Objective To observe the effects of sarpogrelate hydrochloride in prevention and treatment for ischemia of gluteal and limb following endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm （EVAR）. Methods Clinical data were analyzed in 174 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm （AAA） who underwent EVAR from January 2006 to January 2011. The patients’ mean age was （71.8±8.2）years old （male： 148 cases， female： 26 cases）. The diameter of abdominal aortic aneurysm was （55.2±12.9） mm. AAA involving common iliac artery was in 52 （29.9%） patients. Bifurcated endografts and aorto-uni-iliac （AUI） endografts with crossover bypass were used in 169 patients （97.1%） and 5 patients （2.9%）， respectively. Sarpogrelate hydrochloride were used in 39 patients with gluteal and limb ischemia due to exclusion of bilateral and unilateral internal iliac arteries among 174 patients. Sarpogrelate hydrochloride， 100 mg， three times daily，was taken for 2-4 weeks. Symptoms of gluteal and limb ischemia were followed-up.Results All of patients with AAA was repaired by EVAR successfully and no conversion to open repair. General anesthesia 〔50.6%（88/174）〕， epidural anesthesia 〔30.0%（52/174）〕， and local anesthesia 〔19.5%（34/174）〕 were used. Blood loss was （125.2±43.1） ml and no blood transfusion during operation. Operative time was （145.5±38.7） min, ICU stay time was （14.7±5.2） h， and postoperative fasting time was （7.2±4.3） h. The duration of postoperative hospital stay was （9.1±2.7） d. The perioperative complication rate was 12.6% （22/174）. The 30-day mortality rate was 1.1% （2/174）. Gluteal and limb claudication occurred in 2 paients and 5 patients respectively among 29 patients with EVAR due to exclusion of unilateral internal iliac artery， intermittent claudication distance was 100-200 meters. Gluteal muscle pain and limb claudication for less than 200 meters occurred in 4 patients due to exclusion of bilateral internal iliac artery. The symptoms were relieved after Sarpogrelate hydrochloride， 100 mg， three times daily， was taken for 2-4 weeks. No gluteal gangrene occurred and claudication distances were more than 500 meters when walking， no any interventional and surgical procedures were required， all of them were doing well for median 16.1 months follow-up period. Conclusions Sarpogrelate hydrochloride has definite effects on prevention and treatment for gluteal and limb ischemia following endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm，especially for exclusion of bilateral and unilateral internal iliac arteries during EVAR
Objective To present and summarize the data concerning the diagnosis and treatment of popliteal aneurysm in our hospital. Methods The data of popliteal aneurysm in our hospital from 1975 to 2004 were reviewed and analyzed. Eleven patients with 11 diseased limbs were treated, including 8 males and 3 females, age from 21 years to 64 years 〔(48.54±13.66) years〕. The combined diseases include syphilis, rheumatic heart disease and chronic obstructire pulmonary disease etc. Ten patients received operations, including endoaneurysmorrhaphy (n=4) and graft bypass after aneurysmal resection (n=6), through posterior approach (n=7) or medial approach (n=3). One patient, combined with advanced syphilis and heart failure, received conservative treatment because of his poor general condition. Results The common clinical manifestations included popliteal pulsating mass, claudication, difficulty in extension of the knee, pain etc. Acute ischemia occurred in 3 limbs. The diameter of popliteal aneurysms varied from 4-13 cm 〔（6.73±2.69) cm〕. There were 3 (27.3%) cases of ruptured aneurysms whose diameters were 7 cm, 7 cm and 11 cm respectively. Special examinations included arteriography and Doppler sonography. Pathological results of these patients were pseudoaneurysm (n=3), syphilitic aneurysm (n=3) and atherosclerotic aneurysm (n=4). Two patients were not followed up, and postoperative follow up of the other 8 patients ranged from 18 months to 30 years. In the group of endoaneurysmorrhaphy, postoperative gangrene of the affected limb occurred in one patient, and above-knee amputation was performed. One patient suffered from intermittent claudication in the group of endoaneurysmorrhaphy and of graft bypass respectively. No manifestations of limb ischemia were found in the other 5 patients during the time of follow up. Conclusion General utilization of Doppler sonography in screening high risk patients might be helpful to detect popliteal aneurysm. For symptomatic popliteal aneurysm or asymptomatic popliteal aneurysm with diameter larger than 3 cm, operation is indicated. Asymptomatic popliteal aneurysms no more than 3 cm in diameter could be monitored with care.
