Efficacy of integrated minimally invasive treatment for iliac vein compression syndrome with varicose veins of lower extremities / 浙江大学学报·医学版

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the efficacy of integrated minimally invasive surgery for iliac vein compression syndrome with varicose veins of lower extremities.@*METHODS@#From January 2017 to January 2018, 11 patients with iliac vein compression syndrome accompanied by varicose veins of lower extremities underwent left iliac vein stent implantation and radiofrequency thermal ablation of lower extremity veins in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. The left iliac vein stent was implanted through the puncture point approach of the main great saphenous vein, and then radiofrequency thermal ablation of the main saphenous vein was performed. Rivaroxaban and aspirin were administered from the day of surgery for 6 months and 12 months, respectively. After discharge, patients were followed up for more than 6 months. The lower extremity veins, iliac veins were reexamined by Doppler ultrasound or CT angiography at 2 weeks, 2 months and 6 months after surgery.@*RESULTS@#The operations were successfully performed in 11 patients, and no complication was observed during the operation. The rates of soreness and swelling remission, pigmentation and skin quality improvement, and the iliac vein stent patency were 100%. No varicose vein recurrence, iliofemoral vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism were found.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Integrated minimally invasive surgery is safe, effective and less invasive for iliac vein compression syndrome with varicose veins of lower extremities.

Endovascular treatment of spontaneous isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery / 中华普通外科杂志

Objectives To evaluate the effect of endovascular treatment for spontaneous isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery (SIDSMA).Methods There were 41 men and 7 women patients, aged at 32-78 years.46 patients presented with abdominal pain and 3 patients was asymptomatic.The SIDSMA was diagnosed by computed tomography angiography(CTA).Results In the 45 symptomatic patients, one was treated by laparotomy, SMA thrombectomy and necrotic bowel resection.44 patients underwent endovasular treatment, among them 2 patients failed endovasular procedure.The other 42 patients underwent successful intravascular remolding.3 asymptomatic patients underwwent conservative treatment.During the mean (17 ± 4)month follow-up period, computed tomography angiography showed patent true lumen in all the 42 patients.The 2 patients in which the endovascular intervention failed remain symptomatic of recurrent abdominal pain and digestive dysfunction.Conclusions The endovascular interventional therapy is safe and effective for SIDSMA.
