RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the effect of combined multiple interventional methods in treatment of acute deep venous thrombi (DVT) in lower extremities caused by military training. Meth-ods All 25 patients with DVT were treated with embolectomy by using Fogarty catheter. Of all, three pa-tients were treated only with embolectomy, six underwent embolectomy plus percutaneous transluminal an-gioplasty (PTA), 11 received PTA plus ultrasound ablation and five were implanted with stent-grafts. The clinical results were analyzed retrospectively. Results Based on angiography during operation, the ob-structed iliofemoral vein received complete recanalization in 24 patients, with the perioperative luminal di-ameter ≥71%. Partial recanalization of the entrance of common iliac vein to inferior vena cava was failed in one patient. All 25 patients were followed up for an average 34 months after operation, which showed that 24 patients received satisfactory results with normal military training and that the other one with failed recanalization of vena iliaca still felt swelling pain in lower extremity after training. Conclusion Com-bined multiple interventional methods can remarkably improve the therapeutic effect for DVT caused by military training.
RESUMO
Objective To explore micro-trauma and hig h effective method in treating arterial and venous obstruction diseases. Methods Seven patients with lower limbs arterial sclerosis obstruction (ASO) and 33 patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) had been treated by ultrasound thrombus ablation. The short-term curative effects were observed. Results All patients achieved vessels recanalization without puncture. Arterial straightness of seven ASO cases was reduced from 93%?12% to 35%?6%. While observing from angiogram, their symptoms and signs ameliorated remarkably. Venous straightness in thirty-three DVT patients was reduced from 100% to 28%?8% by observing from angiogram and disappearance of their limb tumidness. Conclusions Ultrasound thrombus ablation is an effective , safe and micro-trauma method for arterials and venous obstructive diseases.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the result of staged arteriovenous shunts for the treatment of thromboangiitis obliterans(TAO) and arterial sclerosis obstruction (ASO). MethodsData of 176 cases undergoing this procedure were retrospectively reviewed. ResultsIn this group, 147 cases (83 5%) were followed up with a median of 9 8 years. Pain and/or claudication disappeared in 86 out of 90 cases (95 5%) treated by low positioned shunt one week postoperatively, with a limb salvage rate of 100%. Among 57 cases treated by high positioned shunts of the lower limbs, pain and claudication disappeared in 43 cases (75 4%) 2~3 weeks postoperatively. Postoperative amputation has to be performed in 5 cases with a limb salvation rate of 91%. ConclusionsThe clinical result of this staged arteriovenous shunts is satisfactory for the treatment of thromboangiitis obliterans(TAO) and arterial sclerosis obstruction (ASO).
RESUMO
To look for a novel micro traumatic and highly effective method to treat arterial and venous occlusive diseases, ultrasonic thrombus ablation technique was applied in 7 cases of arterio sclerosis obstruction (ASO) of the lower limbs and 15 cases of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limbs. The indications, precautions during the operation, and postoperative treatment were summarized. Recanalization of the vessels was achieved in all the patients without perforation. Angiographic examination showed that the stricture of arteries of the patients with ASO was reduced from (93?12)% to (12?6)%, and their symptoms were remarkably ameliorated. In 15 DVT patient, venous occlusion was reduced from 100% to (8?2)% on angiogram, and edema of their limbs subsided. We consider ultrasonic thrombus ablation is an effective, safe, and minimally traumatic treatment modality for arterial and venous occlusive diseases.
