ABSTRACT

Resumo A artéria femoral profunda, devido às suas características anatômicas, se encontra protegida da maioria dos traumatismos vasculares. Relatamos um caso de pseudoaneurisma de ramo perfurante da artéria femoral profunda, associado à fístula arteriovenosa, secundário a rotura completa do músculo vasto medial em paciente jogador de futebol. A ressonância magnética demonstrou lesão muscular associada a pseudoaneurisma, e a angiotomografia confirmou a presença de pseudoaneurisma associado a fístula arteriovenosa de ramo da artéria femoral profunda. Foi realizado tratamento endovascular da fístula através da embolização com micromolas fibradas e drenagem cirúrgica do hematoma muscular. O paciente evoluiu bem, sem queixas clínicas no 30º dia de pós-operatório e também após 1 ano.


Abstract Due to its anatomical characteristics, the deep femoral artery is protected from most vascular injuries. We report a case of a soccer player with pseudoaneurysm of a perforating branch of the deep femoral artery, associated with an arteriovenous fistula and secondary to complete rupture of the vastus medialis muscle. Magnetic resonance imaging showed muscle damage associated with a pseudoaneurysm and angiotomography confirmed the presence of a pseudoaneurysm associated with a deep arteriovenous fistula of a branch of the deep femoral artery. Endovascular treatment of the fistula was performed by embolization with fibrous microcoils and surgical drainage of the muscle hematoma. The patient recovered well, was free from clinical complaints on the 30th postoperative day and also after 1 year.

ABSTRACT

El pseudoaneurisma se puede definir como un hematoma pulsátil repermeabilizado y encapsulado, en comunicación con la luz de un vaso dañado. Los pseudoaneurismas de las extremidades son los más frecuentes; entre ellos se destacan los iatrogénicos de la arteria femoral. Su incidencia es del 2 por ciento-8 por ciento cuando se realizan angioplastia/stent coronarios y del 0,2 por ciento-0,5 por ciento cuando únicamente se hace angiografía diagnóstica. Se presenta un paciente con diagnóstico de pseudoaneurisma femoral derecho posterior a un cateterismo cardíaco, con el objetivo de demostrar la importancia del diagnóstico temprano de las pseudaeurismas para el tratamiento quirúrgico oportuno y evitar complicaciones posteriores. Al mes del procedimiento, el paciente comenzó con aumento de volumen en la región inguinal derecha y a la auscultación se apreció un soplo a ese nivel. Se le realizó exérisis del pseudoaneurisma y reparación quirúrgica de la arteria femoral. En las consultas de evaluación posoperatoria se mostró una evolución clínica y radiológica satisfactoria. El diagnóstico rápido de estas entidades vasculares evita que se presenten complicaciones posteriores y aseguran una evolución rápida y satisfactoria de los pacientes que la padecen(AU)


Pseudoaneurysm can be defined as a repermeabilized and encapsulated pulsatile hematoma, in communication with the light of a damaged vessel. Pseudoaneurysms of the limbs are the most frequent; among them are the iatrogenic of the femoral artery. Its incidence is 2 percent -8 percent when coronary angioplasty/stent is performed and 0.2 percent-0.5 percent when only diagnostic angiography is performed. A patient with a diagnosis of right femoral pseudoaneurysm after cardiac catheterization is presented, with the aim of demonstrating the importance of early diagnosis of pseudoaneurysms for timely surgical treatment and avoiding subsequent complications. A month after the procedure, the patient began with an increase in volume in the right inguinal region and auscultation showed a murmur at that level. Pseudoaneurysm exeresis and surgical repair of the femoral artery were performed. In the postoperative evaluation consultations, a satisfactory clinical and radiological evolution was shown. The rapid diagnosis of these vascular entities prevents subsequent complications from occurring and ensures a rapid and satisfactory evolution of patients who suffer from it(AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivo: Evaluar la efectividad obtenida con la compresión ecoguiada como primera elección para lograr la trombosis del pseudoaneurisma iatrogénico post estudio o intervencionismo. Material y Método: Estudio retrospectivo observacional de 9 pacientes en quienes se realizó la compresión ecoguiada como primera alternativa de manejo frente a pseudoaneurismas iatrogénicos secundarios a procedimientos diagnósticos o terapéuticos ocurridos entre agosto de 2012 y diciembre de 2015 en el Hospital Regional de Talca. Resultados: De 4.070 procedimientos se presentó la complicación en 9 pacientes, un 0,22%; 7 posterior a procedimientos terapéuticos (0,4%), y 2 en el grupo de diagnósticos (0,08%). La muestra se compone por 6 hombres y 3 mujeres de edad promedio 70 años. El vaso comprometido fue principalmente la arteria femoral con un 77%. Los pseudoaneurismas ocurrieron mayoritariamente posteriores a procedimientos terapéuticos (77%); y el éxito de la compresión ecoguiada se obtuvo en el 67%. No hubo complicaciones asociadas al tratamiento. Conclusiones: La compresión ecoguiada tiene un porcentaje de éxito menor en esta pequeña serie que los obtenidos por otros autores, pero al no presentar complicaciones y por su bajo costo creemos debe mantenerse como primera alternativa.


Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness obtained with echo guided compression as the first choice to achieve thrombosis of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm after study or interventionism. Material and Method: Retrospective observational study of 9 patients who underwent echo-guided compression as the first management alternative to iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms following diagnostic or therapeutic procedures that occurred between August 2012 and December 2015 at the Regional Hospital of Talca. Results: Of 4,070 procedures the complication was presented in 9 patients, 0.22%; 7 after therapeutic procedures (0.4%), and 2 in the diagnostic group (0.08%). The sample consists of 6 men and 3 women of average age 70 years. The involved vessel was mainly the femoral artery with 77%. Pseudoaneurysms occurred mostly after therapeutic procedures (77%); and the success of the echogenic compression was obtained in 67%. There were no complications associated with treatment. Conclusions : Image guided compression has a lower success rate in this small series than those obtained by other authors, but since there are no complications and because of its low cost, we believe that it should be kept as the first alternative.

ABSTRACT

Bullet embolization of the arterial or venous systems is a rare complication of penetrating gunshot injuries. A 29-year­old man presented at the emergency department with a gunshot wound to the left arm, which had transfixed the arm and entered the thorax, with no exit wound. Initial radiographies showed a projectile in the upper left thigh. Contrast­enhanced tomography showed a pseudo-aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta and the bullet inside the proximal left superficial femoral artery. Physical examination found diminished left pedal pulses, and the patient complained of left toe numbness. Endovascular thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm repair was performed, sealing the descending aortic orifice with an endograft, and thromboembolectomy/bullet retrieval was carried out via a left femoral incision, both successfully. Considering that diagnosis of missile emboli depends on a high degree of suspicion, physicians who manage gunshot wound patients must be acutely aware of the possibility of intravascular bullet embolism


A embolia balística pelo sistema arterial ou venoso é uma complicação rara de ferimentos penetrantes por arma de fogo. Um homem de 29 anos se apresentou na emergência com um ferimento por arma de fogo no braço esquerdo, que transfixou o braço e atingiu o tórax, sem ferimento de saída. Radiografias iniciais mostraram o projétil na coxa superior esquerda. A tomografia contrastada mostrou um pseudoaneurisma da aorta torácica descendente e o projétil no interior da artéria femoral superficial proximal esquerda. Ao exame físico, o pulso pedioso esquerdo estava diminuído e o paciente referiu dormência no hálux esquerdo. Foi realizado o reparo endovascular da aorta torácica e a tromboembolectomia/retirada do projétil por incisão femoral esquerda, ambos bem-sucedidos. Considerando que o diagnóstico de embolia balística depende de um alto grau de suspeição, os médicos que manejam pacientes com ferimentos por arma de fogo devem estar atentos a essa possibilidade

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is a very frequently seen condition in orthopedics centers worldwide. Even in successfully treated cases, complications related either with the pathology per se or with the chosen synthesis method are not rare. This report presents a case of bilateral slipped capital femoral epiphysis treated with pinning, in which one of the limbs developed a very rare condition: the formation of a femoral pseudoaneurysm that ruptured.


RESUMO A epifisiólise proximal da cabeça femoral é uma patologia frequentemente tratada em centros de ortopedia. Mesmo nos casos de tratamento bem-sucedido, complicações relacionadas tanto ao fenômeno em si quanto à síntese escolhida não são raras. Os autores relatam um caso de epifisiólise da cabeça femoral bilateral, submetido a pinagem, que evoluiu com uma complicação raríssima em um dos membros: a formação de um pseudoaneurisma femoral, com posterior rotura.

