Mycophenolate mofetil inhibits rat and human mesangial cell proliferation by guanosine depletion. (1/1180)

BACKGROUND: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is used for immunosuppression after renal transplantation because it reduces lymphocyte proliferation by inhibiting inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) in lymphocytes and GTP biosynthesis. In the present study we asked if therapeutic concentrations of MMF might interfere with mesangial cell (MC) proliferation which is involved in inflammatory proliferative glomerular diseases. METHODS: Rat and human MCs were growth-arrested by withdrawal of fetal calf serum (FCS) and stimulated by addition of FCS, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). Different concentrations of MMF (0.019-10 microM) were added concomitantly in the presence or absence of guanosine. MC proliferation was determined by [3H]thymidine incorporation. Cell viability was assessed by trypan blue exclusion. Apoptotic nuclei were stained using the Hoechst dye H33258. Cytosolic free Ca2+ concentrations were determined with the fluorescent calcium chelator fura-2-AM. RESULTS: MMF inhibited mitogen-induced rat MC proliferation with an IC50 of 0.45 +/- 0.13 microM. Human MCs proved to be even more sensitive (IC50 0.19 +/- 0.06 microM). Inhibition of MC proliferation was reversible and not accompanied by cellular necrosis or apoptosis. Addition of guanosine prevented the antiproliferative effect of MMF, indicating that inhibition of IMPDH is responsible for decreased MC proliferation. Early signalling events of GTP-binding-protein-coupled receptors, such as changes in intracellular Ca2+ levels were not affected by MMF. CONCLUSIONS: The results show that MMF has a concentration-dependent antiproliferative effect on cultured MCs in the therapeutic range, which might be a rationale for the use of this drug in the treatment of mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis.  (+info)

Prevalence of angiographic atherosclerotic renal artery disease and its relationship to the anatomical extent of peripheral vascular atherosclerosis. (2/1180)

BACKGROUND: Recognition of the possible presence of atherosclerotic renal artery disease (ARAD) is important because of its progressive nature, and because of the potential for precipitating an acute deterioration in renal function by administration of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of ARAD in patients undergoing peripheral angiography and its relationship to the extent of their peripheral vascular disease (PVD). METHODS: The reports of the 218 patients who underwent peripheral angiography to investigate PVD in one centre in a calendar year, and in whom it was possible to image the renal arteries, were analysed retrospectively. The presence of atherosclerotic disease in the renal, aortic, iliac, femoral and distal areas was recorded for each patient. RESULTS: The prevalence of ARAD was 79/218 (36.2%). The greater the number of atherosclerotic areas of the arterial tree, the higher the prevalence of ARAD. Patients with aortic disease and bilateral iliac, femoral and distal vessel disease had the highest incidence of ARAD 19/38 (50%). The incidence of ARAD in those with femoral artery atherosclerosis was significantly higher than in those without femoral artery atherosclerosis (42.1% compared with 9.7%, P=0.001 chi2). There was no significant difference in those groups with or without iliac and distal disease. None of the 11 patients with normal femoral and iliac arteries had ARAD. CONCLUSIONS: Renal artery atherosclerosis is a common occurrence in patients with PVD. If extensive PVD is recognized during aortography, a high flush should be considered to examine the renal arteries, if they are not included in the main study.  (+info)

Arterial damage induced by cryopreservation is irreversible following organ culture. (3/1180)

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to investigate the changes which occur to the arterial wall following cryopreservation and thawing and to determine whether these changes are reversible after a week of culture in an organ bath. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Rat iliac arterial segments were cryopreserved. Once thawed, the arterial segments were cultured for a period of 0, 1, 2, 4 or 7 days. Freshly isolated rat iliac vessels cultured for 7 days served as the control group. Evaluation was made of ultrastructural changes, the expression of metalloproteinase activity (MMP-1, MMP-3 and MMP-9) and the apoptotic state of cells. RESULTS: The freezing-thawing process induced damage to the arterial segments compared to fresh control vessels. After 1 week of culture, arteries showed a high degree of tissue degeneration. Only a few individual endothelial cells remained on the luminal surface. There was a gradual increase in the proportion of apoptotic cells. The sequential expression of MMP-1 during the first 2 days and subsequent expression of MMP-3 and MMP-9 were of most significance. CONCLUSIONS: Cryopreservation induced damage to the vessels which could not be reversed by organ culture. The changes observed in the expression of metalloproteinases may be indicative of the degenerative process which occurs in the extracellular matrix.  (+info)

