procedural Steps for Transcatheter Arterialization of the Deep Veins. The steps for transcatheter arterialization of the deep veins in the lower leg involve obtaining ultrasound-guided pedal vascular access (Panel A); advancing the needle into the mesh cage for establishment of arteriovenous crossing (the needle is in the arterial system and advances through the artery into the vein; the basket is in the vein) (Panel B); rendering venous valves incompetent with a push valvulotome (Panel C); deploying a straight covered stent at the level of the calcaneus (Panel D); and lining the vein with straight stents before placing a tapered, self-expanding, covered stent across the arteriovenous crossing to establish arterial blood flow in the venous system (Panel E).
