颈外动脉主要分支的测量与观察

本文对60侧成人半头颈标本的颈外动脉主要分支进行了测量与观察。为了颞浅动脉插管(造影或化疗)及血管吻合术的需要,进一步测量了颞浅动脉与颈外动脉、颞骨颧突部的两个角度以及颞浅动脉内壁的周长,并推算出其内径。旨在为临床应用及国人体质调查提供参考资料。     

颈外动脉栓塞在耳鼻咽喉科的应用

在耳鼻咽喉科手术中应用颈外动脉栓塞法１０例，形成栓塞组，并把单纯颈外动脉结扎１０例作为对照组。结果表明：栓塞组较对照组术中出血量显著减少，有利于病灶彻底清除，因而有提高治愈率减少复发率的作用。掌握栓塞位置、栓塞剂用量和注射速度是防止并发症的关键。     

冠心病患者颈动脉超声检测的临床意义

目的通过分析颈动脉粥样硬化与冠心病的关系探讨颈动脉超声对诊断冠心病的临床意义。方法将120例入选对象分为对照组,稳定性心绞痛(SA)组,不稳定性心绞痛(UA)组,急性心肌梗死(AMI)组,每组30例,分别给予超声检测颈动脉内-中膜厚度(IMT),同时测定3组冠脉造影结果:正常组21例,单支病变组18例,多支病变组29例。结果冠心病患者IMT较正常对照组有显著增厚(P<0.01),且冠脉造影正常组与单支、多支病变组间亦存在显著性差异(P<0.05)。结论颈动脉超声检测对冠心病的预测具有确切的临床意义。     

完全型大动脉错位伴室间隔缺损、肺动脉狭窄的外科治疗

治疗完全型大动脉错位伴室间隔缺损、肺动脉狭窄(TGA/VSD,PS)的手术方式有Rastelli手术、Lecompte手术、Nikaidoh手术、Yamagishi手术以及动脉转位 左心室流出道扩大术等多种术式,Rastelli手术和Lecompte手术损伤小,但远期并发症多;Nikaidoh手术和Yamagishi手术解剖纠治完全,但手术损伤大;动脉转位术 左心室流出道扩大术适应证相对较狭窄。因此,在TGA/VSD,PS的外科治疗上,应根据患者的自身情况和手术指征采取不同的手术方法。现对上述手术术式的优缺点、适应证、禁忌证、疗效和展望进行综述。     

创伤性肾动静脉瘘的介入治疗

目的 评价用介入技术治疗创伤性肾动静脉瘘(RAVFs)的安全性和疗效。方法 对8例不适宜做外科治疗的RAVFs患者进行了介入治疗，其中外伤性损伤4例，医源性损伤4例。6例行经导管超选择性肾动脉内钢丝圈栓塞术，2例行被覆膜支架置入患侧肾动脉内封闭瘘口。结果 血管造影显示肾内型动静脉瘘4例，累及肾动脉段-亚段级分支；主干(肾外)型动静脉瘘4例。治疗均获成功，治疗结束时复查血管造影显示瘘口被封闭。轻微并发症1例。医源性RAVFs患者术后失血症状迅速改善，肉眼血尿消失；4例术前存在心脏负荷过度症状患者，闭塞动静脉瘘后症状迅速改善，血管杂音消失。术后肾功能测定均属正常范围，其中2例肾动脉被覆膜支架置入患者，同位素肾扫描显示患侧肾脏形态、功能正常。术后随访10～42个月，2例分别于术后10，18个月死于与RAVFs无关的疾病。6例仍然生存，一般情况良好，未再针对RAVFs进行外科或介入治疗。结论 介入技术，包括经导管超选择性肾动脉内栓塞术和被覆膜支架置入术，是治疗创伤性、复杂型RAVFs的安全、有效的方法。     

Verbal Working Memory and Atherosclerosis in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease: An fMRI study

