RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Our objective is to provide provision of primary and secondary patency rates data and incidence of complications. Despite the publication of some review articles and small prospective trials about vascular accesses, controversy still exists regarding the choice of the outflow conduit and especially the choice of the fistula to be formed in secondary and tertiary access procedures. METHODS: This is a retrospective study of 2,422 consecutive patients who underwent 3,685 vascular access procedures in a tertiary care hospital, including radial-cephalic (RCAVF), brachial-cephalic (BCAVF), brachial-basilic (BBAVF), and prosthetic graft (PTFE) fistulas. Maximum follow-up period was 20 years. Actuarial patency rates were obtained by Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS: The median primary patency (days) of the most common 1st choices for vascular access were 712 (95% CI: 606, 818), 1,009 (95% CI: 823, 1,195), and 384 (95% CI: 273, 945) days for RCAVF, BCAVF, and PTFE, respectively. The median secondary patency was 1809 days (95% CI: 1,692, 1,926) for the RCAVF. The median primary patency of BBAVF (2nd or 3rd choice for vascular access) was 1,582 days (95% CI: 415, 2,749). The cumulative incidence of clinically important complications for the patients who received a RCAVF, BCAVF, BBAVF, and u-PTFE was 0.25, 0.57, 0.33, and 0.61 per patient-year, respectively. CONCLUSION: We advocate maximal use of autogenous conduits, except probably the case of the older diabetic patient, in whom access at the antecubital fossa should be the first choice. BBAVF is an excellent fistula and should probably be constructed before prosthetic graft placement.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The aim of this experimental study was to investigate the effect of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) during the three phases of colonic anastomosis healing and specifically to check the effect of MMF on the expression of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), one of the most important growth factors contributing to mechanical stability of colonic anastomosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty male Wistar rats underwent colonic resection and end-to-end anastomosis. The animals were divided into two groups, a study group given MMF 40 mg/kg, intraduodenally and a control group given vehicle. The rats were sacrificed at 3, 7, and 14 days (10 animals in each group). The anastomoses were tested by measuring bursting pressure and hydroxyproline content. Histological examination and immunohistochemical expression of TGF-beta1 also were assessed. RESULTS: The mean bursting pressure in the study group was significantly lower on day 3 and 7, but there was no statistical significance on day 14. The mean hydroxyproline content was lower in the study group on days 3, 7, and 14. Histology showed decreased number of macrophages and fibroblasts on days 3 and 7 but no difference on day 14. The expression of TGF-beta1 was significantly reduced in the study group, with the difference being more pronounced on days 3 and 7. CONCLUSION: MMF weakens the integrity of colonic anastomosis, and this effect is more significant during the inflammatory phase of healing. MMF has a negative effect on macrophages and TGF-beta1 expression, resulting in decreased collagen accumulation at the anastomosis.

RESUMO

Hyaluronan accumulates at sites of inflammation, which affects the organization of matrix and thereby the proliferation, migration, and adherence of cells. In this study we investigated possible beneficial effects of the hyaluronan-degrading enzyme hyaluronidase on rat liver graft viability. Orthotopic rat liver transplantation was performed using a cuff technique in Wistar AL Bacharach Glaxo (WAG) rats grafted with WAG livers, which had been stored in the University of Wisconsin (UW) solution or in UW solution enriched with testicular hyaluronidase. Liver tissue architecture, as well as tissue and serum hyaluronan levels, were determined using immunohistochemistry and biochemical assays. Addition of testicular hyaluronidase (0.4 mg/mL) to livers preserved for 24 hours in cold UW solution followed by brief exposure to Ringer's lactate both prolonged the function of the grafted livers and improved their viability (4 of 10 grafts survived, compared with 0 of 10 in the control group). Hyaluronidase treatment did not damage the liver tissue architecture, and a reduced edema was observed in the survivors. Furthermore, 10 minutes after restoration of circulation, higher serum hyaluronan levels were observed in nonsuccessful compared with successful transplantations, whereas no differences in the levels of other serum viability markers were detected. We conclude that addition of testicular hyaluronidase to storage UW solution limits liver cell damage and considerably improves graft function. Furthermore, our data suggest that serum hyaluronan level is a better marker than other serum markers for early evaluation of postoperative graft function.
