RÉSUMÉ
Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of ExoSeal vascular occluder in bridging therapy for patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Methods The clinical data of 142 AIS patients,who received mechanical thrombectomy in the bridge-connected vascular lumen after full dose recombinant tissue plasminogen activator(rt-PA)thrombolysis at the Weifang Municipal People's Hospital of China between June 2018 and December 2020,were retrospectively analyzed.An 8-F femoral arterial sheath was used for the performance of endovascular mechanical thrombectomy in all patients.After the interventional procedure finished,the hemostasis of femoral artery puncture point was achieved by using manual compression(MC)method in 68 patients(MC group)and by using a 7-F ExoSeal vascular occluder method in 74 patients(ExoSeal group).The success rate of puncture point hemostasis and the incidence of puncture point-related complications were compared between the two methods.Results The success rate of surgery in the ExoSeal group was 94.6％,which was obviously higher than 83.8％in the MC group(P=0.037).During the period from the time of finishing surgery and the time of discharge,11 patients(16.2％)in the MC group and 4 patients(5.4％)in the ExoSeal group developed puncture point-related complications(P=0.030),and 6 patients(8.8％)in the MC group and 2 patients(2.7％)in the ExoSeal group developed deep vein thrombosis(P=0.109).No arteriovenous fistula,pseudoaneurysm,acute ischemia of the ipsilateral lower limb,puncture point-associated major bleeding,or other complications that required vascular surgery or interventional therapy occurred in all patients.Conclusion ExoSeal vascular closure device can be safely used in AIS patients who are receiving mechanical thrombectomy in the bridge-connected vascular lumen after thrombolysis.It carries high success rate for femoral artery puncture point hemostasis,besides,it can reduce the incidence of puncture point hematoma.
RÉSUMÉ
Objective:To evaluate Castor single-branch covered-stent in the treatment of Stanford B aortic dissection(TBAD)with insufficient anchorage zone.Methods:Clinical data of 25 TBAD patients (proximal healthy landing zone ≤15 mm) treated with Castor branched stent-graft at Weifang People's Hospital from Apr 2019 to Sep 2021 were analyzed retrospectively.The stent model was selected according to preoperative CTA examination and intraoperative angiography,the operation result and follow up data were reviewed.Results:The operation success rate was 100%,the mean operative time was (137.8±35.8)min, and the mean blood loss was (52.8±24.5)ml. There were 2 cases of internal leakage (IA) and it was disappeared after balloon dilation, Branched stent stenosis occurred in 2 cases and relieved by balloon dilatation. The mean follow-up time was 14.6 months, and the patency rate of branch stent was 100% during the follow-up period. The true lumen diameter of thoracic aorta was significantly expanded and the false lumen diameter was significantly reduced 3 months after surgery compared with that before surgery ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Castor stenting in the treatment of TBAD with insufficient proximal anchoring area is simple and feasible, with satisfactory short term clinical effect.