ABSTRACT

Se presenta un paciente con lesión vascular iatrogénica de la arteria circunfleja femoral externa luego de una artroplastia total de cadera. Después de la intervención, el paciente presentó anemia importante en repetidas ocasiones con dolor en el muslo y requirió cirugía para evacuar un hematoma. Sin embargo, la angiografía por tomografía computarizada realizada en dos ocasiones fue negativa para sangrado activo. Finalmente se diagnosticó lesión de esta arteria mediante arteriografía, y el paciente fue sometido a cirugía endovascular. Destacamos la importancia del cuidado en la manipulación del miembro intervenido y los objetos usados. Así mismo, la sospecha y los medios diagnósticos adecuados son fundamentales, ya que, ante una clínica poco definida, pruebas comunes negativas y la ausencia de un sangrado activo importante, puede pasar inadvertida una lesión vascular que pone en riesgo la vida del paciente si no se resuelve. También se pone de relevancia el avance en el tratamiento de estas lesiones mediante las técnicas endovasculares que reducen la morbimortalidad respecto a las técnicas clásicas de cirugía abierta. Nivel de Evidencia: IV


We present a patient with iatrogenic vascular lesion of the external circumflex femoral artery following a total hip arthroplasty. After surgery the patient presented important anemia in repeated occasions, with thigh pain requiring evacuation of the hematoma. Nevertheless two angio-CTs were negative for active bleeding. Finally the lesion was diagnosed by arteriography, and it was treated with endovascular surgery. We emphasize the importance of the care during the manipulation of the limb and the objects used. We also explain how the diagnosis was suspected even though the commonly used diagnostic tools did not reveal the diagnosis, and there was no active bleeding, increasing the chances of overcoming the diagnosis of a lesion that is potentially life threatening if it is not resolved. We also highlight the advances in the treatment of these lesions with endovascular techniques, which reduce morbidity and mortality when compared with the classic open surgery. Level of Evidence: IV

ABSTRACT

Introducción: el manejo adecuado del trauma vascular es uno de los aspectos más difíciles en la asistencia al paciente politraumatizado. Las lesiones de vasos periféricos tienen un potencial de ocasionar morbimortalidad si no se reconocen o tratan inmediatamente. Objetivo: describir las experiencias en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de las lesiones vasculares, a partir de las características de los pacientes para el enriquecimiento del conocimiento en la asistencia medica. Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo de los pacientes atendidos con traumatismo vascular durante el período de junio de 2005 a diciembre de 2008, en un país de la región asiática. Los resultados se expresan en tablas de porcentajes, para las variables correspondientes a la etiología, topografía de las lesiones, técnicas quirúrgicas utilizadas y resultados del tratamiento. Resultados: se atendieron 46 pacientes con 57 lesiones vasculares, todos hombres menores de 45 años. De ellas el 52,6 se localizaron en los miembros inferiores y la arteria femoral superficial fue la más dañada, con un 19,2 por ciento del total. Se logró conservar la extremidad en el 95,7 por ciento de los pacientes atendidos. Conclusiones: los hombres menores de 45 años y heridos por arma de fuego, fueron más afectados, así como los vasos de miembros inferiores con poca diferencia respecto a los de miembros superiores(AU)

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Vascular traumas are associated with high morbidity rates.OBJECTIVE: To report the characteristics of vascular traumas in the Brazilian state of Pará, in trauma victims treated at the Hospital Metropolitano de Urgência e Emergência (HMUE), from 2011 to 2013.METHOD: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective and quantitative study that analyzed data on sex, age group, geographical origin, time waiting for care, mechanism of trauma, clinical status, anatomic site of injury, prevalence of associated fractures, vascular structures injured, types of vascular injury, principal types of surgery, early postoperative outcomes, level of amputation, number of deaths, length of hospital stay and multidisciplinary care for 264 medical records.RESULTS: The majority of victims were male and the most common age group was from 16 to 30 years. The majority of cases were from towns other than the state capital, accounting for 169 cases (64.02%). The principal mechanism of injury was firearm wounding - 110 (41.67%) followed by cold weapon wounds - 65 (24.62%) and traffic accidents - 42 (15.91%). The segments of the body and the vascular structures most often injured were lower limbs - 120 (45.45%) and injuries to the popliteal and femoral arteries and veins. The most common clinical presentation at admission was hemorrhage - 154 (58.33%). The most common surgeries were ligatures of veins and arteries. There were 163 (61.74%) hospital discharges and 33 (12.5%) deaths.CONCLUSIONS: The greatest prevalence observed was related to traumas caused by urban violence. Victims were most frequently male, of working age and from towns other than the capital of the state of Pará.


