紫杉醇药物涂层球囊成形术治疗症状性椎动脉开口处狭窄的疗效

目的 探讨紫杉醇药物涂层球囊（P-DCB）成形术治疗症状性椎动脉开口狭窄的安全性和有效性。方法 回顾性分析2017 年12月至2019年6月经P-DCB成形术治疗的43例症状性椎动脉开口处狭窄的临床资料。结果 所有病人均完成介入治疗，成功率为100%。术后即刻狭窄率[（12.03±2.15）%]较术前[（86.32±10.26）%]明显降低（P<0.05）。围手术期发生动脉夹层1例，无其他并发症。随访12~16个月，平均13.5个月；症状改善43例，无变化例，症状改善率为95.3%（41/43）；全部病人接受DSA或CTA随访，随访狭窄率[（16.1±3.12）%]与术后即刻无统计学差异（P>0.05）；5例发生再狭窄，再狭窄率为11.6%。结论 P-DCB成形术治疗椎动脉开口狭窄具有较好的临床疗效。     

Tuberculous osteomyelitis of tibial diaphysis following saphenous vein graft harvest for coronary artery bypass: a case report

Tuberculosis in the tibial diaphysis following saphenous vein graft harvest for coronary artery bypass grafting has not been reported, to the best of authors’ knowledge. We report the first such clinical case in view of its clinical rarity and as a complication of the simple procedure like saphenous vein graft harvest.     

Thinned-out skin paddle versus collagen matrix as an optimized peri-implant soft tissue following fibula osteoseptocutaneous free flap: 3-year retrospective study

The objective of this study was to compare the implant longevity following two methods of peri-implant soft tissue optimization following free fibula flap (FFF): thinning of skin paddle (SP) and collagen matrix (CM). All patients who underwent rehabilitation with dental implants after mandibular reconstruction with FFF between June 2009 to May 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Two methods of peri-implant soft tissue optimization were applied: (1) SP group, (2) CM group. Outcome measurements were: modified plaque index (mPI), modified sulcus bleeding index (mSBI), probing depth (PD), marginal bone loss (MBL), implant success rate and complication rates. A total of 24 patients with 69 implants were included in the study, with 8.7% (n = 6) of implants lost in 3 years. No statistically significant difference was found regarding the outcome measurements in both groups. Failed implants presented with statistically significant higher mPI, mSBI, PD and MBL scores during prosthesis delivery and subsequent follow-ups (P<0.03). In the SP group, one patient experienced SP necrosis which later underwent soft tissue optimization using CM. CM is an alternative peri-implant soft tissue, while thinning of SP is feasible if thickness is well controlled.
