In vitro and clinical feasibility study with an over-the-wire delivery system for pulsed dye laser angioplasty.

The suitability of a pulsed dye laser (504 nm) in experimental and clinical angioplasty was investigated. In an experimental study, the ablation thresholds were 3 J/cm2 +/- 8 (mean +/- standard deviation) for fibrofatty plaque and 25 J/cm2 for calcified tissues under saline. At a radiant exposure of 10 J/cm2 the etch rates were 1.7 microns per pulse +/- 0.3 for media, 2.8 microns/pulse +/- 0.4 for normal intima, and 3.9 microns/pulse +/- 1.1 for fibrofatty plaque (P less than .05). Pressure wave effects with a separation of tissue layers were predominantly localized at the internal elastic lamina. Thermal injury with vacuolations extended 15 microns +/- 6 into adjacent tissue. For clinical study, laser-assisted balloon angioplasty was performed in 10 patients (64 years +/- 14) with occlusions of peripheral arteries using a 9-F multifiber ring catheter. Lesion length ranged from 2 to 12 cm (mean, 7 cm). Laser angioplasty with an 80 mJ/pulse decreased the mean stenosis from 100% to 58% +/- 12% (P less than .005). The ankle-brachial index rose from a median of 0.48 to 0.88 (P less than .001). In 33% of patients, there were subintimal dissections after laser angioplasty. After a mean follow-up of 10.2 months, the overall clinical success was 70% with a primary patency of 78%. The over-the-wire approach with a pulsed dye laser may constitute a safe and feasible tool in laser angioplasty.     

In situ saphenous vein bypass grafts: angiographic evaluation and interventional repair of complications

In situ saphenous vein grafts are being used with increasing frequency for bypass procedures involving the femoral and popliteal arteries. Complications of these procedures include anastomotic stenoses and persistent arteriovenous fistulae that may result in failure of the graft. Balloon angioplasty and embolotherapy with detachable balloons were employed successfully in three or four recent cases of patients with complications from in situ grafts. Tailored angiography is essential for evaluating in situ grafts, and interventional techniques are extremely useful for managing complications.     

Transluminal excimer laser angioplasty of experimentally-induced atheromatous plaque: morphologic changes and importance of proliferation of smooth muscle cells

To determine the time-course of morphological changes after excimer laser treatment of atherosclerotic carotid arteries, laser angioplasty was performed in 34 rabbits after production of an intimal plaque (13 +/- 6 cell layers, 30 +/- 9% stenosis) using electrical stimulations. The animals were sacrificed 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 42 days after laser treatment. A total or subtotal thrombotic occlusion was found in four cases. No perforation was observed, but in 10 animals histological examination evidenced a partial ablation of the medial layer with signs of local thrombus formation and local reduction of SMC in the media. In five animals a stenosis of more than 50% of luminal reduction was due to intimal proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMC), as determined by a monoclonal antibody against alpha-actin. After the initial ablation, a continuous increase of intimal cell layers was found, from 7 +/- 6 cell layers (19 +/- 9% stenosis) at 7 days, to 28 +/- 5 cell layers (45 +/- 18% stenosis) at 28 days following excimer laser angioplasty (p less than 0.01). After 42 days no additional increase of intimal thickening occurred. Our data suggest that incidence and morphology is comparable to the proliferative response of SMC following conventional balloon angioplasty.     

Superior mesenteric artery injury during nephrectomy for Wilms' tumor.

Iatrogenic injury to the aorta or its major branches during nephrectomy for Wilms' tumor in children is rarely reported but may be more common than is currently acknowledged. We identified four patients with ligation of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) that occurred during nephrectomy for nephroblastoma and another child in whom SMA thrombosis developed postoperatively. All of the tumors were on the left side. Interruption of the SMA was recognized intraoperatively in all four children, and primary repair was done. In three patients, appearance of the bowel remained normal before repair of the injury. Three of the arteries were repaired by primary reanastomosis, and one was joined with an interpositioned hypogastric artery graft. None of these patients had gastrointestinal complications postoperatively. In the fifth patient, SMA thrombosis developed after repair of an aortic tear during nephrectomy. This patient required subsequent small bowel resection for bowel infarction and died in the perioperative period. Every surgeon treating children with Wilms' tumor should be aware of the possibly distorted vascular anatomy and take precautions to avoid such a significant injury. Attempts at early ligation of the vessels may not be justified until the renal vasculature is clearly identified.

Association between pancreatic cystadenocarcinoma, malignant liver cysts, and polycystic disease of the kidney

Polycystic kidney disease is an autosomal dominant disease that may be associated with cystic disease of the liver. In women, the cysts may develop early and be more troublesome than in men. Cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas is uncommon, comprising 1% of primary pancreatic malignancies. This case report is the first to describe a familial association between polycystic kidney disease and cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas and liver in the English medical literature. A patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and multiple hepatic cysts developed cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas with multiple malignant liver cysts. The patient's mother, sister, and niece had ADPKD, and the patient's sister also died of pancreatic cystadenocarcinoma. We believe that the development of these two disease entities in which the primary pathology is cyst formation has a genetic association. (Gastroenterology 1997 Jun;112(6):2104-7)
