ABSTRACT

Abstract The SAFARI technique or Subintimal Arterial Flossing with Antegrade-Retrograde Intervention is an endovascular procedure that allows recanalization of Chronic Total Occlusive (CTO) lesions when conventional subintimal angioplasty is unsuccessful. Retrograde access is usually obtained through the popliteal, anterior tibial, dorsalis pedis artery, or posterior tibial arteries and may potentially provide more options for endovascular interventions in limb salvage. The case of an 81-year-old man with a history of uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia is presented. He presented with a cutaneous ulcer on the right lower limb with torpid evolution and poor healing. The Doppler ultrasound and arteriographic study revealed a CTO lesion of the popliteal artery that was not a candidate for antegrade endovascular revascularization, but was successfully treated using the SAFARI technique. The patient had no perioperative complications, the wound showed better healing, and he was discharged with an indication of daily dressings and control by an external outpatient clinic.


Resumo A técnica SAFARI, ou Subintimal Arterial Flossing with Antegrade-Retrograde Intervention, é um procedimento endovascular que permite a recanalização de lesões por oclusão total crônica (OTC) em caso de fracasso da angioplastia subintimal convencional. O acesso retrógrado é geralmente obtido através da artéria poplítea, tibial anterior, pediosa ou tibial posterior e pode fornecer mais alternativas de intervenções endovasculares para o salvamento do membro. É apresentado o caso de um homem de 81 anos com histórico de hipertenção não controlada, diabetes melito e dislipidemia. Ele apresentava uma lesão ulcerativa cutânea no membro inferior direito com evolução tórpida e má cicatrização. O ultrassom Doppler e o estudo arteriográfico revelaram uma lesão por OTC na artéria poplítea. O paciente não era candidato a revascularização endovascular anterógrada; sendo assim, esta foi realizada com successo utilizando a técnica SAFARI. O paciente não apresentou complicações perioperatórias e recebeu alta com indicação de cuidados diários com a ferida e controle em um ambulatório externo. Além disso, a ferida apresentou melhor cicatrização.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Os aprisionamentos vasculares são raros. Nos membros inferiores, geralmente são assintomáticos, mas podem causar claudicação intermitente atípica em indivíduos jovens sem fatores de risco para aterosclerose ou doenças inflamatórias. O vaso mais frequentemente acometido é a artéria poplítea, causando a síndrome do aprisionamento da artéria poplítea (SAAP), com sintomas na região dos músculos infrapatelares. Quando o desconforto ao esforço é mais distal, deve-se pensar em outros locais de aprisionamento arterial, como a artéria tibial anterior. Neste trabalho, é relatado o caso de um paciente com claudicação intermitente nos pés devido ao aprisionamento da artéria tibial anterior (AATA) bilateral, causado pelo retináculo dos músculos extensores e diagnosticado pela ultrassonografia vascular e angiotomografia durante flexão plantar. O paciente foi tratado cirurgicamente, evoluindo com melhora dos sintomas clínicos.


Abstract Vascular entrapment is rare. In the lower limbs it is generally asymptomatic, but may cause atypical intermittent claudication in young people without risk factors for atherosclerosis and inflammatory diseases. The most common type of compression involves the popliteal artery, causing symptoms in the region of the infra-patellar muscles. When discomfort is more distal, other entrapment points should be considered, such as the anterior tibial artery. This article reports the case of a patient with intermittent claudication in both feet due to extrinsic compression of the anterior tibial artery bilaterally by the extensor retinaculum of the ankle, diagnosed by vascular ultrasonography and angiotomography during plantar flexion maneuvers. The patient was treated surgically, resulting in improvement of clinical symptoms.

ABSTRACT

Fibularis brevis grafts have been extensively used, especially as distally-based grafts, to cover defects in the lower leg and foot. The study has contributed to analyze the blood supply of the fibularis brevis muscle and the vascular basis of its possible different grafts. Both legs of twelve preserved cadavers, without congenital vascular anomalies, were utilized in the study. Fibularis brevis was exposed in all selected legs along with the verification of different arterial pedicles. The total means and standard deviations of the length and width of the muscle together with diameters of major vessels were calculated. Total length and width of middle portion of fibularis brevis were at means of 28.7±0.4 cm and 3±0.02 cm respectively. The upper and middle portions of the muscle were supplied by the fibular and the anterior tibial artery. The middle portion was supplemented by the upper perforating branch of the posterior tibial artery. The lower portion of the muscle was supplied by the lower perforating branch of the posterior tibial and the periosteal arteries. The muscle could be used as a proximally or distally based flap, free vascularized muscle graft, free vascularized osteo-muscular flap, and distally-based split flap. It can be split completely into two flaps; each of which can be used as a proximally or distally.


