RESUMO

A 40-year-old woman underwent laparoscopic common iliac lymphadenectomy for metastasis from rectal cancer. Two weeks after the surgery, she was found to have massive chylous ascites. After failure of conservative treatment, bilateral inguinal intranodal lymphangiography was performed. No definite extravasation was observed while lipiodol injected through the left inguinal node was ascending. When we punctured the right inguinal lymph nodes and started the injection of lipiodol, extravasation of diluted lipiodol was noted at the level of the first sacrum. Careful observation revealed that the ascending lipiodol became diluted in the cisterna chyli, refluxed through the median paraaortic route, leaked from the excised left common iliac lymph vessel, and flowed into the abdominal cavity. Lipiodol used in lymphangiography did not reduce chylous ascites at all. Twenty-seven days after lymphangiography, laparoscopic lymphatic ligation was performed, and the chylous ascites disappeared completely. CT obtained 40 days after surgical repair revealed disappearance of ascites and enlargement of the thoracic duct, which had not been observed on preoperative lymphangiography. Notably, lymphatic reflux from the cisterna chili can occur without obstruction of the thoracic duct and may result in chylous ascites.

RESUMO

We report two cases of chronic portal vein occlusion with jejunal varices successfully treated using percutaneous intervention with a combined transhepatic and transsplenic approach. Case 1 was a 60-year-old man with uncontrolled jejunal variceal bleeding, and case 2 was a 79-year-old man with anastomotic jejunal variceal bleeding and cholangitis. Single access via the transhepatic or transsplenic route failed to allow catheter advancement through the occlusion. After introducing pull-through access via the transhepatic and transsplenic routes, a metallic stent was could be used to dilate the occluded portal vein. Anastomotic jejunal varices functioning as hepatopetal collaterals were embolized after the establishment of antegrade portal flow. No symptom relapse was observed during the follow-up period (31 months for case 1 and 34 months for case 2).

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is used to treat patients with inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH); the goal is to improve pulmonary perfusion. We aimed to evaluate lung perfusion blood volume (PBV) with haemodynamic and exercise-capacity parameters to assess the efficacy of BPA in the treatment of CTEPH. METHODS: We retrospectively studied 33 patients over a 6-year period. DECT pulmonary angiography was performed before and after BPA. DECT provided iodine distribution maps; whole-lung and regional PBV images and quantification were generated using post-processing software. A mosaic pattern suggesting perfusion inhomogeneity is typical in CTEPH. Hypothetically, BPA treatment would promote homogenization that would be reflected in the calculated standard deviation. RESULTS: Lung perfusion images showed decreased heterogeneity after BPA. There was a significant difference before and after BPA in the whole-lung PBV and in the regional standard deviation for pulmonary arterial pressure (R = 0.37, p = 0.032 and R = 0.57, p = 0.006), pulmonary vascular resistance (R = 0.51, p = 0.023 and R = 0.60, p = 0.002), transtricuspid pressure gradient (R = 0.50, p = 0.0028 and R = 0.61, p = 0.0001), brain natriuretic peptide (R = 0.54, p = 0.0012 and R = 0.46, p = 0.0078), and 6-min walking distance (R = 0.59, p = 0.003 and R = 0.26, p = 0.14). The effects were especially pronounced after the first BPA procedure. CONCLUSION: Decreased lung heterogeneity may suggest BPA efficacy in treating CTEPH. After BPA treatment, improved lung PBV and improved regional standard deviation showed a strong positive correlation with haemodynamic parameters and exercise capacity, which also suggests that BPA is effective in treating CTEPH.

RESUMO

Spontaneous ilio-iliac arteriovenous fistula (AVF) associated with aneurysms affecting the abdominal aortic and iliac arteries is a rare condition. The classical clinical symptoms of ilio-iliac AVF include high-output heart failure, abdominal pain, abdominal bruits and thrills, a pulsatile abdominal mass, and venous congestion symptoms (leg edema and hematuria). The prompt repair of AVF is necessary to restore the patient's hemodynamics. We report a case in which a patient with aneurysms affecting the abdominal aortic and iliac arteries and an ilio-iliac AVF presented with high-output heart failure and leg ischemia and was successfully treated via endovascular stent graft repair.