CONTEXTO: Os traumatismos vasculares estão relacionados a altas taxas de morbidade. OBJETIVO: Caracterizar o traumatismo vascular no Estado do Pará, em vítimas atendidas no Hospital Metropolitano de Urgência e Emergência (HMUE), no período de 2011 a 2013. MÉTODO: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, transversal, retrospectivo, quantitativo, que analisou: sexo, faixa etária, procedência, tempo de espera pelo atendimento, mecanismo de trauma, quadro clínico, região anatômica acometida, prevalência de fraturas associadas, estrutura vascular, tipos de lesão vascular, principais tipos de cirurgias, evolução do pós-operatório, nível de amputação, número de óbitos, tempo de internação e atendimento multiprofissional, dentre 264 prontuários.RESULTADOS: A maioria das vítimas foi do sexo masculino e a faixa etária mais acometida foi entre 16 a 30 anos. A maioria dos casos foi procedente de fora da capital, perfazendo 169 casos (64,02%). O principal mecanismo de lesão foi por arma de fogo - 110 (41,67%), seguido por arma branca - 65 (24,62%) e acidente de trânsito - 42 (15,91%). O segmento corporal e as estruturas vasculares mais acometidas foram os membros inferiores - 120 (45,45%), com lesões de artéria e veia poplítea e femoral. Durante a admissão, o quadro clínico mais frequente foi a hemorragia - 154 (58,33%). As ligaduras de veias e artérias foram as cirurgias mais frequentes. Houve 163 (61,74%) altas e 33 (12,5%) óbitos.CONCLUSÃO: A maior prevalência encontrada foi referente a traumas decorrentes da violência urbana, sendo também frequente o acometimento de indivíduos do sexo masculino, em idade produtiva e não procedentes da capital do Estado do Pará.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Estudos demonstram que o acesso via artéria radial diminui o risco de complicações vasculares e hemorrágicas associadas à intervenção coronária percutânea. Nosso objetivo foi avaliar os resultados hospitalares da utilização da via radial em pacientes idosos submetidos à intervenção coronária percutânea. Métodos: Registro prospectivo, que incluiu pacientes ≥ 70 anos, tendo sido comparados os desfechos de segurança e de eficácia entre os grupos tratados pelas vias radial e femoral. Resultados: Incluímos 225 pacientes, sendo 117 (52%) tratados por via radial e 108 por via femoral. À exceção da idade, as demais características clínicas não mostraram diferenças entre os grupos. Predominaram os pacientes do sexo masculino (60%), 36,7% eram diabéticos e mais de um terço foi tratado na vigência de quadro de síndrome coronária aguda. As variáveis angiográficas e do procedimento não mostraram diferenças entre os grupos. Na comparação das taxas de complicações vasculares, somente os hematomas < 5 cm (5,1% vs. 17,6%; p < 0,01) foram mais prevalentes no acesso femoral. Sangramentos maiores, pelo critério ACUITY (zero vs. 5,6%; p = 0,01), e menores, pelo critério TIMI (zero vs. 7,4%; p < 0,01), também foram mais frequentes no grupo femoral. Os desfechos clínicos hospitalares óbito (0,9% vs. 5,6%; p = 0,06) e infarto não fatal (zero vs. 3,7%; p = 0,05) incidiram mais frequentemente nos pacientes tratados por via femoral. Conclusões: Em uma população não selecionada de pacientes com idade ≥ 70 anos, a intervenção coronária percutânea por via radial esteve associada à menor incidência de desfechos clínicos hospitalares...


Background: Studies demonstrate that radial artery access reduces the risk of vascular and bleeding complications associated to percutaneous coronary intervention. Our objective was to evaluate in-hospital results of the transradial approach in elderly patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods: Prospective registry including patient's ≥ 70 years of age; safety and efficacy endpoints were compared for the radial and femoral artery access groups. Results: We included 255 patients, 117 (52%) treated using the radial approach and 108 using the femoral approach. Except for age, the remaining clinical characteristics did not show differences between groups. Male patients prevailed (60%), 36.7% were diabetic and over one third were diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome. Angiographic and procedure-related variables did not show differences between groups. When vascular complication rates were compared only hematomas < 5 cm (5.1% vs. 17.6%; p < 0.01) were more prevalent with the femoral access. Major bleedings, according to the ACUITY criteria (zero vs. 5.6%; p = 0.01) and minor bleedings, according to the TIMI criteria (zero vs. 7.4%; p < 0.01), were also more frequent in the femoral group. In-hospital clinical endpoints, death (0.9% vs. 5.6%; p = 0.06) and non-fatal infarction (zero vs. 3.7%; p = 0.05) were more frequent in patients treated by the femoral access. Conclusions: In a non-selected patient population ≥ 70 years of age, percutaneous coronary intervention by radial access was associated to a lower incidence of in-hospital clinical endpoints, especially of bleeding events related to the vascular access route...