Surgical transluminal iliac angioplasty with selective stenting: long-term results assessed by means of duplex scanning. (4/1180)

PURPOSE: The safety of iliac angioplasty and selective stenting performed in the operating room by vascular surgeons was evaluated, and the short- and long-term results were assessed by means of serial duplex scanning. METHODS: Between 1989 and 1996, 281 iliac stenotic or occlusive lesions in 235 consecutive patients with chronic limb ischemia were treated by means of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) alone (n = 214) or PTA with stent (n = 67, 23.8%). There were 260 primary lesions and 21 restenosis after a first PTA, which were analyzed separately. Stents were implanted in selected cases, either primarily in totally occluded arteries or after suboptimum results of PTA (ie, residual stenosis or a dissection). Data were collected prospectively and analyzed retrospectively. Results were reported in an intention-to-treat basis. Clinical results and patency were evaluated by means of symptom assessment, ankle brachial pressure index, and duplex scanning at discharge and 1, 3, 6, and every 12 months after angioplasty. To identify factors that may affect outcome, 12 clinical and radiological variables, including the four categories of lesions defined by the Standards of Practice Committee of the Society of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology, were analyzed separately. The statistical significances of life-table analysis of patency were determined by means of the log-rank test. RESULTS: There were no postoperative deaths or amputations. Local, general, and vascular complications occurred in 2.1%, 1.3% and 4.7% of cases, respectively (total, 8.1%). The mean follow-up period was 29.6 months. The cumulative patency rates +/- SE of the 260 PTAs (including 55 PTAs plus stents) were 92.9% +/- 1.5% at 1 month, 86. 5% +/- 1.7% at 1 year, 81.2% +/- 2.3% at 2 years, 78.8% +/- 2.9% at 3 years, and 75.4% +/- 3.5% at 5 and 6 years. The two-year patency rate of 21 redo PTAs (including 11 PTAs plus stents) was 79.1% +/- 18.2%. Of 12 predictable variables studied in the first PTA group, only the category of the lesion was predictive of long-term patency. The two-year patency rate was 84% +/- 3% for 199 category 1 lesions and 69.7% +/- 6.5% for 61 category 2, 3, and 4 lesions together (P =. 02). There was no difference of patency in the stented and nonstented group. CONCLUSION: Iliac PTA alone or with the use of a stent (in cases of occlusion and/or suboptimal results of PTA) offers an excellent long-term patency rate. Categorization of lesions remains useful in predicting long-term outcome. PTA can be performed safely by vascular surgeons in the operating room and should be considered to be the primary treatment for localized iliac occlusive disease.  (+info)

Disruption of skin perfusion following longitudinal groin incision for infrainguinal bypass surgery. (5/1180)

OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to investigate whether such an incision results in a reduction in blood flow, and therefore haemoglobin oxygen saturation, across the wound. DESIGN: Microvascular oxygenation was measured with lightguide spectrophotometry in 21 patients undergoing femoropopliteal or femorodistal bypass procedures. A series of measurements were made in the groin, medial and lateral to the surface marking of the femoral artery. The mean oxygen saturation on each side was calculated, and the contra-lateral groin was used as a control. The measurements were repeated at 2 and 7 days postop. RESULTS: Oxygen saturation in the skin of the operated groins was increased significantly from baseline at 2 days postop (f = 25.80, p < 0.001) and had begun to return to normal by day 7. The rise was more marked on the lateral side of the wound than on the medial (f = 12.32, p < 0.001). There was no such difference in the control groins. All wounds healed at 10 days. CONCLUSIONS: These results show a significant difference in skin oxygenation between the lateral and medial sides of the groin following longitudinal incision. This may contribute to the relatively high incidence of postoperative infection in these wounds.  (+info)

