Factors influenced on prognosis of reconstructive surgery for peripheral arterial occlusion: comparative study between arteriosclerosis obliterans and thromboangiitis obliterans.

Reconstructive surgery was carried out in 93 patients of ASO and TAO. Factors influenced on prognosis were studied being compared with ASO and TAO. Cumulative 5-year patency was 60% in ASO and 25% in TAO. Distal patency was shown by total score given in each site of arteriogram. Patency rate was well correlated with combinated factors such as total score of arteriogram and back flow at site of surgery. Period from onset of symptom to surgery and site of operation also correlated with patency statistically, though total serum cholesterol, ischemic time at reconstructive surgery, and amount of bleeding at operation did not relate to prognosis. Causes of early failure and special problems of late failure in TAO were studied.

Arteriosclerosis Obliterans↗

Involvement of the iliac artery in Buerger's disease (pathogenesis and arterial reconstruction).

Out of 216 patients with Buerger's disease, 14 showed the involvement of the iliac artery in addition to the occlusive lesion in the leg arteries. It occurred within 2 to 8 years after the onset of symptom. The obliterative lesion of the iliac artery might owe its cause to a direct proximal progression of thromboangitis obliterans of the femoral artery or to a skip progression of the disease. The skip lesion of the iliac artery might be due to an ascending progress of the thromboangiitic lesion in the branch arteries of the iliac artery. The indication for arterial reconstruction in the case with the involvement of the iliac artery depends on run-off in the deep femoral artery. Out of the 14 cases, 2 underwent thromboendarterectomy with autogenous vein patch grafting of the external iliac artery and 6 underwent bypass grafting, but their long-term follow-up result was poor.

Treatment of ilio-femoral venous occlusion.

During the past thirteen and a half years, 222 cases of iliofemoral venous occlusion were treated. Diagnosis was based mainly on clinical symptoms and phlebography. Surgery, injury, malignancy and heavy muscular exercise were the chief etiologic factors of this disease. As therapeutic maneuvres: (1) thrombectomy, (2) Palma's operation, (3) conservative procedures, (4) extirpation of a tumor, and (5) removal of secondary varicose veins were performed. Long-term results of treatment were reviewed. Thrombectomy and Palma's operation obtained good results in 59% and in 42% of cases respectively, while conservative procedures showed a favorable outcome in 36% of cases where followed. Results of thrombectomy were statistically better than those of conservative procedures (p less than 0.05).

Surgical treatment of Buerger's disease.

Forty of 266 patients with Buerger's disease underwent 47 vascular reconstructions: bypass in 38, thromboendarterectomy in 7 and replacement in 2. Indications for arterial reconstruction were ulceration or gangrene in 60%, claudication in 33.3% and rest pain in 6.7%. In a follow-up from 6 months to 8 years and 7 months, the overall patency rate was 24% in bypass, 0% in thromboendarterectomy and 100% in replacement. One hundred nine of the 266 patients underwent sympathetic denervation: lumbar in 92 (bilateral in 19) and thoracic in 17. In the course of 11 years follow-up study, 23 cases required amputation of the extremity. A good initial result gradually gave way to recurrence unless the patients discontinued smoking. The most important factor which decides natural history of Buerger's disease is smoking.

Effect of lipid emulsions for total parenteral nutrition on regeneration of the liver after partial hepatectomy in rats.

We studied the effects of lipid emulsions for total parenteral nutrition (TPN) on hepatic regeneration after partial hepatectomy in rats. Daily energy intake was maintained at 1172 kJ.kg-1.day-1 while the percentage of nonprotein energy sources was changed. Animals were divided into four groups: lipid-free, 10%-lipid, 20%-lipid, and 40%-lipid. TPN was continued for up to 1 wk. The content of proteins, the ratio of proteins to triglycerides, and the yield of mitochondrial protein in the remnant liver 7 days after partial hepatectomy were larger in animals receiving TPN with lipids than in those receiving lipid-free TPN, whereas the amounts of triglycerides and cholesterol in the liver of the latter animals were larger. The degree of fatty infiltration of the hepatic lobule was most distinct in the lipid-free group. Furthermore, activities of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase, and alkaline phosphatase in the serum tended to be higher in the lipid-free group. Phosphorylating ability of mitochondria in the regenerating liver 7 days after partial hepatectomy was not different among the four groups; however, the highest value for the respiratory control index was obtained in the 40%-lipid group. The application of a lipid emulsion to TPN is useful for hepatic regeneration after partial hepatectomy; however, the ideal concentration of lipids in TPN awaits further investigation.

Hepatic blood flow after acute biliary obstruction and drainage in conscious dogs.

BACKGROUND AIMS: Obstructive jaundice is a factor which effects hepatic blood flow and the relative contribution of the hepatic arterial flow and portal venous flow. In this study, and were measured in conscious dogs and the influence of biliary obstruction and drainage was investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Hepatic arterial flow (HAF) and portal venous flow (PVF) after biliary obstruction and subsequent drainage were continuously measured in conscious dogs using implantable transit time ultrasonic flow-meters. RESULTS: After biliary obstruction hepatic arterial flow rapidly increased compared to the pre-obstructed values(p < 0.01), while portal venous flow was significantly decreased (p < 0.01). Total hepatic blood flow was initially increased (p < 0.01) until 2 hours after obstruction. It then decreased gradually. After 2 weeks, it was less than the pre-obstructed values, but this was not significant. Biliary drainage was performed after 2 weeks. Hepatic arterial flow subsequently decreased (p < 0.01) and portal venous flow increased (p < 0.05). Blood flow did not change. CONCLUSION: Biliary obstruction resulted in significant changes in liver circulation. Biliary drainage facilitated recovery from these changes.
