Occluded infrainguinal reconstructions.

Abstract

The causes of failure of infrainguinal arterial reconstruction vary with the method of reconstruction used. The commonest cause of autogenous vein-graft failure is myointimal hyperplasia of the graft itself. The commonest cause of polytetrafluoroethylene-graft failure, on the other hand, appears to be a myointimal hyperplastic lesion of the artery at, or just beyond, the distal anastomosis of the graft. Strategies for dealing with these two forms of graft failure, including the use of thrombolytic therapy, are discussed.

Leiomyosarcoma of the superior mesenteric vein: a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.

We report here a case of a very rare entity, a leiomyosarcoma of the mesentericoportal trunk, which was initially misdiagnosed as an unresectable pancreatic cancer invading the mesenteric vein, and which was finally treated by pancreatectomy with mesentericoportal reconstruction. The pitfalls of diagnosis and modalities of resection are discussed.

The evidence for cerebral protection: an analysis and summary of the literature.

It has been considered likely that the majority of cerebral ischaemic episodes following carotid artery stenting are due to cerebral embolisation. It is intuitive therefore, to attempt to prevent these presumptive emboli, whether they are comprised of air or formed elements, from reaching the brain. Various pharmacological and mechanical solutions are being used. The available literature is hampered by comparisons against historical controls of unprotected CAS with many confounding variables that may influence outcome. There is no clinical Level-I evidence to support the use of protection devices but Level-III and Level-IV evidence suggest benefit.
