ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivo: Mostrar los resultados en el corto y mediano plazo del tratamiento endovascular de angioplastia transluminal percutánea (ATP) con balón en pacientes en estado de isquemia crítica por enfermedad arterial obstructiva infrapoplítea. Materiales y Método: Estudio descriptivo, observacional, retrospectivo. Se incluyeron los pacientes hospitalizados entre 2009 y 2018 por isquemia crítica Fontaine III o IV sometidos a una ATP del territorio infrapoplíteo. Se observó como objetivos primarios la preservación de la extremidad afectada y la mortalidad posoperatoria a un año plazo, y como objetivos secundarios los procedimientos adicionales en pacientes con lesiones o necrosis distales, estadía hospitalaria, complicaciones posoperatorias y necesidad de reintervención. Resultados: Se incluyeron 42 pacientes con un promedio de edad de 66 años (46-82), con importantes comorbilidades. Un 83,3% ingresó en etapa Fontaine IV. En 16 casos se realizó una angioplastia percutánea en más de una arteria. No se colocó stents. Se presentaron complicaciones en 3 pacientes, 2 requirieron una amputación mayor y en otro se debió efectuar un nuevo procedimiento endovascular de rescate. La estadía hospitalaria promedio fue 22 días. No hubo mortalidad precoz posprocedimiento. La mortalidad global a un año fue 9,5%. A todos los pacientes en etapa Fontaine IV se les efectuó algún procedimiento adicional, a 31 una amputación menor, 3 cerraron sus lesiones por segunda intención y en otro se realizó un injerto dermo-epidérmico. De los 35 pacientes con seguimiento, 77% preservó su extremidad a un año. Conclusión: La reparación endovascular mediante una angioplastia percutánea en estos casos es un procedimiento seguro y tiene una alta tasa de preservación de la extremidad inicial a un año de seguimiento.


Aim: Show initial and midterms results of endovascular Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) in critical limb isquemia (CLI) patients caused by below-the-knee arterial disease. Materials and Method: Observational, descriptive and retrospective study. 42 CLI patients admitted in our hospital from 2009 until 2018 with Fontaine III or IV treated by PTA in infrapopliteal arteries were analyzed, collecting demographic, clinical and surgical characteristics, additional procedures in Fontaine IV, hospital stay, postoperative complications, need of reintervention, limb preservation and mortality with one year follow-up after procedure. Results: 42 patients, average age 66 year-old (46-82), with significant comorbidities. Fontaine IV stage patients were 83.3%. In 16 cases more than one artery was intervened. No stent revascularization was performed. Complications occurred in 3 patients, 2 required major amputation and an urgent endovascular reintervention was required in another. Average hospital stay was 22 days with no post-operative mortality. One-year global mortality was 9.5 One-year follow-up in 35 patients shows that 77% preserved their limb. Conclusión: Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty procedure in this patients has a high rate of limb preservation in a one-year follow-up. There was no post-operative mortality.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The current study retrospectively evaluated whether the percutaneous N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) seal-off technique is an effective treatment for controlling the angioplasty-related ruptures, which are irresponsive to prolonged balloon tamponade, during interventions for failed or failing hemodialysis vascular accesses. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed 1588 interventions performed during a 2-year period for dysfunction and/or failed hemodialysis vascular access sites in 1569 patients. For the angioplasty-related ruptures, which could not be controlled with repeated prolonged balloon tamponade, the rupture sites were sealed off with an injection of a glue mixture (NBCA and lipiodol), via a needle/needle sheath to the rupture site, under a sonographic guidance. Technical success rate, complications and clinical success rate were reported. The post-seal-off primary and secondary functional patency rates were calculated by a survival analysis with the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: Twenty ruptures irresponsive to prolonged balloon tamponade occurred in 1588 interventions (1.3%). Two technical failures were noted; one was salvaged with a bailout stent-graft insertion and the other was lost after access embolization. Eighteen accesses (90.0%) were salvaged with the seal-off technique; of them, 16 ruptures were completely sealed off, and two lesions were controlled as acute pseudoaneurysms. Acute pseudoaneurysms were corrected with stentgraft insertion in one patient, and access ligation in the other. The most significant complication during the follow-up was delayed pseudoaneurysm, which occurred in 43.8% (7 of 16) of the completely sealed off accesses. Delayed pseudoaneurysms were treated with surgical revision (n = 2), access ligation (n = 2) and observation (n = 3). During the follow-up, despite the presence of pseudoaneurysms (acute = 1, delayed = 7), a high clinical success rate of 94.4% (17 of 18) was achieved, and they were utilized for hemodialysis at the mean of 411.0 days. The post-seal-off primary patency vs. secondary patency at 90, 180 and 360 days were 66.7 +/- 11.1% vs. 94.4 +/- 5.4%; 33.3 +/- 11.1% vs. 83.3 +/- 8.8%; and 13.3 +/- 8.5% vs. 63.3 +/- 12.1%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that the NBCA seal-off technique is effective for immediate control of a venous rupture irresponsive to prolonged balloon tamponade, during interventions for hemodialysis accesses. Both high technical and clinical success rates can be achieved. However, the treatment is not durable, and about 40% of the completely sealed off accesses are associated with developed delayed pseudoaneurysms in a 2-month of follow-up. Further repair of the vascular tear site, with surgery or stent-graft insertion, is often necessary.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To study the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of stent-assistant angioplasty (SAA) in the treatment of symptomatic vertebrobasilar artery stenosis in the elderly. METHODS: SAA was performed in 26 elderly patients with symptomatic vertebrobasilar artery stenosis. The success rate, perioperative complications, and long-term effectiveness were evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 29 balloon expandable stents were implanted in these patients. The success ratio was 100%. The degree of stenosis decreased from 81.3 ± 8.8% to 3.7 ± 3.6% (p < 0.01). Complications were absent during the perioperative period. Follow-up was performed for seven to 36 months (median: 21.9 months). Two patients developed the recurrent symptoms of vertebrobasilar artery stenosis, and no cerebral ischemic events were noted in the remaining patients, suggesting a favorable outcome. CONCLUSION: SAA is a safe and effective strategy for the treatment of symptomatic vertebrobasilar artery stenosis in the elderly.