OBJECTIVES: To document the mechanism of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stenting of the iliac arteries, and to relate the effect to patency. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-seven stenotic iliac arteries were examined by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and arteriography before and after PTA, and after stent deployment (n = 16). The patients were followed prospectively by duplex scanning at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after the intervention. RESULTS: The effect of PTA was established by both compression and stretching with the major contribution arising from stretching. There were differences in the effect of PTA dependent on plaque morphology: in homogeneous eccentric lesions, stretching contributed significantly more than compression to the luminal gain, while stretching and compression contributed equally in concentric or heterogeneous plaques. Stenting of the arteries had no effect on the free luminal area as measured by IVUS. The primary 1-year patency rate was 72%. The patency was related to the free luminal area and diameter and the heterogenicity of the plaque as evaluated by IVUS. The arteriographic measurements did not have any predictive value. CONCLUSION: IVUS was able to document the effect of PTA and stenting in the iliac arteries, and predict the outcome. The luminal gain and reduction in degree of stenosis seemed to be accomplished primarily by stretching of the arteries and to a lesser extent by plaque compression. Stenting did not change the IVUS measurements. Patency was related to the size of the free lumen and the heterogenicity of the plaque.  (+info)

Specific interaction of oxidized low-density lipoprotein with macrophage-derived foam cells isolated from rabbit atherosclerotic lesions. (7/1180)

Interaction of oxidized LDL (OxLDL) with macrophage-derived foam cells is one of the key events in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. To study this interaction, macrophage-derived foam cells were isolated from rabbit atherosclerotic lesions and the expression of scavenger receptors for OxLDL was examined. Atherosclerosis was induced in rabbits by denudation of the large arteries, followed by a hypercholesteremic diet. Macrophage-derived foam cells, characterized by immunostaining with an RAM-11 antibody (a macrophage marker), contained a high content of intracellular lipid. Maximal binding of radiolabeled OxLDL to isolated macrophage-derived foam cells (1652+/-235 ng 125I-OxLDL/mg of cell protein) was 20-fold higher compared with Bmax values of monocytes. Levels of association of OxLDL to macrophage-derived foam cells isolated from atherosclerotic lesions 12 weeks after denudation were >3-fold higher compared with the levels expressed by macrophage-derived foam cells isolated after 6 weeks. Association of 125I-OxLDL could be completely blocked by OxLDL, and partially by acetylated LDL and polyinosinic acid, indicating the presence of a specific binding site for OxLDL on macrophage-derived foam cells. The induction of scavenger receptors for OxLDL on macrophage-derived foam cells during the development of atherosclerosis, as described in this study, may facilitate the lipid accumulation in macrophage-derived foam cells, as observed in advanced atherosclerotic lesions.  (+info)

Strong induction of members of the chitinase family of proteins in atherosclerosis: chitotriosidase and human cartilage gp-39 expressed in lesion macrophages. (8/1180)

Atherosclerosis is initiated by the infiltration of monocytes into the subendothelial space of the vessel wall and subsequent lipid accumulation of the activated macrophages. The molecular mechanisms involved in the anomalous behavior of macrophages in atherogenesis have only partially been disclosed. Chitotriosidase and human cartilage gp-39 (HC gp-39) are members of the chitinase family of proteins and are expressed in lipid-laden macrophages accumulated in various organs during Gaucher disease. In addition, as shown in this study, chitotriosidase and HC gp-39 can be induced with distinct kinetics in cultured macrophages. We investigated the expression of these chitinase-like genes in the human atherosclerotic vessel wall by in situ hybridizations on atherosclerotic specimens derived from femoral artery (4 specimens), aorta (4 specimens), iliac artery (3 specimens), carotid artery (4 specimens), and coronary artery (1 specimen), as well as 5 specimens derived from apparently normal vascular tissue. We show for the first time that chitotriosidase and HC gp-39 expression was strongly upregulated in distinct subsets of macrophages in the atherosclerotic plaque. The expression patterns of chitotriosidase and HC gp-39 were compared and shown to be different from the patterns observed for the extracellular matrix protein osteopontin and the macrophage marker tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase. Our data emphasize the remarkable phenotypic variation among macrophages present in the atherosclerotic lesion. Furthermore, chitotriosidase enzyme activity was shown to be elevated up to 55-fold in extracts of atherosclerotic tissue. Although a function for chitotriosidase and HC gp-39 has not been identified, we hypothesize a role in cell migration and tissue remodeling during atherogenesis.  (+info)

