Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a common theraputic option for aortic stenosis, but the evidence for precise anatomy for TAVR is accumulating. This paper presents the case of an 71-year-old female patient who had an extremely high risk of coronary obstruction due to both coronary ostia lying too low. The patient underwent TAVR with the help of coronary protection successfully. During the procedure, the patient was protected with wires only for both coronaries. After deployment, angiofluoroscopy suggested that chimney stenting should be applied for left coronary. The whole procedure was unenventful and both coronaries were seen.
An 84-year-old severe aortic stenosis patient admitted with acute heart failure was reported. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was proposed. The patient was at high risk of the left coronary artery occlusion in preoperative and intraoperative evaluation. Coronary artery protection was performed by pre-embedded coronary artery guide wire and stent during the TAVR. The left coronary artery was partially blocked by valve leaflet after 23 mm self-expanding aortic valve was released. Coronary revascularization was not performed as the coronary blood flow was not affected. However, the patient suffered acute myocardial infarction with hypotension on the third day after TAVR. Emergency angiography showed that left coronary artery was more blocked than before and the condition improved after left main coronary stent implantation. This case suggested that aggressive coronary revascularization should be considered for high risk of coronary artery obstruction during TAVR, especially for partial obstruction of coronary artery.
In order to solve the problem of the micro flow cell clogging, and to improve the reliability of the flow cytometry system, a new method was proposed for hydrodynamic self-cleaning system. By analyzing the flow cell focus principle, we considered that to obtain stable single cell flow, the stable pressure in the flow chamber must be ensured. Therefore, we established a diagnosis method of clogging by the pressure detecting, and designed a self-cleaning system. Then we built up corresponding experimental systems. Experiments and testing showed that the self-cleaning system could improve the flow and resolve the clogging problem.
Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is widely used as an intravenous therapy pathway, and catheter occlusion is one of the most common complications during the use of PICC. Catheter occlusion may lead to extubation or re-catheterization, which may generate prolonged hospital stay and increased medical costs, thus affecting the implementation of treatment and patient prognosis. The prevention and treatment of occlusion are of great significance. Daily maintenance and nursing operations should be complete, standardized and implemented in place. Evidence-based standard procedures should be established to meet the needs of clinical work. This consensus follows the methods and principles provided in the WHO guidelines formulation manual, and forms a systematic and standardized clinical practice process, including PICC patency assessment, catheter occlusion degree and type assessment, risk factor prevention, blockage management, etc. The purpose of this consensus is to reduce catheter-related complications, ensure the longevity of PICC and the safety of patient treatment.
This article presented the clinical diagnosis and management of a patient with severe aortic regurgitation and moderate aortic stenosis who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement complicated with coronary obstruction and retroperitoneal hematoma. The hemodynamics collapsed during the procedure, and transcatheter aortic valve replacement was performed under support of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and coronary protection. After a negative coronary angiography, the wire was extracted, but a repeated angiography showed left coronary obstruction, so a coronary stent was implanted to the ostium of left coronary artery through the grid of the valve stent. Abdominal CT showed a giant retroperitoneal hematoma 2 weeks after transcatheter aortic valve replacement, and the emergent angiography indicated contrast leakage from left external iliac artery, so a balloon compression was performed followed by a covered stent implantation. This article also provided the clinical characteristics, risk factors and management of coronary obstruction and vascular complication for clinical reference.
Objective To investigate the difference of anticoagulant efficacy of heparin and citric acid during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis, and analyze their effects of on filter life span, length of hospital stay and mortality. Methods Patients with severe acute pancreatitis in Intensive Care Unit of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University between January 2018 and July 2022 were retrospectively enrolled, and they were divided into heparin group (control group) and citric acid group (research group) according to anticoagulation methods. The differences of anticoagulant catheter blockage during CRRT, filter life span, length of hospital stay, and 90-day mortality between the two groups were analyzed. Results A total of 108 patients were enrolled, including 56 in the research group and 52 in the control group. In pre-CRRT treatment, the balance value of fluid intake and outflow in the research group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The 108 patients received 217 times of CRRT treatment totally, with a median length of treatment of 63 h (range 44-87 h). The severity of catheter blockage in the research group was lower than that in the control group (P=0.003). The filter life span was longer in the research group than that in the control group [42.5 vs. 29.0 h; hazard ratio=1.83, 95% confidence interval (1.23, 2.73), P<0.001]; in the comparison of 90-day mortality, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The mean use of filters in the research group was less than that in the control group (1.93±0.09 vs. 2.17±0.14, P<0.001). The downtime of CRRT due to filter life in the research group was obviously shorter than that in the control group [120 (0, 720) vs. 300 (0, 890) min, P=0.029], while the duration of CRRT in the research group was remarkably better than that in the control group [10.6 (4.9, 27.7) vs. 8.1 (3.6, 25.0) d, P=0.024], and the risk of filter replacement due to special conditons in the research group was lower than that in the control group (46.4% vs. 65.4%, P=0.048). There was no statistically significant difference in the length of intensive care unit hospitalization or total hospitalization between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Both heparin and citric acid could assist the treatment of CRRT, while citric acid might be apt to improve local coagulation and systemic inflammatory response.