ABSTRACT

El acceso vascular para el tratamiento endovascular de los aneurismas de aorta puede ser una limitante o una causa grave de morbilidad o mortalidad. La presunción, la posibilidad de realizarmaniobras adyuvantes o la combinación con cirugía abierta pueden ser determinantes al momento de planear o finalizar el procedimiento. Se describen una variedad de procedimientos utilizados para modificar la anatomía desfavorable de las arterias ilíacas. La angioplastía con dilatadores o balón, la utilización de ciertas guías y accesos o la realización de conductos pueden ser claves al momento de realizar la cirugía.


O acesso vascular para o tratamento endovascular dos aneurismas da aorta pode ser uma limitante ou uma causa grave de morbilidade ou mortalidade. Como presunção, a possibilidade derealizar manobras adjuvantes ou a combinação com cirurgia aberta podem ser determinantes no momento de planejar ou finalizar o procedimento. Descrevem-se uma variedade de procedimentos utilizados para modificar a anatomia desfavorável das artérias ilíacas. A angioplastia com dilatadores ou balão, a utilização de certas guias e acessos ou a realização de canais podem ser fundamentais no momento de realizar a cirurgia.


The vascular access in the treatment of aortic aneurysms may be a limiting factor or a severe cause of morbidity and mortality. The possibility of carrying out adjuvant procedures or combiningthem with open surgery may be determining factors at the moment of planning or completing the procedure. A series of procedures used to modify the unfavourable anatomy of the iliac arteries are here in described. Dilator or balloon angioplasty, the use of certain guidewires and routes of access or the carrying out of conduits may be key at the moment of carrying out the surgery.

