62例急性肠系膜上动脉栓塞的诊断和治疗

目的探讨急性肠系膜上动脉栓塞的临床表现及早期诊断和治疗方法。方法回顾性分析62例急性肠系膜上动脉栓塞患者的临床资料。结果术前确诊22例(35.5%)。62例患者均行肠系膜上动脉切开取栓,58例患者行坏死肠管切除术,其中35例患者行多次肠管切除术。术后16例患者死亡(25.8%)。术后随访3～24个月。结论肠系膜上动脉栓塞误诊率高,病死率高。对心律失常特别是房颤、心脏瓣膜病及既往有急性动脉栓塞病史患者突发剧烈腹痛,应警惕肠系膜上动脉栓塞可能。肠系膜上动脉切开取栓是治疗急性肠系膜上动脉栓塞缩小肠管切除范围有效方法。     

急性原发性肠系膜上静脉血栓形成17例临床诊治分析

目的:探讨急性原发性肠系膜上静脉血栓形成(APSMVT)的临床诊断与治疗。方法:回顾性分析我院1998年至2007年收治的17例APSMVT的临床资料。结果:17例病人(100%)均有持续性渐行加重的腹痛,常见伴随症状有恶心呕吐(82%)、消化道出血(53%)、肠梗阻(53%)、发热(59%)等。11例(65%)腹腔穿刺获血性腹水。17例均行超声检查,1例术前明确诊断;14例CT检查中2例增强扫描后得以确诊,12例平扫可见间接征象。16例行坏死肠段切除手术及抗凝治疗,其中3例首次剖腹探查未见异常,在症状未缓解或加重后再次手术发现肠坏死并行肠切除。2例病人行经皮肝穿刺肠系膜上静脉导管溶栓治疗,1例血栓复发者行肠系膜上动脉导管溶栓后治愈。3例术后因脓毒症死亡。结论:APSMVT术前诊断困难,对不明原因急性剧烈腹痛者应及时怀疑本症,早期发现、早期治疗方能提高本病的治愈效果。病程早期可采用介入溶栓疗法,后期出现肠坏死征象者应及时手术,并予以抗凝治疗。     

Surgical management of chronic intestinal ischemia: a reappraisal

Fifty-six patients with chronic intestinal ischemia underwent surgical revascularization. All patients had abdominal pain, 98% experienced significant weight loss, and 75% had an abdominal bruit. Visceral artery occlusive disease was documented by angiography in all patients; 77% of our patients had multiple-vessel occlusive disease, and 23% had single-vessel involvement of either the celiac or the superior mesenteric artery. The mortality rate was 8.9%. Ninety-six percent of the survivors were completely relief of symptoms, but an overall late recurrence rate was noted in 26.5%. Fifty-nine percent of our patients underwent revascularization of all stenotic vessels. Complete revascularization in multiple-vessel disease resulted in a late recurrence rate of 11%. When two of three stenotic vessels were revascularized, there was a 29% recurrence rate, and when one of three stenotic vessels was revascularized, there was a 50% recurrence rate. These findings suggest that although single-vessel revascularization may relieve symptoms, the optimal long-term result can be obtained by complete revascularization of all stenotic vessels.     

Revascularization in treatment of mesenteric infarction.

This study compares results of primary revascularization with primary intestinal resection in treatment of acute mesenteric artery occlusion in 48 surgical patients. All cases were verified by surgical exploration, angiography or autopsy. Fifteen occlusions were caused by mesenteric thrombosis and 33 by superior mesenteric artery embolization. Primary revascularization was done in 6 of 15 patients with arteriosclerotic mesenteric thrombosis. Total bowel salvage was achieved in 4 patients but no patient with mesenteric thrombosis treated by any method survived long term. Primary embolectomy was done in 11 patients with superior mesenteric artery embolization. Ttoal bowel salvage was achieved in 8 patients. Three of 11 patients died. Primary exploration and/or resection was done in 11 patients; 9 died. All 11 umoperated patients died. A continuation of attempts at mesenteric revascularization is advocated.     

