ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the endovascular treatment of diffuse aortoiliac occlusive diseases. Methods Thirty-two patients underwent endovascular treatment in which rest pain was found in 84.38%, foot local gangrene in 15.62%. Mean age was 69.7 years (range, 52 years to 81 years) and 71.9% was male. Trans Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus C and D disease was respectively in 40.6% and 59.4% patients. Mean length of vasculopathy was (14.6 ± 1.2) cm (range, 4.5 cm to 19.5 cm) All patients had prohibitive risk for open revascularization. With the approach from femoral artery or brachial artery, combined techniques, such as recanahzation, balloon dilation, stent placement and concomitant common femoral endarterectomy were used. Results Technical success was achieved in twenty-nine patients(90.63%). The complication rate was 3.45%. Clinical status was markedly improved in eight cases (27.59%) and moderately improved in twenty-one cases(72.41%). Mean postoperative ABI was 0.73 ± 0.12, mean preoperative ABI was 0.32 ± 0.09. Significant differences were seen between postoperative ABI and preoperative ABI(P<0.05). Mean time of follow-up was (13.9±6.2) months. At 6 months, primary patency was 81.82% and secondary patency was 89.09%. At 12 months, primary patency was 63.64% and secondary patency was 80.18%. Conclusion Combined multiple endovascular technique is a safe and effective method in the treatment of poor risk diffuse aortoiliac occlusive diseases.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of interventional therapy in the treatment of acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis.Methods A total of 20 patients with acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis was treated by interventional therapy from February 2004 to April 2006.Under the guidance of ultrasonography,intravenous thrombolysis through the popliteal vein combined with iliac vein stenting was employed.The venous patency was assessed with angiography.Results The catheter-based thrombolysis through the ipsilateral popliteal vein was effective for all the patients.Balloon dilatation angioplasty combined with endovascular stenting was applied in 15 patients,while balloon dilatation angioplasty alone was utilized in other 5 patients.The implantation of a temporary cava filter was required in 10 patients.After intravenous thrombolysis through the popliteal vein,the recanalization rate was 30%~90%(mean,55%) in the iliac vein and 40%~80%(mean,65%) in the femoral vein.Postoperative hematuria was encountered in 1 patient.No symptomatic embolism of pulmonary artery was seen.Postoperatively,clinical symptoms on the effected limb significantly subsided or completely disappeared.The hospitalization expenditure was 52 000~81 000 yuan(mean,74 000 yuan).Follow-up observations for 1~24 months(mean,12 months) were carried out in the 20 patients.The patency rate was 100%(15/15) in 15 patients receiving iliac vein stenting.Out of 5 patients with balloon dilatation,the iliac vein was completely obstructed in 2 patients and was recanalized by 10%~20% in 3 patients.Conclusions Catheter-based thrombolysis through the popliteal vein combined with endovascular stenting is an effective therapeutic strategy for acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis,but it is very expensive.