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A utilização da via radial para a realização de cateterismo cardíaco diagnóstico e intervenção coronária percutânea varia entre os diversos centros de hemodinâmica. Descrevemos as tendências do uso dessa via de acesso ao longo dos últimos 14 anos num serviço terciário. Métodos: Foram identificados procedimentos coronarianos consecutivos realizados de 1999 a 2013, em um único centro, em pacientes com idade ≥ 35 anos. Dados como idade, sexo, fonte provedora de recursos (Sistema de Saúde Público ou Saúde Suplementar/Privado) e complexidade do procedimento (diagnóstico ou terapêutico) foram retrospectivamente analisados. Resultados: Foram incluídos 103.253 procedimentos, dos quais o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) foi o provedor de recursos em 77% dos casos. A média de idades dos pacientes foi 62,2 ± 11,3 e 58,8% eram do sexo masculino. A via radial foi utilizada em 6.402 (6,2%) dos procedimentos, apresentando ascensão significativa ao longo do tempo, mais evidente quando analisada comparativamente nos seis períodos de experiência do serviço: 0,2%, 0,6%, 3,1%, 2,1%, 6,9% e 24,4%, respectivamente (p < 0,01). Porcentuais ainda maiores do uso da via radial foram encontrados, restringindo-se aos procedimentos realizados pelo SUS e quando apenas os cateterismos cardíacos diagnósticos foram contabilizados. Houve também mudança no perfil da via de acesso, ainda que de menor monta, no setor de Saúde Suplementar/Privado. Conclusões: Demonstramos a progressiva modificação do perfil de utilização das vias de acesso para a realização de cateterismo cardíaco diagnóstico e intervenção coronária percutânea de um centro de grande porte ao longo do tempo. Esses dados são condizentes...


Background: The use of the radial approach for diagnostic cardiac catheterization and percutaneous coronary interventions varies among different interventional cardiology centers in the world. We describe the trends in the use of this approach over the past 14 years at a tertiary hospital. Methods: Consecutive coronary procedures performed from 1999 to 2013 at a single center, in patients aged ≥ 35 years were identified. Age, gender, resource provider (Public or Private Healthcare System) and the complexity of the procedure (diagnostic or therapeutic) were retrospectively analyzed. Results: 103,253 procedures were included. The Brazilian Public Healthcare Service (SUS - Sistema Único de Saúde) was the resource provider in 77% of the cases. Mean age of patients was 62.2 ± 11.3 years and 58% were male. The radial approach was used in 6,402 (6.2%) procedures, showing a significant rise over time, which was more evident when analyzed comparatively for the six timepoints of service experience: 0.2%; 0.6%; 3.1%; 2.1%; 6.9%, and 24.4% respectively (p < 0.01). Even larger percentages of radial approach were observed when only the procedures performed by the SUS and diagnostic cardiac catheterizations were taken into account. There were also changes in the profile of vascular access, even though smaller, in the Private Healthcare System. Conclusions: We demonstrated progressive changes in the profile of the use of access routes for diagnostic cardiac catheterization and percutaneous coronary interventions at a large center over time. These data are consistent with the global trend and are significantly robust, especially when the last sextile is analyzed...

