- Objectives: This study aims to evaluate intra-peritoneal (ip) microdialysis after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) in patients developing intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH), requiring abdominal decompression.Design: Prospective study.Material and methods: A total of 16 patients with rAAA treated with an emergency EVAR were followed up hourly for intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), urine production and ip lactate, pyruvate, glycerol and glucose by microdialysis, analysed only at the end of the study. Abdominal decompression was performed on clinical criteria, and decompressed (D) and non-decompressed (ND) patients were compared.Results: The ip lactate/pyruvate (l/p) ratio was higher in the D group than in the ND group during the first five postoperative hours (mean 20 vs. 12), p = 0.005 and at 1 h prior to decompression compared to the fifth hour in the ND group (24 vs. 13), p = 0.016. Glycerol levels were higher in the D group during the first postoperative hours (mean 274.6 vs. 121.7 mu M), p = 0.022. The IAP was higher only at 1 h prior to decompression in the D group compared to the ND group at the fifth hour (mean 19 vs. 14 mmHg).Conclusions: lp l/p ratio and glycerol levels are elevated immediately postoperatively in patients developing IAH leading to organ failure and subsequent abdominal decompression.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- EndoVascular and Hybrid Trauma Management (EVTM) is an emerging concept for the early treatment of trauma patients using aortic balloon occlusion (ABO), embolization agents and stent grafts to stop ongoing traumatic bleeding. These techniques have previously been implemented successfully in the treatment of ruptured aortic aneurysm.We describe our very recent experience of EVTM using ABO in bleeding patients and lessons learned over the last 20 years from the endovascular treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA). We also briefly describe current knowledge of ABO usage in trauma.A small series of educational cases in our hospital is described, where endovascular techniques were used to gain temporary hemorrhage control. The methods used for rAAA and their applicability to EVTM with a multidisciplinary approach are presented.Establishing femoral arterial access immediately on arrival at the emergency room and use of an angiography table in the surgical suite may facilitate EVTM at an early stage. ABO may be an effective method for the temporary stabilization of severely hemodynamically unstable patients with hemorrhagic shock, and may be useful as a bridge to definitive treatment of the bleeding patients.EVTM, including the usage of ABO, can be initiated on patient arrival and is feasible. Further data need to be collected to investigate proper indications for ABO, best clinical usage, results and potential complications. Accordingly, the ABOTrauma Registry has recently been set up. Existing experiences of EVTM and lessons from the endovascular treatment of rAAA may be useful in trauma management.

Intraperitoneal metabolic consequences of supra-celiac aortic balloon occlusion versus superior mesenteric artery occlusion : an experimental animal study utilising microdialysis
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Objective: To investigate the effect of aortic supra-celiac balloon occlusion (ABO) and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) occlusion on abdominal visceral metabolism in an animal model by using intraperitoneal microdialysis (IPM) and laser Doppler flowmetry. Design: Prospective study in pigsMaterial and methods: Nine pigs were subjected to ABO and seven animals were subjected to SMA occlusion for one hour followed by three hours of reperfusion. Seven animals served as controls. Hemodynamic data, arterial blood samples, urinary output and intestinal mucosal blood flow (IBF) were followed hourly. Intraperitoneal (i.p) glucose, glycerol, lactate and pyruvate concentrations and lactate-pyruvate (l/p) ratio were measured by IPM.Results: Compared to baseline, ABO reduced IBF by 76% and decreased urinary output. SMA occlusion reduced IBF by 75% without affecting urinary output. ABO increased the i.p l/p ratio from 18 at baseline, peaking at 46 in early reperfusion. SMA occlusion and reperfusion tended to increase the i.p l/p ratio, peaking at 36 in early reperfusion. ABO increased the i.p glycerol concentration from 87 μM at baseline to 579 μM after three hours of reperfusion. SMA occlusion and reperfusion increased the i.p glycerol concentration but to a lesser degree.Conclusions: Supra-celiac ABO caused severe hemodynamic, renal and systemic metabolic disturbances compared to SMA occlusion, most likely due to the more extensive ischemiareperfusion injury. The intra-abdominal metabolism, measured by microdialysis, was affected both by ABO and SMA occlusion but the most severe disturbances were caused by ABO. The i.p l/p ratios and the glycerol concentrations increased during ischemia and reperfusion and may serve as markers of these events and indicate anaerobic metabolism and cell damage respectively.