Oregon Surgical Specialists has prepared information about surgical procedures. These pages help patients prepare for surgery, find out what to expect after surgery, and how to care for yourself. Here are instructions for Abdominal Aortic and Iliac Artery Occlusive Disease.
The common iliac arteries are two large arteries that originate from the aortic bifurcation at the level of the fourth lumbar vertebra. They end in front of the sacroiliac joint, one on either side, and each bifurcates into the external and internal iliac arteries. They are about 4 cm long in adults and more than a centimeter in diameter. The arteries run inferolaterally, along the medial border of the psoas muscles to their bifurcation at the pelvic brim, in front of the sacroiliac joints. The common iliac artery, and all of its branches, exist as paired structures (that is to say, there is one on the left side and one on the right). The distribution of the common iliac artery is basically the pelvis and lower limb (as the femoral artery) on the corresponding side. Both common iliac arteries are accompanied along their course by the two common iliac veins which lie posteriorly and to the right. Their terminal bifurcation is crossed anteriorly by the ureters. Deep and superficial dissection of ...
In human anatomy, the iliac arteries are three arteries located in the region of the ilium in the pelvis: Common iliac artery - forms at terminus of the aorta External iliac artery - forms when the common iliac artery bifurcates, continues as the femoral artery at the inguinal ligament Internal iliac artery - forms when the common iliac artery bifurcates, supplies the perineum and sexual organs. Iliac ...
A 72-year-old man suffering from congestive heart failure, swelling of the lower limbs and hematuria was transferred from another hospital with a diagnosis of large aneurysms of the abdominal aorta and the left common iliac artery. Iliac arteriovenous fistula (AVF) was definitively diagnosed preoperatively by contrast-enhanced CT and angiogaphy. At operation, an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm of 8cm and left iliac arterial aneurysm of 12cm were identified. After proximal and distal aortic clamping, the aneurysm was entered and an AVF orifice of 1cm communicating with the left common iliac vein was disclosed at the right posterior wall of the left common iliac artery. Venous blood reflux was controlled by inserting an occlusive balloon catheter to the fistula and intraoperative shed blood was aspirated and returned by an autotransfusion system. The AVF was closed from inside the iliac aneurysm by three interrupted 3-0 monofilament mattress sutures with pledgets. The aneurysms were resected ...

A 67-year-old man with critical limb ischemia due to left common iliac artery (CIA) occlusion underwent endovascular treatment and stent deployment (Express LD, 8.0 × 37 mm and 8.0 × 17 mm, Boston Scientific, Natick, Massachusetts) (Figure 1). The symptoms of ischemia resolved after stent implantation; however, the patient felt pain while at rest in the left leg 3 years later. Angiography indicated a totally occluded left CIA at the stent site. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed that the stent in the left CIA was compressed by a spinal spur (Figure 2). We speculate that the following occurred. The spinal spur gradually compressed the balloon-expandable stent as the patient performed normal daily activities; eventually, it caused the stent to fracture, causing CIA reocclusion. We performed bypass surgery between the femoral arteries to obtain sufficient blood flow to the left leg, and the patients pain was relieved. Stent implantation for stenosis of the iliac arteries is an ...
The common iliac artery is located just to the left side of the body of the fourth lumbar vertebra, where the abdominal aorta divides into two arteries. These again divide as they descend from the end of the aorta and each divides, between the last lumbar vertebra and the sacrum, into the external iliac artery, which supplies blood to much of the lower limbs, and the internal iliac artery, which supplies Continue Scrolling To Read More Below... ...

PURPOSE To present a novel technique for endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) in patients with an occluded iliac artery on one side. TECHNIQUE In patients with an occluded iliac artery, the main body of a bifurcated modular endoprosthesis is deployed in standard fashion. Another stent-graft of a similar diameter is placed inside the deployed device so that the proximal end of the second endograft is a few millimeters caudal to the leading edge of the first device, which positions the second contralateral gate caudal to the flow divider of the first device. The second stent-graft is also rotated so that its contralateral gate is 180 degrees opposite to the contralateral gate of the first device. This stent-graft sandwich effectively mimics an aortomonoiliac device. After deployment of the second device, the attachment sites are dilated with appropriately sized balloons according to standard practice for the particular endoprostheses. CONCLUSIONS Endovascular AAA repair utilizing
Objectives To quantify the deformation of the common iliac artery caused by stiff guide wires and delivery systems during abdominal endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). Methods Twenty-two patients treated with abdominal EVAR were included. The following three image data-sets were acquired for each patient: (1) a preoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA), (2) an intraoperative contrast-enhanced cone beam CT (CBCT) obtained after the main trunk of the bifurcated stent graft was released and both iliac limbs were engaged with stiff guide wires, and (3) the first postoperative CTA. These data-sets were merged and compared in an image analysis work station. The length and the tortuosity index of the common iliac artery, the Euclidian displacement of the aortic and the iliac bifurcations, and the optimal C-arm angulation for projection of the iliac bifurcation were computed. Results The common iliac artery was on average 6.4 mm shorter (p < 0.001) and tortuosity index was lower (p = 0.003) in ...

