Objective To evaluate surgical treatment of infected pseudoaneurysm (PA) caused by injection of addictive drugs. Methods The clinical data of 17cases of infected PA caused by drug injection were reviewed retrospectively. Ofthem, 1 case was female, and the other 16 cases were male, aging 24-38 years. The locations were brachial artery in 1 case and femoral artery in 16 cases. Fourteen cases were treated by artificial blood vessel transplantation after resection of the aneurysm and radical debridement, 1 case by amputation for serious infection, and 2 cases by non-operation for different reasons. Results Among 14 cases treated by prosthetic grafts, 13 cases achieved satisfactory results, no blood drawback of lower extremity occurred after operation; 1 case had to be amputated for serious infection. After 3 months of operation, the color Doppler examination showed that the 9 artificial vessel grafts were patent and the pulse of arteria dorsal pedis was good. Conclusion Though artificial vessel grafting has high risk in the vicinity of infected PA, it is still an effective procedure for revascularization in condition that there is no suitable autogenous conduit available for auto transplantation. Sufficient drainage, anti-infection and anti-coagulation therapy should be the key factors after the operation.
Objective To evaluate surgical treatment of infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm. Methods The data on surgical treatment of 45 patients with infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm admitted from January 2003 to June 2008 were analyzed retrospectively. Fourty-three patients underwent operative treatment including excision of infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm, exhaustive debridement and bypass graft with vascular prosthesis. Two patients were unavoidable to undergo removing of infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm and ligating the proximal and distal artery of pseudoaneurysm because of severe infection and large volume. Results The patients were followed up from 3 to 12 months (mean 7.82 months). The limbs of all the patients underwent bypass graft with vascular prosthesis were salvaged successfully, patients of which had secondary wound healing and had not intermittent lameness. One of two patients performed ligation of artery was salvaged successfully but had severe intermittent lameness, another patient underwent high amputation above knee because of ischemic gangrene. Conclusion For infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm, the operative treatment including excision of infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm, exhaustive debridement and bypass graft with vascular prosthesis is effective and safe.
rom Aug.1965 to Dec. 1992,29 patients suffered from the peudoaneurysms were treatedwlth 4 different methods. They were:1.ligating the vessels;2. repairing the defected area in thearterial watl: 3, anastomosing the vessels after the peudoaneurysms being removed; 4, repoiring thearteries with vessel grafts after the resection of the poudoaneurysm or by-passing operation. Of the 4different methed, the method 3 and 4 gave the best results. It was thought that the operation should bep...
ObjectiveTo explore the value of modified method for intratumoral injection of thrombin in the treatment of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms.MethodsClinical data of 28 patients with iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms after interventional treatment in our hospital from October 2012 to June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty-one cases were treated with ultrasound-guided thrombin injection for pseudoaneurysms (Ultrasound group), and seven cases were treated with DSA-mediated balloon occlusion and thrombin injection for pseudoaneurysms (DSA group). The patients were followed-up at 1 day, 1 month and 3 monthS after operation.ResultsThe total success rates of the two groups were 100%. There was no treatment-related complications in the two groups. There was no recurrence after 1–3 months of treatment.ConclusionsIntratumoral injection of thrombin can be used for the treatment of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm. The effect of the improved treatment is more significant. These two methods can be used as the best way to treat iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm with different neck diameters.
Objective To summarize the revascularization method of infective femoral false aneurysm caused by drug injection. Methods Between November 2003 and May 2009, 84 patients with infective femoral false aneurysm caused by drug injection were treated, and the cl inical data were analysed retrospectively. There were 67 males and 17 females with anaverage age of 34.6 years (range, 19-51 years). The average duration of drug injection was 2.7 years (range, 1-11 years). In 13 cases, the defect of femoral artery was 3-10 cm; defect ranged from 1.0 cm × 0.3 cm to 3.0 cm × 0.7 cm in the others. The surgical treatment included bypass using synthetic grafts in 5 cases, great saphenous veins transplantation in 29 cases, repair of femoral artery in 24 cases, and l igation of femoral artery in 26 cases. Results Two cases died of intraoperative pulmonary embol ism. Eight cases had postoperative wound infection, which was cured after changing dressings. Incisions healed by first intention in the other paitents. A total of 82 cases were followed up 12-36 months (mean, 17.3 months). In 56 patients undergoing artery reconstruction or repair, dorsal pedis artery pulse was significantly improved, and no distal osteofascial compartment syndrome occurred. In 26 patients undergoing femoral artery l igation, angiography at 1 week after operation showed abundant collateral circulation from ipsilateral internal il iac artery, superior gluteal artery or contralateral internal il iac artery. Three cases had postoperative intermittent claudication which was improved after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion Infective femoral false aneurysm caused by drug injection should be treated surgerically as early as possible, and effective treatments include debridement, drainage, defect repair or bypass with synthetic graft or great saphenous vein from homonymy external il iac artery to superficial femoral artery. Ligation of femoral artery is an option in patients with serious infection when revascularization is impossible.
目的 探讨肢体假性动脉瘤的病因、发病机理以及手术方式的选择，评价各种手术的治疗效果，以提高对假性动脉瘤的诊治水平。方法 30例假性动脉瘤患者（股动脉18例，腘动脉7例，肱动脉2例，桡动脉3例），其中8例为感染或破裂性假性动脉瘤，1例肢体坏死。30例患者均行外科手术治疗,其中11例行假性动脉瘤破口修补术，2例行股动脉结扎术，2例行血管端端吻合术，8例行自体大隐静脉移植术，6例行人工血管移植术，1例行截肢术。结果 30例患者术后恢复顺利，除1例行下肢截肢术外，其余29例术后效果良好。随访7个月～8年,平均(4.4±2.3）年； 行人工血管移植术者4例移植段发生血栓，经溶栓治疗后好转，其余血供状况良好。结论 外科手术治疗肢体假性动脉瘤是一种有效的方法。
