Objective To analyze the clinical features of patients with acute pulmonary embolism ( APE) with normal blood pressure and right ventricular dysfunction. Methods 130 hospitalized patients with normotensive APE between January 2009 and January 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients underwent transthoracic echocardiography to determine if they were complicated with RVD. The clinical features, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment were analyzed and compared between the normotensive APE patients with or without RVD. Results 41 normotensive APE patients with RVD were as RVD group, and other 89 patients without RVD were as non-RVD group. The incidences of syncope ( 34.1% vs. 7.8% ) , tachycardia( 41.4% vs. 21.3% ) , P2 hyperthyroidism( 46.3% vs. 25.8% ) , jugular vein filling ( 12.1% vs. 1.1% ) , and cyanosis ( 26.8% vs. 8.9% ) were all significantly higher in the RVD group than those in the non-RVD group ( P lt; 0.05) . Computed tomography pulmonary angiography ( CTPA) revealed that the incidences of thromboembolism involving proximal pulmonary artery ( 58. 3% vs. 8. 3% ) and thromboembolism involving lobar pulmonary ( 77.8% vs.51.2% ) were also higher in the RVD group ( P lt; 0.001, P = 0.025 ) . In the RVD group, the patients were assigned to received thrombolysis plus anticoagulation therapy, or anticoagulation therapy alone. The clinical indicators ( heart rate, PaCO2 , AaDO2 , SPAP, TRPG) were all statistically improved after thrombolysis or anticoagulation treatment ( P lt;0.001) . But compared with the patients who underwent anticoagulation therapy alone, the cost of treatment and the incidence of minor bleeding were significantly higher, and the levels of AaDO2 , SPAP and TRPG were statistically lower in the patients with thrombolysis plus anticoagulation therapy. Conclusions For APE patients with central pulmonary embolism demonstrated by CTPA, syncope, and tachycardia, transthoracic echocardiograph should be performed as early as possible to confirm RVD diagnosis. For normotensive APE patients with RVD, anticoagulant treatment can achieve higher efficacy of costeffectiveness ratio.
Objective To compare the efficacy of reteplase and ateplase in the treatment of acute massive pulmonary thromboembolism ( PTE) in emergency. Methods From January 2005 to December 2009,42 patients with acute massive PTE were treated by intravenous thrombolysis with reteplase or ateplase. The thrombolysis efficacy, bleeding incidence and mortality were measured. Results In the reteplase group, the emergency thrombolysis effective rate was 88. 9% among 18 patients. Mild bleeding occurred in 3 patients,moderate bleeding in 1 patient, and 2 cases died in hospital. In the ateplase group, the emergency thrombolysis effective rate was 75% among 24 patients. Mild bleeding occurred in 3 patients, moderate bleeding in 2 patients, and 3 cases died in hospital. The thrombolysis effective rate, bleeding incidence and mortality had no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion Both the reteplase and ateplase thrombolysis therapy are safe and effective in the treatment of acute massive PTE, but reteplase thrombolysis therapy is more convenient in emergency.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of early use of heparin for thrombolytic therapy in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). MethodsThe Chinese databases involving VIP, CNKI, WanFang Data, CBM and foreign language databases including PubMed and The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2013) were electronically searched from inception to January 2013. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on early use of heparin in the treatment of AMI were included. Two reviewers assessed the quality of each trial and extracted data independently according to the Cochrane Handbook. RevMan5.2 software was used for statistical analysis. ResultsA total of 23 RCTs involving 2 697 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the heparin group was superior to the control group in increasing of the rate of coronary artery recanalization, decreasing the time of recanalization, reducing the rate of re-infarction and the death rate, and decreasing the time of ST-T fell for 50%, the time of enzyme peak showed and the time of chest pain relief. There had no significant difference observed in the incidence of adverse reaction between the two groups. ConclusionIt is effective to use heparin before thrombolytic therapy in AMI.
