The effect of interventional thrombolytic therapy for central retinal artery occlusion with ipsilateral internal carotid artery occlusion via supratrochlear artery retrogradely or external carotid artery anterogradely

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of interventional thrombolytic therapy for central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) with ipsilateral internal carotid artery occlusion via supratrochlear artery retrogradely or external carotid artery anterogradely.MethodsNine CRAO patients (9 eyes) were enrolled in this study, including 5 males and 4 females. The mean age was (45.2±18.1) years. The mean onset duration was 24 hours. There were 4 eyes with vision of no light perception, 3 eyes with light perception and 2 eyes with hand movement. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) examination showed that the retinal artery was filled with delayed fluorescence. The peak of fluorescence was seen in the anterior part of the artery, and some of the eyes showed retrograde filling. The arm-retinal circulation time (A-Rct) was ≥35 s in 4 eyes, ≥35 s - ＜25 s in 5 eyes. The filling time of retinal artery and its branches (FT) was ≥15 s in 2 eyes, ≥12 s - ＜15 s in 3 eyes, ≥9 s - ＜12 s in 4 eyes. All the patients received the treatment of interventional thrombolytic therapy via supratrochlear artery retrogradely (8 eyes) or external carotid artery anterogradely (1 eye) according to the indications and contraindications of thrombolytic therapy in acute cerebral infraction patients. Urokinase (0.4 million U in total) was intermittently injected into the arteries. After artery thrombolysis, the changes of digital subtraction angiography (DSA), filling time of retinal artery and its branches on FFA within 24 hours and the visual acuity were observed. According to the A-Rct and FT on FFA, the therapeutic effects on retinal circulation were defined as effective markedly (A-Rct≤15 s, FT≤2 s) , effective (A-Rct was improved but in the range of 16 - 20 s, FT was in 3 - 8 s) and no effect (A-Rct was improved but ≥21 s, FT≥9 s). The related local or systemic complications were recorded.ResultsAfter the injection of urokinase into the catheter, the ophthalmic artery and its branches were increased in 6 eyes (66.7%), and the development of the eye ring was significantly more than that of the eyes before thrombolysis. The circulation time in ophthalmic artery was speeded up for 2 s before thrombolysis in 3 eyes, 3 s in 3 eyes, and 4 s in 2 eyes. Within 24 hours after thrombolysis treatment, the A-Rct was significantly decreased than that of before interventional therapy. The retinal circulation was effective markedly in 4 eyes (44.4%), effective in 4 eyes (44.4%) and no effect in 1 eyes (11.2%) . The vision was improved 3 lines in 4 eyes (44.4%), 2 lines in 3 eyes (33.3%), 1 line in 1 eye (11.2%) and no change in 1 eye (11.2%). There were no abnormal eye movements, vitreous hemorrhage and incision hematoma, intracranial hemorrhage, cerebral embolism, and other local and systemic adverse effectives during the follow-up.ConclusionsThe interventional thrombolytic therapy via supratrochlear artery retrogradely or external carotid artery anterogradely for CRAO with the ipsilateral internal carotid artery occlusion can improve retinal circulation and vision. There are no related local or systemic complications.

ObjectiveTo analysis the risk factors for carotid stenosis in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease based on digital subtraction angiography. MethodsA total of 312 patients diagnosed with ischemic cerebrovascular disease who underwent digital subtraction angiography from June 2011 to September 2013 were selected.The risk factors of carotid stenosis were analysised by multivariate logistic regression analysis. ResultsIn 312 patients,271 were with cerebral infarction and 41 were transient ischemic attack patients.There were 149 patients in carotid stenosis group (stenosis degree ≥50%) and 163 patients in control group (stenosis degree<50%).The age (OR=1.037,P=0.000) and coronary heart disease (OR=4.121,P=0.001) were independent risk factors of carotid stenosis with ischemic cerebrovascular disease. ConclusionCarotid stenosis is common in ischemic cerebrovascular disease.Age and coronary heart disease were the independent risk factors.The recognition and control of these risk factors are in favor of secondary prevention of ischemic cerebrovascular disease.