Atherosclerotic occlusive disease of the superior mesenteric artery: Late results of reconstructive surgery

Between 1975 and 1988, 103 patients underwent reconstruction of the superior mesenteric artery for atherosclerotic occlusive disease. Patients undergoing revascularization with associated mesenteric infarction were excluded. There were 89 men and 14 women whose mean age was 57.2 years. Six patients were operated on emergently for impending mesenteric infarction; six patients underwent revascularization after intestinal resection for ischemic lesions; 20 patients had typical abdominal angina; 39 patients had nonspecific abdominal symptoms, and 32 patients underwent revascularization of their superior mesenteric artery for asymptomatic lesions. Revascularization of the celiac axis and inferior mesenteric artery was associated in 36 and four cases, respectively. Four patients (4%) died postoperatively. Four early occlusions (4%) were observed. During the follow-up period (mean=69 months), 18 patients died; five patients had recurrent intestinal ischemic symptoms, four of whom died. All surviving patients underwent follow-up duplex scanning, examination, and arterial or venous digitalized angiograms in selected cases. Nine patients (9%) had anatomical abnormalities: two stenoses and seven occlusions. Failure of revascularization of the superior mesenteric artery was observed in patients with severe initial intestinal ischemia. Late complications were not statistically significantly related to the different techniques of revascularization used.

Distal thoracic aorta as inflow for the treatment of chronic mesenteric ischemia

PURPOSE: Mesenteric revascularization for chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) traditionally involves antegrade or retrograde bypass graft originating from the supraceliac or infrarenal aorta. The distal thoracic aorta (DTA) may provide a better inflow source than the abdominal aorta. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results with the DTA used as inflow for the surgical treatment of CMI. METHODS: All patients undergoing mesenteric revascularization for CMI with grafts originating from the DTA were identified from 1990 to 1999. A ninth interspace thoracoretroperitoneal incision was used for exposure, and distal aortic flow was maintained by use of a partial occlusion clamp. RESULTS: Eighteen consecutive patients with CMI underwent mesenteric bypass grafting with the DTA used as inflow. All patients were admitted with chronic abdominal pain or weight loss, with two (12%) requiring urgent revascularization because of acute exacerbation of chronic symptoms. Fourteen (78%) patients had both celiac and superior mesenteric artery bypass grafts placed, and three (17%) patients had superior mesenteric artery grafts alone. There was one (6%) perioperative death and three (17%) major complications. There was no kidney failure, mesenteric infarction, or spinal cord ischemia. The life-table survival rate was 89%, 89%, and 76% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. All 18 patients remained symptom free and required no additional procedures to assist patency. There was no evidence of graft stenosis or occlusion (100% patency) for those grafts evaluated objectively during the mean follow-up of 34.8 months (range, 1-97 months). CONCLUSIONS: Antegrade mesenteric revascularization with the DTA used as inflow is associated with low morbidity and mortality rates. Furthermore, it provides excellent midterm patency and survival results and should be considered as a primary approach for reconstruction of patients with CMI.     

Surgical treatment of chronic mesenteric arterial insufficiency

The treatment of 41 patients with chronic mesenteric insufficiency is reviewed: 20 men and 21 women with a mean age of 59 years were treated and observed for an average of 42 months. Thirty-one patients had symptoms of intestinal angina whereas 10 patients underwent prophylactic revascularization during other aortic operations. All but one patient had revascularization of the superior mesenteric artery, alone or in combination with another revascularization. Various surgical techniques were used, including retrograde bypass in 24 patients, antegrade bypass in 11 patients, and endarterectomy in the remaining six patients. Seven patients had acute abdominal symptoms and required emergency operation while in the hospital awaiting elective revascularization. There were two deaths in the perioperative period (4.9%), both caused by bowel necrosis. Six patients are known to have had late revascularization failure, resulting in recurrent symptoms in three patients and two subsequent deaths. All patients who remained asymptomatic after late graft failure had undergone multiple vessel revascularization; no patient revascularized prophylactically had symptoms of intestinal angina during the follow-up period. Early mesenteric revascularization is a safe and effective method of relieving the symptoms of chronic visceral ischemia and may prevent the development of fatal bowel necrosis.     

Long-term results of the surgical management of symptomatic chronic intestinal ischemia.