Objective To review and compare the literatures on studying endoleak via intra-sac pressure (Psac) measurement in order to reveal the characters of all types of endoleak. Methods Measured the intra-sac pressure with miscellaneous pressure transducers in vitro and in vivo endoleak models or patients afflicted with endoleak. Compared the difference of Psac among no endoleak and all types of endoleak. Results Psac＞0 but was obviously lower than Psys in no endoleak. Psac approached Psys in type Ⅰ and type Ⅳ endoleaks. Some researches showed that Psac in type Ⅱ endoleak was higher than that in no endoleak and even approached Psys, however the other researches showed that Psac in type Ⅱ endoleak was lower than that in no endoleak. Conclusion Postoperative Psac dropping greatly eliminated the risk of aneurysm rupture, which symbolized the success of endovascular therapy. Even if the type Ⅰ endoleak of small size might lead to obvious elevation of Psac, which necessitates management. The impairment and management tactics of type Ⅱ endoleak remained equivocal, which required further study.
Objective To investigate the recent studies about the relationship between Chlamydia pneumoniae and abdominal aortic aneurysm. Methods The current literatures about the relationship between Chlamydia pneumoniae and abdominal aortic aneurysm were reviewed. Results Chlamydia pneumoniae is one of the most important factors for the formation of abdominal aortic aneurysm since Chlamydia pneumoniae can cause abdominal aortic aneurysm through the metabolism of matrix metalloproteinases, the apoptosis of smooth muscle cells in the vessels and the chronic infection of the wall of the aneurysm. Conclusion There maybe a distinguishingly close relationship between Chlamydia pneumoniae and abdominal aortic aneurysm, and Chlamydia pneumoiae may take an important role in the development and progress of the abdominal aortic aneurysm.
ObjectiveTo review retrospectively our experience of the diagnosis and surgical treatment in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA).MethodsThe diagnosis and surgical treatment in 72 patients 〔62 men, 10 women; mean age (67.5±9.3) years)〕 with AAA from January 1995 to February 2004 were analyzed. Fifty-eight patients with infrarenal AAA and 2 patients with suprarenal AAA underwent elective graft replacement operation; 12 patients with ruptured AAA underwent urgent graft replacement operation. ResultsFiftyeight patients with infrarenal AAA and 2 patients with suprarenal AAA were cured and 2 patients with infrarenal AAA died of multiple organ failure after elective graft replacement operation, the 30day mortality rate in patients with infrarenal AAA after elective operation was 3.45%. Seven patients were cured and 5 patients died of multiple organ failure after urgent graft replacement operation, the 30-day mortality rate was 41.67%. ConclusionThe elective graft replacement operation in patients with AAA is a safe and effective surgical approach under the improvement of surgical technique and management of perioperative period.
Objective To summarize the diagnosis and treatment of spontaneous rupture of bronchial artery aneurysm in mediastinum.Methods Two cases diagnosed as bronchial artery aneurysmby methods of enhanced-CT plus independent post-procedure techniques and bronchial artery selective angiography were cured by different intervention surgeries in our hospital. The clinical data of these two patients and different interventional treatments were summarized.Results Case 1 was a 38-year old male.He was given coils and PVC micro-particles, and bronchial artery selective angiography showed distal vascular occlusion and aneurysmsize decreased. Case 2 was a 59-year old female. She was also given coils, but digital subtraction angiography showed bleeding of bronchial artery whose opening was near to the aorta.Then a stent was implanted in the descending aorta to isolate the bleeding bronchial artery, and bronchial artery selective angiography showed blood flow was completely blocked. Conclusions Enhanced-CT plus vascular three-dimensional reconstruction and bronchial artery selective angiography is a chief method to diagnose bronchial artery aneurysm. Bronchial artery embolization and/ or isolating surgery with covered stent are minimally invasive, efficient, trustworthy treatment for spontaneous rupture of bronchial-artery aneurysmin mediastinum. Different techniques of interventional treatment are selected depending on lesion.
