ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: Existe mucha desinformación en la población general y en los pacientes vasculares en particular sobre la enfermedad arterial periférica (EAP). Su adecuado conocimiento puede mejorar el autocuidado y la adherencia al tratamiento en los pacientes que la padecen. OBJETIVO: Desarrollar, validar e implementar un cuestionario que evalúe el conocimiento de los pacientes con EAP sobre su enfermedad y determinar las características clínicas y sociodemográficas que influyen en dicho conocimiento. MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Se diseñó un cuestionario autoadministrado denominado ConocEAP, con 24 ítems de respuesta dicotómica estructurado en 5 áreas: conocimientos generales (4 ítems), factores de riesgo (6), régimen terapéutico (10), farmacoterapia (2) y signos de alarma (2). Se analizó su validez racional, de contenido mediante valoración de expertos y se implementó un pretest cognitivo. Se administró a 120 pacientes hospitalizados por EAP. La fiabilidad se analizó mediante alfa de Cronbach. RESULTADOS: Edad de los encuestados 72 °æ 13 a˜nos, 79% varones. El conocimiento global de la enfermedad fue del 60,5%. El régimen terapéutico y los signos de alarma fueron las áreas de mayor desconocimiento, y los factores de riesgo y farmacoterapia las que tuvieron mayor número de aciertos. El sexo femenino y un nivel de estudios superior se asocian a mayor conocimiento. Respecto al conocimiento de los factores de riesgo, no hubo diferencias significativas entre los pacientes que los presentaban y los que no. CONCLUSIONES: El diagnóstico de EAP no va ligado a un incremento del conocimiento sobre la enfermedad. El cuestionario ConocEAP es una herramienta válida y fiable que permite identificar el nivel de conocimiento de cada paciente y ofrece la oportunidad de individualizar las intervenciones educativas


INTRODUCTION: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is largely unrecognised, but adequate knowledge can improve self-care and compliance in PAD patients. OBJECTIVE: To develop, validate and implement a questionnaire to assess the knowledge PAD patients have about their disease and to determine the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics determining that knowledge. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A self-administered questionnaire called ConocEAP was designed. It had 24 dichotomous response items structured into 5 areas: general knowledge (4 items), risk factors (6), therapeutics (10), pharmacotherapy (2), and warning signs (2). Rational validity was analysed by expert assessment and a cognitive pre-test was also implemented. It was administered to 120 patients admitted to hospital due to PAD. Reliability was analysed using Cronbach's alpha. RESULTS: The mean age was 72 °æ 13 years, with 79% males. Overall knowledge of the disease was 60.5%. Therapeutic regimen and warning signs were the areas of less knowledge, and risk factors and pharmacotherapy those with the highest number of correct answers. Female sex and higher education levels are associated with greater knowledge. There was no significant difference between patients as regards knowledge of risk factors, whether they had them or not. CONCLUSIONS: Diagnosis of PAD is not related to a greater knowledge about the disease. ConocEAP questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool, able to identify the level of knowledge of each patient and provides the opportunity to individualise educational interventions

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La revascularización del sector aortoiliaco mediante bypass aortobifemoral, realizada de forma totalmente laparoscópica, es la cirugía de mínima invasión, más parecida a la abierta tradicional, que tan buenos resultados ofrecen a largo plazo. Presentamos el que creemos que es el primer caso clínico español por esta vía. Caso clínico. Varón de 52 años, con agenesia de riñón izquierdo, función renal conservada, presenta clínica de claudicación progresiva a menos de 50 m, para miembro inferior izquierdo (MII); más larga para pantorrilla derecha. Exploración vascular: ausencia de pulsos en MII; en el derecho: femoral débil, ausencia de pulso poplíteo y distales. Índice tobillo/brazo izquierdo: 0,42; derecho: 0,67. Se indica bypass aortobifemoral por su edad, clínica de claudicación muy invalidante para su trabajo y la extensión de las lesiones angiográficas (clase D TASC II); valorando la posibilidad de realizarlo de forma laparoscópica. Colocación del paciente en lateral de 80º para realización de la vía transperitoneal retrocólica. Sutura terminolateral continua por medio de dos hemisuturas de politetrafluoroetileno (PTFE) CV3 a una prótesis bifurcada de dacrón de 16 × 8 mm de permeabilidad cero. Tiempo de sutura: 1 h 35 min; tiempo total: 7 h. Extubación a las 4 h; estancia en reanimación: 16 h; consumo de analgésicos: tres dosis de cloruro mórfico de 30 mg, en las primeras 24 h; peristalsis audible a las 24 h; se reanuda dieta a las 48 h. Episodio de artritis gotosa a las 48 h, tratada con antiinflamatorios no esteroideos. Alta ambulatoria con pulsos distales positivos al sexto día


Introduction. Revascularisation of the aortoiliac segment by means of an aortobifemoral bypass, performed entirely laparoscopically, is the minimally invasive procedure that most closely resembles traditional open surgery, which offers such good long-term outcomes. We present what we believe to be the first Spanish case report. Case report. A 52- year-old male with agenesis of the left kidney and preserved renal functioning; the patient presented a clinical picture of progressive claudication at less than 50 m for the left lower limb (LLL), and somewhat longer for the right calf. Vascular exploration: absence of pulses in LLL; in the right: weak femoral, and absence of popliteal and distal pulses. Left anklebrachial index: 0.42; right: 0.67. Because of the patient's age, the clinical picture of claudication that left him largely unable to do his work and the extension of the angiographic lesions (class D TASC II) an aortobifemoral bypass was indicated; we also considered the possibility of performing this procedure by means of a laparoscope. The patient was placed on his side 80º to perform the retrocolic transperitoneal path. Over-and-over end-to-side suture by means of two CV3 polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) hemisutures to a 16 × 8 mm bifurcated Dacron graft with zero patency. Suturing time was 1 h 35 min; total time 7 h. Extubation at 4 h; length of stay in resuscitation: 16 h; analgesic intake: three 30 mg doses of morphine chloride, in the first 24 h; audible peristalsis at 24 h; diet was re-established at 48 h. The patient suffered an episode of gouty arthritis at 48 h, which was treated with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, and was discharged from hospital with positive distal pulses on the 6th day

ABSTRACT

We presented the review of 22 cases of popliteal aneurysms with a follow-time of three years. One case was a woman and 5 cases were bilaterals. The most part of cases begun as a latter acute ischemia. Sixteen cases were treated surgically, with a null rate of mortality, 2 amputations, 4 cases of residual intermittent claudication and 10 no-symptomatic patients, with present distal pulses. Etiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, technics and results are presented and a comparison with other authors is made. Our experience support an interventionist attitude in cases of elderly nonsymptomatic patients, performed by internal way and saphenous vein substitution.