Los injertos de músculo fibularis brevis son usados ampliamente, especialmente como injertos de base distal, para cubrir defectos en la parte inferior de la pierna y el pie. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el suministro de sangre del músculo fibularis brevis y la base vascular de los posibles diferentes injertos. Para el estudio se utilizaron ambas piernas de 12 cadáveres preservados, sin anomalías vasculares congénitas. El músculo fibularis brevis fue encontrado en todas las piernas junto con los diferentes pedículos arteriales. Se calcularon las medias totales y las desviaciones estándar de la longitud y el ancho del músculo, junto con los diámetros de los vasos principales. La longitud y el ancho totales de la porción media del músculo fibularis brevis fueron de 28,7±0,4 cm y 3±0,02 cm, respectivamente. Las partes superior y media del músculo estaban suplidas vascularmente por la arteria fibular y la arteria tibial anterior. La parte media se complementó con la rama perforante superior de la arteria tibial posterior. La parte inferior del músculo fue suplida por una rama perforante inferior de la arteria tibial posterior y las arterias periósticas. El músculo podría usarse como un colgajo de base proximal o distal, injerto de músculo vascularizado libre, colgajo osteomuscular vascularizado libre y colgajo dividido distal. Se puede dividir por completo en dos colgajos; cada uno de estos puede ser utilizado como proximal o distal.

ABSTRACT

Vascular injuries of the lower limb, especially from penetrating gunshot wounds, and peripheral arterial diseases are on the increase and management of these and many other lower limb injuries involve increasing usage of vascular interventions like by-pass surgery, per-cutaneous transluminal angioplasty, arterial cannulation, arterial bypass graft or minimally invasive measures like percutaneous trans-arterial catheterization, among others. A thorough knowledge of infrapopliteal branching most especially their pathways and luminal diameters are important to surgeons in selecting appropriate surgical interventions or procedures. We report the case in which one of the 3 terminal branches of the popliteal artery (PPA), the anterior tibial artery (ATA) of good caliber size at origin became hypoplastic in the anterior leg region after giving off numerous muscular branches. Continuing as an almost attenuated dorsalis pedis artery (aDPA) in the dorsum of the foot, the latter was reinforced by an enlarged hypertrophied fibular artery. This case illustrates yet the importance of the fibular artery as the dominant of the 3 infrapopliteal branching arteries, reinforcing or replacing the posterior tibial artery (PTA) when it is weak or absent by a strong communicating branch or, reinforcing a weak ATA and dorsalis pedis artery (DPA) by a strong perforating fibular artery as being reported. The PTA however travelled a normal course yielding the medial and lateral plantar arteries posterior to the abductor hallucis muscle. This case demonstrates the importance of collateral communications and reinforcements from other infrapopliteal arteries, whenever one of its members or subsequent branches are absent or hypoplastic. A very sound knowledge of the various branching patterns of the PPA can be gained via pre-operatively vascular angiography, designed to guide the surgeon in the selection of appropriate surgical interventions, adding value to patients care in helping to reduce iatrogenic surgical vascular complications and reduction in total number of limb loss.


Las lesiones vasculares de los miembros inferiores, especialmente las heridas penetrantes por arma de fuego y enfermedades arteriales periféricas, están en aumento. Su manejo, así como el de otras lesiones en los miembros inferiores, implican un mayor uso de intervenciones vasculares como la cirugía de by-pass, angioplastía transluminal percutánea, canulación arterial, injerto de derivación arterial o medidas mínimamente invasivas como el cateterismo transarterial percutáneo, entre otros. El conocimiento profundo de las ramificaciones infrapoplíteas, muy especialmente sus vías y diámetros luminales son importantes para los cirujanos en la selección de las intervenciones o procedimientos quirúrgicos apropiados. Presentamos un caso en el cual, una de las 3 ramas terminales de la arteria poplítea (APP), la arteria tibial anterior (ATA), de buen calibre en su origen se hizo hipoplásica en la región anterior de la pierna después de un desprendimiento de numerosas ramas musculares. Continuó como una arteria dorsal del pie (ADP) casi atenuada en el dorso del pie; esta última se vio reforzada por una amplia arteria fibular hipertrofiada. Este caso ilustra la importancia de la arteria fibular como dominante de las 3 ramificaciones de las arterias infrapoplíteas, un refuerzo o sustitución de la arteria tibial posterior (ATP) cuando es débil o está ausente, por una fuerte rama comunicante, o bien refuerzo de una débil ATA y ADP por una fuerte arteria fibular perforante como en el caso reportado. La ATP sin embargo tenía un trayecto con un curso normal generando las arterias plantares medial y lateral, posterior al músculo abductor del hállux. Este caso demuestra la importancia de las comunicaciones colaterales y refuerzos de otras arterias infrapoplíteas, cada vez que uno de sus componentes o ramas posteriores están ausentes o hipoplásicas. Un conocimiento detallado de los diferentes patrones de ramificación de la APP puede ser adquirido a través de una angiografía vascular previo a la cirugía, diseñada para guiar al cirujano en la selección de las intervenciones quirúrgicas adecuadas, agrega valor a la atención de los pacientes, ayuda a disminuir las complicaciones vasculares quirúrgicas iatrogénicas y reduce el número total de pérdidas de miembros inferiores.