We analyzed our surgical experience in 20 patients who underwent revascularization procedures for symptomatic chronic intestinal ischemia caused by atherosclerosis. The group comprised 17 women and 3 men, with an age range of 25 to 71 years (mean 58.6 years). Sixteen patients had postprandial abdominal pain, and 4 had pain not related to eating. The average weight loss was 23.8 lb. Malabsorption and diarrhea were present in 8 patients. The duration of the symptoms was from 4 to 46 months (mean 13.4 months). One patient presented with acute intestinal ischemia following balloon angioplasty reocclusion of a stenotic celiac artery, and 3 underwent surgery for stenosis of a previously placed graft. Five patients had single mesenteric artery involvement, 10 had double-artery involvement, and 5 had significant occlusion in all 3 mesenteric arteries. The major arteries were revascularized whenever technically possible; therefore, 36 arteries were revascularized in 20 patients. Bypass grafts were done in 27 vessels, reimplantation in 7, and endarterectomy with patch angioplasty in 2. The saphenous vein was used in 12 vessels, polytetrafluoroethylene grafts in 8, dacron in 6, and inferior mesenteric vein in 1. The type of revascularization or graft utilized did not affect long-term patency. Two patients had early graft thrombosis and required intestinal resection. All patients survived the operation. At a mean follow-up of 36 months, all 20 patients were alive and asymptomatic with regard to their abdominal complaint. Ten patients (50%) underwent postoperative abdominal angiography; all the grafts were patent.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Transcatheter coil embolization of an iatrogenic superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula: Report of a case

A 37-year-old male patient presented with abdominal pain and diarrhea. Computed tomography showed a large superior mesenteric vein aneurysm. The patient had a history of Crohn’s disease and underwent an ileocecal resection 7 years previously. A selective angiogram of the superior mesenteric artery revealed that a dilated branch of this artery fed directly into the superior mesenteric vein. The iatrogenic superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula was successfully closed by transarterial coil embolization. Successful endovascular treatment for a superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula has been recently reported; however, the complications of this new modality are not well understood. We herein review the current literature and discuss endovascular treatment.     

Mesenteric ischaemia

Acute mesenteric ischaemic (AMI) is a life-threatening vascular condition from which outcomes are poor. It results from acute thrombosis or embolization of one or more mesenteric arteries. Chronic mesenteric ischaemia (CMI) is a clinical syndrome of abdominal pain after eating related to stenosis or occlusion of one or more mesenteric vessels associated with other cardiovascular disease. Mesenteric ischaemia can also result from hypoperfusion, non-occlusive mesenteric ischaemia (NOMI), or mesenteric vein thrombosis (MVT).This article looks at the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of mesenteric ischaemia. It recognizes the need for resuscitation and time-critical resection of non-viable bowel and revascularization in the acute setting. Improving outcomes necessitates a multidisciplinary approach involving emergency medicine, diagnostic radiology, general surgery, vascular surgery, interventional radiology, anaesthetic, and critical care specialists.

Acute Abdominal Pain: Diagnostic Impact of Immediate CT Scanning

Background Acute abdominal pain is a common diagnostic problem. This study aimed to evaluate the routinely use of contrast enhanced computed tomographic (CT) scanning early in the diagnostic process. Methods A retrospective review of 2,222 patients with acute abdominal pain who underwent contrast enhanced CT scanning within 24 h after admission. The diagnoses obtained were compared with the final diagnoses after 1 month. Results After CT scanning the following diagnoses were suggested as the primary cause of the abdominal pain: nonspecific abdominal pain 984 (44.3%), appendicitis 354 (15.9%), bowel obstruction 190 (8.6%), diverticulitis 182 (8.2%), gastrointestinal perforation 52 (2.3%), gallstone disease 64 (2.9%), pancreatitis 72 (3.2%), inflammatory bowel disease 13 (0.6%), intra-abdominal malignancy 34 (1.5%), vascular disease (including 1 completely cured patient with paradoxical embolization in the superior mesenteric artery) 33 (1.5%), urological 131 (5.9%), gynecological 54 (2.4%), miscellaneous 31 (1.4%). In 28 cases a conclusive CT examination could not be carried out. The suggested diagnoses were correct in 2,151 cases (96.8%). In 16 cases (0.7%) an incorrect diagnosis was reported, leading to 7 unnecessary laparotomies. False negative reports were obtained in 27 cases (1.2%). After CT examination 500 patients could be discharged immediately. Conclusions Contrast-enhanced CT scanning results in superior diagnostic precision in patients with acute abdominal pain. The present work supports the strategy to include this examination early in the routine diagnostic process.     

