RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents 32% of all global deaths. Studies have shown an increase in CVD prevalence and mortality with the most substantial increase in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Within LMICs, we sought to 1) measure the burden of CVD with respect to aortic aneurysm (AA), ischemic stroke (IS), and peripheral arterial disease (PAD); 2) quantify surgical access to vascular surgery services; and 3) identify challenges and solutions to addressing disparities. METHODS: The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation Global Burden of Disease Results Tool was used to assess the global burden of CVD (AA, PAD, IS). Population data were extracted from the World Bank & Workforce data. A literature review was completed through PubMed. RESULTS: The number of deaths attributable to AA, PAD, and IS in LMICs increased by up to 102% between 1990 and 2019. Disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) lost to AA, PAD, and IS in LMICs also increased by up to 67%. High-income countries (HIC) had a less considerable increase in deaths and DALYs during this time period. There are 101 and 72.7 vascular surgeons per 10 million people in the United States and United Kingdom, respectively. LMICs, such as Morocco, Iran, and South Africa have 10 times less this number. Ethiopia has 0.25 vascular surgeons per 10 million people, 400 times less than the United States. Interventions addressing these global disparities should address infrastructure and financing, data collection and sharing, patient knowledge and beliefs, and workforce development. CONCLUSIONS: Extreme regional discrepancies are evidence at a global scale. Identifying mechanisms to expand the vascular surgical workforce to meet the increasing need for vascular surgical access is imminent.

RESUMO

Gun violence reached a 20-year peak in 2020, with the first-line treatment of axillosubclavian vascular injuries (SAVIs) remaining unknown. Traditional open exposure is difficult and exposes patients to iatrogenic venous and brachial plexus injury. The practice of endovascular treatment has been increasing. We performed a retrospective analysis of SAVIs at a level I trauma center. Seven patients were identified. Endovascular repair was performed in five patients. Technical success was 100%. The early results suggest that endovascular treatment of trauma-related SAVIs can be performed safely and effectively. However, complications such as stent thrombosis or occlusion can occur, demonstrating the need for surveillance.