ABSTRACT

La cardiopatía isquémica de origen ateroesclerótico tiene indicación de tratamiento farmacológico, de angioplastia con balón y colocación de stent coronario o la cirugía de revascularización. Evaluar la necesidad de stent coronario pospérdida tardía en la angioplastia con balón en pacientes con cardiopatía isquémica crónica. Se determinó la pérdida tardía posangioplastia con balón, en diferentes tiempos, con el ultrasonido coronario (IVUS) y angiográfico. Se estudiaron prospectivamente 21 pacientes con cardiopatía isquémica crónica ateroesclerótica (B2, C), en ASCARDIO, de febrero 2002 a julio 2008. Se realizó angiografía coronaria y IVUS. Se utilizó programa SPSS versión 15.0; para el análisis de datos: frecuencias, porcentajes, promedios, desviación estándar; t de Student, prueba de Wilcoxon (z), con 0,05 de significación estadística. Hubo predominio de género masculino, con 49 a 58 años. Como factores de riesgo: hipertensión arterial sistémica (85,7%), dislipidemia (80,9%), consumo de tabaco (47,6%), diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (38,1%). La arteria descendente anterior fue la más tratada. Se encontró lesión arterial coronaria B2 (47,6%), C (52,4%) con alta producción de disecciones posangioplastia con balón clase A (19,0%),B (33,3%), C (19,0%). Con incidencia de retroceso elástico de 29,5%. Todos requirieron Stent. El severo grado ateroesclerótico de las lesiones coronarias de 21 pacientes explicaría el alto grado de complicaciones posterior a la angioplastia con balón y el alto porcentaje de retroceso elástico hallado. Se evidencia la utilidad del uso del IVUS para la obtención de un mejor diagnóstico y cuantificación de la lesión, escogencia del tamaño del stent e impactación adecuada en el vaso coronario.


Ischemic heart disease of atherosclerotic origin is an indication for drug treatment, balloon angioplasty and coronary stenting or bypass surgery. To evaluate the need forcoronary stent use for late loss following balloon angioplasty in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease. Llate loss was determined post-balloon angioplasty, at different times, with coronary ultrasound(IVUS) and angiography. We prospectively studied 21 patients with chronic atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (B2,C), ASCARDIO, from February 2002 to July 2008. We performed coronary angiography and IVUS. We used SPSS version 15.0, fordata analysis: frequencies, percentages, averages, standard deviation,Student t test, Wilcoxon test (z), with 0.05 statistical significance.There was a male predominance, from 49 to 58 years ofage. Risk factors: systemic hypertension (85.7%), dyslipidaemia(80.9%), tobacco use (47.6%), and Type 2 diabetes (38.1 %). The anterior descending artery was treated the most. The following coronary arterial lesions were found: B2 (47.6%), C (52.4%) witha high occurrence of dissections post-balloon angioplasty class A(19,0%), B (33.3%), C (19.0%). The incidence of elastic recoilwas 29.5%. All required stents. The degree of severe atherosclerotic coronary lesions in 21 patients explains the high rate of complications after balloon angioplasty and the high percentage of elastic recoil found. This study demonstrates the utility of using IVUS to obtain a better diagnosis, quantification of the injury, choice of stent size and proper implantation in the coronary vessel.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: A neoproliferação intimal e o remodelamento têm sido implicados como os maiores fatores causadores de reestenose. O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar a ação da L-arginina por via oral, nesses dois fatores, após lesão por balão, em artérias ilíacas de coelhos hipercolesterolêmicos. MÉTODOS: Foram utilizados dezenove coelhos, que foram divididos em dois grupos: controle (GC) e arginina (GA), respectivamente com dezenove e dezessete artérias estudadas. Os animais foram submetidos a lesão por balão de angioplastia, em suas artérias ilíacas, quinze dias após início de dieta hipercolesterolêmica a 2 por cento. A seguir, os animais do GA passaram a receber uma solução de L-arginina, por via oral, na dose de 1 g/kg/dia. Após o sacrifício, no 15° dia após a lesão por balão, procedeu-se a cortes histológicos das artérias, as quais foram coradas e fixadas. Utilizou-se como representativa do desenvolvimento da lesão a razão da área da neoíntima (em mm²) pela camada média (em mm²). Por sua vez, a razão da área total do vaso em sua porção medial (de maior contato com o balão) pela área total do vaso no segmento referencial (de menor contato com o balão) foi a definidora do remodelamento. RESULTADOS: A média do espessamento neointimal (NI/M) foi de 0,8151±0,2201 no GC e de 0,3296±0,1133 no GA. Não houve diferença entre os tipos de remodelamento entre os dois grupos estudados. CONCLUSÃO: No modelo experimental utilizado, a L-arginina foi capaz de reduzir o espessamento intimal em coelhos hipercolesterolêmicos e não teve ação sobre o remodelamento arterial.


