Use of the SAND balloon catheter for safe and easy laparoscopic removal of adrenal cysts

Tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) which has a high affinity for fibrin in the clot, was labeled with 131I by the iodogen method, and its binding to de-endothelialized lesions in the rabbit was measured to assess the detectability of thrombi. The de-endothelialized lesion was induced in the abdominal aorta with a Fogarty 4F balloon catheter. Two hours after the de-endothelialization, 131I-labeled t-PA (125 ± 46 μCi) was injected intravenously. The initial half-life of the agent in blood (n = 12) was 2.9 ± 0.4 min. The degree of binding of 131I-labeled t-PA to the de-endothelialized lesion was evaluated at 15 min (n = 6) or at 30 min (n = 6) after injection of the agent. In spite of the retention of the biochemical properties of 131I-labeled t-PA and the presence of fibrin deposition at the de-endothelialized lesion, the binding of t-PA to the lesion was not sufficiently strong. Lesion-to-control ratios (cpm/g/cpm/g) were 1.65 ± 0.40 (at 15 min) and 1.39 ± 1.31 (at 30 min), and lesion-to-blood ratios were 1.39 ± 0.32 (at 15 min) and 1.36 ± 0.23 (at 30 min). These results suggest that radiolabeled t-PA may be inappropriate as a radiopharmaceutical for the scintigraphic detection of a pre-existing thrombotic lesion.

SummaryTwenty-seven adult male New Zealand rabbits (3–4 kgs) were used in this study. Six rabbits received vehicle, 3 groups of 6 each received doses of 4,5-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)- thiazole, (U-53,059), at 0.3 mg/kg, 3.0 mg/kg and 30.0 mg/kg/day respectively. Drug and vehicle doses were given orally each day starting 3 days before balloon injury and continuing for the entire 2 week time period. Three rabbits were used as nontreated sham controls. In the vehicle and U-53,059 treated groups aortae were denuded of endothelial cells by balloon catheter injury. Two weeks after injury platelet aggregation to collagen was measured and the aortae removed for analysis of surface characteristics by scanning electron microscopy and lesion size by morphometry. All doses of U-53,059 inhibited platelet aggregation. The 3.0 and 30.0 mg/kg groups had the greatest inhibitory effect. All balloon injured aortae had the same morphologic characteristics. All vessels had similar extent and intensity of Evan’s blue staining, similar areas of leukocyte/platelet adhesion, and a myointimal cell cover of transformed smooth muscle cells. The myointimal proliferative response was not inhibited at any of the drug doses studied.

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains a significant contributor to maternal morbility and mortality and accounts for 31% of maternal death in Vietnam. The most common cause of PPH is uterine atony. Recently, uterine tamponade using intrauterine condom appears to be an effective tool in the management of intractable PPH. Objectives: To evaluate the success of condom as a tamponade to arrest intractable PPH due to uterine atony in patients not responding to medical management. Materials and Methods: The study was designed as a cross-sectional and descriptive, included 32 patients who underwent condom balloon tamponade at Kontum Provincial Hospital from 1/2012 to 8/2016. Results: 32 women (mean age 25.71 ± 6.45 years range, 16 - 39) underwent condom balloon tamponade for PPH controls. 29 patients (90.62%) successfully responded the tamponade therapy by the use of condom catheter. Three patients (9.37%) required hysterectomy. Conclusions: Condom catheter balloon effectively controls the intractable PPH due to uterine atony.

Pancreatic Artery

The dorsal pancreatic artery is a part of peripancreatic arcade connecting celiac artery to transpancreatic artery. A dorsal pancreatic artery aneurysm derived from dissection of celiac artery is a rare pathology, and it sometimes requires ingenious strategy in an endovascular surgery. Hereby, we report a case of a patient who underwent coil embolization for dorsal pancreatic artery aneurysm due to celiac artery dissection by applying transcirculation approach of a balloon catheter through the peripancreatic arcade, which was successfully achieved.

Laparoscopic Removal

Abstract Background Although involvement of the urinary system is not uncommon, endometriosis in the kidneys is rare. To date, laparoscopic partial nephrectomy has been the preferred approach for managing renal endometriosis. Here, we report for the first time the results of laparoscopic removal of a renal capsular endometriosis in a malrotated kidney in an attempt to save the whole kidney parenchyma, in terms of feasibility and safety. Case presentation A 37-year-old female presented with periodic right flank pain associated with her menstrual cycle. On imaging, a malrotated right kidney and a hypodense irregular-shaped lesion measuring 30 * 20 * 15 mm were seen in the superior portion of the right perinephric space. Histologic evaluation of the ultrasound-guided biopsy was consistent with renal capsular endometriosis. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery to remove the capsular mass while preserving the normal renal parenchyma. Pathological examination of the biopsy obtained during surgery was in favor of renal endometriosis. At 6-month follow-up, the patient’s pain had completely disappeared and no complications had occurred. In addition, imaging did not show any remarkable recurrence. Conclusion Renal endometriosis should be strongly considered as a differential diagnosis in female patients with a renal capsular mass and exacerbation of flank pain during menstruation. Based on our experience, with preoperative needle biopsy and clearing the pathology, laparoscopic removal of the mass in spite of renal anatomic abnormality is feasible and safe and thus could be considered as a possible treatment option.