Review of our experience with aortobifemoral, femorofemoral, and axillofemoral bypass identified consistently more isolated anatomic aortoiliac disease in women, but virtually indistinguishable levels of preoperative ischemia as measured by clinical and hemodynamic indices. The performance of each of these three methods of reconstruction did not appear to be affected by gender. Review of other investigators experience with these techniques as well as unilateral aortofemoral bypass, iliofemoral bypass, and PTBA did not find any evidence of discrepant performance of these latter techniques in women and men. This is in contrast to the results with infrainguinal reconstruction, which in our hands appear to be inferior in women. ...

Endovascular treatment of occlusive disease of the aortic bifurcation is challenging. We developed the Covered Endovascular Reconstruction of Aortic Bifurcation or CERAB-technique, as a new approach for extensive and/or recurrent aortoiliac occlusive disease using three covered balloon expandable stents to reconstruct the aortic bifurcation. This configuration provides the ability to deal with TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC II) C and D lesions, simulating a neo-bifurcation or flow divider in combination with the benefits of covered stents. The intervention can be performed percutaneously or as a hybrid procedure. Initial results are encouraging and further studies are indicated.. ...

Introduction: Iliac artery dissection without aortic involvement is a rare entity, with most cases associated with predisposing factors such as trauma, atherosclerosis, connective tissue disorders or vigorous exercise. The best treatment is not unanimous, and depends on the acuteness and severity of symptoms. Criteria for intervention include prevention of aneurysmatic degeneration, acute limb ischemia, inguinal pain and aneurysm rupture. Recent results using endovascular technique showed comparability with open repair, but there is paucity of data concerning long term results.. Methods: Relevant medical data were collected from hospital database.. Results: The patient is a 65 years old male, referred to the emergency department for abdominal pain in the left lower quadrant with inguinal irradiation. No signs or symptoms of acute limb ischemia were present. He had no previous history of connective tissue disease, cardiovascular risk factors, trauma or vigorous exercise. A CTA was performed, ...

Iliac artery cells are not exposed to phenol red, antimicrobials, or human VEGF when cultured in VascuLife low-serum EnGS medium.
Using ultrasound guidance, access was obtained into bilateral common femoral arteries and 7 Fr 23 cm sheaths were placed. On the left side, a guidewire was advanced and the distal under-expanded stent was treated with a 7 x 20 mm balloon, and subsequently, a 8 x 20 mm balloon at rated burst pressures. The stented segment showed no appreciable luminal gain. The balloon catheter was then removed.. Due to the concern for a similar suboptimal angiographic result for the newer more proximal lesion using the same balloon and stent strategy, the decision was made to modify the calcified plaque using orbital atherectomy prior to stent placement.. The guidewire was exchanged for a ViperWire Advance® guide wire in the left iliac artery. A peripheral Diamondback® 2.00 mm Solid Crown was used to perform atherectomy with one pass on medium and four passes on high speed. This was followed by post-dilation with an 8 x 20 mm balloon with full expansion. Kissing balloon angioplasty of bilateral proximal common ...

