RESUMEN
Objective To investigate methods and results of endovascular treatment in TASC (Ⅱ) D-type femoral artery occlusion. Methods From January 2012 to May 2013, 26 cases (26 branches) of superficial femoral artery occlusion with endovascular treatment of TASC (Ⅱ) D-type superficial femoral artery occlusion were retrospectively reviewed. The effi-cacy was evaluated through ABI, CTA, DSA and symptoms improved. Results 26 branches were treated with endovascular methods. Technical success rate was 80.7%(21/26), including 13 branche with stent implantation, 6 branches with Silver-hawk atherectomy and 2 branches with Viabahn stent implantation. All patients were followed up for a mean period of (10.3 ± 1.2)months, primary patency rates at 6 months were 69.2%in stent group, 66.7%in Silverhawk atherectomy group and 100%in Viabahn stent group. Conclusion Endovascular treatment of TASC (Ⅱ) D-type femoral artery occlusion can lead to satisfactory short term patency rates, and Viabahn stent is the latest treatment.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the impact of preoperative portal vein thrombosis (PPVT) on living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).Methods In this study,99 patients who underwent LDLT by the same surgical team of Tianjin First Centre Hospital from 2007 to 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.According to whether there was a PPVT,all the patients were divided into PPVT group (26 cases) and non-PPVT group (73 cases).The preoperative risk factors and the impact of PPVT on LDLT and outcomes were analyzed.Results Among 26 PPVT patients there were 23 cases in grade Ⅰ and 3 cases in grade Ⅱ.Splenectomy was found to be an independent risk factor for PPVT (x2 =10.211,P =0.001).PPVT prolonged the anhepatic phase (Z =-2.430,P =0.015),but the incidence of surical complications and mortality were no statistical differences between the PVT group and the non-PVT groups.Meanwhile,there was no statistical difference of 1-and 3-year survival rate between the two groups(x2 =0.505,P =0.477).Conclusions With proper intraoperative treatment and postoperative prevention,PPVT does not affect the outcomes of patients suffering from grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ PPVT.However,PPVT added to difficulties of operation,so the detailed preoperative evaluation and careful intraoperative operation is necessary.
