RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of intra-sac thrombin injection to remedy type II endoleaks (T2ELs) during endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). MATERIALS AND METHODS: 224 cases abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) were treated with EVAR. For the 52 cases of intra-operative type II endoleaks and 8 cases of ruptured AAAs, after the grafts were deployed, thrombin was injected into the aneurysm sac through a preset catheter. The occurrence of endoleaks post-EVAR were followed up with by Computed Tomography (CT) angiogram. The diameter and the volume of the aneurysm sac were also measured. Endpoints included incidence of T2ELs, AAA sac shrinkage and re-intervention rate and all-cause mortality. RESULTS: The overall technical success rate was 100%. Fifty-two patients were followed up with for 9-56 (median 24) months. No serious complications were observed during follow-up. The incidence of endoleak was 5.8% (3/52) during follow-up. The maximum diameter of the aneurysm decreased from 61.1 ± 14.2 mm to 53.7 ± 10.6 mm, 47.9 ± 8.3 mm and 43.7 ± 7.2 mm (87.9%, 78.4% and 71.5% of pre-EVAR) at the 6-month, 1-year and 2-year follow-up, respectively (P < .05). The volume of the aneurysm sac shrank from 236.2 ± 136.2 cm3 to 202.6 ± 114.1 cm3, 155.6 ± 68.4 cm3 and 129.7 ± 52.4 cm3 (85.8%, 65.9%, and 54.9% of pre-EVAR) at the 6-month, 1-year and 2-year follow-up, respectively (P < .05). The rate of various endoleaks was 5.8% (3/52) and the re-intervention rate was 1.9% (1/52) in this research. CONCLUSIONS: Clinical outcomes show that intra-sac injection of thrombin during EVAR is safe and may be effective in remedying small amount and low-velocity endoleaks and promoting shrinkage of the aneurysm sac.

RESUMO

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of complete multi-level vs. iliac-only revascularization for the treatment of concomitant iliac and superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusive disease. Methods: A total of 139 consecutive adult patients with severe stenosis and occlusive iliac and SFA disease with Rutherford categories 2-5 underwent multi-level (n = 71) and iliac-only (n = 68) revascularization at the Department of Intervention Vascular Surgery, Peking University Third Hospital, and Aerospace Center Hospital, between March 2015 and June 2017. Improvement in Rutherford class, perioperative major adverse events, the length of stay, survival rate, and limb salvage rate were assessed. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-lymphocyte ratio were compared between the two groups. Results: At 48 months, improvement in the Rutherford category was observed in the two groups with no significant difference (P = 0.809). Additionally, the two groups were similar concerning the primary patency (84.0% vs. 79.1%, P = 0.717) and limb salvage rate (93.1% vs. 91.3%, P = 0.781). A higher proportion of the perioperative major adverse events (33.8% vs. 27.9%, P = 0.455), the all-cause mortality (11.3% vs. 8.8%, P = 0.632), and the average length of hospital stay [7.0 (6.0, 11.0) vs. 7.0 (5.0, 8.0), P = 0.037] were seen in the multi-level group compared with the iliac-only group. Conclusion: For concomitant iliac and superficial femoral artery occlusive disease, iliac-only revascularization has favorable efficacy and safety outcomes compared with complete multi-level revascularization in selected patients with patent profunda femoris artery and at least one healthy outflow tract of the infrapopliteal artery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Balanced adjustment of the portal vein shunt volume during a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is critical for maintaining liver perfusion and decreasing the incidence of liver insufficiency. A stent-graft is proved to be superior to a bare metal stent (BMS) for the construction of a TIPS. However, the clinical results of the combination application of stents and stent-grafts have not been determined. This study aimed to compare the technique of using a combination of stents and stent-grafts with using a single stent-graft to construct a TIPS. METHODS: From April 2011 to November 2014, a total of fifty patients were randomly assigned to a stents-combination group (Group I, n = 28) or a stent-graft group (Group II, n = 22). Primary patency rates were calculated. Clinical data, including the technical success rate, bleeding control results, incidence of encephalopathy, liver