OBJECTIVE: It has been implied that neointimal proliferation and remodeling are the major causes of restenosis. The objective of this study is to assess the effect of orally administered L-arginine on these two factors in hypercholesterolemic rabbits that had suffered an injury to their iliac arteries caused by a catheter balloon. METHODS: The study included nineteen rabbits that were divided in two groups: control (CG) and arginine (AG). There were 19 arteries studied from the control group and 17 in the arginine group. The animals were placed on a 2 percent hypercholesterolemic diet for 15 days and then submitted to a balloon angioplasty in order to produce a lesion in their iliac arteries. Next, the AG animals were given a 1g/kg/day oral dose of a L-arginine solution. The animals were sacrificed 15 days after the angioplasty procedure and histological artery sections were prepared, stained and fixed. The ratio between the neointimal area (in mm²) and the media layer (in mm²) was used to represent lesion development. In order to determine remodeling, the ratio between the total area of the medial portion of the vessel (greater balloon contact) and the total area of the reference segment of the vessel (less balloon contact) was used. RESULTS: Mean neointimal thickness (NI/M) was 0.8151±0.2201 in CG and 0.3296±0.1133 in AG. Remodeling patterns for the two groups studied were similar. CONCLUSION: In the experimental model used, L-arginine was able to reduce intimal tissue thickness in hypercholesterolemic rabbits but did not act on artery remodeling.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Descrever os eventos adversos ocorridos durante e após angioplastia coronária (ATC), possivelmente relacionados ao reuso de produtos médico-hospitalares, além de quantificar e identificar os motivos de descarte em relação ao primeiro uso e ao reuso. MÉTODO: Foram estudados 60 pacientes, sendo que 29 (48,3 por cento) apresentavam angina instável, 27 (45 por cento) IAM e quatro (6,7 por cento) outros diagnósticos. Durante o procedimento e na permanência na Unidade Intensiva Coronariana, atentou-se à possibilidade de ocorrência dos eventos adversos febre, hipertensão, hipotensão, calafrios, sudorese, sangramento, náuseas e vômitos. Foram avaliados sete produtos médico-hospitalares: introdutor, cateter-guia, fio-guia 0.35, fio-guia 0.014, cateter- balão para angioplastia, seringa com manômetro para insuflar balão (indeflator) e torneira de três vias (manifold). No total de produtos (76 de primeiro uso e 410 reprocessados), verificou-se se houve descarte e se isto ocorreu antes ou durante o procedimento e quais os motivos para tanto. Utilizou-se o teste Qui Quadrado, admitindo-se erro alfa de 5 por cento. RESULTADOS: Vinte e seis pacientes apresentaram eventos adversos. A hipotensão foi o evento mais prevalente e ocorreu em 11(18,3 por cento) casos. Não houve, porém, significância estatística entre o evento adverso hipotensão e reuso ou não dos produtos médico-hospitalares. Por não estarem íntegros, foram descartados três produtos de primeiro uso e 55 produtos dos reutilizados. CONCLUSÃO: Os eventos adversos apresentados pelos pacientes submetidos à angioplastia não estão associados ao reuso dos produtos médico-hospitalares. A integridade e funcionalidade foram os motivos principais de descarte.


