An idiopathic, segmental, nonatheromatous disease of the musculature of arterial walls, leading to STENOSIS of small and medium-sized arteries. There is true proliferation of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS and fibrous tissue. Fibromuscular dysplasia lesions are smooth stenosis and occur most often in the renal and carotid arteries. They may also occur in other peripheral arteries of the extremity.

Patient care procedures performed during the operation that are ancillary to the actual surgery. It includes monitoring, fluid therapy, medication, transfusion, anesthesia, radiography, and laboratory tests.

The internal resistance of a material to moving some parts of it parallel to a fixed plane, in contrast to stretching (TENSILE STRENGTH) or compression (COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH). Ionic crystals are brittle because, when subjected to shear, ions of the same charge are brought next to each other, which causes repulsion.

Surgery performed on the heart.

A pathological condition caused by impaired blood flow in the basal regions of cerebral hemispheres (BASAL GANGLIA), such as INFARCTION; HEMORRHAGE; or ISCHEMIA in vessels of this brain region including the lateral lenticulostriate arteries. Primary clinical manifestations include involuntary movements (DYSKINESIAS) and muscle weakness (HEMIPARESIS).

The failure by the observer to measure or identify a phenomenon accurately, which results in an error. Sources for this may be due to the observer's missing an abnormality, or to faulty technique resulting in incorrect test measurement, or to misinterpretation of the data. Two varieties are inter-observer variation (the amount observers vary from one another when reporting on the same material) and intra-observer variation (the amount one observer varies between observations when reporting more than once on the same material).

Forcible or traumatic tear or break of an organ or other soft part of the body.

Blocking of a blood vessel by an embolus which can be a blood clot or other undissolved material in the blood stream.

A surgical specialty concerned with the treatment of diseases and disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral and sympathetic nervous system.

Statistical models which describe the relationship between a qualitative dependent variable (that is, one which can take only certain discrete values, such as the presence or absence of a disease) and an independent variable. A common application is in epidemiology for estimating an individual's risk (probability of a disease) as a function of a given risk factor.

Endovascular treatment of ruptured, peripheral cerebral aneurysms: parent artery occlusion with short Guglielmi detachable coils. (1/314)

We report two cases of distal cerebral aneurysms that were treated by parent artery occlusion with short Guglielmi detachable coils (GDCs). One patient had a presumed mycotic aneurysm of the distal left posterior cerebral artery, and the other had a partially clipped aneurysm of the distal right anterior inferior cerebellar artery that had hemorrhaged. Short GDCs allow controlled, accurate occlusion of the parent artery at the aneurysmal neck. (+info)

Video-assisted crossover iliofemoral obturator bypass grafting: a minimally invasive approach to extra-anatomic lower limb revascularization. (2/314)

Graft infection continues to be one of the most feared complications in vascular surgery. It can lead to disruption of anastomoses with life-threatening bleeding, thrombosis of the bypass graft, and systemic septic manifestations. One method to ensure adequate limb perfusion after removal of an infected aortofemoral graft is extra-anatomical bypass grafting. We used a minimally invasive, video-assisted approach to implant a crossover iliofemoral obturator bypass graft in a patient with infection of the left limb of an aortofemoral bifurcated graft. This appears to be the first case report describing the use of this technique. (+info)

Cryptococcal aortitis presenting as a ruptured mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm. (3/314)

Mycotic processes occasionally complicate atherosclerotic aortic disease and usually require aggressive surgical therapy to control sepsis and prevent arterial rupture. Rarely, fungal organisms are responsible for primary infection of the abdominal aorta. We report the first case of Cryptococcal aortitis presenting as a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. The surgical, pathologic, and microbiologic aspects of fungal aortitis are discussed. (+info)

Surgery after failed percutaneous renal artery angioplasty. (4/314)

PURPOSE: This retrospective review describes the surgical management of 51 patients after failed percutaneous renal artery angioplasty (F-PTRA). METHODS: From January 1987 through June 1998, 51 consecutive patients underwent surgical repair of either atherosclerotic (32 patients) or fibromuscular dysplastic (FMD; 19 patients) renovascular vascular disease after F-PTRA. These patients form the basis of this report. Surgical repair was performed for hypertension (29 patients with atherosclerosis: mean blood pressure, 205 +/- 34/110 +/- 23 mm Hg; 18 patients with FMD: mean blood pressure, 194 +/- 24/118 +/- 18 mm Hg) or ischemic nephropathy (20 patients with atherosclerosis: mean serum creatinine level, 2.0 +/- 0.8 mg/dL; three patients with FMD: mean serum creatinine level, 2.0 +/- 1.1 mg/dL). Emergency operation was required in four patients for acute renal artery thrombosis (one patient with atherosclerosis, one patient with FMD), renal artery rupture (one patient with atherosclerosis), or infected pseudoaneurysm (one patient with atherosclerosis). Operative management, blood pressure and renal function response to operation, and dialysis-free survival rate were examined and compared with 487 patients (441 patients with atherosclerosis, 46 patients with FMD) treated by operation alone. RESULTS: Among the patients with atherosclerotic renovascular disease, there were three postoperative deaths (9.4%) after repair for F-PTRA. Secondary operative repair was associated with emergent repair or nephrectomy in 16% of cases, while more extensive renal artery exposure and more complex operative management was required in 50% of patients with atherosclerosis and 65% of patients with FMD repaired electively. Among the 28 operative survivors with hypertension and atherosclerotic renovascular disease, blood pressure benefit after F-PTRA was significantly lower when compared with patients with atherosclerosis who underwent treatment with operation only (57% vs 89%; P <.001). However, blood pressure benefit in the 19 patients with FMD did not differ (89% vs 96%). Among the 28 patients with atherosclerosis, preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (EGFR) as compared with postoperative EGFR was significantly increased (47.4 +/- 4.2 mL/min/1.73m(2) vs 56. 6 +/- 5.1 mL/min/1.73m(2); P =.002). However, EGFR prior to PTRA was not significantly different from postoperative EGFR (51.6 +/- 3.4 mL/min/1.73m(2) vs 56.6 +/- 4.9 mL/min/1.73m(2); P =.121). As compared with patients with atherosclerosis who underwent treatment with operation alone, there was no difference in the dialysis-free survival rate. CONCLUSION: Operative repair after F-PTRA was altered in 59% of the patients with atherosclerosis and in 68% of patients with FMD. Blood pressure benefit for patients with FMD was unchanged after F-PTRA. However, the blood pressure benefit was significantly decreased among patients with atherosclerosis. Decreased EGFR after F-PTRA was recovered with operative renal artery repair. However, postoperative EGFR as compared with EGFR prior to PTRA was unchanged. Blood pressure and renal function response after F-PTRA for atherosclerotic renovascular disease warrants further study. (+info)

