La Sindrome Compartimentale Addominale (ACS) dopo chirurgia dell'Aneurisma dell'Aorta Addominale (AAA)
2009
Introduction: The Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS) is a “condition in which increased tissue pressure in a confined anatomic space, causes decreased blood flow leading to ischaemia and dysfunction and may lead to permanent impairment of function” Materials and Methods: between june 2007 and june 2008 we treated surgically 23 cases of AAA (14 in election and 9 in emergency), with indirect intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) monitoring (intra-vescical catheter). Mean age was 68 (64-84) years. Mean transverse diameter was 6,2 cm (min 5,5 e max 9,0). Rise in IAP more then 20 mmHg was considered for surgical decompression. In 1 case we registered preoperatively IAP more than 20 mmHg treated with …
A Single-Center Experience on Below-The-Knee Endovascular Treatment in Diabetic Patients
2020
Diabetic ulceration of the foot is a major global medical, social and economic problem and is the most frequent end-point of diabetic complications. A retrospective analysis from February 2017 to May 2019 of diabetic patients presenting below-the-knee artery disease (PAD) was carried out. Only patients treated with endovascular techniques as first choice treatment were evaluated. Outcome measured was perioperative mortality and morbidity. Freedom from occlusion, secondary patency and amputation rate were all registered. Additional maneuvers including stenting or angioplasty with drug eluting balloon (DEB) were reported. A total of 167 (101 male/66 female) patients with a mean age of 71 year…
Endovascular Treatment with Drug-Eluting Balloon for Severe Subclavian Artery Stenosis Involving the Origin of the Vertebral Artery
2020
The first line approach for subclavian steal syndrome is PTA-stenting of subclavian artery. When the ipsilateral vertebral artery origin is involved or in closed proximity of the atherosclerotic lesion in the subclavian artery PTA-stenting is at risk of ipsilateral vertebral artery coverage. Herein we report our experience with DEB to address lesions involving the subclavian artery and the origin of the ipsilateral vertebral artery. From January 2017 to February 2019, patients presenting subclavian artery lesion involving the origin of the ipsilateral vertebral artery and treated using primary DEB, were included. Three patients, with left subclavian steal syndrome, were identified. The peri…
