- All 74 patients treated with vena cava filter insertion during 1991-2000 at Malmo University Hospital were reviewed. Thirty-nine patients (53%) died during follow-up. Indications for permanent filter insertion (n = 63, age 25-89 years, 35 men) were contraindication for or side effects of anticoagulant treatment, or pulmonary embolism during anticoagulant treatment. Temporary vena cava filters (n = 11, age 19-85 years, three men) were inserted during surgery or thrombolysis. No complications occurred during temporary filter insertion. During 33 (1-120) months of follow-up of patients with permanent vena cava filters 37 patients (59%) died, thrombosis of the inferior vena cava occurred in 14 patients (22%), and recurrent pulmonary embolism in five patients (8%). Vena cava filter insertion should be considered as an alternative treatment in a selected group of patients with contraindications to or insufficient effect of anticoagulant treatment.

- OBJECTIVE: To evaluate outcome and patency predicting factors of kissingstent treatment for aorto iliac occlusive disease (AIOD). METHODS: Patients treated with kissingstents for AOID between 1995 and 2004 at a tertiary referral center were identified through local databases. Chart review and preoperative images were used for TASC and Fontaine classification. Follow-up consisted of clinical exams, ABI and/or duplex. Patency rates were estimated by Kaplan-Meier analysis, and Cox multivariate regression was used to determine factors associated with patency. RESULTS: 173 consecutive patients (46% male, mean 64 years) were identified. TASC distribution was: A 15%, B 34%, C 10%, D 41%. Mean follow-up was 36 months (range: 1-144). 30-day mortality was 1% (2 patients), and 1-year survival was 91% (157 patients). 2 patients underwent late, open conversion and 13 patients suffered minor puncture site complications. Primary, assisted primary and secondary patency was: 97%, 99% and 100%, and 83%, 90% and 95% at twelve and 36 months respectively. There was no significant difference in patency between the TASC groups. Patency was significantly worse for patients in Fontaine class III. CONCLUSIONS: Aortoiliac kissing stents is a valid alternative to open repair for TASC A-D lesions. The procedure has low mortality and morbidity and good patency at 3 years.

- PURPOSE: To evaluate patency and clinical outcome in patients treated with catheter-directed thrombolysis and stent placement for acute extensive thrombosis affecting the iliocaval segment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: During a 10-year period (1994-2005), 37 patients with 44 limbs (26 female, median age 31 years) with acute extensive venous thrombosis affecting the iliocaval segment were treated with catheter-directed thrombolysis. Angioplasty and stent placement was performed in 36 limbs (82%) for underlying stenosis or residual thrombosis. A prospectively registered database was analyzed in combination with a telephone interview about clinical symptoms. RESULTS: Technical success was achieved in all 44 limbs and clinical success in 42 of 44 (96%) limbs. Primary patency after a median imaging follow-up interval of 16 months was 34 of 44 (77%) limbs, assisted primary patency was 38 of 44 (86%) limbs, and secondary patency was 39 of 44 (89%) limbs. Thirty of 44 (68%) limbs were asymptomatic after a median clinical follow-up of 27 months, eight (18%) limbs were moderately improved, two (5%) limbs were unchanged, two (5%) limbs were moderately worse, and two (5%) limbs had no clinical follow-up. Complications occurred in six (16%) patients, three (8%) of which were major complications. No patient developed symptomatic pulmonary embolism. CONCLUSIONS: Catheter-directed thrombolysis and stent placement is a safe and effective treatment for acute iliocaval thrombosis. Clinical midterm results are encouraging. Thrombolyzed and stented segments remain patent in the vast majority of patients after 16 months. Primary and aggressive stent placement in the iliocaval vein segments can prevent rethrombosis and ensure patency.

- Percutaneous endovascular techniques were used to treat an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) associated with pancreatic transplantation. A pancreatic transplant superior mesenteric artery-to-superior mesenteric-vein AVF was successfully embolized while flow to the pancreas transplant was preserved. The embolization was aided by the use of Guglielmi detachable coils and a detachable balloon. No complications were encountered. At 23 months follow-up, the patient is doing well with no recurrence.