肠系膜上静脉血栓形成18例临床分析

目的探讨肠系膜上静脉血栓形成（SMVT）的诊断和治疗方法。方法回顾分析1997年1月至2006年12月18例SMVT患者的临床资料。全部行彩色多普勒超声检查,12例行增强CT检查,1例行选择性肠系膜上动脉造影。15例表现为急腹症,均给予手术治疗。3例未出现急腹症表现,均给予非手术治疗。结果彩色多普勒超声检查诊断率为77．8％,CT为100％。15例行手术治疗,其中12例痊愈,3例在手术后因为中毒性休克和多器官功能衰竭死亡。非手术治疗的3例均痊愈。15例患者随访6个月～3年均无复发。结论门静脉血流缓慢、涉及门静脉系统的上腹部手术以及血液高凝状态等是SMVT常见的诱因。增强CT检查对SMVT的早期诊断和鉴别诊断有重要意义。早期抗凝和溶栓治疗对提高患者的生存率有明显的作用。出现急腹症表现的患者需急诊手术治疗。手术后继续抗凝、溶栓治疗对溶解肠系膜静脉内残留的血栓和预防SMVT复发有重要意义。     

自发性孤立性肠系膜上动脉夹层16例诊治分析

目的:探讨自发性孤立性肠系膜上动脉夹层(SISMAD)的临床特点及诊治路径。方法:回顾性分析2012年9月—2017年10月中南大学湘雅医院收治的16例SISMAD患者的临床资料。其中男12例,女4例;年龄47~70岁,中位数年龄56.5岁;其中14例表现为急性上腹痛或脐周痛,另外2例分别因肾结石及胸腺癌复查CT时发现SISMAD。所有患者均经过CTA扫描检查明确诊断。治疗方法包括保守治疗、腔内血管重建术及开放手术治疗。结果:保守治疗成功10例,腔内血管重建术治疗成功5例,1例保守治疗中出现血压下降,怀疑夹层破裂出血急诊行开放动脉修补术,成功重建肠系膜上动脉血运。16例患者全部获得随访,随访时间4~60个月,平均(28±13)个月,在随访期内无腹痛复发及肠道缺血症状。随访CT显示,保守治疗的患者无夹层瘤样扩张,腔内治疗成功的患者支架均通畅。结论:对于SISMAD,当诊断明确、肠系膜血运没有受到夹层严重影响、无腹膜炎征象时,应先给予保守治疗;没有缺血性肠坏死或腹膜炎征象、经保守治疗腹痛症状没有明显缓解时,应考虑采取腔内修复术;若出现夹层破裂出血、肠坏死或腹膜炎征象则应积极采取开放手术治疗。     

Aortic reimplantation of the superior mesenteric artery for atherosclerotic lesions of the visceral arteries: Sixty cases

We report the results of a series of patients who had isolated or associated reimplantation of the superior mesenteric artery directly into the infrarenal aorta. Between 1967 and 1988, a total of 91 revascularizations for atheromatous lesions of the visceral arteries were performed in 89 patients. The superior mesenteric artery was reconstructed in 87 instances, 60 of which were direct or indirect reimplantations into the juxtarenal aorta. The procedure was isolated in 51 cases, and associated with the revascularization of another visceral artery in nine cases. These 60 patients were divided into three groups: Group A—seven patients undergoing emergency operation for acute intestinal ischemia; Group B—30 patients operated upon for chronic intestinal angina; and Group C—22 asymptomatic patients who underwent prophylactic revascularization. Two patients died in the immediate postoperative period (3.5%). Although most of the 29 late deaths were due to vascular disorders, only one was secondary to intestinal infarction. Twenty-one patients followed had good functional results; six patients had relapse of abdominal pain. Three of these underwent repeat vevascularization of the superior mesenteric artery 12 days, 18 months, and 22 months, postoperatively. Follow-up ranged from six months to 18 years. Two patients were lost to follow-up. Overall actuarial survival at five years was 69.60±15%. In our experience, isolated reimplantation of the superior mesenteric artery on the anterior aspect of the infrarenal aorta is a simple and reliable technique which affords good long-term results.Presented at the Annual Meeting of the Société de Chirurgie Vasculaire de Langue Française, Strasbourg, France, June 23–24, 1989.