- Background: To investigate the effects of supraceliac aortic balloon occlusion (ABO) and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) occlusion on abdominal visceral metabolism in an animal model using intraperitoneal microdialysis (IPM) and laser Doppler flowmetry.Methods: A total of 9 pigs were subjected to ABO and 7 animals were subjected to SMA occlusion for 1 hour followed by 3 hours of reperfusion. Seven animals served as controls. Hemodynamic data, arterial blood samples, urinary output, and intestinal mucosal blood flow (IBF) were followed hourly. Intraperitoneal (i.p) glucose, glycerol, lactate, and pyruvate concentrations and lactate-to-pyruvate (lip) ratio were measured using IPM.Results: Compared with the baseline, ABO reduced IBF by 76% and decreased urinary output. SMA occlusion reduced IBF by 75% without affecting urinary output. ABO increased the i.p lip ratio from 18 at baseline, peaking at 46 in early reperfusion. SMA occlusion and reperfusion tended to increase the i.p lip ratio, peaking at 36 in early reperfusion. ABO increased the i.p glycerol concentration from 87 mu M at baseline to 579 p,M after 3 hours of reperfusion. SMA occlusion and reperfusion increased The i.p glycerol concentration but to a lesser degree.Conclusions: Supraceliac ABO caused severe hemodynamic, renal, and systemic metabolic disturbances compared with SMA occlusion, most likely because of the more extensive ischemia-reperfusion injury. The intra-abdominal metabolism, measured by microdialysis, was affected by both ABO and SMA occlusion but the most severe disturbances were caused by ABO. The i.p lip ratios and the glycerol concentrations increased during ischemia and reperfusion and may serve as markers of these events and indicate anaerobic metabolism and cell damages respectively.

- Purpose: The radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (RC-AVF) has significant failure rates due to occlusions and failure to mature. The size and quality of the veins are considerable limiting factors for the procedure. The aim of this pilot study was to describe the No-Touch technique (NTT) to create RC-AVF and present the results up to 1 year of follow-up.Methods: Thirty-one consecutive patients who were referred for surgery for a RC-AVF were included (17 men, mean age 63 years, range 35-84) and operated by NTT where the vein and artery were dissected with a tissue cushion around it. Twenty-two patients had small veins or arteries (<= 2 mm), 12 patients had a small cephalic vein (<= 2 mm), and the mean distal cephalic vein diameter was 2.4 mm (range 1.0-4.1 mm).Results: Technical surgical success and immediate patency were obtained in all patients. Clinical success was achieved in 23 of the 27 (85%) patients who required hemodialysis. The proportion of primary patency at 30 days and 6 months was 84% and 64%, respectively. Secondary patency at 30 days and 6 months was 97% and 83%, respectively. At 1-year follow-up, primary patency was 54% and secondary patency was 80%. There was no major difference in patency due to preoperative vein diameter.Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that NTT can be used for primary radio-cephalic fistula surgery with very good results. This method offers the potential to create a RC-AVF in patients who are not usually considered appropriate for a distal arm fistula due to a small cephalic vein.

- Purpose: To describe our experience with a novel technique to decompress abdominal compartment syndrome after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA).Method: From January 2003 to April 2010, 13 patients (12 men; mean age 75 years) treated for rAAA with EVAR underwent tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)-assisted decompression for intra-abdominal hypertension. All of the patients but one had intra-abdominal pressure >20 mmHg, with signs of multiple organ failure or abdominal perfusion pressure <60 mmHg. With computed tomography guidance, a drain was inserted into the retroperitoneal hematoma, and tPA solution was injected to facilitate evacuation of the coagulated hematoma and decrease the abdominal pressure.Results: In the 13 patients, the mean intra-abdominal pressure decreased from 23.5 mmHg (range 12-35) to 16 mmHg (range 10-28.5). A mean 1520 mL (range 170-2900) of blood was evacuated. Urine production (mean 130 mL/h, range 50-270) increased in 7 patients at 24 hours after tPA-assisted decompression; among the 5 patients in which urine output did not increase, 3 underwent hemodialysis by the 30-day follow-up. One patient did not respond with clinical improvement and required laparotomy. The 30-day, 90-day, and 1-year mortality was 38% (5/13 patients); none of the deaths was related to the decompression technique.Conclusion: tPA-assisted decompression of abdominal compartment syndrome after EVAR can decrease the intra-abdominal pressure and could be useful in preventing multiple organ failure. It is a minimally invasive technique that can be used in selected cases but does not replace laparotomy or retroperitoneal surgical procedures as the gold standard treatments.

