ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the curative effect of catheter thrombolysis in the treatment of subacute lower limb arterial occlusion.Methods Eighty-five patients with subacute lower limb arterial occlusion (98 limbs) and treated with catheter thrombolysis were enrolled and the removal of thrombus and patency of vessels were evaluated by angiography.Then,balloon dilatation or stent implantation was performed according to the angiographic findings after thrombolysis. Results After catheter thrombolysis, the degree and length of occlusion were significantly improved (P < 0.01). To judge the curative effect: significantly effective in 5 limbs (5.1%), effective in 85 limbs (86.7%), ineffective in 8 limbs(8.2%),total effective rate was 91.8%.Catheter thrombolysis combined with balloon dilatation and stent implantation were performed according the vascular occlusion status and all the occluded segments were open, the postoperative angiography showed no distal vascular occlusion. No bleeding occurred. Conclusions Catheter thrombolysis is effective and safe in the treatment of lower extremity arterial occlusion in subacute stage.Endovascular treatment combined with endovascular treatment can achieve good results.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of interventional embolization on hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) with hepatic arterioportal shunts(APS) ,in the hope of improving patients' survival quality and time. MethodsTwenty-nine patients with HCC patients and APS after a successful PVA,steel coils embolization, all patients were given routine TACE therapy. The changes of gastrointestinal bleeding,ascites,diarrhea and aminotransferase were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsNineteen cases got successful embolization in the first time[achievement ratio 65.5％(19/29)]; 3 cases got recurrence after embolization [patency ratio 10.3％(3/29)],7 cases appeared new APS[incidence ratio 24.1％(7/29),5 cases were embolized 2 times, 2 cases were embolized 3 times]. The effective rate of gastrointestinal bleeding,diarrhoea,aacites were 91.7％ (11/12), 84.6％ ( 11/13 ), 83.3％ ( 15/18 ) respectively, which had significant difference between preoperative and postoperative condition. The survival rate of 3 months,6 months, 1 year,and 2 years after operation were 96.6％ (28/29),89.7％ (26/29),65.5％ (19/29),34.5％ (10/29). Conclusion Interventional therapy is a safe and effective treatment to HCC with APS.