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: evaluación de la permeabilidad de los stents de Nitinol autoexpandibles extra largos(> 120 mm de longitud) en lesiones de arteria femoral superficial TASC II B-C, a los 6, 12, 24 y 36 meses post implante.Pacientes y Métodos: Entre junio de 2007 y diciembre de 2008, fueron tratados 7 miembros inferiores en 6 pacientes con lesiones de arteria femoral superficial tipo TASC II B-C mediante stents extra largos auto expandibles. Utilizamos stents autoexpandibles de Nitinol de 120-140 mm largo (Large SMART CONTROL) (Cordis). Utilizamos la vía percutánea ipsilateral anterógrada y, en aquellos pacientes que presentaron enfermedad de la cámara femoral, realizamos tratamiento hibrido: endarterectomía femoral, angioplastia con balón y colocación de stent. Se realizó elseguimiento mediante Ecodoppler y Rx de miembro inferior a los 6, 12, 24 y 36 meses post implante. Resultados: Se intervino a 5 pacientes del sexo femenino (84%) con un promedio de edad de 74 años +/- 5; 1 paciente de sexo masculino (16%) cuya edad fue de 60 años. 3 procedimientos fueron por vía percutánea ipsilateral anterógrada. Se realizaron 4 procedimientos híbridos (endarterectomía cámara femoral, angioplastia con balón y colocación de stent). La permeabilidad inicial fue del 100%, permeabilidad a los 6 meses: 100% de los casos, permeabilidad a los 12 meses: 86% de los casos, permeabilidad a los 24 meses: 86% de los casos con detección de Reestenosisen una paciente del 60%, siendo asintomática, permeabilidad a los 36 meses: 72 % de los casos. No se observaron fracturas de stent durante el estudio. Conclusiones: El stent largo de (> 120 mm longitud) es un buen instrumento para el tratamientode lesiones tipo TASC II B-C, comparables con la cirugía convencional, los cirujanos vascularesdeben conocer y aplicar todas las técnicas disponibles (cirugía, bioingeniería, endovascular, etc.) al tratar enfermedad arterial periférica encontrando la mejor opción para cada paciente...

Objetives: Evaluation of self-expanding large nitinol (> 120mm) stents patency in the treatments of TASC II B-C of SFA lesions at 6, 12 , 24 and 36 months after implantation. Patients and Methods: Between June 2007 to December 2008, we have treated 7 legs in 6 patients with TASC II B-C of Superficial Femoral Artery lesions with large nitinol stent, SMART (Cordis). The procedures was with percutaneous ipsilateral antegrade approach and when the patients had femoral common disease had made hybrid approach (open femoral endarterectomy+ balloon angioplasty & stent placement). We used nitinol stents of 120-140 mm large (Large SMART CONTROL) ( Cordis). The follow-up of patency was studied with Dupplex Scan and RX of the legs at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months after the initial treatment.Results: 5 ( five) Female patients (84%) mean age 74 years +/- 5; 1 (one) Male patient (16%) mean age 60 years. 3 procedures was with percutaneous ipsilateral antegrade approach. 4 was hybrid approach ( open femoral endarterectomy + balloon angioplasty & stent placement). Initial patency was of 100%, Restenosis in one case (14%) of 60% asintomatyc patient at 24 months and distal to stent placement; Ocluded one case (14%) at 12 month (man with reestenosiscarotid stent to). Don´t observed stent fracture in this study. Conclusions: Large Nitinol stents (> 120 mm length) are a good instrument to the treatment of superficial artery lesion with a comparable patency with surgery approach in lesions TASC II B-C.