Abstract： Objective To evaluate clinical outcomes of plication of left ventricular aneurysm during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting （OPCAB）. Methods A total of 114 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting （CABG） and concomitant surgical treatment for left ventricular aneurysm from January 2007 to January 2011 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were included in this study. All the patients were divided into 2 groups according to the different surgical procedures they received. In groupⅠ， there were 76 patients including 57 males and 19 females with their average age of （63.4±7.8） years who underwent CABG and left ventricular aneurysmectomy under cardiopulmonary bypass on the non-beating heart. In groupⅡ， there were 38 patients including 32 males and 6 females with their average age of （60.6±8.9） years who underwent OPCAB and plication of the left ventricular aneurysm on the beating heart. Preoperative data were not statistically different between the 2 groups except that the percentage of the left ventricular aneurysm to the left ventricle of groupⅠwas significantly larger than that of groupⅡ（42.2%±13.6% vs. 26.5%±12.3％， t=5.499， P=0.000）. Postoperative clinical outcomes and morbidities were compared between the 2 groups， and all the patients were followed up for 6 months. Results There was 2 in-hospital death in groupⅠ， one for postoperative refractory ventricular arrhythmia， and the other for severe pneumonia. There was 1 in-hospital death in groupⅡ because of perioperative myocardial infarction. Postoperative thoracic drainage， incidence of reexploration for bleeding， mechanical ventilation time and incidence of intra-aortic balloon pump （IABP） implantation were not statistically different between the 2 groups （P＞0.05）. To compare their echocardiography outcomes at early postoperative stage and 6 months after discharge with preoperative values， left ventricular end-diastolic dimensions （LVEDD） at early postoperative stage and 6 months after discharge were both signific antly decreased than preoperative value in both groups ［groupⅠ： （54.0±7.8） mm amp; （56.0±8.1） mm vs. （59.6±6.6） mm， groupⅡ： （52.0±7.2） mm amp; （53.6±5.3） mm vs. （57.9±5.4） mm］， and left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） at early postoperative stage and 6 months after discharge were both significantly higher than preoperative value in both groups （groupⅠ：43.5%±3.2％ amp; 55.7%±3.7% vs. 38.0%±7.4%， groupⅡ：44.7%±2.8％ amp; 57.0%±3.5% vs. 41.0%±6.6%）， but there was no statistical difference in LVEDD and LVEF between the 2 groups（P＞0.05）. Conclusion Plication of left ventricular aneurysm during OPCAB is a safe and effective surgical procedure， and possibly more appropriate for patients with a smaller left ventricular aneurysm.
Objective To introduce a modified Sakakibara classification system for a ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm （RSVA），and suggest different surgical approaches for corresponding types of RSVA. Methods Clinical data of 159 patients undergoing surgical repair for RSVA in Fu Wai Hospital between February 2006 and January 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 105 male and 54 female patients with their age of 2-71 （33.4±10.7） years. All these patients were divided into 5 types as a modified Sakakibara classification system. Type I: rupture into the right ventricle just beneath the pulmonary valve （n=66），including 84.8% patients with ventricular septal defect （VSD） and 53.8% patients with aortic valve insufficiency （AI）. TypeⅡ：rupture into or just beneath the crista supraventricularis of the right ventricle （n=17），including 88.2% patients with VSD and 23.5% patients with AI. Type Ⅲ：rupture into the right atrium （typeⅢ a，n=21） or the right ventricle （typeⅢv，n=6） near or at the tricuspid annulus，including 18.5% patients with VSD and 25.9% patients with AI. TypeⅣ：rupture into the right atrium （n=46），including 23.9% patients with AI but no patient with VSD. TypeⅤ：other rare conditions，such as rupture into the left atrium，left ventricle or pulmonary artery （n=3），including 100% patients with AI and 33.3% patients with VSD. Most RSVA originated in the right coronary sinus （n=122），and others originated in the noncoronary sinus （n=35） or left coronary sinus （n=2）. Results All the type V patients （100%） and 50% patients with typeⅢv received RSVA repair through aortotomy. In most patients of typeⅠ，II andⅣ，repair was achieved through the cardiac chamber of the fistula exit （71.2%，64.7% and 69.6% respectively）. Both routes of repair were used in 76.2% patients with typeⅢ a. The cardiopulmonary bypass time （92.4±37.8 minutes） and aortic cross-clamp time （61.2±30.7 minutes） was the shortest to repair typeⅣRSVA. There was no in-hospital death in this group. Two patients （type I andⅡrespectively） underwent reoperation during the early postoperative period because of restenosis of the right ventricular outflow tract. Most patients received reinforcement patch for RSVA repair （n=149），and only 10 patients received simple suture repair （including 5 patients with typeⅣ，4 patients with typeⅢ a and 1 patient with typeⅡ）. Aortic valve replacement was performed for 33 patients （66.7% of those with typeⅠ）. A total of 147 patients （92.5%） were followed up after discharge. Two patients （type I andⅢ a respectively） developed atrial fibrillation and received radiofrequency ablation treatment，1 patient （typeⅣ） underwent reoperation for residual shunt，and there was no late death during follow-up. Conclusion Modified Sakakibara classification system for RVSA provides a guidance to choose an appropriate surgical approach，and satisfactory clinical outcomes can be achieved for all types of RSVA.
