RESUMO
Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of superior mesenteric artery ischemic diseases.Methods:The clinical and followup data of 141 hospitalized patients with ischemic disease of superior mesenteric artery in the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from 1999 to 2021 were reviewed.Results:There were 99 males (70.2%) and 42 females (29.8%). The average age of the patients was (63.75±13.16) years; 127 patients (90.1%) complained abdominal pain.The number of all-cause deaths in the perioperative period was 27 (19.1%). ROC curve analysis showed that the optimal cutoff value of the age with predictive value was 64.5 years. The results of multivariate COX regression analysis showed that age ≥65 years old ( HR=3.855, 95% CI: 1.739-8.545), neutrophil count ( HR=1.072, 95% CI: 1.018-1.130), heart failure ( HR=2.863, 95% CI: 1.332-6.154), creatinine ( HR=1.009, 95% CI: 1.003-1.015), D-Dimer ( HR=1.112, 95% CI: 1.025-1.205) was an independent risk factor for all-cause death from superior mesenteric artery ischemic disease. Long-term survival rate of SMAD group was significantly higher than that of other SMAID; By comparing the clinical characteristics of different SMAID, neutrophil count, neutrophil ratio, D-dimer of SMAE group and SMAT group were significantly higher than that of SMAD group and ASSMA group. Conclusions:SMAID usually occurs in elderly men over 65 years old, with abdominal pain as the main symptom and often accompanied by hypertension. Risk factors included age, increased WBC count and D-dimer; The neutrophil count, neutrophil ratio, D-dimer in SMAE and SMAT group were significantly higher than that of SMAD and ASSMA group.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the pathology characteristics, so as to provide treatment experience of primary cardiac tumors for pediatric patients.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted for 135 patients with primary cardiac tumor between January 2004 and December 2017 in Shanghai Children′s Medical Center.The median age was 0.54 years (range, 0-14.36 years). Single tumor was discovered in 61 cases and multiple rumors were found in 74 cases.Forty-five patients presented obvious clinical symptoms, 4 patients with mild symptoms and 86 patients without symptoms.Forty-one patients underwent surgical treatment, including complete resection of the tumor in 24 cases, partial resection in 16 cases and heart transplantation in 1 case.Concomitant valvuloplasty was required in 13 patients.Ninety-four patients did not receive surgical treatment.Results:A total of 40 patients underwent surgical treatment in Shanghai Children′s Medical Center.Three patients died of low cardiac output (in-hospital mortality: 7.5%), and 2 patients recovered from postoperative low cardiac output.The hemodynamic status was stable in the remaining 35 cases.One patient who received heart transplantation in another hospital survived and had good cardiac function during 24 months follow-ups.There were no significant differences in the survival rate between partial resection and complete resection of benign tumors.One late death was observed in patients with malignant tumors for 2 years after operation.Surveillance was kept in 94 non-surgical patients, among whom 1 case died for the abandon of surgery and 1 case died when waiting for heart transplantation.Other 2 patients were waiting for heart transplantation and other 90 patients had no hemodynamic disorder.Conclusion:Most of primary cardiac tumors are benign and long time follow-up should be able to get on for pediatric patients.When patients develop hemodynamical obstruction, arrhythmia or malignant tumor, surgical treatment is necessary.The principle of surgical therapy in these patients is to restore normal hemodynamic status, instead of completely removing tumor.Heart transplantation is potentially the only way for patients whose tumor cannot be resected.