- PURPOSE: To evaluate the midterm results of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stent placement in stenotic and occluded mesentesic arteries in five consecutive patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia. METHODS: Five patients with 70%-100% obliterations of all mesenteric vessels resulting in chronic mesenteric ischemia (n = 4) and as a prophylactic measure prior to abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (n = 1) underwent PTA of celiac and/or superior mesenteric artery (SMA) stenoses (n = 2), primary stenting of ostial celiac occlusions (n = 2), and secondary stenting of a SMA occlusion (n = 1; recoil after initial PTA). All patients underwent duplex ultrasonography (US) (n = 3) and/or angiography (n = 5) during a median follow-up of 21 months (range 8-42 months). RESULTS: Clinical success was obtained in all five patients. Asymptomatic significant late restenoses (n = 3) were successfully treated with repeat PTA (n = 2) and stenting of an SMA occlusion (n = 1; celiac stent restenosis). Recurrent pain in one patient was interpreted as secondary to postsurgical abdominal adhesions. Two puncture-site complications occurred requiring local surgical treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Endovascular techniques may be attempted prior to surgery in cases of stenotic or short occlusive lesions in patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia. Surgery may still be preferred in patients with long occlusions and a low operative risk.

Kronisk mesenteriell ischemi. Endovaskulär behandling lika effektiv som öppen kirurgi

- Chronic mesenteric ischaemia is a rare but serious condition, which if untreated may cause death secondary to starvation or bowel infarction. As the symptoms are sometimes unspecific, its diagnosis may be delayed or missed. Although open surgical revascularisation has been the traditional treatment, a review of published reports suggests it to be associated with operative mortality rates of 6-9 per cent, and major morbidity rates of 22-26 per cent. Reports by others, and our own experience, suggest that endovascular treatment of mesenteric atherosclerotic obstructions with PTA (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty) and stenting may yield patency rates differing little from those associated with surgery, but significantly lower mortality (1.6%) and morbidity (5.6%).

- PURPOSE: To evaluate the results of primary stenting in aortic occlusive disease. METHODS: Thirty patients underwent primary stenting of focal concentric (n = 2) and complex aortic stenoses (n = 19), and aortic or aorto-iliac occlusions (n = 9). Sixteen patients underwent endovascular outflow procedures, three of whom also had distal open surgical reconstructions. Median follow-up was 16 months (range 1-60 months). RESULTS: Guidewire crossing of two aorto-biiliac occlusions failed, resulting in a 93% (28/30) technical success. Major complications included one access hematoma, one myocardial infarction, one death (recurrent thromboembolism) in a patient with widespread malignancy, and one fatal hemorrhage during thrombolysis of distal emboli from a recanalized occluded iliac artery. One patient did not improve his symptoms, resulting in a 1-month clinical success of 83% (25/30). Following restenting the 26 stented survivors changed their clinical limb status to +3 (n = 17) and +2 (n = 9). During follow-up one symptomatic aortic restenosis occurred and was successfully restented. CONCLUSIONS: Primary stenting of complex aortic stenoses and short occlusions is an attractive alternative to conventional surgery. Larger studies with longer follow-up and stratification of lesion morphology are warranted to define its role relative to balloon angioplasty. Stenting of aorto-biiliac occlusions is feasible but its role relative to bypass grafting remains to be defined.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aneurysms of the pancreaticoduodenal artery are rare and may be associated with celiac artery stenosis or occlusion. Twenty-eight patients are reported in the literature. The diagnostic findings and therapeutic alternatives of four additional patients form the basis of this report. One patient with ruptured pancreaticoduodenal aneurysm was successfully treated by transcatheter embolization, and one patient was treated surgically; both patients had an uneventful recovery. In the remaining two patients, the aneurysms were left untreated. One patient died 1 year later of an unrelated cause, and the other patient is symptom-free after 2 years.