ABSTRACT

Los Seudoaneurimas (SA) iatrogénicos de la arteria femoral, se han vuelto más frecuentes debido al aumento en la complejidad de los procedimientos que requieren introductores cada vez de mayor diámetro, asociado a terapias anticoagulantes y/o antiagregantes de largo plazo. El tratamiento estándar de este tipo de lesiones fue por mucho tiempo la cirugía, sin embargo, han aparecido nuevas opciones menos invasivas, como el seguimiento activo, la compresión guiada bajo ultrasonido o la inyección de trombina bajo visión ecográfica Asimismo, se han estudiado cuales son los factores -ya sea asociados a los pacientes o a las técnicas de punción o hemostasia-, que aumentan las posibilidades de desarrollar SA. Esto ha permitido el desarrollo de dispositivos de tipo "sello arterial" como elementos preventivos. El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo revisar los factores de riesgo asociados al desarrollo de SA, las medidas de prevención -incluido el uso de "sellos arteriales en ciertos pacientes-, así como las opciones terapéuticas disponibles actualmente para el manejo de pacientes con este tipo de lesiones.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided manual compression of arterial pseudoaneurysms formed as a result of various procedures. METHODS: Ultrasound-guided manual compression was performed in 444 patients with ultrasound-diagnosed pseudoaneurysm. These patients were evaluated for number of locules in pseudoaneurysm, size of pseudoaneurysm, total time of compression, number of sittings, success/failure of the procedure, and possible complications. RESULTS: Out of 444 patients, 231 (52%) were on post-coronary angiography (3 via brachial route and rest via femoral route), 212 (47.7%) had post-coronary angioplasty and 1 (0.22%) was post-nailing of fracture of right tibia (pseudoaneurysm of right anterior tibial artery). Out of 444 patients, 132 (29.7%) had hypertension, 45 (10.1%) had diabetes mellitus, 117 (26.3%) had both hypertension and diabetes, and 90 (20.2%) were obese. 384 (86.5%) had unilocular, 51 (11.5%) had bilocular, 6 (1.3%) had trilocular and 3 (0.67%) had tetralocular pseudoaneurysm. Size of pseudoaneurysm varied between 0.8 cm and 8.1 cm (mean 3.3 cm). 342 (77%), 48 (10.8%), 54 (12.1%) required 1, 2 and 3 sittings, respectively for complete closure. The compression time was between 15 and 120 minutes (mean 40 minutes). Successful compression was achieved in 423 (95.3%). There were 21 (4.7%) failures, 12 out of which required surgical repair, 6 had spontaneous closure between 12 and 24 weeks and 3 were lost to follow up at 1 year. Out of 212 post-coronary intervention patients, 9 were on low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). In 7 of these 9 patients, LMWH was stopped 48 hours before compression and in remaining 2, compression was done during the course of LMWH therapy. The compression was successful in all 9 patients. Only 2 patients had a transient vasovagal attack. CONCLUSIONS: USG manual compression is safe, inexpensive, reliable and effective outpatient procedure for non-surgical management of arterial pseudoaneurysm.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a importância da interação entre a integrina Mac-1 dos leucócitos (a Mb 2) e a glicoproteína (GP) Iba das plaquetas para o recrutamento de leucócitos após a lesão vascular e o efeito da neutralização da interação Mac-1-GPIba sobre a proliferação celular e a hiperplasia neointimal desencadeadas por lesão vascular. MÉTODOS: Um peptídeo denominado M2 ou anticorpo anti-M2 foi desenvolvido para bloquear a interação Mac-1-GPIba . Esse peptídeo foi injetado e comparado com anticorpo-controle em camundongos C57B1/6J submetidos a lesão vascular da artéria femoral com corda-guia. Um, cinco ou 28 dias após a lesão vascular, as artérias femorais foram retiradas para a realização de morfometria e imuno-histoquímica. RESULTADOS: O bloqueio da interação Mac-1-GPIba promoveu uma redução estatisticamente significativa do número de leucócitos na camada média no primeiro dia após a lesão vascular (controle: 7,9±5,0 por cento do total de células versus anti-M2: 2,0±1,6 por cento, p=0,021), bem como determinou uma diminuição estatisticamente significativa do acúmulo de leucócitos na neoíntima em cinco e 28 dias (controle: 42,3±12,9 por cento versus anti-M2: 24,6±10,8 por cento, p=0,047 e controle: 7,9±3,0 por cento versus anti-M2: 3,3±1,3 por cento, p=0,012; respectivamente). A proliferação celular na camada média do vaso em cinco dias pós-lesão foi reduzida com o bloqueio da interação Mac-1-GPIba (controle: 5,0±2,9 por cento do total de células versus anti-M2: 1,8±0,5 por cento; p=0,043), assim como houve diminuição significativa da proliferação celular na camada íntima do vaso em 28 dias (controle: 3,8±1,7 por cento versus anti-M2: 2,0±1,2 por cento; p=0,047). O bloqueio da interação Mac-1-GPIba também determinou uma redução estatisticamente significativa do espessamento intimal em 28 dias pós-lesão (controle: 10.395±3.549 µm² versus anti-M2: 4.561±4.915 ...


OBJECTIVE: To assess the importance of the interaction between leukocyte integrin Mac-1 (a Mb 2) and platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib-a for leukocyte recruitment after vascular injury and the effect of the neutralization of the Mac-1-GPIba interaction on cell proliferation and the neointimal hyperplasia triggered by the vascular injury. METHODS: A peptide called M2 or anti-M2 antibody was developed to block the Mac-1-GPIba interaction. This peptide was injected and compared to a control-peptide in C57B1/6J mice submitted to vascular injury of the femoral artery with a guide wire. One, five or 28 days after the vascular injury, the femoral arteries were removed for morphometric and immunohistochemical analyses. RESULTS: The blocking of the Mac-1-GPIba interaction promoted a statistically significant reduction in the number of leukocytes in the neointimal layer on the first day after the vascular injury (control: 7.9±5.0 percent of the cell total versus anti-M2: 2.0±1.6 percent, p=0.021), as well as determined a statistically significant decrease in leukocyte accumulation in the neointimal layer on days 5 and 28 (control: 42.3±12.9 percent versus anti-M2: 24.6±10.8 percent, p=0.047 and control: 7.9±3.0 percent versus anti-M2: 3.3±1.3 percent, p=0.012; respectively). Cell proliferation in the neointimal layer of the vessel five days post-injury was reduced with the blocking of the Mac-1-GPIba interaction (control: 5.0±2.9 percent of the cell total versus anti-M2: 1.8±0.5 percent; p=0.043), along with a significant decrease in cell proliferation in the vessel neointimal layer 28 days post-injury (control: 3.8±1.7 percent versus anti-M2: 2.0±1.2 percent; p=0.047). The blocking of the Mac-1-GPIba interaction also determined a statistically significant decrease of the intimal thickening 28 days post-injury (control: 10,395±3,549 µm² versus anti-M2: 4,561±4,915 µm²; ...

