RESUMEN
Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic evaluation process and the effectiveness and safety of intracavitary therapy for pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 38 patients admitted to Beijing Shijitan Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from March 2019 to February 2022. Combined with the patient′s symptoms, PCS was diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasound, computed tomography venography (CTV), and venography. The ovarian vein was embolized with controllable spring coil and polydocanol foam sclerosing agent. The patients were followed up 1, 3 and 6 months after operation.Results:The total surgical success rate of 38 patients was 100%, and the incidence of complications was 5.3%(2/38); Spring coils (2.8±0.3)per person; The dosage of hardener was (7.0±2.1)ml/person. The improvement rate of patient symptoms was 97.4%(37/38); After 1, 3, and 6 months of surgery, color Doppler ultrasound was reexamined and no recanalization was observed in the embolized ovarian veins; The diameter of the parauterine vein was (2.8±0.5)mm, which was significantly lower than the preoperative (7.5±1.9)mm ( P<0.05); The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score was significantly lower than the preoperative score [(2.12±1.87)points vs (7.58±0.82)points, P<0.001]. Conclusions:Process based assessment is helpful in identifying and diagnosing PCS patients who urgently need treatment; Endovascular treatment based on embolization of ovarian vein with controllable spring coil and foam sclerosing agent is minimally invasive, safe and effective.
RESUMEN
Objective:To evaluate the role of Angiojet thrombus clearance device in the treatment of dialysis access thrombosis.Methods:The clinical data of 37 patients with Angiojet thrombus clearance due to hemodialysis thrombosis from May 2019 to May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The clinical success rate was 100%, the mean operation time was (42±21) minutes. The time of aspiration was (35±18) s, and the average length of occlusion was (8±5) cm. All patients were treated with balloon dilation after aspiration. The average postoperative dialysis flow was (270±15) ml/min. The mean length of stay was (2.0±1.5) days. There were no surgically related deaths, no vascular rupture or bleeding, no major complications. Dilated local pseudoaneurysm formation was observed in 5 patients after dilation by angiography without special treatment. The mean follow-up time was 11 months. The primary patency rate was 85% and the secondary patency rate was 87% at 6 months post operatively.Conclusion:Angiojet thrombus removal device has the advantages of minimally invasive, short operation time and repeatability.
