Abstract:

Introduction: vascular closure devices (VCD) for over 20 years have been used as an alternative to manual compression to achieve hemostasis. Despite the fact that clinical efficacy and safety of occlusive type VCD have been confirmed in a number of studies, their use remains controversial due to the formation of complications at the access site when using these devices.

Aim: was to estimate possible advantages and limitations of vascular closure devices of occlusive type (Angio-Seal) in patients, who had underwent percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) via femoral access in comparison with traditional manual hemostasis.

Material and methods: data of 231 adult patients who underwent therapeutic endovascular procedures in the City Hospital named after M.P. Konchalovsky, Research and Development Center for Preventive Medicine were selected for retrospective research. The main group, with hemostasis after PCI with Angio-Seal (Terumo) obturating device, consisted of 113 patients, control group - included 118 patients with manual hemostasis. Subjective sensations (pain, numbness, etc.), complication rate, hemostasis time, immobilization and hospitalization duration were evaluated.

Results: success of using VCD was 98.23%, complication rate in the main group was 4.37%, in the control group - 6.78% (however, it was not reliable). The time of hemostasis (2.1 min versus 22.25 min), immobilization (3.5 hours versus 20.6 hours) and hospitalization (4 days versus 8 days) significantly decreased, and the patient comfort level was significantly higher in the main group.

Conclusions: the use of Angio-Seal VCD in patients after percutaneous transfemoral therapeutic endovascular procedures is an effective way to reduce hemostasis time in comparison with using of manual compression; allows to reduce patient's immobilization period, significantly increases patient comfort, and reduces patient's hospital stay.

Along with this procedure, it should be considered as an independent surgical intervention and surgeon should follow all necessary rules and stages of its implementation, should control result of hemostasis.

Abstract:

This article deals with the role of arterio-venous conflicts in case of varicocele development in children. As varicocele is a widespread disease, it is important to investigate the etiology of hemodynamic disturbances in renotesticular (RTT) and ileotesticular (ITT) fields in patients with varicocele. The number of procedures registered in Russian State Pediatric Hospital (Moscow) is more than 1600 including primary and recurrent cases. Pathophisiology of the disease is not quite clear, but hemodynamic changes in RTT and ITT were thoroughly investigated. Left renal vein compression between upper mesenterial vein and aorta causes renal venous hypertension in 24% of cases. In most cases etiology of varicocele was primary valve insufficiency. Ileofemoral vericocele is rare and occurs as a result of common iliac vein flow disturbance. Endovascular procedures should be performed only after diagnostic hemodynamic study, and should not be used in pediatric practice.

Abstract:

Aim. Was to demonstrate our experience of using the stent-assistant technology for treatment of thromboembolic complication during endovascular procedures in extra- and intracranial arteries.

Materials and methods. Five patients with thromboembolic complication were successfully treated using stent-assistant technology In one case thromboembolic complication appeared during stenting of ICA, another - during performing of diagnostic cerebral angiography In 3 cases thromboembolic complications appeared during endovascular occlusion of intracranial artery. In four cases we used stent Solitaire (Covidien) in one case - Enterprise (Codman).

Results. In all cases we achieved full restoration of blood flow in intracranial vessels. Three patients were discharged without any neurological deficit. Two patients were discharged with minimal neurological deficit (mRS 1).

Conclusion. Stent-assistant technology can be successfully used in treatment of thromboembolic complications during endovascular procedures in extra- and intracranial arteries.

Abstract:

Case report of successful endovascular treatment of pseudoaneurysm of common hepatic artery (patient underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy, cholecystectomy with lymph node dissection in treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma) is presented.

Materials and methods: patient E., 61 year. In anamnesis: ulcer disease for the period of 8 years. In 2013, gastric adenocarcinoma T4N0M0 had been revealed and in January 2014 patient underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy, cholecystectomy with lymph node dissection D2. Postoperative period was complicated by thrombosis of left branch of portal vein, external biliary fistula, left subdiaphragmatic abscess with further drainage. During CT-angiography - adenoma of left adrenal gland and aneurysm of proper hepatic artery were revealed. Selective angiography revealed aneurysm of common hepatic artery in middle third, sized 10x20 mm. Patient underwent double-staged treatment. Primary patient underwent embolization of aneurysm with Azur-18 coils, but aneurysm cavity had incomplete thrombosis. As a second stage patient underwent stent-graft implantation in hepatic artery.

Results: stent implantation was uncomplicated, aneurysm was excluded from blood flow. Patient was discharged in good condition, without any additional operation. Control angiography was performed in 3 months and thrombosis of stent with collateral blood flow were revealed.

Abstract:

Revascularization strategy definition in acute coronary syndrome in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease is a significant problem of modern intervention cardiology Aim: was to evaluate effectiveness of special PC programs «Sapphire 2015 - Right dominance» and «Sapphire 2015 - Left dominance» designed to the revascularization strategy definition ir acute coronary syndrome patients.

Materials and methods: revascularization strategy of 50 acute coronary syndrome patients was analyzed. In all cases the revascularization strategy was defined by the group of intervention cardiologists with the help of independent experts and special PC programs «Sapphire 2015 - Right dominance» and «Sapphire 2015 - Left dominance». Experts-, physicians-, and soft- based revascularization strategies were compared among themselves.

Results: complete coincidence between expert-based and soft-based revascularization strategies was registered in 66% patients and the incomplete coincidence - in 32% patients. Complete mismatch between expert-based and soft-based revascularization strategies was registered in 2% patients. The complete coincidence between physicians-based and soft-based revascularization strategies was registered in 42% patients and the incomplete coincidence - ir 52% patients. Complete mismatch between physicians-based and soft-based revascularization strategies was registered in 6% patients

Conclusion: as well as experts, special PC programs «Sapphire 2015 - Right dominance» and «Sapphire 2015 - Left dominance» provide success in the revascularization strategy definition 1г acute coronary syndrome patients with multivessel coronary artery disease.

Abstract:

Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) proved to be safe and effective alternative to surgical treatment of abdominal aortic aneurism (AAA). Type II endoleaks development is the most frequent complication after EVAR that increases the rate of reinterventions and it is need to be treated in the case of aneurysm sac growth for rupture prevention. We present long-term results of the first case in our hospital of endovascular type II endoleak treatment. One month after EVAR of big AAA in high-risk patient type II endoleak on computer tomography (CT) was seen. 16 month after patient complained on lumbar and abdominal pain, expansion of endoleak size was seen on CT To prevent aneurysm sac rupture we performed endoleak' embolization with coil and micro-particles with good result during follow up period more than 3 years. Total follow-up period is more than 5 years, all elements of endograft are stable, aneurysm cavity decreased in diameter on 23 mm. Endovascular techniques for AAA treatment and for the treatment of it's possible life-threating complications are effective and safe during long-term follow-up period.