Disseminated coccidioidomycosis complicated by vasculitis: a cause of fatal subarachnoid hemorrhage in two cases. (5/314)

We describe two cases of disseminated coccidioidomycosis that were complicated by fatal subarachnoid hemorrhage. In the first case, a left middle cerebral artery aneurysm and long-segment vasculitis occurred. In the second case, MR imaging revealed an enlarging coccidioidal granuloma at the tip of the basilar artery, and the artery subsequently ruptured. Fatal intracranial hemorrhage is a rare complication of disseminated coccidioidomycosis. (+info)

Lumbar vertebral osteomyelitis with mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm caused by highly penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. (6/314)

We present a case of vertebral osteomyelitis with an adjacent abdominal aortic mycotic aneurysm caused by a highly penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae strain. The occurrence of all three phenomena in a single patient has not been previously described. This presentation offers the opportunity to reflect on the increasing incidence of S. pneumoniae as a resistant pathogen, the treatment of highly penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae, and the etiologic agents of both vertebral osteomyelitis and mycotic aneurysm.

Arterial reconstruction with deep leg veins for the treatment of mycotic aneurysms. (7/314)

PURPOSE: Mycotic pseudoaneurysms (MPA) remain challenging clinical problems. Primary surgical management includes control of hemorrhage and debridement of the infected arterial wall. Because critical ischemia may develop after arterial resection, revascularization has been a secondary goal of treatment. Standard anatomic graft placement or prosthetic bypass grafting has been compromised by a high rate of recurrent infection. Extra-anatomic reconstruction is preferred, with the basic goals being threefold: (1) the use of autogenous graft material to reduce the risk of reinfection; (2) the avoidance of significant size mismatches; and (3) graft placement that is anatomically inaccessible, because drug abuse causes many of these lesions. This study reviews a recent series of MPAs applying these treatment goals. METHODS: In a 2-year period, the superficial femoral and proximal popliteal veins were used in the repair of eight MPAs of the common femoral (5), common iliac (1), and brachial (1) arteries, and the infrarenal aorta (1). Most patients (5 of 7) were known intravenous drug users, who had a painful pulsatile mass in an injection area. Two patients had systemic sepsis, one patient with an infected common iliac pseudoaneurysm and one patient with an MPA of the infrarenal aorta. The diagnosis of MPA was made by means of duplex/computed tomography scanning and confirmed by means of arteriography in all cases. RESULTS: Obturator bypass grafting was performed by using a reversed deep leg vein in the five femoral MPAs. An ilioiliac, cross-pelvic bypass grafting procedure with a deep vein was used to repair an MPA of the common iliac artery. A deep vein was also used as a "pantaloon" aortobiiliac graft and for a brachial artery repair. Staphylococcus aureus was revealed by means of cultures in nearly all cases. Distal arterial perfusion was normal after reconstruction. Patients had no significant postoperative leg swelling. No new venous thrombosis below the level of deep vein harvest was revealed by means of duplex scanning. There were no septic complications. CONCLUSION: The superficial femoral/popliteal veins may be particularly useful for limb revascularization in patients with MPAs. This autogenous conduit provides an excellent size-match and a suitable length for reconstruction, because peripheral, axial arteries are generally affected. No clinically significant limb morbidity was related to deep vein removal. Late follow-up is challenging in such cases, but will be required to accurately determine the durability of this strategy.

Aortitis due to Salmonella: report of 10 cases and comprehensive review of the literature. (8/314)

We describe ten cases of aortitis due to Salmonella that were treated at the University of Toronto-affiliated Hospitals between 1978 and 1997. Predisposing conditions included hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and myelodysplastic syndrome. Main presenting symptoms were fever and abdominal and back pain. The most frequent site involved was the abdominal aorta, followed by the thoracic aorta. All but one patient were treated with intravenous bactericidal antibiotics; seven also underwent surgery, four with axillobifemoral grafts and three with in situ grafts. Four of seven patients died within 1 month of the surgical procedure (three patients with in situ grafts and one patient with axillobifemoral graft). We also reviewed the pathogenesis, clinical and laboratory characteristics, and treatment of 140 cases of aortitis due to Salmonella reported in the literature since 1948. The use of bactericidal antibiotics, together with early surgical intervention and long-term suppressive antibiotic therapy, has led to improved survival. (+info)
