..Examination of the trials discussed here shows the importance, as much in vascular pathology as elsewhere, of founding our practice on evidence based medicine...

..Other vascular localisations should be screened for depending on the clinical symptomatology. The medico-economic value of an extensive systematic vascular work-up is, in effect, still only demonstrated for the stage of claudication...

..The purpose of this work was to evaluate morphological abnormalities on both post-stenotic and contralateral kidneys, by using spiral computed tomography angiography (CTA)...

..To evaluate the long-term results using the kissing stents technique for treatment of occlusive disease involving the aortoiliac bifurcation...

..This population frequently has hypertension refractory to medical treatment. The patients who may respond to revascularization or at the worst to a nephrectomy must be identified to optimize their therapeutic management...

....

..To evaluate the immediate and long-term results of fenestration in aortic dissection with acute malperfusion syndrome...

..Whether the management of hypertension by cardiologists in France differs according to patient gender has not been fully investigated...

..Ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM) is able to identify patients with masked hypertension (MH) underdetected by clinical BP measurement. The benefit of screening for MH in a high-risk population was investigated...

..To report the feasibility and midterm results of aortic bifurcation reconstruction in patients with small abdominal aortas using commercially available stents applied in a modified T-stenting technique adapted from coronary angioplasty...

..In practice, too many women and their physicians underestimate their real risk of cardiovascular accident. It is accordingly essential to develop new campaigns of information and prevention specifically for women...

..With hypertension and diabetes as frequent co-morbidities, patients with HFpEF are at risk of developing intra-renal vascular hemodynamic alterations that may lead to functional renal impairment and impact on prognosis...

..All were treated with a prolonged vitamin K antagonist and advised to wear elastic stockings. No precise duration of anticoagulation has been established...

..The morbidity and mortality rates reported in our series related to the preoperative morbid conditions of the patients treated. Thoracic aorta endografting is an alternative to open surgery in this subset of patients...

..When hypersecretion is unilateral or largely predominant in one size, surgery is very useful, when hypertension or hypokaliemia are poorly controlled, when medications are unwell tolerated, especially in men...

..One of the major public health issues for the coming years will be to focus more on risk factor recognition and management...

..5%. Thus, in spite of extensive diffusion of ANAES guidelines, we found that PCPs in France generally underestimated OCVR though there were no significant differences between male and female physicians (45% for FPCPs and 43.2% for MPCPs)...

..These management modalities might be useful to avoid the number of normal angiograms, with an inherent risk of complications and cost excess...

..This external validation obtained on a population with a high prevalence of RAS should also be tested on a population with a lower prevalence of SAR...

..To examine this issue, the Phenomen survey was conducted between January and July 2001 on 16358 patients suffering from hypertension followed by a general practitioner in France...

....

..Amlodipine (5 to 10 mg) once daily provides improved compliance, better 24-h BP control, and fewer adverse events than 20 mg nifedipine SR twice daily in patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension...

..The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of secondary hypertension in a population of refractory hypertension without initial clinical or biological findings suggesting identifiable causes of hypertension...

..In all cases, the control of associated risk factors is essential to maintain the success of revascularisation and slow down the progression of atheromatous disease...

..These results indicate that the possession of a self-measurement device contributes to the education of hypertensive patients...

..This case illustrates the high proportion of vascular (renal artery dysplasia, coarctation of the aorta) and endocrine (pheochromocytoma) causes of hypertension in patients with neurofibromatosis...

..CONCLUSION: endovascular treatment of isolated aortic lesions of the infra-renal aorta has favorable outcomes comparable to those of aortoiliac lesions...
