Irreducible Femoral Hernia

These two cases of successful treatment of a rare vascular disorder – cystic adventitial disease (CAD). Case 1: CAD of the popliteal artery with narrowing of the popliteal artery and intermittent claudication. Case 2: CAD of iliac vein with irreducible femoral hernia formation and iliac vein subocclusion. We described preoperative planning, surgical intervention and postoperative management in our cases. Surgery after careful preoperative planning is only one effective method of treatment of CAD and has good long-term results.

Stent Stenosis

Background: Advances in stent technology have widened the field of indications for stent treatment of femoro-popliteal artery lesions, however the use of stents in bending arterial segments is restricted because some first- and second-generation nitinol stent designs did not respond well to the mechanical forces of femoro-popliteal segments in motion which pose a substantial risk of stent fracture inducing in-stent-stenosis. New generation nitinol stents are supposed to overcome these limitations but long-term results are rare. Patients and methods: In forty-five patients (mean age 68 y, range 50 - 85) with peripheral arterial disease (TASC II A-C, Rutherford category 2 - 5) forty-six lesions of the superficial femoral artery (37) or popliteal artery (9) were treated [25 high-grade stenoses, mean length 53 mm (range 30 - 145 mm); 21 chronic total occlusions, mean length 74 mm (range 30 - 180 mm)]. 74 % of lesions were located in the mobile bending arterial segments in the distal femoral or the popliteal segment. Clinical reevaluation performed at discharge, at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months included at least the measurement of ankle-brachial index (ABI) and duplex sonography. Results: Procedural success rate was 100 %. At 6, 12, 24, and 36 months, cumulative primary patency rate was 93.5 %, 84.8 %, 80.5 %, and 74.3 % (SE<10); freedom from target lesion revascularization rate was 95.7 %, 89.2 %, 84.9 %, and 79.3 % (SE<10); Rutherford category and ABI improved in all patients and clinical success was maintained in more than 85 % of patients. Conclusions: Sustained technical and clinical success and good clinical long-term results were achieved with Misago™ nitinol stent implantation in femoro-popliteal lesions with moderate risk for in-stent-stenosis, and in the distal femoral and popliteal mobile segment.

Object The goal of this report was to describe the safety and effectiveness of nucleus ventralis intermedius (VIM) thalamotomy performed with the Leksell Gamma Knife (GK) for the treatment of essential tremor (ET). Methods One hundred seventy-two patients underwent a total of 214 VIM thalamotomy procedures with the Leksell GK between February 1994 and March 2007 for treatment of disabling ET. Eleven patients were lost to follow-up less than 1 year after the procedures, so that in this report the authors describe the results in 161 patients who underwent a total of 203 thalamotomies (119 unilateral and 42 bilateral). Results There were statistically significant decreases (p < 0.0001) in tremor scores for both writing and drawing. The mean postoperative follow-up duration for all patients was 44 ± 33 months. Fifty-four patients have been followed for more than 60 months posttreatment. There were 14 patients who suffered neurological side effects that were temporary (6) or permanent (8), which accounted for 6.9% of the 203 treatments. All complications were related to lesions that grew larger than expected. Conclusions A VIM thalamotomy with the Leksell GK offers a safe and effective alternative for surgical treatment of ET. It is particularly applicable to patients who are not ideal candidates for deep brain stimulation but can be offered to all patients who are considering surgical intervention for ET.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of the surgical repair of popliteal artery aneurysms (PAAs), and to analyze the factors associated with graft patency. Between January 1980 and December 2013, 45 limbs were subjected to open surgical repair at Tokyo Medical and Dental Hospital. We retrospectively examined the patients' clinical characteristics, clinical symptoms, and aneurysm-related anatomy. Surgical procedures were performed through a posterior or medial approach using autologous vein or prosthetic graft. Surgical outcomes were evaluated by postoperative mortality, postoperative morbidity, graft patency, and limb salvage. During the study period, 45 limbs (35 patients; mean age, 60 years) underwent open surgical repair. A total of 25 limbs were treated through a posterior approach using 23 autologous vein grafts (AVGs) and 2 expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) grafts. The other 20 limbs were treated through a medial approach using 13 AVGs and 7 ePTFE grafts. During the mean follow-up period of 65 months, the primary patency rates at 1, 3, and 5 years were 88.0%, 75.7%, and 75.7%, respectively, and the limb salvage rates at 1, 3, and 5 years were 97.1%, 91.4%, and 91.4%, respectively. In the univariate analysis, the ligation and bypass grafting affected the primary patency rate significantly, and the ePTFE graft was associated with a poor primary patency in the multivariate analysis (hazard ratio, 17.8). The use of resection or endoaneurysmorrhaphy for PAAs and graft interposition with an AVG might be more effective for the open repair of PAAs.

Experience in surgical treatment of 112 patients with malunited fractures of distal radius epimetaphysis is presented. Indication to surgical intervention was fragments consolidation with displacement that was accompanied by marked wrist joint deformity and hand function disturbance. In all patients osteotomy and bone plasty were performed followed by application of distraction device. In the postoperative period dosed distraction of bone fragments up to their complete reposition and rehabilitation treatment was performed. Long term results were assessed for all 87 patients: good result was achieved in 67 (77%), satisfactory - in 17 (19.5%) and poor - in 3 (3.5%) patients.

Treatment results for 61 patients with diaphyseal fractures of long bones of the extremities are presented. Fractures of the humerus were diagnosed in18 (29.5%) patients, femur - in 22 (36.1%) and tibia - in 21 (34.4%) patients. In most cases fractures of A1, A2, A3 and B1 were observed. For osteosynthesis blocking and non-blocking Fixion intramedullary nails were used. Long-term results (1 - 1.5 years) were analyzed for 42 patients and showed excellent and good results in 93% of patients. Nonunion and deformity was observed in 7% of observations. The advantages of the technique included low traumatization, short duration of surgical intervention, minimum (up to 200 ml) blood loss.
