ObjectiveTo study the effectiveness of tibial transverse transport combined with the antibiotics embedded bone cement in the treatment of chronic infection of foot and ankle with lower extremity ischemic diseases.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 28 patients with ischemic diseases of lower extremities associated with chronic foot and ankle infection who were treated with tibial transverse transport combined with antibiotic bone cement between August 2015 and October 2019. There were 22 males and 6 females, with an average age of 65.6 years (range, 41-86 years). There were 25 cases of diabetic foot, 2 cases of arteriosclerosis obliterans, and 1 case of thromboangiitis obliterans. The course of infection ranged from 1 to 27 years, with an average of 14.9 years. The healing condition and time of foot and ankle in all patients were recorded and compared, and the Wagner grading and WIFi (W: lower extremity wound classification; I: ischemic classification; Fi: foot infection classification) grading were compared before and at last follow-up.ResultsThe wound surface of 1 diabetic foot patient improved at 111 days after operation, without purulent secretion, and lost follow-up. The remaining 27 cases were followed up 5 to 21 months (mean, 8.4 months). There was no necrosis in the tibial osteotomy incision and the local flap. After operation, 21 cases showed needle reaction of external fixator, but the needle infection gradually improved after the corresponding treatment. Among the 24 patients with diabetic foot, 1 died of multiple organ failure due to pulmonary infection. Acute lower extremity vascular embolism occurred in 1 case, and the foot was amputated due to acute gangrene. In the remaining 22 cases, the wound healing time of foot and ankle was 2.5-11.0 months (mean, 4.6 months). At last follow-up, Wagner grading and WIFi grading of the patients were significantly improved when compared with those before operation (P<0.05). One patient with thromboangiitis obliterans had foot and ankle healing at 6 months after operation. Two patients with lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans had foot and ankle healing at 16 and 18 months after operation, respectively.ConclusionTibial transverse transport combined with the antibiotics embedded bone cement is effective in treating chronic infection of foot and ankle with lower extremity ischemic diseases.

ObjectiveTo explore the technique experience and short- term and long-term effect of endovascular treatment on aorioiliac artery occlusive disease.MethodsClinical data of 131 patients were admitted for aorioiliac artery occlusive disease in the Department of Vascular Surgery of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Cedical University in recent years were analyzed.ResultsAll the 131 patients underwent surgical operation, including 5 cases of pure catheterization (CDT); 94 cases of balloon dilatation and stent implantation; 23 cases which combind CDT, balloon dilatation, and stent implantation; 3 cases of pure balloon dilatation and 6 complicated cases of hybrid surgery. The mean operative time was 90 minutes, mean hospitaliztion time was 5 days. There were 6 cases occurred complications during perioperative period, including 3 cases of hematoma, 1 case of retroperitoneal hematoma, 1 case of acute transient ischemic attacks (TIA), and 1 case of pulmonary infection. There were 113 patients were followed-up for 1–32 months, and the median time was 16 months, the follow-up rate was 86.3% (113/131). During the follow-up period, 2 patients died, 1 died of myocardial infarction and 1 died of multi-organ failure. The one-year patency rate was 89.3% (100/112). During the follow-up period, 13 patients relapsed, including 5 patients who underwent secondary stent implantation, 1 patient who underwent CDT and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), and 7 patients who received conservative treatment due to mild symptoms.ConclusionsThe treatment of aorioiliac artery occlusive disease still needs to choose reasonable measures according to the lesions, and even several measures should be combined to simplify the lesions, lower risk and receive better effect.
【Abstract】 Objective To analyze the influencing factors of no-reflow phenomenon after reperfusion in patients with chronic limb ischemia associated with acute thrombosis. Methods Between January 2009 and December 2010, 59 patients (67 limbs) with chronic limb ischemia associated with acute thrombosis were treated. According to whether the no-reflow phenomenon occurred or not, the patients were divided into no-reflow group (19 patients, 21 limbs) and reflow group (40 patients, 46 limbs). Logistic regression was used to analyze the roles of ischemia time, ischemia extent, smoking, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, surgical procedure, platelet count, fibrinogen (FBG), prostaglandin I2 (PGI2), and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) on no-reflow phenomenon after reperfusion. Results The results of the logistic regression analysis indicated that ischemia time (OR=7.196; 95%CI: 1.679-27.960), ischemia extent (OR=5.116; 95%CI: 1.399-109.338), smoking (OR=6.893; 95%CI: 3.704-2 291.003), diabetes (OR=3.864; 95%CI: 1.009-421.702), PGI2 (OR=7.985; 95%CI: 1.001-1.043), and TXA2 (OR=7.643; 95%CI: 1.011-1.065) were the high risk factors of no-reflow phenomenon. The levels of TXA2 and FBG in no-reflow group were significantly increased and the level of PGI2 was decreased, showing significant differences when compared with the reflow group (P lt; 0.05). However, no significant difference was found in the platelet count between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion Ischemia extent and ischemia time are the main influencing factors of no-reflow phenomenon after reperfusion in patients with chronic limb ischemia associated with acute thrombosis, and the patients combined with smoking or diabetes are high risk population of the no-reflow phenomenon. Postoperative patients with no-reflow phenomenon are at a hypercoagulable state in vivo, in which prostacyclin plays an important role.
ObjectiveTo discuss the effectiveness of femoral-femoral artery bypass grafting combined with transverse tibial bone transporting in treatment of lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) or combined with diabetic foot. MethodsBetween March 2014 and June 2016, 9 patients with lower extremity ASO or combined with diabetic feet were treated with femoral-femoral artery bypass grafting and transverse tibial bone transporting. All patients were male, aged from 63 to 82 years with an average of 74.2 years. The disease duration of ASO was 1.5-22.0 months (mean, 10.5 months). All cases were severe unilateral iliac arterial occlusion, including 5 cases of the left side and 4 cases of the right side. There were 7 cases with superficial femoral and/or infrapopliteal artery disease. There were 7 cases of ASO and 2 cases of ASO combined with diabetic foot (Wagner grade 4); all the ASO were grade Ⅳ according to Fontaine criteria. All patients had rest pain before operation, and the ankle brachial index was 0.24±0.12. In femoral-femoral artery bypass grafting operations, artificial blood vessels were used in 7 cases and autologous saphenous vein were used in the other 2 cases. The tibial bone transverse transporting began on the 8th day after operation by 1 mm per day and once per 6 hours; after transported for 2-3 weeks, it was moved back. The whole course of treatment was 10-14 weeks. ResultsThe incision of tibial bone transverse transporting was necrotic in 1 case, and healed after dressing change. There was no obvious complication at the orifice of the needle. The other patients had no incision complication. The granulation tissue of foot wound was growing quickly after tibial bone transverse transporting, and the wound was reduced after 2-3 weeks. All the 9 patients were followed up 12-32 months (mean, 19 months). The ankle brachial index was 0.67±0.09 at 2 months postoperatively, which was significantly higher than that before operation (t=17.510, P=0.032). All the feet ulcer wounds healed and the healing time was 6.7-9.4 weeks (mean, 7.7 weeks). During follow-up, color Doppler ultrasound or CT examination revealed grafted blood vessel patency. The external fixator was removed at 12-14 weeks after operation. One case died of sudden myocardial infarction at 14 months after operation, and there was no lymphatic leakage. The patency rate of femoral-femoral bypass was 100% at 1 year after operation. The tibial transverse bone grafting healed with tibia at 4-6 months after operation. At last follow-up, the effective rate was 100%. ConclusionFemoral-femoral artery bypass grafting combined with transverse tibial bone transporting is an effective method in the treatment of lower extremity ASO or combined with diabetic foot.