目的探讨广泛门静脉血栓形成（portal vein thrombosis，PVT）的诊治经验。 方法回顾性分析笔者所在医院2004年1月至2012年12月期间收治的7例广泛PVT患者的临床资料。 结果按Yerdel’s分级7例患者属Ⅲ～Ⅳ级；男4例，女3例；年龄28～54岁，中位年龄45岁；起病至就诊时间4～10 d，平均6.9 d。表现为上腹痛3例，全腹痛、腹胀4例，血便2例，休克1例，腰背痛1例，恶心、呕吐3例。查体：有腹膜炎体征3例，左下腹压痛1例，腹水征阳性3例，肠鸣音消失2例，减弱1例。2例行D-二聚体检查均升高。所有患者超声检查均提示门静脉血栓形成、累及肠系膜上静脉。给予抗凝、祛聚、溶栓等基础治疗；1例经肠系膜上动脉导管溶栓，2例手术切除坏死肠管，其中1例同时行脾切除术。1例术后发生肠瘘，经保守治疗治愈；3例患者发生门静脉高压性胃肠病，口服普萘洛尔治疗。 结论早期行血浆D-二聚体及影像学检查，尽早行抗凝治疗，无禁忌时行溶栓或介入治疗以及实时手术治疗，PVT患者可有较好的预后。
Objectives To study the relationship between matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and hemorrhagic transformation (HT) in ischemic stroke patients and provide evidence for the further clinical studies, thrombolytic therapy selection, and application of MMP inhibitors to clinical practice to extend the windows for thrombolytic therapy. Methods The studies on relationship between MMP-9 and hemorrhagic transformation in ischemic stroke were identified, in which HT was followed-up based on plasma level of MMP-9 or comparison of plasma level of MMP-9 was conducted based on HT or not, regardless of language of publication and type of design. MEDLINE (1966-Jan. 2006), EMBASE (1966-Apr. 2006), CNKI (1977-Feb.2006), and Wanfang database (1989-2005) were searched and the references lists of eligible studies were manually searched. Two reviewers independently evaluated the quality of studies and extracted data. The data were analyzed using the RevMan 4.2. and SPSS11.0 softwares. Results Six trials fulfilled the inclusion criteria, including 558 patients, 130 of them developed hemorrhagic transformation. The heterogeneity between studies was statistically significant; (Plt;0.0001). We didn’t pool the data of studies of plasma MMP-9 level. Most of the studies showed that the plasma MMP-9 level in HT or in a certain type of HT was higher than that in non-HT patients. The result of subgroup analysis showed that the plasma MMP-9 level was independently associated with HT, summary OR=14.45, 95%CI (4.90, 43.65). Conclusions The values of plasma MMP-9 in HT or in a certain type of HT are higher than that in non-HT. MMP-9 may independently be a risk of hemorrhagic transformation. The sample size of the included studies is small. So the conclusions need to be confirmed with further studies.
Objective To make an evidence-based remedy for a patient with cerebral veins and sinuses thrombosis (CVST), who had an unsatisfactory response to routine treatment. Methods We searched the Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2005), PubMed (1966 to 2005), CNKI (1979 to 2005) and VIP (1989 to 2005) to identify systematic reviews (SRs), randomized controlled trials (RCTs), controlled clinical trials (CCTs) and prospective cohort studies about efficacy and safety of anticoagulants and thrombolysis therapy for CVST. Results We found 1 systematic review, 3 RCTs and 8 prospective cohort studies about anticoagulation therapy and 2 SRs and 1 CCT about thrombolysis therapy. Routine anticoagulation and thrombolysis for patients with CVST are not recommended due to insufficient evidence. Anticoagulation appeared to be safer and could prevent pulmonary embolism. According to the current evidence, the patient’s status and will, anticoagulants were given. His symptoms relieved and he had no subsequent hemorrhages or pulmonary embolism. Conclusion Patients with CVST should receive anticoagulation treatment with monitoring of de novo hemorrhages and the index of hemostasis and coagulation. Large-sample RCTs comparing the effect and safety of anticoagulant with placebo and RCTs comparing the effect and safety of anticoagulation therapy with that of endovascular thrombolysis therapy in high-risk patients are needed.
目的 探讨血管介入治疗在急性动脉缺血性肠病早期阶段的价值及应用方法。方法 笔者所在医院2005年8月至2011年12月期间共收治急性动脉缺血性肠病患者9例，其中2008年以前的6例行传统开腹手术治疗，2008年以后的3例患者，在短期内确诊并及时进行了溶栓或取栓治疗。结果 开腹手术治疗的6例患者中，行单纯肠系膜上动脉取栓1例，单纯坏死肠管切除3例，肠系膜上动脉取栓加坏死肠管切除2例；手术后1周内死亡2例（死于多脏器功能衰竭），半年后因短肠综合征死亡1例。行介入治疗的3例患者中，行经导管溶栓治疗2例，球囊取栓加溶栓治疗1例；术后均恢复良好，顺利出院； 术后分别随访6个月、9个月和2年，其中1例术后9个月因脑梗塞死亡。结论 血管介入治疗在急性动脉缺血性肠病的早期诊治方面具有明显的优势，一旦有可疑患者，应迅速进行影像学和血液学方面的检查以明确诊断，非创伤性血管成像技术（CTA）和血管造影（DSA）被认为是最有价值的诊断方法。明确诊断后，专业的血管外科医师的早期干预可以明显改善患者的预后。