- Dysregulated chronic inflammation plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and may be a result of impaired resolution. Thus, restoring levels of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) to promote the resolution of inflammation has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy for patients with atherosclerosis, in addition to standard clinical care. Herein, we evaluated the effects of the SPM lipids, lipoxin A4 (LXA4) and lipoxin B4 (LXB4), on neutrophils isolated from patients with atherosclerosis compared with healthy controls. Patients displayed altered endogenous SPM production, and we demonstrated that lipoxin treatment in whole blood from atherosclerosis patients attenuates neutrophil oxidative burst, a key contributor to atherosclerotic development. We found the opposite effect in neutrophils from healthy controls, indicating a potential mechanism whereby lipoxins aid the endogenous neutrophil function in health but reduce its excessive activation in disease. We also demonstrated that lipoxins attenuated upregulation of the high-affinity conformation of the CD11b/CD18 integrin, which plays a central role in clot activation and atherosclerosis. Finally, LXB4 enhanced lymphatic transmigration of human neutrophils isolated from patients with atherosclerosis. This finding is noteworthy, as impaired lymphatic function is now recognized as an important contributor to atherosclerosis. Although both lipoxins modulated neutrophil function, LXB4 displayed more potent effects than LXA4 in humans. This study highlights the therapeutic potential of lipoxins in atherosclerotic disease and demonstrates that the effect of these SPMs may be specifically tailored to the need of the individual. © 2022 The Authors.

- PURPOSE: Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a technique for temporary stabilization of patients with non-compressible torso hemorrhage. This technique has been increasingly used worldwide during the past decade. Despite the good outcomes of translational studies, clinical studies are divided. The aim of this multicenter-international study was to capture REBOA-specific data and outcomes.METHODS: REBOA practicing centers were invited to join this online register, which was established in September 2014. REBOA cases were reported, both retrospective and prospective. Demographics, injury patterns, hemodynamic variables, REBOA-specific data, complications and 30-days mortality were reported.RESULTS: Ninety-six cases from 6 different countries were reported between 2011 and 2016. Mean age was 52 ± 22 years and 88% of the cases were blunt trauma with a median injury severity score (ISS) of 41 (IQR 29-50). In the majority of the cases, Zone I REBOA was used. Median systolic blood pressure before balloon inflation was 60 mmHg (IQR 40-80), which increased to 100 mmHg (IQR 80-128) after inflation. Continuous occlusion was applied in 52% of the patients, and 48% received non-continuous occlusion. Occlusion time longer than 60 min was reported as 38 and 14% in the non-continuous and continuous groups, respectively. Complications, such as extremity compartment syndrome (n = 3), were only noted in the continuous occlusion group. The 30-day mortality for non-continuous REBOA was 48%, and 64% for continuous occlusion.CONCLUSIONS: This observational multicenter study presents results regarding continuous and non-continuous REBOA with favorable outcomes. However, further prospective studies are needed to be able to draw conclusions on morbidity and mortality.

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Objective: This study aims to investigate the abdominal metabolic response and circulatory changes after decompression of intra-abdominal hypertension in a porcine model. Design: Prospective study with controls. Setting: University hospital research laboratory.Subjects: Three-months old domestic pigs of both sexes. Interventions: The animals were anesthetised and ventilated. Nine animals had a pneumoperitoneum-induced intra-abdominal hypertension of 30 mmHg for six hours. Twelve animals had corresponding intra-abdominal hypertension for four hours followed by decompression and were monitored for another two hours.Measurements and Main Results: Hemodynamics, urine output and arterial blood samples were analysed. Laserdoppler measured mucosal blood flow and urine output decreased with pressure induction and showed a statistically significant restitution after decompression. Glucose, glycerol, lactate and pyruvate concentrations and lactate-pyruvate (l/p) ratio were measured by microdialysis. Both groups developed distinct metabolic changes intraperitoneally at pressure induction including an increased l/p ratio as signs of organ hypoperfusion. In the decompression group the intraperitoneal l/p ratio normalised during the second decompression hour, indicating partially restored perfusion.Conclusions: Decompression after four hours of intra-abdominal hypertension results in restoration of intestinal blood flow and normalised intraperitoneal metabolism.