OBJECTIVE: To describe the adverse effects that occur during and after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) possibly related to the reuse of medical equipment. An additional objective is to quantify and identify the reasons of discard in respect to the brand-new and reuse of medical equipment. METHOD: Sixty patients were studied (48.3 percent with unstable angina, 45 percent with acute myocardial infarction and 6.7 percent with other diagnoses). During the procedure and stay in the Intensive Coronary Unit, the occurrence of fever, hypotension or hypertension, chills, sudoresis, bleeding, nausea and vomits were observed. Seven products were evaluated: catheter introducer, catheter guides (0.35 and 0.014), catheter balloons for angioplasty, indeflators and manifolds. In total, 76 brand-new and 410 reused apparatuses were studied to verify the occurrence of discard, whether this happened before or during the procedure and for what reasons. P-values < 0.05 were considered signicant. RESULTS: Twenty-six patients presented adverse effects. Hypotension was the most common seen in 11(18.3 percent) cases. There was no significant association between this adverse effect and reuse or not of the equipment. Three brand-new products and 55 of the reused products were discarded as they were incomplete. CONCLUSION: The adverse effects presented by patients submitted to coronary vessel angioplasty were not associated to the reuse of the medical equipment. The integrity and functionality were the main reasons of discard.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Analisar, por meio da morfometria digital, o espessamento intimal das artérias ilíacas comuns (AIC) de suínos, submetidas à angioplastia e à angioplastia seguida do implante de stent. MÉTODOS: Em dez suínos, foi realizada a angioplastia da AIC bilateral, seguida do implante do stent na AIC esquerda. Após quatro semanas, o segmento aorto-ilíaco foi retirado. As lâminas histológicas foram divididas em três grupos: segmento proximal (grupo 1) e distal (grupo 2) do local de implante do stent na AIC esquerda e a área da angioplastia da AIC direita (grupo 3). As imagens das lâminas foram digitalizadas e analisadas por programa de morfometria com cálculo das áreas luminal, da camada íntima e da camada média dos cortes histológicos. A análise estatística foi realizada através de média e desvio padrão das áreas em cada grupo, utilizando ANOVA, com teste Post-Hoc LSD (p<0,05). RESULTADOS: Na análise das médias das áreas obtidas, foi encontrada diferença estatisticamente significativa quanto à camada íntima dos grupos 1 e 2, quando comparados ao grupo 3 e em relação à camada média dos grupos 1 e 2 quando comparados ao grupo 3 e não se observou diferença significativa nas médias das áreas luminais dos três grupos. CONCLUSÃO: A angioplastia seguida do implante do stent gerou um espessamento intimal maior do que aquele produzido apenas pela angioplastia, porém, a área da camada média apresentou-se diminuída nos grupos "angioplastia + stent"; a luz arterial não apresentou diferença entre estes grupos.

ABSTRACT

Balloon angioplasty of long coronary stenoses has been reported to be associated with a lower rate of acute clinical and procedural success and a higher rate of restenosis compared to short lesions. Intracoronary stenting has been shown to reduce restenosis, however, instent restenosis remains a major clinical problem despite improved stent flexibility and wall coverage and operator experience. The purpose of this study was to identify clinical, angiographic, and procedural predictors of restenosis after coronary stent placement in lesions longer than 15 millimeter. We analyzed the 6 month angiographic outcome of 378 patients [420 lesions]. All patients with successful coronary stent deployment and 6 month follow up were eligible for this study. Quantitative coronary coronary angiography [QCA] and intravascular ultrasound [IVUS] analyses were obtained immediately after stent deployment, and QCA at 6 months follow up. Restenosis was observed in 33.3% of lesions. By univariate analysis, stent length, number of stents per patient and per lesion, final IVUS lumen cross sectional area [CSA], and patients with multivessel disease were identified as the potential predictors of restenosis. Multivariate analysis identified final lumen CSA [OR= 0.85;95% CI=0.74-0.98, p=0.031] and stent length [OR=1.04;95% CI= 1.02-106, p=0.0001] as the only independent predictors of restenosis. Coronary stenting is associated with acceptable restenosis rate in this highly vulnerable cohort of lesions. Achieving an optimal final stent lumen CSA, and minimizing stent length as possible may help to reduce incidence of restenosis in this high risk group of lesions

ABSTRACT

Mais informações são necessárias para definir se o tratamento percutâneo da coartação da aorta com stents é superior à angioplastia com cateter-balão. De julho de 2000 a maio de 2003, 21 adolescentes e adultos com coartação da aorta focal e média de idade de 24 anos (DP 11 anos) foram submetidos, consecutivamente, a implante de stents (grupo 1). Os resultados foram comparados com os obtidos em um grupo histórico de 15 pacientes com média de idade de 18 anos (DP 10 anos) (p = 0,103) submetidos a angioplastia (grupo 2) nos últimos 18 anos. Após o procedimento, a redução do gradiente sistólico foi maior (99% [DP 2%] versus 87% [DP 17%]; p = 0,015), o gradiente residual foi menor (0,4 mmHg [DP 1,4 mmHg] versus 5,9 mmHg [DP 7,9 mmHg]; p = 0,019), o ganho no local da coartação foi maior (333% [DP 172%] "versus" 190% [DP 104%]; p = 0,007) e o diâmetro da coartação foi maior (16,9 mm [DP 2,9 mm] versus 12,9 mm [DP 3,2 mm]; p < 0,001) no grupo 1. Alterações da parede da aorta, incluindo dissecções, abaulamentos e aneurismas, foram observadas em oito pacientes do grupo 2 (53%) e em um do grupo 1 (7%) (p < 0,001). Não houve complicações maiores. Cateterismo (n = 33) ou ressonância magnética (n = 2) de controle foram realizados em seguimento mediano de um ano para o grupo 1 e um ano e meio para o grupo 2 (p = 0,005). A redução do gradiente sistólico persistiu em ambos os grupos; entretanto, gradientes tardios mais altos foram observados no grupo 2 (mediana de 0 mmHg para o grupo 1 versus 3 mmHg para o grupo 2; p = 0,014). Não houve perdas no diâmetro da coartação no grupo 1 e houve ganho tardio no grupo 2 (16,7 mm [DP 2,9 mm] versus 14,6 mm [DP 3,9 mm]; p = 0,075). No grupo 1, dois pacientes necessitaram de novo implante de stent em decorrência da formação de aneurisma ou fratura da malha do stent. No grupo 2, as anormalidades da parede aórtica não progrediram e um paciente necessitou de redilatação em decorrência da recoartação. A pressão arterial sistêmica...