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for excluding a pathological defect such as an aortic aneurysm. By the disclosed method, a grafstent complex is advanced through each branch of the patients femoral and iliac system. The graftstent complex includes a segment of graft material attached at each end to a respective stent. The cephalic stents of each graftstent complex are positioned relative to one other in a common region of normal aortic tissue on one side of the aneurysm and then deployed. The caudal stents are deployed in the iliac arteries. Additional steps can be taken to ensure that the internal iliac artery is not blocked when the caudal stents are deployed ...
Of the 941 (mean age 44.27 ± 13.76 years, 34% female) enrollees from India, 224 (24%) demonstrated plaques in at least one of the four arterial sites examined; 107 (11%) had plaques in only the carotids, 70 (7%) in both the carotids and iliofemoral arteries, and 47 (5%) had plaques in only the iliofemoral arteries. Older age and male sex were associated with the presence of plaque, but association with systolic blood pressure was not observed. Data from two North American clinics (n = 481, mean age 59.68 ± 11.95 years, 39% female) showed that 203 subjects (42%) had carotid plaque; 82% of whom would not have qualified for lipid-lowering therapy under the Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III Guidelines.

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for treating bifurcations of the vascular system, such as abdominal aneurysms at the bifurcation of the aorta and iliac arteries. A tubular implant having a proximal section, a distal section and a hinged connection therebetween is positioned across the bifurcation such that the proximal section extends into a first iliac and the distal section extends into the second iliac. The proximal and distal iliac sections are both advanced superiorly, causing the implant to fold at the hinge and advance across the aneurysm into the aorta. In one implementation, restraining sleeves are thereafter removed and the implant self expands to place aorta in fluid communication with the first and second iliacs, bypassing the bifurcation. Deployment catheters are also disclosed.

PVR tracings are moderately abnormal throughout on the left. Segmental pressures and ABIs are in the moderate range. This study suggests mild iliofemoral or femoral-popliteal disease on the right and moderate iliofemoral disease on the left; aortoiliac disease (left worse than right) is also possible. Note the significant drop in the bilateral ABIs following exercise.. In a majority of patients with PAD, noninvasive physiologic testing is often sufficient for the clinician to make an adequate assessment of PAD presence and severity and begin medical treatment accordingly. In some cases, further imaging is needed for more detailed information regarding disease localization and severity.

Purpose: To present the first case of colonic ischemia (CI) after endovascular exclusion of an aortoiliac aneurysm using an iliac branch device (IBD). Case report: A 69-year-old male patient with an abdominal aortic and right common iliac artery aneurysm underwent endovascular repair with an IBD. Completion angiography demonstrated good patency in 2 of the 3 main branches of the right internal iliac artery (IIA) whereas the left IIA patency was preserved. Preoperatively, the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) was patent. Postoperatively, the patient presented moderate CI. He was treated conservatively and discharged 15 days later with recession of the symptoms. Conclusion: Although preservation of bilateral iliac artery patency is considered to diminish the incidence of pelvic ischemia, in case of an exclusion of a patent IMA, collaterals may not be adequate to ensure blood supply to the left colon ...
The external iliac artery provides the main blood supply to the legs. It passes down along the brim of the pelvis and divides into two large branches - the inferior epigastric artery and a deep circumflex artery. These vessels supply blood to the muscles and skin in the lower abdominal wall. The external iliac artery passes beneath the inguinal ligament in the lower part of the abdomen and becomes Continue Scrolling To Read More Below... ...

The gastroduodenal artery is tied and the donors common iliac artery Y graft is used to connect the pancreas graft arteries into one arterial stump. The native recipient pancreas is not removed.. A recipient midline laparotomy is performed. The graft is usually placed in the pelvis (similar to a kidney transplant), with the graft arterial Y graft implanted on the right common iliac artery and the pancreatic venous stump draining into the recipient IVC. If a SPK is performed, the kidney graft will then get implanted on the recipient left iliac vessels.. The non-physiological nature of the reconstruction results in insulin by-passing the hepatic first pass metabolism and hence can cause systemic hyperinsulinemia. Pancreatic exocrine drainage is handled by means of anastomosis between the graft duodenum (2nd part) and a small bowel loop, with or without a Roux-en-Y.. ...

