Endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic anastomotic pseudoaneurysm. The experience of two centers.

2012

INTRODUCTION: Abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysms are a rare but serious complication of aortic surgery. Treatment with traditional open surgery is associated with a high rate of perioperative mortality and morbidity. Endovascular treatment is less invasive and guarantees lower mortality and morbidity rates. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of short-, medium- and long-term endovascular treatment of these pseudoaneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Over the past 10 years, 14 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms, which developed after prior aortic surgery, underwent endovascular treatment involving implantation of an endoprosthesis at our institutions. Exclusion criteria were emerg…

Surgical repair of popliteal artery aneurysms remains a safe treatment option in the endovascular era: a 10-year single-center study

2012

Introduction: Endovascular popliteal artery aneurysm repair has emerged recently as a feasible alternative to standard surgical repair. However the evidence from the literature is still limited, with only case reports, case series and one small randomized trial. Currently these data suggest the use of stent-grafts in patients at very high surgical risk. The purpose of this study is to present our surgical experience in popliteal artery aneurysm repair in an era of endovascular philosophy. Materials and Methods: Data from 36 consecutive patients who were admitted to our hospital from January 2000 to April 2010, were analyzed retrospectively. Twenty-six patients underwent surgical treatment t…

FISSIT (Fistula Surgery in Italy) study: A retrospective survey on the surgical management of anal fistulas in Italy over the last 15 years

2021

Background: Surgical treatment of anal fistulas is still a challenge. The aims of this study were to evaluate the adoption and healing rates for the different surgical techniques used in Italy over the past 15 years. Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective observational study of patients affected by simple and complex anal fistulas of cryptoglandular origin who were surgically treated in the period 2003–2017. Surgical techniques were grouped as sphincter-cutting or sphincter-sparing and as technology-assisted or techno-free. All patients included in the study were followed for at least 12 months. Results: A total of 9,536 patients (5,520 simple; 4,016 complex fistulas) entered the stu…

Intraoperative cell salvage in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms

2010

Aim. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of intraoperative cell salvage (ICS) on the early outcome after open repair (OR) of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA). Methods. This is a retrospective review of 73 consecutive patients who underwent emergency OR of infrarenal rAAA with ICS between 2005 and 2008 (Group I), compared to 51 repairs from 2002-2004 with no ICS (Group II). In addition, a transfusion protocol of platelets and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) administration on admission and during surgery was adopted in patients in Group I to maintain coagulation competence. Results. ICS reduced bank blood demand by 63.6% (from 11 to 4 units, P<0.001) compared to controls, and …

A popliteal artery aneurysm presenting with ab extrinseco popliteal vein occlusion and compartment syndrome

2012

INTRODUCTION: Aneurysms of popliteal artery are the most frequently reported aneurysm after abdominal aorta. An unusual presentation is compression to adjacent structure. CASE PRESENTATION: A 67 years old caucasian man presenting deep vein thrombosis signs to the right leg including functional impotence was admitted in emergency setting to Vascular Surgery Unit. A pulsing mass was present in the popliteal cave at inspection. The computed tomography angiography demonstrated a 53.2 mm popliteal artery aneurysm causing an ab extrinseco compression of the popliteal vein and a dislocation of popliteal nerve. A surgical open reconstruction with a reinforced Dacron graft was performed via a poster…

The erythropoietin and regenerative medicine: a lesson from fish

2009

Background Erythropoietin (EPO), the main haematopoietic growth factor for the proliferation and differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells, is also known for its angiogenic and regenerative properties. Materials and methods In this study, we aimed to test the regenerative effects of EPO administration in an experimental model of Sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) subjected to amputation of the caudal fin. Results Erythropoietin-treated fishes (3000 UI of human recombinant EPO-alpha immediately after cutting and after 15 days) showed an increased growth rate of their fins compared with those untreated (ANOVA variance: P :0 AE01 vs. P :0 AE04). By analysing fin length at established times (1…