Objective To summarize our clinical experience of endovascular repair of aortic pseudoaneurysms，andexplore the etiology of the disease，treatment indications，and early and midterm results of the procedure. Methods From November 2009 to May 2012，52 patients with aortic pseudoaneurysms received endovascular aortic repair （EVAR） in FuWai Hospital. There were 44 male and 8 female patients with their age of （53.8±13.5 ） years. Their onset syndromes includedchest or back pain in 46 patients and hoarseness in 5 patients. There were 23 acute patients and 29 chronic patients. Aortic pseudoaneurysms located at the descending thoracic aorta in 51 patients and the abdominal aorta in 1 patient. The meandiameter of the aortic pseudoaneurysms was （45.1±33.8） mm. All the patients were diagnosed using enhanced CT scan of the aorta. Three patients received emergency EVAR. All the patients received EVAR through the femoral arteries under general anesthesia. Forty-six patients underwent isolated EVAR，5 patients received hybrid technique for EVAR via the neck，and 1 patient received hybrid technique including EVAR and total arch replacement via median sternotomy under normothermia. The average diameter of stent-grafts was （34.2±3.3） mm and the average length was （157.7±20.3） mm. Enhanced CT scan of the aorta was performed before discharge，3 months and 1 year after EVAR during follow-up. Results There was no in-hospital death and EVAR was 100% successful. All the patients （100%） were followed up for 1-31 （12.6±7.9）months after discharge. Their chest or back pain symptoms all significantly improved. Their hoarseness improved too duringfollow-up. One patient’s hoarseness disappeared early after EVAR but recurred 5 months after EVAR. Enhanced CT scan showed enlargement of the stent-graft without endoleak. One patient underwent emergency EVAR for sudden onset of massivehemoptysis，recovered well before discharge，and was readmitted to hospital 5 months after EVAR because of fetid sputum and hemoptysis，who was diagnosed as Behcet’s disease and cured after anti-infection and immunosuppressive therapy. One patient had recurrent fever before and 6 months after EVAR and was cured by antibiotic therapy. Intraoperative angiographyshowed trivial typeⅠendoleak in 4 patients right after stent-graft deployment，which disappeared in enhanced CT scan 3-6 months after EVAR. Intraoperative angiography showed no endoleak in all the other patients，and their enhanced CT scans 3 months and 1 year after EVAR showed complete sealing between the stent-grafts and the aortic wall，thrombus in the pseudoaneurysm sac and decreased diameters of the pseudoaneurysms without endoleak. Two patients had hemiplegia 1 dayand 6 days after EVAR respectively，1 patient was cured and discharged and the other patient survived with hemiplegicsequelae. One patient with an abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm died of sudden onset of cerebral infarction at home 3 monthsafter EVAR. Conclusions Endovascular repair of descending aortic pseudoaneurysms is safe and effective with good early and midterm results，and longer follow-up is needed for its long-term outcomes. Individualized treatment plan is basedon the location of the pseudoaneurysms. Preoperative meticulous medical history and physical examination are both importantfor the differentiation of the etiology of aortic pseudoaneurysms. Postoperative treatment based on the etiology and close follow-up are also needed to ensure long-term results.