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Intimal-medial thickening (IMT) of the carotid wall is an accepted peripheral marker of atherosclerosis. It is associated with increased risk for myocardial infarction and stroke, and lower attention-executive-psychomotor functioning. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between IMT and brain activity during a verbal working memory (VWM) task in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS: Thirteen CVD patients underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during a 2-Back VWM task, and B-mode ultrasound of the carotid arteries. IMT was calculated using an automated algorithm based on a validated edge-detection technique. The relationship between IMT and 2-Back-related brain activity was modeled using partial correlations controlling for age and small vessel disease as measured by white matter signal hyperintensities on MRI (WMH). RESULTS: Higher IMT was associated with lower 2-Back-related signal intensity and in the right middle frontal gyrus, independent of age and WMH. CONCLUSIONS: IMT may be one mechanism contributing to brain dysfunction in CVD. The blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrast appears to be highly sensitive to peripheral vascular health as measured by IMT. Future studies should examine the sensitivity and specificity of the BOLD response for predicting cognitive decline in CVD.     

肝动脉解剖变异影像学研究

目的用数字减影血管造影(DSA)和CT血管造影(CTA)进一步探讨肝动脉解剖变异的种类、发生率及特点。方法回顾分析1000例因肝脏疾病而行DSA检查患者的临床资料、肝动脉的DSA,以及其中的32例肝动脉解剖变异的CTA表现。观察肝动脉的起源、走行、分布情况,并分别统计其变异类型和发生率。结果1000例肝动脉造影中,正常型727例,占72.7%;肝动脉变异273例,占27.3%。273例肝动脉变异中属于Michels分型的148例,占14.8%。Michels分型未包括在内者为125例,占12.5%。其中肝总动脉分叉变异54例,占5.4%,肝动脉起源变异214例,占21.4%,肝总动脉分叉 肝动脉起源变异5例,占0.5%。以上变异合并多种变异共存21例,占2.1%。结论肝动脉解剖变异的种类具有多样性、复杂性。除DSA外,CTA亦可显示肝动脉解剖变异。肝胆外科和影像科医师了解肝动脉解剖变异对于术前制定手术方案、提高诊断准确性等有重要意义。     

Coronary computed tomography angiography: principles of contrast material administration

A conceptual framework to approach the application of contrast media in computed tomography angiography (CTA) is discussed. With an adequate conceptual framework, the physician or technologist should be able to modify or create CTA protocols to address specific clinical and patient circumstances. The focus of this review is coronary CTA, but the basic principles are applicable to CTA in any arterial system.     

Ultrasound for the assessment of the embolic risk of carotid plaques

In a prospective study we compared duplex-ultrasound characteristics of symptomatic internal carotid artery (ICA) stenoses with cranial computerized tomographic (CCT) findings in 82 patients suffering from completed or transient middle cerebral artery symptoms. The aim was to assess the pathogenic role of ICA plaque morphology and the potential embolic risk of ICA plaques. The degree of carotid stenosis was estimated by spectral analysis of the pulsed Doppler signal. The CCT findings were classified as being either normal, lacunar lesions, hemodynamically induced low-perfusion infarctions, or territorial embolic infarctions. According to their ultrasonic features we characterized the ICA plaque surface as smooth or irregular and their structure as homogeneous or heterogeneous. Plaques with an irregular surface and heterogeneous echogenicity dominated significantly in CCT-territorial infarctions (p < 0.01), whereas hemodynamically induced low-perfusion infarctions showed no relationship with any plaque characteristic. High degree ICA stenoses (> 50>%) dominated in both territorial infarctions and low-perfusion infarctions, as compared to ipsilateral normal CCT or lacunes (p < 0.05). Normal CCT and lacunar infarctions were associated with homogeneous and smooth plaques (both p < 0.05). We conclude that > 50% ICA stenoses can cause both hemodynamically induced low-perfusion infarctions as well as thromboembolic territorial infarctions, whereas ulcerated and heterogeneous plaques constitute a high risk factor for arterio-arterial embolic stroke. Furthermore, carotid ultrasound may help to estimate the clinical significance of carotid lesions.