Endovascular versus open mesenteric revascularization: immediate benefits do not equate with short-term functional outcomes

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous therapy for symptomatic visceral occlusive disease is rapidly gaining popularity in many centers. This study evaluates the anatomic and functional outcomes of open and endovascular therapy for chronic mesenteric ischemia at an academic medical center. STUDY DESIGN: We performed a retrospective review of patients who underwent endovascular or open mesenteric arterial revascularization for chronic mesenteric ischemia between January 1989 and September 2003. Indications for revascularization included postprandial abdominal pain (92%) or weight loss (54%). All had atherosclerotic visceral occlusive disease with a median of 2 vessels with more than 50% stenosis or occlusion on angiography. Sixty patients (44 women, mean age 66 years) underwent 67 interventions (43 vessels bypassed, 23 vessel endarterectomies, 22 vessel angioplasty and stents). The median numbers of vessels revascularized were two in the open group and one in the endovascular group. RESULTS: Thirty-day mortality and cumulative survival at 3 years were similar (open, 15% and 62% +/- 9%; endovascular, 21% and 63%+/-14%, respectively; p=NS). Cumulative patencies at 6 months were 83%+/-7% and 68%+/-14% in the open and endovascular groups, respectively (p=NS). Major morbidity, median postoperative length of stay, and cumulative freedom from recurrent symptoms at 6 months were significantly greater in the open group (open, 46%, 23 days, and 71%+/-7%, respectively; endovascular, 19%, 1 day, and 34%+/-10%, respectively; p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Endovascular revascularization is attractive because it carries equivalent patency to open revascularization. Symptomatic benefit of endovascular revascularization is not achieved, probably as a result of incomplete revascularization. Despite incomplete revascularization, endovascular therapy has equivalent survival and lower morbidity compared with open revascularization. Complete endovascular revascularization needs further evaluation to determine if it is superior to open revascularization. In the interim, endovascular therapy should be reserved for the patient unable to undergo open revascularization.     

急性肠系膜上动脉栓塞预后的影响因素分析

目的:研究影响急性肠系膜上动脉栓塞相关因素与预后的关系。方法:选取我院2015年1月—2019年12月收治的患者85例,回顾性研究85例急性肠系膜上动脉栓塞患者的相关临床资料,分析相关因素及其与预后之间的关系。结果:本组85例中治愈46例,占54.1%,死亡36例,占45.9%。死亡组中病程>6 h、有腹膜炎、主干栓塞、未保留导管溶栓、未手术患者的比例高于治愈组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),两组的年龄、性别及有无合并症比例差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:急性肠系膜上动脉栓塞以老年患者为主,预后极差。对合并有心血管疾病的外科腹痛,"症状与体征不符"时,需要高度怀疑肠系膜血管病,高度重视腹部强化CT检查。介入溶栓及外科手术治疗有效。     

Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome: A Rare Cause of Intestinal Obstruction. Diagnosis and Surgical Management

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is a rare but well-known clinical entity characterized by compression of the third or transverse portion of the duodenum against the aorta by the superior mesenteric artery, resulting in chronic, intermittent, or acute, complete or partial, duodenal obstruction. The treatment for this arteriomesenteric compression includes conservative measures and surgical intervention. The aim of the study was to evaluate our surgical management and outcomes of the patients with superior mesenteric artery syndrome. The cases with superior mesenteric artery syndrome admitted between January 2000 and January 2010 were retrospectively investigated from the patients’ records. All six patients had a history of chronic abdominal pain, nausea, postprandial early satiety, vomiting, and weight loss. Diagnostic methods included barium esophagogastroduodenography, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, and computed tomography. Medical management was the first step of treatment in all cases before surgery. Of those, four underwent Roux-en-Y duodenojejunostomy and two underwent gastroenterostomy. Postoperative periods were uneventful and mean duration of hospitalization after the operations was 7 days. Conservative initial treatment is usually followed by surgical intervention for the main problem that is the narrowing of the aortomesenteric angle in patients with superior mesenteric artery syndrome. This syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients with chronic upper abdominal pain. Duodenojejunostomy is the most frequently used procedure with a high success rate.