Today, with the increasing experience and advances in graft technology, endovascular grafting is applied nearly to all levels of the aorta for the treatment of various aortic pathologies. The major route of the stent graft deployment is from the femoral region through the iliac arteries. Since both aneurysms and arterial occlusive diseases share atherosclerosis as the common ancestor of etiology, some patients may posses both aneurysms and stenosis together. These stenotic changes occurring in the iliac and femoral arteries may complicate the passage of the stent graft system. In this report, we sought to evaluate an alternative novel route of graft system application for endovascular treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms. ...
RADIOLOGY: AORTA: Case# 27: LEAKING ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM. 84-year-old male with a known abdominal aortic aneurysm who presents with severe abdominal pain. There is a very large abdominal aortic aneurysm which begins between the origin of the superior mesenteric artery and the renal artery and extends into the aortic bifurcation to involve the right common iliac artery. At its greatest dimensions, it measures 15.0 cm x 10.0 cm and contains a large amount of intramural thrombus. The aortic aneurysm is eccentric in location, residing more in the right side of the retroperitoneum. There is a moderate amount of hemorrhage within the right side of the retroperitoneum surrounding the aneurysm consistent with subacute hemorrhage. No active arterial extravasation is identified at this time. Abdominal aortic aneurysms usually occur in the setting of atherosclerotic disease but may be caused by syphilis, by extension of a dissection from above, or by connective tissue disorders such as Takayasus arteritis

Results. The frequencies of -108T allele, which determine lower paraoxonase level, were similar in the groups of AAA (0.462) and AIOD (0.479) patients. The lower surgical repair age in patients in both groups was significantly associated with smoking and the higher levels of total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC), and triglicerides (TG) and values of TC/HDLC. In the AAA group the same negative relation was noted with BMI index. The higher values of %HDLC display the protective effect on AAA/AIOD progression. In the AIOD group positive relations were also seen with HDLC/LDLC index and diabetes. Associations between high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) fraction and age of AIOD repair were stronger in -108T allele carriers. Age of AAA surgical repair was independently related to smoking and TG level, and age of AIOD surgical repair was independently related to smoking, diabetes and TC level. These effects were stronger in PON1-108CC homozygotes ...

[more ▼]. OBJECTIVE: To determine postoperative and long-term outcome and assess the relevance of abdominal ultrasound (US) after surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) or aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD). METHODS: Records of 1704 consecutive patients having graft implantation from 1988 to 2000, either for AAA (n = 1144) or for AIOD (n = 560), were reviewed. In 2006, follow-up was 9180 patients-years for the AAA group and 5450 patients-years for the AIOD group. Among 1006 alive patients, 377 were invited randomly for US and clinical examination. RESULTS: Hospital death occurred in 99 patients (8.6%) of the AAA group (53% in ruptured and 2% in elective AAA), and in 18 patients of the AIOD group (3.2%). There were 581 late deaths, ...
METHODS: A series of 9 patients of a mean age of 48 years, operated on for compression of the ilio-femoral venous axis is reported. The cause of obstruction was external compression in 3 cases, a retroperitoneal sarcoma in 1 case, and an infrarenal aortic aneurysm in 2. Two patients presented with a Cocketts syndrome, 3 with a chronic ilio-femoral thrombosis, and one with a post-traumatic segmentary stenosis. Treatment consisted in a resection/Dacron grafting of 2 infrarenal aortic aneurysms, one femoro-caval bypass graft, 2 transpositions of the right common iliac artery in the left hypogastric artery for Cocketts syndrome, 3 Palmas operations for chronic thrombosis, and one internal jugular vein interposition for segmentary stenosis ...
Iliac artery atherosclerotic disease may cause intermittent claudication and critical limb ischemia. It can lead to serious complications such as infection, amputation and even death. Revascularization relieves symptoms and prevents these complications. Historically, open surgical repair, in the form of endarterectomy of bypass, was used. Over the last decade, endovascular repair has become the first choice of treatment for iliac arterial occlusive disease. No definitive consensus has emerged about the best endovascular strategy and which type of stent, if any, to use. However, in more advanced disease, literature is most supportive of primary stenting with a balloon-expandable stent in the common iliac artery. Recently, a PTFE-covered balloon-expandable stent (Advanta V12, Atrium Medical Inc., Hudson, NH) has been introduced for the iliac artery. Covering stents with PTFE has been shown to lead to less neo-intimal hyperplasia and this might lower restenosis rates. However, only one RCT of ...