恶性颈动脉体瘤肺转移一例并文献复习

目的 探讨恶性颈动脉体瘤（malignant carotid body tumor，MCBT）的发病机制、临床表现、影像学特点及治疗。方法 回顾 1 例确诊 MCBT 的患者资料并结合相关文献进行复习，以“颈动脉体瘤”、“肺转移”以及“carotid body tumor”、“lung metastasis”和“pulmonary metastasis”为检索词检索中国知网、万方、Pubmed 等数据库，对相关文献进行分析。结果 患者女，20 岁，以“头晕、伴咳嗽”为首发症状，胸部 CT 示两肺多发粟粒结节，在外院诊断“肺结核”，抗结核治疗 10 d 因出现胃肠道反应停用。入院查体发现左侧下颌角无痛性肿块，结合颈动脉 CT 血管成像（CT angiography，CTA）和正电子发射计算机体层显像联合计算机体层摄影检查结果，考虑 MCBT。文献复习共纳入 36 篇文献，合计 42 例患者。患者临床表现不典型。颈动脉CTA 病变征象呈“破杯征”，典型“抱球征”消失。手术是主要治疗方法，放射治疗、化学治疗作为辅助手段，基因检测和分子靶向治疗是近年来的研究方向。结论 MCBT 临床上缺乏特征性表现，当 CT 表现为粟粒结节样肺转移瘤时，易误诊为肺结核。应对入院患者进行细致查体，可疑患者行颈动脉 CTA 等检查，诊断后尽早彻底切除肿瘤以改善患者预后。

Methods 194 patients with CHD and 86 nonCHD patients were selected through coronary angiography in patients with essential hypertension. CHD group was divided into three subgroups including a single branch, doublebranch and multivessel disease. Intimamedia thickness (IMT) of carotid artery and carotid bifurcation, grade score, Crouse score, serum uric acid concentrations were detected in patients with coronary heart disease and control group. Results IMT of carotid artery and carotid bifurcation, grade score,crouse score, serum uric acid concentrations were higher in CHD group than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant. In the CHD group, ultrasound parameters of carotid artery and serum uric acid increased with the increase in branch lesions (Plt;005 or 001). Conclusions Carotid IMT, grade score, Crouse score, serum uric acid concentration relate to coronary heart disease, which is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease, respectively.

Ocular ischemic appearance associated with carotid artery stenosis and its influence factor

ObjectiveTo observe the prevalence of ocular ischemic appearance (OIA) associated with carotid artery stenosis, and to explore the correlation between the ocular ischemic appearance and the carotid stenosis degree and location. MethodsA total of 132 patients with carotid artery stenosis diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasound and CT angiography were enrolled in this prospective study. The carotid stenosis degree and location were identified. The ophthalmic symptoms was inquired. The corrected vision, diopter, intraocular pressure, slit lamp microscope and fundus examination were used to determine if OIA exists. The correlation between the OIA and the carotid stenosis degree and location were analyzed. The carotid stenosis degree was divided into 4 types: mild (≤50%), moderate (<50% but ≤75%), severe (<75% but ≤99%) and occlusion (100%). ResultsThe distribution of carotid stenosis degree as follow: mild in 16 patients (12.1%), moderate in 46 patients (34.8%), severe in 50 patients (37.9%) and occlusion in 20 patients (15.2%). The stenosis located in the external carotid artery in 21 patients (15.9%), in internal carotid artery in 46 patients (34.8%), in crotch of extracranial internal carotid artery in 55 patients (41.7%), and in common carotid artery in 10 patients (7.6%). There were 54 patients (40.9%) with ocular ischemic diseases, which including retinal arterial obstruction (5 patients, 9.2%), retina change of venous stasis (13 patients, 24.1%), neovascular glaucoma (7 patients, 13.0%), ischemic optic neuropathy (19 patients, 35.2%), ocular ischemia syndrome (10 patients, 18.5%). The ophthalmic symptoms included transient amaurosis, decreased visual acuity, eye and periorbital pain, retinal hemorrhage and exudation, diplopia, rubeosis iridis and increased intraocular pressure. There was highly positive correlation between the carotid stenosis degree and OIA (r=0.287, P=0.018). There was no correlation between the carotid stenosis location and OIA (P>0.05). Conclusion40.9% carotid stenosis patients has OIA. There is relationship between the carotid stenosis degree and OIA, but carotid stenosis location showed no correlation with OIA.