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Descrever a técnica de recanalização endovascular da artéria femoral superficial e fazer uma análise retrospectiva dos 3 primeiros anos da técnica. MÉTODOS: Análise retrospectiva dos pacientes tratados entre 2001 e 2004, visando obter as taxas de perviedade das recanalizações. A amostra considerada neste estudo consta de 79 artérias femorais superficiais recanalizadas em 61 pacientes, nos quais foram utilizados exclusivamente a técnica descrita e o mesmo modelo de stent de nitinol auto-expansível (Zilver, COOK). RESULTADOS: Dos 61 pacientes, 8 por cento possuíam isquemia crítica de membro inferior e 92 por cento apresentavam claudicação incapacitante refratária ao tratamento clínico. A melhora clínica foi observada e referida pelos pacientes numa relação direta à perviedade das recanalizações. A análise estatística demonstrou taxas acumuladas de perviedade primária assistida de 98, 91 e 84 por cento em 12, 24 e 37 meses, respectivamente. As taxas de perviedade, entendida como fluxo continuado nas recanalizações, foram de 96, 93 e 93 por cento em 12, 24 e 37 meses, respectivamente. CONCLUSÕES: Consideramos a técnica da recanalização da artéria femoral superficial um método ao mesmo tempo pouco invasivo, com reduzidas complicações e de consideráveis taxas de sucesso anatômico e perviedade, que, em conjunto, são capazes de proporcionar satisfação e qualidade de vida aos pacientes portadores de doença arterial obstrutiva periférica.


OBJECTIVES: To describe the endovascular recanalization technique of the superficial femoral artery and perform a 3-year retrospective analysis of the technique. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of the patients treated between 2001 and 2004, with the aim of obtaining the patency rates of the recanalizations. The sample consisted of 79 recanalized superficial femoral arteries in 61 patients, exclusively using the described technique and the same nitinol self-expanding stent model (Zilver, COOK). RESULTS: Of the 61 patients, 8 percent had critical lower limb ischemia and 92 percent had incapacitating claudication refractory to the clinical treatment. Clinical improvement was observed and reported by the patients in a direct correlation with the recanalization patency. The statistical analysis showed accumulated assisted primary patency rates of 98, 91 and 84 percent in 12, 24 and 37 months, respectively. The patency rates, considered as the continuous flow in the treated area, were 96, 93 and 93 percent in 12, 24 and 37 months, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: We consider the recanalization technique of the superficial femoral artery a less invasive method, with few complications and considerable anatomic success and patency rates, which are able of promoting satisfaction and quality of life to patients with peripheral obstructive arterial disease.

ABSTRACT

Local complications after femoral arterial catheterization, such as hematomas, pseudoaneurysms, arteriovenous fistulas (AV fistulas), and arterial occlusions, are becoming more common, with the growing number of complex invasive procedures being undertaken, especially in older and sicker patients. Newer percutaneous techniques are being developed to treat these. Covered stents are an effective, safe, and less invasive way to deal with pseudoaneurysms and AV fistulas. This case report highlights the application of this technique to treat an iatrogenic femoral AV fistula in a 69 years male.

ABSTRACT

This case report describes a young female child presenting with a painful, expansile swelling at the medial aspect of her right thigh which had followed an open reduction internal fixation of a closed fracture of midshaft of right femur. An angiogram confirmed pseudoaneurysm of the superficial femoral artery probably caused by overpenetration of the drill bit or any sharp instrument while applying dynamic compression plate. It was treated surgically by resection of the aneurysm, reconstruction with inter-positional sephanous vein graft and removal of the hardware
