Biography

Dr. Aina Kratovska is a distinguished interventional radiologist at Riga East University Hospital in Riga, Latvia, and serves as academic staff in the Department of Radiology at R?ga Stradi?š University. She holds the European Board of Interventional Radiology (EBIR) certification, obtained in Vienna, Austria, in 2019. Dr. Kratovska's clinical expertise encompasses minimally invasive procedures, including endovascular treatments and image-guided interventions. Her research interests focus on vascular interventions and gastrointestinal bleeding management. She has contributed to studies on preventive transarterial embolization in non-variceal gastrointestinal bleeding and the management of spontaneous isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection. Dr. Kratovska is also actively involved in medical education, mentoring radiology residents and contributing to the advancement of interventional radiology practices in Latvia. Dr. Kratovska's contributions have significantly advanced the field of interventional radiology, particularly in the management of complex vascular conditions and gastrointestinal emergencies.

  The Association between Infrageniculate Run-off Score and Selection of Revascularization Method in Patients with Critical Limb Ischemia and Long Segment Lesion of Popliteal Artery
  Author(s): Aina Kratovska*, Sanita Ponomarjova, Lilian Tzivian and Patricija Ivanova
  
  Background: Quantitative infrageniculate run-off scoring is not highlighted by guidelines of Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) management. Although not strictly declared, infrageniculate run-off plays an important role in revascularization method (open versus endovascular) selection. Aim: The aim of this study was to test the infrageniculate run-off scoring system proposed by authors and its association with the selection of the revascularization method in CLI patients with long femoropopliteal lesions involving popliteal artery P1-P2 segment. Materials and methods: Forty-seven patients with Infrageniculate Bypass Surgery (IGBS) and 36 with Endovascular Therapy (EVT) of long femoropopliteal segment were enrolled into single centre case-control study. Long atherosclerotic lesion of popliteal artery P1-P2 se.. View more»
