Objective To evaluate the extra-anatomic bypass surgery for aorto-iliac occlusive disease in the elderly. Methods From January 2005 to December 2008,33 elderly patients/39 limbs (age ranged from 70 to 87 years, mean 76.0 ± 3.0 years) with aortoiliac occlusive disease were retrospectively analyzed. According to Fontaine classification, there were 5 phase Ⅱ b cases (7 limbs), 22 phase Ⅲ cases (26 limbs), and 6 phase Ⅳ cases (6 limbs), all cases were with TASC C, D lesions. Results These 33 cases/39 limbs were tr eated with a variety of bypass, including axillobifemoral bypass (6 cases/12 limbs) ,axillofemoral bypass ( 20 cases/20 limbs ), femorofemoral bypass ( 7 cases/7 limbs ). Intermittent claudication improved in 5 cases, rest pain disappeared in 22 cases, and ulcers healed in 6 cases after operations. The mean ABI increased from 0.29 ± 0.11 to 0.66 ± 0.13 ( t = 2.69, P < 0.05 ). All limbs were salvaged and there was no perioperative mortality within 30 days after operations. Postoperative complication rate was 9.1%. Patients were followed up for a median of 12 ±5 months (range, 6 to 28 months), primary patency rate was 89.7% (35/39), secondary patency rate was 94.9% (37/39), limb salvage rate was 92.3% (36/39). After dischargement the mortality was 6.1% (2/33) with one dying of myocardial infarction and another one of malignant tumor (gastric cancer). Conclusions Extra-anatomic bypass for aorto-iliac occlusive disease in the elderly is feasible, safe and effective, and the cardiopulmonary dysfunctions are the major risk factors for perioperative complications.

Objective To evaluate the result of revascularization for lower limb artery ischemia in elder patients. Method During Jan 2006 to Nov 2008, 262 elder patients (60 years old and up), underwent artery revascularization for lower limb arterial ischemia. Mortality, morbidity, primary patency, secondary patency and limb salvage were analyzed. Result There were a total of 323 ischemia limbs in those 262 elder patients undergoing revascalarization, among those 102 limbs underwent artery bypass, 98 limbs underwent endoluminal angioplasty with or without stenting, 67 limbs underwent embolectomy or endarterectomy, 56 limbs underwent open surgery combined with endoluminal treatment due to multiple segment lesions. Operation success rate was 94.7%. Two patients died within 30 days. Perioperative morbidity developed in 15 cases. 245 patients (93.5%) were followed-up from 1 month to 35 months. Mortality was 6.1% (15 cases), primary patency was 80.5%, secondary patency was 92.7% and limb salvage rate was 95.2%. Risk factors analysis showed that history of cardiac disease and elder ages were associated with higher mortality. Diabetes mellitus, critical ischemia and multiple segment lesions were associated with poor long term patency and limb salvage. Conclusion Lower limb ischemia is severe disease related to elder patients' death and amputation. Careful patient selection, detailed pre-operation work-up, meticulous operative technique play crucial roles for a successful arterial reconstruction.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of perioperative anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy of carotid endoarterectomy (CEA). Methods A retrospective study on 110 cases (122 CEAs) of carotid stenosis between Jan 2004 and Dec 2008 was undertaken. 122 cases were divided into anticoagulation group and antiplatelet group according to the perioperative medical treatment. Postoperative results of stroke/death and wound hemotoma were compared between the two groups and statistically analyzed. Results 45 CEAs were given perioperative combination of anticoagulation and antiplatelet treatment. This comprised the anticoagulation group. The antiplatelet group consisted of the other 77 CEAs which were treated with antiplatelet solely. Perioperative stroke/death rates were equivalent (2.2% anticoagulation vs. 2.6% antiplatelet, P =0.897). Wound hemotoma rates were found with statistical significant difference between the two groups (13.3% anticoagulation group vs. 1.3% antiplatelet group, P = 0. 006 ). Conclusion Our results suggest that perioperative antiplatelet therapy in perioperative carotid endoarterectomy does not increase perioperative stroke/death risk, while perioperative anticoagulation increases the risk of wound hematoma.

Objective:To summarize the surgical treatment of malignant carotid body tumor (MCBT).Methods:A retrospective analysis of 14 MCBT patients admitted at our hospital from Mar 2005 to Nov 2019 was made, and the imaging data, surgical records, perioperative complications and follow-up data were collected.Results:There were 8 males and 6 females, with an average age of (40.8±11.3) years. 10 patients underwent surgical resection of CBT, with one case undergoing tumor enucleation only, nine cases underwent internal carotid artery reconstruction, and all patients underwent intraoperative lymph node biopsy.Tumors were completely removed in all 10 patients. No perioperative death or cerebral infarction occurred. The intraoperative blood loss was (955±658.5) ml. Four patients had permanent nerve injury after surgery. The follow-up time ranged 1-132 months. There were no cases of cerebral infarction or death, and the reconstructed graft remained patent. Apart from the 2 patients who developed tumor metastasis after surgery, other patients recovered uneventfully with no disease progression.Conclusions:Surgery is still the main treatment for MCBT, but MCBT is large and Shamblin class is more advanced. Therefore, complete tumor removal and reconstruction of the carotid arteries are difficult. Surgery should seek to completely remove the tumor and neck lymph node biopsy should be performed to determine the lymph node metastasis.

Objective:To evaluate a surgical approach for partial resection of the tenth rib through a retroperitoneal approach for the exposure of Crawford type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm and complex abdominal aortic aneurysm from 2014 to 2019.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data and follow-up results of 7 patients who underwent treatment for Crawford type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm and complex abdominal aortic aneurysm through partial resection of the tenth rib via a retroperitoneal approach.Results:One case (14.3%) had associated Marfan syndrome, and 5 cases (71.4%) underwent left renal artery reconstruction. None of the patients experienced severe complications such as cardiopulmonary complications or renal failure postoperatively, and there was no statistically significant difference in serum creatinine levels between preoperative and postoperative stages during hospitalization ( P=0.205). Follow-up examinations showed no long-term vascular stenosis. Conclusions:Partial resection of the tenth rib through a retroperitoneal approach can avoid incisions of the pleura and diaphragm. It allows for the exposure of the aorta below the diaphragm and has the ability to treat aortic diseases below the diaphragm with smaller incisions and lower complication risks.