function preservation, and survival rate, were assessed. RESULTS: Technically, the success rate was 100% for both groups. The primary patency rates at 1, 2, and 3 years for Group I were 96%, 84%, and 77%, respectively; for Group II, they were 90%, 90%, and 78%, respectively. The survival rates at 1, 2, and 3 years for Group I were 79%, 74%, and 68%, respectively; for Group II, they were 82%, 82%, and 74%, respectively. The incidence of hepatic encephalopathy was 14.3% for Group I and 13.6% for Group II. The Child-Pugh score in Group I was stable at the end of the follow-up but had significantly increased in Group II (t = -2.474, P = 0.022). CONCLUSIONS: The construction of a TIPS with either the single stent-graft or BMS/stent-graft combination is effective for controlling variceal bleeding. The BMS/stent-graft combination technique is superior to the stent-graft technique in terms of hepatic function preservation indicated by the Child-Pugh score. However, considering the clinical results of the TIPS, the two techniques are comparable in their primary shunt patency, incidence of encephalopathy and patient survival during the long-term follow-up.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical effects of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) versus stent implantation (ST) after PTA for the treatment of femoral and popliteal artery lesion resulted from arteriosclerosis obliterans. METHODS: One hundred and three patients (119 limbs) treated for femoral and popliteal artery lesion resulted from arteriosclerosis obliterans for ten years were reviewed, of whom 60 limbs were treated by PTA and the other 47 by PTA combined with stent implantation. RESULTS: Among the 60 limbs of the PTA group, there were 22 limbs involved only in femoral and popliteal artery; 13 limbs combined with iliac artery lesion; 17 limbs combined with infrapopliteal artery lesion; 8 limbs combined with iliac and infrapopliteal artery lesion. Among the 47 limbs of the ST group, there were 18 limbs involved only in femoral and popliteal artery; 8 limbs combined with iliac artery lesion; 15 limbs combined with infrapopliteal artery lesion; 6 limbs combined with iliac and infrapopliteal artery lesion. There was no significant difference between the two groups on age, sex, concomitant disease, ankle brachial index(ABI) before treatment and Rutherford classification (P>0.05). The patients' Trans-atlantic inter-society consensus (TASC) C/D was lower in the PTA group than that in the ST group (58.3% vs.76.6%, P=0.047).The follow-up periods were 48.0 (5.0,108.0) and 40.0 (3.0,96.0) months respectively (P=0.064). Compared with the PTA group, the ST group had a better short-term total effective rate (93.6% vs.80.0%, P=0.044) and a higher cost [(33 882.7 ± 8 695.6) yuan vs. (17 754.8 ± 3 654.2) yuan, P<0.001]. The short-term marked effective rate of the ST group was higher than that of the PTA group, but the difference was not significant (31.9% vs.21.7%, P=0.231). There was no significant difference between the two groups on short-term efficiency, and complication rates (58.3% vs. 58.3%, P=0.724; 1.7% vs.2.1%, P=1.000). There was no death during perioperative period and no short-term deterioration in both the groups. The long-term marked effective rate was lower and the deterioration rate was higher in the ST group than that in the PTA group, but the difference was not significant (8.5% vs. 15.0%, P=0.381; 14.9% vs. 5.0%, P=0.081).There was no significant difference between the two group on long term total effective rate,accumulative limb salvage rate and reoperation rate (66.0% vs. 66.7%, P=0.939; 94.7% vs. 94.1%, P=0.884; 31.9% vs. 31.7%, P=1.000), and the 1 to 10 years primary and secondary patency rates were similar (P=0.837, P=0.622).When compared based on TASC classification, TASC A/B patients in the ST group had a higher short-term marked effective rate, a higher short-term total effective rate and a higher long-term deterioration rate than those in the PTA group, but the difference was not significant (36.4% vs. 24.0%, P=0.353; 100.0% vs. 88.0%, P=0.322; 18.2% vs. 4.0%, P=0.216). TASC C/D patients had a similar result (30.6% vs. 20.0%, P=0.307; 91.7% vs. 74.3%, P=0.050; 13.9% vs. 5.7%, P=0.226). Both TASC A/B and TASC C/D patients in the ST group had a similar accumulative limb salvage rate with that in the PTA group (90.9% vs. 90.6%, P=0.920; 97.1% vs. 94.1%, P=0.796). CONCLUSION: Stent implantation can increase the cost and short term effective rate at the same time and is not superior to PTA on the long term effective rate and limb salvage rate for femoral and popliteal artery lesion resulted from arteriosclerosis obliterans.