ABSTRACT

Arterial variations of distal parts of lower limb are well documented. However, continuation of fibular artery as dorsalis pedis artery is a rare finding. Unusual course and distribution of the anterior tibial artery and fibular artery were observed during routine anatomical dissection of the right lower limb of an approximately 40-year-old male cadaver. The arteries of the crural region arose from the popliteal artery, as usual. However the anterior tibial artery was hypoplastic. The fibular artery was larger than usual and crossed the lowest portion of the interosseous membrane and continued as dorsalis pedis artery. Posterior tibial artery had a normal course and distally divided into medial and lateral plantar arteries. The awareness of these variations is important to vascular surgeons while performing arterial reconstructions in femorodistal bypass graft procedures, and also to orthopaedic surgeons during surgical clubfoot release.


Las variaciones arteriales de las partes distales de los miembros inferiores están bien documentados. Sin embargo, la continuación de la arteria fibular como arteria dorsal del pie es un hallazgo raro. El curso y distribución inusual de la arteria tibial anterior y la arteria fibular se observaron durante la disección anatómica de rutina en el miembro inferior derecho del cadáver de un hombre de aproximadamente 40 años de edad. Las arterias de la región crural se originaron desde la arteria poplítea como es usual. Sin embargo, la arteria tibial anterior era hipoplásica. La arteria fibular era más grande de lo habitual, cruzó la porción más baja de la membrana interósea y se mantuvo como la arteria dorsal del pie. La arteria tibial posterior tuvo un curso normal; distalmente se dividió en las arterias plantares medial y lateral. El conocimiento de estas variaciones es importante para los cirujanos vasculares al realizar reconstrucciones arteriales en procedimientos de injerto de bypass femorodistal, y también para los cirujanos ortopédicos durante la liberación quirúrgica del pie zambo.

ABSTRACT

The importance of the tibialis anterior muscle in infantile orthopedic transposition surgeries, as in myelomemngoceles, it bases this research about the neurovascular pedicles of the tibialis anterior muscle. The study was conducted on 34 legs of human cadavers that were one year old or younger at the time of death. It was observed that the tibialis anterior muscle most frequently presented from 7 to 10 arterial branches (52.4 percent). In 97.1 percent of cases these branches were derived from the anterior tibial artery. In one case the anterior tibial artery was missing and the muscle was supplied by the fibular artery. Thirty-nine and seven tenths percent of arterial branches entered the superior third of the muscle; the middle third received 40.1 percent of the branches and the inferior third received 20.2 percent of the branches. The deep fibular nerve exclusively supplied the innervation, which in91.2 percent of cases, gave off from 2 to 4 branches to the muscle, mainly to the superior (46.2 percent) and middle third (43.0 percent). Most frequently, there were two neurovascular pedicles supplying the superior third and one supplying the middle third.


La importancia del músculo tibial anterior en cirugías de transposición ortopédica en niños, así como en casos de mielomeningocele, fundamenta su estudio respecto a sus pedículos neurovasculares. El estudio se realizó en 34 miembros inferiores de cadáveres de niños de un año o menos de edad. Se observó que el músculo tibial anterior presentaba con frecuencia 7 a 10 ramas arteriales (52,4 por ciento). En 97,1 por ciento de los casos estos ramos eran derivados de la arteria tibial anterior. En dos casos, la arteria tibial anterior estaba ausente y el músculo suplió su irrigación con la arteria fibular. En relación a la entrada de las ramas, 39,7 por ciento lo hacen en el tercio superior del músculo. El tercio medio recibe 40,1 por ciento de las ramas y el tercio inferior recibe 20,2 por ciento de ellas. El nervio fibular profundo es la fuente principal de inervación, en 91,2 por ciento de los casos provee 2 a 4 ramos para el músculo, de ellos el 46,2 por ciento termina en el tercio superior y el 43 por ciento en el tercio medio. Con mayor frecuencia, existen dos pedículos neurovasculares supliendo el tercio superior y uno supliendo el tercio medio del músculo tibial anterior.
