ABSTRACT
Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the practicability and efficiency of iFlow assistant function in lower extremity vascular disease angioplasty.Methods Retrospective analysis to 22 patients with lower extremity vascular disease in our single center from Septmber 2013 to November 2013, 19 males and 3 females with mean age(66.31 ± 7.46)years, iFlow technology was utilized to analyze the Region Of Interest(ROI) Peak Time(PeakTime) in pre-and post-angioplasty of lower extremity artery and assessed the state of vessel stenosis and blood flow perfusion, as well Doppler ultrasound in postoperative was used to double identify iFlow results.The results of vessel lesion, such as state of stenosis and occlusion were diagnosed by two senior doctors individually, as well as ROI Peak Time was recorded by technician.Results The iFlow technique performed that the ROI PeakTime in the region of interest was significantly decreased in postoperative in comparison to pre-angioplasty [(0.48 ± 0.39) s vs.(1.32 ± 0.60) s, t =8.836, P ＜ 0.001].The Doppler ultrasound in postoperative showed that the ankle-brachial index was significantly increased compared within preoperative (0.97 ± 0.16 vs.0.49 ± 0.11, t =-10.205, P ＜ 0.001).The results of iFlow technique in intraoperative were consistent with those of Doppler ultrasound in postoperative.Conclusion iFlow technique is effective to evaluate hemodynamic change of blood flow in vessel lesion in pre-and postangioplasty, which is assistive technique to assess the efficiency and prognosis in angioplasty.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influencing factors involved in the long-term effect after interventional treatment of diabetic lower extremity vascular disease.Methods The data of 358 diabetic patients with lower extremity vascular disease were collected retrospectively.The ankle-brachial index (ABI) values at the 6th, 12th and 24th month after interventional treatment were documented and the factors may influence ABI value werc analyzed.Results Single factor analysis showed that after 24 months treatment, the proportion of ABI＜0.5 (severe ischemia) in the patients combined with obesity, smoking, older age were 15.0％ (31/206), 18.4％ (25/136) , 12.1％(19/157) ,7.5％(15/200) ,while non obesity,younger age,no smoking,no hypertension were 6.6％ (10/152), 14.8％ (33/222), 6.5％ (13/201), 1.9％ (3/158), and the differences were significant (P ＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that old age (OR =1.341,95％ CI: 1.281-1.496, P =0.045), smoking(OR=2.301,95％ CI: 1.903-4.844,P=0.028) and obesity(OR=1.299,95％ CI: 1.270-1.588,P =0.038) were the independent factors influence the long-term therapeutic effects on diabetic lower extremity vascular disease.Conclusion Obesity, smoking, old age are the main factors influence the long-term therapeutic effects on diabetic lower extremity vascular disease.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the risk factors for lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (LEPAD) in elderly patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods To detect ankle brachial index (ABI) of 356 elderly patients with T2DM,and analyze whether risk factors had correlation with ABI.Results We found that age,systolic blood pressure,HbAlc,2-hours post-prandial (2hpp) plasma glucose had inverse correlation,yet 2hpp C-peptide plasma level,2-hpp insulin level had positive correlation with ABI by bivariate correlation test.Conclusions Age,systolic blood pressure,2hpp plasma glucose,2hpp C-peptide plasma level,2hpp insulin level were related with lower extremity arterial disease in the elderly with T2DM,among which age was the most important risk factor for LEPAD.
ABSTRACT
Objective To probe therapeutic effect of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation on diabetic lower extremity vascular disease and its association with serum level of HGF.Methods 79 diabetic lower extremity vascular disease cases was divided into regular treated group (group A):40 cases,80 affected limbs;autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation treated group (group B):39 cases,78 affected limbs.And the therapeutic effect as well as serum level of HGF was evaluated after 6-month treatment.Results (1)After one-week treatment,there was significant statistically with limb pain,cold feeling of affected limbs,skin temperature,serum level of HGF among group B compared with pretreatment and group A(P