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the status of isolated superior mesenteric artery (SMA) dissection in the most populous country, China. METHODS: The Chinese-language literature published before December 2014 was reviewed. All case reports and series were included. If multiple reports originated from the same hospital and included overlapping time frames, only the most recent report was included. The clinical characteristics, imaging features, and treatment were analyzed. "Symptom relief" was used as the outcome measure. RESULTS: A total of 622 patients (88.5% male) with isolated SMA dissection were found in the Chinese-language literature. Patients were a mean age of 55.4 years. Analysis of the demographic data showed that isolated SMA dissection was most reported from the developed areas of China. The most common symptom (91.1%) was abdominal pain, and 42.7% patients had hypertension as a complication. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography was used to diagnose 95.2% of patients. The mean distance from the SMA ostium to the beginning of the dissection was 20.1 mm (range, 0-65.0 mm). The mean length of dissection was 63.1 mm (range, 10.7-205.9 mm). The percentages of patients who underwent primary conservative, surgical, and endovascular treatments were 63.2%, 3.2% and 33.6%, respectively. As primary management, the symptom relief rate of conservative management, with or without anticoagulation, was 62.6% and 86.5%, respectively. The best result of conservative treatment was achieved in cases of Yun type I and Luan classification type B. The symptom relief rate of surgical and endovascular treatment was 100% and 95.2%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of isolated SMA dissection may not be as rare as previously reported. Endovascular treatment of isolated SMA dissection is commonly used in China as a first-line treatment.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an opportunistic pathogen that can be treated with ganciclovir. Mutations in the UL97 gene of CMV render the virus ganciclovir resistance. These include H520Q and C603W mutations, against which we developed a novel genotyping assay for their identification. METHODS: PCR reactions were performed to amplify fragments of the UL97 gene containing H520Q or C603W mutations. High resolution melting analysis (HRMA) coupled with unlabeled DNA probes was employed to identify the shift in melting temperature of the probe-template complex, which reflexes the presence of point mutations. RESULTS: Melting point analysis performed on the dimeric DNA of PCR products of UL97 gene could not identify mutations in the gene. When coupled to unlabeled probes, point mutations in UL97 can be identified by analyzing the melting curve of probe-template complex. When WT and mutant UL97 DNAs were mixed together to mimic heterogeneous viral population in clinical samples, the genotyping assay is sensitive enough to detect H520Q and C603W mutants that constitute 10% of total DNA input. CONCLUSION: Probe-based HRMA is effective in detecting H520Q and C603W mutations in the UL97 gene of CMV.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical effects of endovascular reconstruction versus bypass surgery for TASC II(trans-atlantic inter-society consensus II) C/D femoropopliteal artery lesion resulted from arteriosclerosis obliterans. METHODS: One hundred and three patients(119 limbs)accepted bypass surgery or endovascular therapy for TASCII C/D femoropopliteal artery lesion between January 2002 and December 2012 at our institution were retrospectively assessed.All the patients were diagnosed with arteriosclerosis obliterins, and all their Rutherford classifications were from 2 to 5 degrees.Among them there were 71 limbs treated by endovascular reconstruction and the other 48 limbs were treated with bypass surgery.We evaluated the short term clinical effect according to the condition when patients left the hospital, and evaluated the long term clinical effect according to the results of the patients' latest follow-up in 2014. Their clinical data before treatment, complication rates, death rates, hospital stays, short term and long term effects, reoperation rates, 1 to 10 years primary and secondary accumulative patency rates and limb salvage rates were compared. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the bypass group and the endovascular group on the mean age and ankle brachial index before treatment [(67.1 ± 7.1) years(51 to 80 years) vs. (68.0 ± 9.4) years (49 to 91 years), P=0.561;(0.41 ± 0.23) vs. (0.40 ± 0.26), P=0.928]. There were more TASCII D patients in the bypass group than those in the endovascular group (P<0.001), and the rutherford classification was higher in the endovascular group than that in the bypass group. The difference in the mean follow-up between the bypass group and the endovascular group was not significant [(41.7 ± 23.6) months vs. (59.5 ± 41.6) months, P=0.065]. Five peri-operative complication cases occurred in the bypass group, including 2 cases of acute thrombosis,1 case of infection and 2 cases of heart failure, and only 1 complication case occurred in the endovascular group that was heart failure.The complication rate was higher in the bypass group than that in the endovascular group [10.4% vs. 1.4%, P=0.039]. And there was no death in both the groups.Compared with the endovascular group, the bypass group had a longer hospital stays [(13.2 ± 4.7) d vs.(6.5 ± 3.1) d, P<0.001], a higher reoperation rate (58.3% vs.31.0%,P=0.003), a better short term, obvious, and effective rate (25.0% vs. 9.9%, P=0.027), a worse long term deterioration rate (37.5% vs. 18.3%, P=0.019) and higher 1 to 10 years primary and secondary accumulative patency rates(P=0.001, P=0.001).There was no significant difference between the two groups on the increase of ankle brachial index [(0.34 ± .28) vs. (0.31 ± 0.23), P=0.371], and short term and long term total effective rates (89.6% vs.84.5%, P=0.426; 45.8% vs. 56.3%, P=0.260), and limb salvage rate (83.3% vs.94.4%, P=0.051). CONCLUSION: Endovascular therapy is a safe, effective and minimally invasive therapy for TASCII C/D femoropopliteal artery lesion resulted from arteriosclerosis obliterans.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To study the relative factors of type II endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysms. METHODS: Twenty-eight cases of abdominal aortic aneurysms treated by EVAR were retrospectively analyzed. The characteristics of the inferior mesentery arteries (IMA), the arc Riolan and the lumbar arteries of the cases with or without type II endoleak were analyzed. RESULTS: Type II endoleak was found in 8 (28.6%) cases, of which, 2 were type IIa and 6 were type IIb. The diameter of the IMA originating part of the cases with type II endoleak [(4.03 ± 1.00) mm] was significantly bigger than that without endoleak [(2.89 ± 0.50) mm, P=0.007]. The number of the lumbar arteries originating from the aneurysm sac in cases with type II endoleak (3.4 ± 0.8) was significantly more than that without endoleak (1.9 ± 1.5, P=0.017). However, type II endoleak was irrelevant to the diameter of originating part of the lumbar arteries and the form of the arc Riolan. After the average 14.5 months follow-up, the aneurysm sac was found with shrinkage in 1 case, no change in 2 cases, and augment in 5 cases. Secondary transarterial embolization was performed for only 1 case. CONCLUSION: Type II endoleak was much easily found in cases with bigger diameter of originating part of the IMA, or in cases with more lumbar arteries originating from the aneurysm sac.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To analyze correlation factors of hemodynamic damage after carotid artery stenting. METHODS: In this study, 66 cases (71 lesions) who undertook carotid artery stenting were collected and the correlation factors of hemodynamic damage were analyzed. RESULTS: Hemodynamic damage emerged in 23 cases (32.4%), of which, 11.3% developed hypotension. The distance between bifurcation and lesions (P=0.0020), plaque distribution (P=0.0002), plaque character (P=0.0019), post-dilation (P=0.0026) were associated with hemodynamic damage by single factor analysis. However, only eccentric plaque (P=0.0153) and calcified plaque (P=0.0097) were associated with hemodynamic damage by multiple factors analysis. All the patients could reach stable circulation by drugs during operation, and no cerebral ischemic events (transient ischemic attack or stroke) and cardiovascular ischemic events happened. CONCLUSION: The distance between bifurcation and lesions, eccentric plaques, calcified plaques are correlation factors of hemodynamic damage.