First introduced about two decades ago as a bailout technique for suboptimal or failed iliac angioplasty, peripheral vascular stenting gradually emerged as a valuable and versatile tool for a variety of primary and adjuvant applications within non-coronary vasculature. First introduced about two decades ago as a bailout technique for suboptimal or failed iliac angioplasty, peripheral vascular stenting gradually emerged as a valuable and versatile tool for a variety of primary and adjuvant applications within non-coronary vasculature. Today, peripheral vascular stenting techniques are commonly employed in the management of the most prevalent occlusive circulatory disorders and other pathologies affecting abdominal and thoracic aortic tree and lower extremity arterial bed. Stents are also increasingly used in the management of the debilitating conditions like venous outflow obstruction associated with deep venous thrombosis and chronic venous insufficiency. Peripheral vascular systems include ...
The Particulars: The short-term safety of covered stents has been evaluated in previous research. However, investigations into the long-term safety and patency of covered stents are lacking.. Data Breakdown: For a study, researchers analyzed 174 patients who received covered stents as an intervention for their iliac arteries. The average long-term follow-up was 43 months (ranging from 6 to 84 months). Of the 38 deaths observed during follow-up, none were related to the covered stent procedure or the device. Late occlusion occurred in two patients, and there were no amputations. Clinical patency was 99.4% at 46 months.. Take Home Pearl: Covered stents appear to be safe and have superior long-term clinical patency in the iliac arteries. ...

With a selective antagonist, the specific contribution of the alpha-1D adrenoceptor (AR) to vascular smooth muscle contraction has been assessed. BMY 7378 bound to membranes expressing the cloned rat alpha-1D AR with a , 100-fold higher affinity (K1 = 2 nM) than binding to either the cloned rat alpha-1A AR (Ki = 800 nM) or the hamster alpha-1B AR (Ki = 600 nM). BMY 7378 exhibited differential potency in inhibiting vascular smooth muscle contraction. In the rat aorta and iliac artery, BMY 7378 was a high-affinity antagonist, producing parallel shifts in the phenylephrine concentration-response curve. The dissociation constants for this compound by Schild analysis were 0.95 and 4 nM for the aorta and iliac artery, respectively. The slopes of these Schild plots were not significantly different from unity. BMY 7378 was a weak antagonist in the rat caudal, mesenteric resistance and renal arteries, with Schild slopes significantly , 1. With ribonuclease protection assays, alpha-1D mRNA was found in ...

The peritoneum along the right side of the rectosigmoid junction is incised lateral to the inferior mesenteric and superior hemorrhoidal vessels (Figure 6). This incision extends down to the pouch of Douglas. The right ureter is identified beneath the residual peritoneum, and its course over the iliac vessels is exposed with blunt gauze dissection. The proximal bowel is retracted anteriorly and laterally. Alternatively, the proximal division of the bowel and vascular pedicles can be completed allowing the proximal end of the specimen to be moved around to aid visualization (Figure 11). If the tumor is very large, this should be avoided at this point, as it commits one to an excision prior to complete mobilization of the tumor. The superior hypogastric nerves are visualized just below the iliac vessels and the ureters. The dissection proceeds behind the superior hemorrhoidal vessels toward the entrance of the presacral space behind the sacral promontory. Division of the retrosacral fascia or ...

Although experimental autologous patch or tubular conduit vascular grafts made from the internal rectus fascia sheath (IRFS) have been reported in the literature, thorough morphological evaluation and verification of the histological arterialisation of such grafts are lacking. Four purpose-bred Beagle dogs were utilised to create eight arterial internal rectus fascia sheath (ARFS) grafts implanted between bisected ends of the external iliac arteries. Four out of the eight ARFS grafts were patent after three months. Haematoxylin-eosin and Azan staining verified that the grafts gained a vessel-like layered structure with the presence of large amounts of collagen fibres. Although the inner surface of the intact IRFS was originally covered with claudin-5-negative and pancytokeratin-positive mesothelial cells in control samples, the internal cells of the ARFS grafts became claudin-5 positive and pancytokeratin negative like in intact arteries. Spindle-shaped cells of the wall of ARFS grafts were ...

CT is the pillar of noninvasive diagnosis of RPF, as it allows evaluation of RPF location, extent and effect on adjacent organs and vascular structures. The typical findings are a well-delimited but irregular soft-tissue mass that is isodense to the surrounding muscles and extends from infra-renal aorta to the iliac vessels, wrapping the great vessels but sparing their posterior aspect. The centre of the mass is generally at the level of the aortic bifurcation and it often envelops the IVC and the ureters (causing medial deviation of the latter). The degree of soft tissue enhancement after contrast administration correlates with the activity of the fibrotic process [1, 2 ...
