[A shunting method in the aortoiliac segment].

Abstract

Results of various kinds of reconstructive interventions in 237 patients with atherosclerotic occlusions of the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries are described. Shunting operations and prostheses in the aortoiliac segment in 76% of the patients give prolonged and considerable improvement of blood circulation in lower extremities. The most favorable results were obtained in patients who had been subjected to reconstructive operations on the aortoiliac segment with transprosthesis aortotomy not requiring an exclusion of the aorta and iliac arteries from blood circulation. There were no severe complications and lethal outcomes in this group of patients. The amount of thromboses decreased markedly, intestinal pareses were less frequent, the volume of blood transfusions became less and operations shorter.

Revival of the side-to-side approach for distal coronary anastomosis.

Side-to-side anastomosis was employed by just ten proportional stitches while performing distal anastomosis during coronary artery surgery. This technique is simple and quick. Here this simple technique is described in detail and the postoperative status of grafted conduits is reported.

Review article: Indeterminate colitis--definition, diagnosis and management.

BACKGROUND: The term indeterminate colitis is imprecise and without a generally accepted definition. Nevertheless, it is a term that is commonly used by gastroenterologists, pathologists and surgeons. AIM: To offer an opinion supported by published data, about the appropriate use of the term indeterminate colitis by addressing a series of questions. METHODS: A PubMed database search was performed using the keywords, 'colitis' and 'inflammatory bowel disease' each combined individually with the following adjectives: 'indeterminate', 'unclassified', 'undefined', 'undiagnosed' and 'non-specific'. RESULTS: There is no generally accepted definition of indeterminate colitis. All current applications of the term rely on exclusionary criteria and there is no confirmatory diagnostic test. Nevertheless, the diagnosis of indeterminate colitis appears to be durable in a subgroup of patients, suggesting that this group represents a unique phenotype. CONCLUSIONS: Indeterminate colitis has expanded from a strictly defined, postcolectomy pathological diagnosis to become, in addition, a clinical diagnosis without generally accepted criteria. A diagnosis of indeterminate colitis should be qualified with descriptors for the diagnostic criteria applied.

Acellular dermal matrix grafts for prevention of microarterial thrombophlebitis.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the role of acellular dermal matrix grafts for prevention of microarterial anastomotic thrombophlebitis. DESIGN: Bilateral femoral artery microvascular anastomoses were created in the field of established wounds infected with Staphylococcus aureus in 12 rats. In each animal, 1 femoral microarterial anastomosis was wrapped with an acellular dermal matrix graft, and the contralateral femoral anastomosis was left unprotected. The incidence of femoral artery thrombosis was determined after 4 days by wound reexploration. SETTING: David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: The patency of femoral artery anastomoses was determined after 4 days by wound reexploration. RESULTS: The incidence of femoral artery thrombosis in vessels wrapped with acellular dermal matrix grafts was 17%. The incidence of femoral artery thrombosis in unprotected vessels was 100%. This difference was statistically significant (P<.05). CONCLUSION: Acellular dermal matrix grafts seem to have a protective effect in the prevention of acute thrombophlebitis when arterial microvascular anastomoses are performed in infected surgical fields.