More information is needed to define whether stenting is superior to balloon angioplasty for coarctation of the aorta. From July/2000 to May/2003, 21 adolescents and adults with discrete coarctation underwent consecutive stent implantation at a mean age of 24 years (SD 11 years) (group 1). The results were compared to those achieved by balloon angioplasty performed in the last 18 years in a historical group of 15 patients at a mean age of 18 years (SD 10 years) (p = 0.103) (group 2). After the procedure, systolic gradient reduction was higher (99% [SD 2%] vs. 87% [SD 17%]; p = 0.015), residual gradients lower (0.4 mmHg [SD 1.4 mmHg] vs. 5.9 mmHg [SD 7.9 mmHg); p = 0.019), gain at the coarctation site higher (333% [SD 172%] vs. 190% [SD 104%]; p = 0.007) and coarctation diameter larger (16.9 mm [SD 2.9 mm] vs.12.9 mm [SD 3.2 mm]; p < 0.001) in group 1. Aortic wall abnormalities, including dissections, bulges and aneurysms, were observed in eight patients in group 2 (53%) and in one in group 1 (7%) (p < 0.001). There was no major complication. Repeat catheterization (n = 33) or magnetic resonance imaging (n = 2) was performed at a median follow-up of 1.0 year for group 1 and 1.5 year for group 2 (p = 0.005). Gradient reduction persisted in both groups, although higher late gradients were observed in group 2 (median of 0 mmHg for group 1 vs. 3 mmHg for group 2; p = 0.014). There was no late loss in the coarctation diameter in group 1 and there was a late gain in group 2 (16.7 mm [SD 2.9 mm] for group 1 vs. 14.6 mm [SD 3.9 mm] for group 2; p = 0.075). Two patients required late stenting due to aneurysm formation or stent fracture in group 1. Aortic wall abnormalities did not progress and one patient required redilation due to recoarctation in group 2. Blood pressure was similar in both groups at follow-up (systolic: 126 mmHg [SD 12 mmHg] in group 1 vs. 120 mmHg [SD 15 mmHg] in group 2; diastolic: 81 mmHg...

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Embora a revisão cirúrgica seja o tratamento tradicionalmente utilizado em lesões estenóticas, a angioplastia transluminal tem-se mostrado uma alternativa menos invasiva para o tratamento dessas lesões. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar os resultados de perviedade obtidos após a angioplastia transluminal de lesões estenóticas pós-operatórias.Método: Foram estudadas prospectivamente 19 angioplastias transluminais realizadas em 16 pacientes com lesões estenóticas diagnosticadas no trajeto do enxerto e consideradas adequadas para a realização do procedimento. As variáveis analisadas foram: tempo de pós-operatório; método diagnóstico; características da estenose; método para realização da angioplastia; sucesso imediato do procedimento; complicações; perviedade em médio prazo.Resultados: A análise das 19 lesões estenóticas favoráveis à angioplastia evidenciou que o tempo médio de pós-operatório foi de 10,26 meses; o eco-Doppler colorido foi o responsável pelo diagnóstico em 68,4 por cento dos casos, todos assintomáticos. Os sítio de angioplastia transluminal foram: corpo do enxerto(terço proximal e terço distal); anastomose distal; anastomose proximal;artéria ilíaca(leito proximal); e leito distal. Após 15 meses, 15 dos 16 pacientes (93,75 por cento) evoluíram sem sintomas isquêmicos. Foram alcançados índices de perviedade primária de 78,9 por cento, de perviedade assistida de 94 por cento, e de salvamento de membro de 100 por cento.Conclusão: A angioplastia transluminal representa um método alternativo e menos invasivo para a manutenção da perviedade e salvamento de membro nos pacientes submetidos à revascularização de membros inferiores...

