Background

We sought to systematically review the available literature on limb dysfunction after transradial or transfemoral cardiac catheterization.

Methods & Results
MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched for studies evaluating any transradial or... Read More about Incidence and clinical course of limb dysfunction post cardiac catheterization: a systematic review.

(2018). Progress in clinical research in surgery and IDEAL. Lancet, 88-94. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736%2818%2930102-8

The quality of clinical research in surgery has long attracted criticism. High-quality randomised trials have proved difficult to undertake in surgery, and many surgical treatments have therefore been adopted without adequate supporting evidence of e...

BJS Open, 2(4), 162 - 174. https://doi.org/10.1002/bjs5.53

Background: The clinical effectiveness of treating ipsilateral multifocal (MF) and multicentric (MC) breast cancers using breast-conserving surgery (BCS) compared with the standard of mastectomy is uncertain. Inconsistencies relate to definitions, in... Read More about Systematic review of the impact of breast-conserving surgery on cancer outcomes of multiple ipsilateral breast cancers..

Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, 11(5), https://doi.org/10.1161/circoutcomes.117.004482

Background: Transradial access (TRA) for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with a reduced risk of mortality compared with transfemoral access, access site–related bleeding complications, and shorter length of stay. The budget imp... Read More about Health economic analysis of access site practice in England during changes in practice: Insights from the British Cardiovascular Interventional Society.

Intraoperative identification of the spinal accessory nerve (SAN) is key in reducing nerve injury. This study aims to explore the surgical anatomy of the SAN and 2 landmarks for its identification—the sternocleidomastoid branch of the occipital arter...
