Open surgery is an important part of vascular surgery. For vascular surgery diseases not suitable for endovascular therapy, adjuvant methods of endovascular therapy and the ultimate means of treatment after failure, vascular graft infection, open vascular trauma, various tumors involving blood vessels, vascular reconstruction and complications of organ transplantation, iatrogenic vascular injury, and so on, open surgical procedures still need to be provided for treatment and development. This paper lists the important role that open surgery plays in supporting the treatment of vascular related diseases and the development of the discipline in surgery and internal medicine, and emphasizes that open surgery is still a necessary quality for vascular surgeons, the basis and important guarantee for the development of the discipline, and the guarantee for the timely and effective treatment of various complex and difficult vascular surgical diseases.
随着外科技术和围手术期治疗水平日益提高，腹主动脉瘤择期手术治疗死亡率已控制在5%以内［1，2］，但破裂腹主动脉瘤（ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm,RAAA）的死亡率一直在40%～70%，如果包括尚未到达医院的RAAA患者，死亡率可达80%～90%，RAAA被美国列为第13位死亡原因［2~4］。目前，及时准确的诊断和快速有效的外科治疗仍是降低RAAA死亡率的关键。......
Objective To study the major postoperative complications of abdominal aortic aneurysm （AAA） repair in high-risk patients， analyze its causes， and suggest the prevention methods. Methods From January 2009 to September 2011， 57 cases of high-risk AAA patients underwent AAA repair in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. High-risk patients were defined as age≥60 years，the American Society of Anesthesiologists grade three or four，and at least one of complications about heart， lung， and kidney. Major postoperative complications were rated， and preoperative cardiac，pulmonary， and renal condition，anesthesia and surgical impact were taken into account while evaluating the risk factors of major postoperative complications. Results Forty-one of 57 high-risk patients with AAA were repaired by endovascular repair，16 of 57 high-risk patients with AAA were repaired by traditional open surgery. The early mortality （within 30d） was 1.8% （1/57）. The major postoperative complications rate of AAA repair was 19.3% （11/57） in total，and 8.8% （5/57），8.8% （5/57），and 1.8% （1/57） for cardiac complication，pulmonary complication， and acute renal failure，respectively. The patients with coronary heart disease had a higher cardiac complication rate 〔19.0% （4/21） versus 2.8% （1/36），χ2=4.387，P＜0.05〕 ， while with hypertension had no such effect for that〔10.3% （4/39） versus 5.6% （1/18），χ2=0.340，P＞0.05〕. Patients with abnormal pulmonary function was responsible for postoperative respiratory complications 〔20.0% （4/20） versus 5.6% （1/18）， χ2=4.387， P＜0.05〕 ， while with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease history was not responsible for that 〔13.2% （5/38） versus 0 （0/19），χ2=2.740，P＞0.05〕．Patients with preoperative renal function was not related to postoperative acute renal failure 〔0 （0/4） versus 1.9% （1/53）， χ2=0.077，P＞0.05〕. Compared with traditional open surgery，endovascular repair could effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative complications 〔12.2% （5/41） versus 37.5% （6/16）， χ2=3.980，P＜0.05〕. The incidence of postoperative respiratory complications in the local anesthesia patients was less than that in the general anesthesia patients 〔0（0/20）versus 19.0% （4/21），χ2=4.221，P＜0.05〕. Conclusions Cardiac and pulmonary complications are commonly seen after AAA repair in high-risk patients．Preoperative cardiac，pulmonary condition，anesthesia and surgical aspects greatly influence the major postoperative complications. Exhaustively assessment of each system before surgery，appropriate anesthesia and surgical options，postoperative active and effective symptomatic，and supportive treatment are the key to reducing the incidence of postoperative complications.
Objective To investigate pathogenesy and therapeutic prospect of diabetes mellitus accompanied lower limb vascular lesion. Methods Relevant literatures of recent years were reviewed. Results Diabetes mellitus is one of the main risk factor causing peripheral artery disease. The site of vascular lesion often occur in major blood vessel and micrangium. The arterial sclerosis and decreased blood supply in microcirculation are important factors of lower limb ischemia. Lower limb ischemia in patients with diabetes mellitus is a common complication. Medical treatment and surgical treatment are the methods to improve symptoms of the complication. Conclusion Surgical therapy is an effective method for the treatment of diabetes mellitus accompanied lower limb vascular lesion.
