ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the effect of atorvastatin to prevent the arterial restenosis after intracavitary therapy of patients with lower atherosclerotic occlusive (LASO).Methods One hundred and ten patients with LASO were randomly divided into the control group (n =55) and research group (n =55).All patients were given intraeavitary therapy (including balloon dilation, stent implantation and endarterectomy, stentimplantation and thromboetomy).The patients of the control group were given conventional anticoagulant therapy while the observation group were given atorvastatin 20 mg/d based same treatment of the control group for 6 months.The blood lipid, C-reactive protein (CRP), intima-media thickness (IMT) and the patency rate of lower limb artery of two group were observed and recorded before treatment and at 1 day,1 month,3 months and 6 months after treatment.Results The total cholesterol (preoperation, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation were (4.90± 1.02) mmol/L, (4.07 ± 0.76) mmol/L, (3.82 ± 0.53) mmol/L and (3.64 ± 0.35) mmol/L respectively), CRP (preoperation, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation were (31.60 ± 13.32) mg/L, (19.24±9.45) mg/L, (9.84 ± 6.43) mg/L and (6.34 ± 3.82) mg/L respectively) and IMT (preoperation, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation were (1.08±0.25) mm, (1.02±0.27) mm, (0.92±0.22) mm and (0.81±0.16) mm respectively) of research group showed a downward trend,while the control group had no significant change, there were statistically significant differences among the research group (P＜0.05).Total cholesterol, IMT and CRP were significantly different among the patients of the research group at different time points (P ＜ 0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference in different times of patient(P＞0.05).There were no statistical significant about the patency rate at 1 day, 1 month,and 3 months after treatment between the two groups(P＞0.05),while the patency rate of research group at 6 months after treatment was obviously higher than that of control group (94.5％ (52/55) vs.74.5％ (41/55);x2 =7.637, P ＜0.05).Conclusion Atorvastatin can effectively reduce the blood lipid and CRP of patients with lower atherosclerotic occlusive and increase the patency rate,it is worth popularization and application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the clinical effect of drug-eluting stents implantation or pure balloon expansion for the treatment of patients with knee artery lesions. Methods Sixty-eight patients with knee artery lesions were randomly and voluntarily divided into the control group( n=34 )and observation group( n=34 ) . The patients in the control group were given balloon expansion treatment,while in observation group were implanted drug-eluting stents besides balloon expansion. Pathological changes of skin temperature,percutaneous oxygen partial pressure( TcPO2 ),ankle brachial index( ABI),and the recurrence rate of patients before and after treatment for 6 months and 12 months were recorded and compared. Results After 6 months treatment,TcPO2 and ABI in observation group were(35. 4 ± 4. 5)mmHg and 0. 85 ± 0. 04,significantly higher than that in control group(( 28. 2 ± 3. 5 ) mmHg and 0. 62 ± 0. 03 ),and the differences were statistically significant( t=2. 535,2. 185;P﹤0. 05). At 12 months after treatment,skin temperature,TcPO2,ABI in observation group were(32. 4 ± 4. 3)℃,(34. 3 ± 4. 2)mmHg and 0. 80 ± 0. 04,significantly higher than that of the control group ((28. 6 ± 3. 7)℃,(26. 4 ± 3. 6)mmHg,0. 53 ± 0. 02;t =2. 354,2. 648,2. 064;P ﹤0. 05). Meanwhile,the recurrence rate was 5. 9% in observation group,significantly lower than that of the control group( 32. 4%;χ2=8. 463,P﹤0. 05). Conclusion The clinical effect of drug-eluting stents implantation in treatment of patients with knee artery lesions is superior to that of balloon expansion.
