RESUMO

Background: Systemic thrombolytic therapy is not recommended for patients with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) because of major bleeding and intracranial bleeding overcomes the benefit of reperfusion.Patients and methods: A total of 342 PE patients with intermediate-risk PE from the multicenter Serbian PE registry were involved in the study. Of this group, 227 were not treated with reperfusion therapy (anticoagulation only), 91 were treated with conventional thrombolysis protocols at the discretion of their physicians and 24 patients were treated with ultrasound assisted catheter thrombolysis (USACT) with the EKOS® system. All patients treated with USACT had at least one factor which is associated with an increased risk of bleeding. Other patient characteristics were similar across the treatment groups. All-cause and PE-related mortality at 30 days and rate of major bleeding at 7 days were the main efficacy and safety outcomes of the study.Results: The 30-day all-cause mortality were 11.5% versus 17.6% versus 0.0% for no reperfusion, conventional thrombolysis protocols and USACT groups (p = 0.056), respectively. The difference between the rate of 30-day PE-related mortality was in a favour of EKOS and no reperfusion compare to conventional protocols (0.0% vs. 3.5% vs. 11.0%, p = 0.013, respectively). Major bleeding at 7 days, was presented in 1.8% versus 7.7% versus 8.0% (p = 0.021) in no reperfusion, conventional thrombolysis and USACT groups with no intracranial bleeding.Conclusion: In the patients with intermediate-risk PE and at least one bleeding factor, USACT could be an alternative treatment to anticoagulant therapy only and conventional thrombolytic protocols.

RESUMO

Most primary aortoduodenal fistulas occur in the presence of an aortic aneurysm, which can be part of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related sclerosing disease. We present a case who underwent endovascular grafting of an aortoduodenal fistula associated with a high serum IgG4 level. A 56-year-old male underwent urgent endovascular reconstruction of an aortoduodenal fistula. The patient received antibiotics and other supportive therapy, and the postoperative course was uneventful, however, elevated levels of serum IgG, IgG4 and C-reactive protein were noted, which normalized after the introduction of steroid therapy. Control computed tomography angiography showed no endoleaks. The primary aortoduodenal fistula may have been associated with IgG4-related sclerosing disease as a possible complication of IgG4-related inflammatory aortic aneurysm. Endovascular grafting of a primary aortoduodenal fistula is an effective and minimally invasive alternative to standard surgical repair.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Stenosis of brain vessels in 5-10% of cases causes ischemic disesase of the brain. Atherosclerosis is a cause of stenosis in 95% of cases. Patients with basilar artery stenosis and recurrent ischemic attacks are candidate for stroke in 50% of cases in the first two years. CASE REPORT: A 48-year old man presented with a 12-month history of transitory ischemic attacks, periodical loss of vision and balance disorder. Diagnostic cerebral angiography performed by MSCT revealed annular stenosis of basilar artery (85%). Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) confirmed dimensions, grade and localisation of stenosis. Endovascular stenting was performed in general anesthesia. The first step of procedure was preliminary balloon angioplasty and after that self-expandable stent (diameter of 3.0 mm, length of 12 mm) was placed. Check angiogram after stenting confirmed complete dilatation of basilar artery stenosis. CONCLUSION: Combination of balloon angioplasty and self-expandable stenting made possible non-surgical treatment of simptomatic basilar artery stenosis.