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To introduce the technological modification of stents placement with combined naked self-expanding stent and stent-graft for the construction of portosystemic shunt during transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). METHODS: In the study, 17 patients who suffered from upper digestive tract hemorrhage due to portal hypertension post liver cirrhosis underwent modified TIPS. The shunts were constructed with stepwise placement of naked self-expanding stent and a stent-graft other than stent-graft only for the purpose of precisely covering the parenchymal segment of the shunt and the active control of portosystemic gradient (PSG). The feasibility, safety, and clinical application results of the new technique were analyzed. RESULTS: Technically, the success rate of operation was 100%. The mean PSG before and after TIPS was (28.2 ± 7.6) mmHg, (12.1 ± 3.5) mmHg, respectively (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa, P < 0.001). One patient died 6 days after operation. The median follow-up period was 181 days (ranging from 32 days to 563 days) for all the other 16 cases, during which period 3 patients died because of encephalopathy, liver failure and septicemia, respectively, and 2 cases of encephalopathy occurred and were relieved with medical treatment. The shunts patency rate was 100% and no chance of digestive re-bleeding occurred. The mean Child-Pugh score before TIPS and at the end of the follow-up was (7.8 ± 2.0) points and (7.5 ± 1.7) points, respectively (P = 0.584). CONCLUSION: The technological modification of TIPS with combined naked self-expanding stent and stent-graft for the precise covering of the parenchymal segment of the shunts was relatively simple to apply, and was helpful for the adjustment of PSG. The preliminary clinical application indicated that it had satisfying results in the matter of shunts patency, incidence of encephalopathy, and the relapse of digestive bleeding during the short-term follow-up.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: We report our experience in the treatment of isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection and review the clinical and imaging features reported in the literature. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted of 18 consecutive patients with isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection who presented at the Peking University Third Hospital between September 2008 and May 2012. Their clinical characteristics, including age, sex, medical history, risk factors, symptoms, diagnostic imaging modality, and treatment, were analyzed. Also reviewed were 278 patients with isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection reported in the English language literature. The epidemiology, mechanism, clinical presentation, imaging features, and treatment were discussed. RESULTS: There were 14 men and four women with a mean age of 55.6 years (range, 41-84 years). Four patients were asymptomatic, and 14 presented with acute-onset abdominal pain. The diagnosis was established by contrast-enhanced computed tomography in 17 patients and ultrasound imaging in one patient. All dissections were located at the anterior wall and around the convex curvature of the superior mesenteric artery. The decision to intervene was based on symptoms. Three asymptomatic patients underwent successful conservative management, and one asymptomatic patient with an aneurysmal dilated false lumen underwent endovascular stent placement. For the 14 symptomatic patients, definitive treatment included catheter-directed infusion of a vasodilator in four and stent placement combined with catheter-directed infusion of a vasodilator in 10, of whom one patient underwent hybrid stent placement. No complications or deaths occurred. During the mean 14.9-month (range, 1-40 month) follow-up period, all patients were asymptomatic, and patency of the superior mesenteric artery was demonstrated by contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan. CONCLUSIONS: Conservative management can be applied to asymptomatic patients with isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection. For symptomatic patients, stent placement is the definitive treatment if there is no arterial rupture or intestinal necrosis. Self-expanding bare stents that completely cover the curvature of the superior mesenteric artery are recommended. Catheter-directed infusion of a vasodilator can be an effective accessional process after stent placement.