ABSTRACT

Em 1977, Andreas Grüntzig introduziu a técnica de abordagem não-cirúrgica para o tratamento da doença arterial coronária, conhecia como angioplastia transluminal coronária percutânea. Posteriormente, com o acúmulo de experiência nesse campo, foram detectadas algumas limitações do método representadas principalmente, por quatro aspectos: morfologias de alta complexidade, estenoses residuais acime de 30%, oclusão aguda do vaso-alvo e reestenose coronária, que pela prevalência e consequências que acarreta, talvez represente o evento mais adverso na evolução da revascularização percutânea...

ABSTRACT

Estudos experimentais e em humanos o balão de angioplastia pode levar à estenose pela migração e proliferação das células musculares lisas e a síntese de matriz extracelular. Estudos têm mostrado a ação da braquiterapia contra esses mecanismos. Nós desenhamos este estudo para avaliar a inibição do tecido de proliferação pelo Samário-153(153Sm). Quarenta e três coelhos hipercolesterolêmicos foram submetidos à lesão de ambas artérias ilíacas e separados em três grupos: com a dose de 15 Gy (n=14), com 60 Gy (n=36) e controle (n=36). A análise histológica morfométrica mostrou significante redução da neo-íntima com 15 Gy, quando comparado com os outros grupos. A dose de 60 Gy teve modificações estruturais e tissulares sugestivas de radiolesão.As previous demonstrated by experimental and human models, balloon dilation during angioplasty could lead to injury and stenosis due to smooth muscle cell migration and proliferation as well as extracellular matrix synthesis. Brachytherapy has been usefull against these factors. We pourposed was this study to evaluate neointimal tissue proliferation inhibition by Samarium-153 (153 Sm). Forty-three hypercholesterolemic rabbits underwent balloon injury in their both iliac arteries. They were separated into three groups: throught 15 Gy irradiation doses (n=14), 60 Gy (n=36) and control group (n= 36). Histopathologic and morphometric analysis showed a significant neointimal reduction with 15 Gy, comparing to others groups to control and 60 Gy dosis. The 60 y doses determined structure and tissue changes as the ones of radiation lesion...

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To compare circulating plasma levels of immunoinflammatory markers in patients with known de novo coronary artery disease and patients with postangioplasty restenosis. METHODS: Using enzymatic immunoabsorbent assay, we measured plasma levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptosr, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and soluble tumor necrosis alpha receptors I and II in 11 patients with restenosis postcoronary angioplasty (restenosis group), in 10 patients with primary atherosclerosis (de novo group) who were referred for coronary angiography because of stable or unstable angina, and in 9 healthy volunteers (control group). Levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptors were significantly higher in the de novo group compared with that in the restenosis and control groups. Levels were also higher in the restenosis group compared with that in the control group. Plasma levels of tumor necrosis alpha and receptor levels were significantly higher in the de novo group compared to with that in the restenosis and control groups, but levels in the restenosis group were not different from that in the controls. CONCLUSION: Coronary artery disease, either primary or secondary to restenosis, is associated with significant immunoinflammatory activity, which can be assessed by examining the extent of circulating plasma levels of inflammatory markers. Moreover, patients with de novo lesions appear to have increased inflammatory activity compared with patients with restenosis

ABSTRACT

A angioplastia transluminal coronariana foi desenvolvida por Gruetzig na década de 70 para tratar lesões coronarianas, ateroscleróticas, utilizando um catéter de lúmen duplo com balão com distensão na ponta. Apesar de segura e eficaz, a angioplastia criou um fenômeno iatrogênico novo: a restenose, um estreitamento progressivo e lento da luz coronária, relacionada à cicatrização no local da dilatação.Os mecanismos envolvidos na estenose incluem o remodelamento negativo e um processo exuberante com proliferação celular neo-intimal e síntese de matriz extracelular. O implante dos stents pode minimizar o remodelamento dos vasos tratados, e estudos clínicos demonstratram uma diminuição significativa na taxa de reestenose...
