Objective To evaluate the application of percutaneous suture-mediated closure device (Perclose ProGlide) in patients undergoing percutaneous endovascular aortic procedures.Method From Apr 2011 to Jun 2012,23 patients underwent percutaneous endovascular aortic procedures.The stent delivery system used included one 24Fr,twelve 22Fr,two 20Fr,one 18Fr,two 16Fr,four 14Fr,one 10Fr and four 6Fr.The success rate,complications and the technical feasibility was analyzed.Result The success rate was 93.3％ (28/30),in which two patients were converted to open surgery because of severe stenosis and bleeding of femoral artery.There was no hemorrhage,hematoma,false aneurysm,thrombosis,and serious artery stenosis during the follow-up period ( 8 ± 4 months).Conclusions Percutaneous suture techniques is safe and effective in patients undergoing percutaneous endovascular aortic procedures.Percutaneous suture techniques can be safely used to the branch of aortic arch.

Objective To describe the CSP genotypic profile in clinical isolates of Aspergillus fumigates from different regions of China,and to investigate if there is a difference in antifungal susceptibility among A.fumigates of different CSP genotypes and from different regions.Methods Totally,112 A.fumigates strains clinically isolated from Fujian,Shanghai,Hebei and Beijing were included in this study,and identified according to macro-and micro-morphological characters,growth temperature and β-tubulin sequence.Classic A.fumigatus strains were typed according to CSP gene sequence.The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of voriconazole,itraconazole and amphotericin B to A.fumigates were determined in accordance with the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) M38-A protocol.Results All the strains were identified as classic A.fumigates,and fall into 11 CSP genotypes.The most common genotypes were t04A (n =32),t03 (n =17) and t01 (n =24) in all the strains,tl0,t04A and t01 in Fujian,t04A and t01 in Shanghai,t01,t03 and t04A in Hebei,t02,t04A,t01and t03 in Beijing.One A.fumigatus strain was identified as a new CSP type t25 in Fujian,which showed no obvious difference in morphology,growth rate or appropriate growth temperature from the other CSP genotypes of A.fumigatus strains.No statistical difference was found in the susceptibility to amphotericin B,itraconazole or fluconazole among different genotypes of A.fumigates,whereas the MICs of itraconazole were significantly lower in A.fumigates isolates from Fujian than in those from the other three regions.Conclusions The CSP genotypic profile of A.fumigates varies in clinical isolates from different regions.No significant difference is observed in the susceptibility to amphotericin B,itraconazole or fluconazole among different CSP genotypes of A.fumigates,but the susceptibility to itraconazole is somewhat different between A.fumigates strains from different regions.

A vascular closure device (VCD) is a medical apparatus which is used for stopping bleeding at the puncture point after percutaneous vascular puncturing management. According to its principles , these devices can be categorized into active closure device, compression-assisted device and local hemostatic plaster. The use of these devices can shorten the time of hemostasis, the time of limb immobilization, and the time of hospitalization; it can also reduce the damage to the patient, improve patient’s comfort, and reduce the work load of the medical staff as well. But each VCD has its own applicable scope and learning curve , thus it might cause serious complications when it is improperly used. Therefore , in using VCD the interventional physicians should be familiar with the characteristics of each special VCD and have enough knowledge concerning the treatment of the common complications. This paper aims to make a comprehensive review of the closure device manufacturer data and the relevant literatures recently published so as to make a brief introduction of the principle, characteristics, scope of application and practical tips of several common vascular closure devices.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of endovascular repair for retrograde type A aortic dissection.Method 35 patients of retrograde type A aortic dissection admitted to Peking University People's Hospital from December 2001 to March 2014 were treated with endovascular repair.There were 33 males and 2 females with mean age of 46 ± 9 years.29 were on acute stage,2 on subacute stage and 4 on chronic stage.The entry tear was in the descending thoracic aorta in 32 cases,between the left subclavian artery and the left common carotid artery in one,and between the left common carotid artery and the innominate artery in two.Results Entry closure was achieved in all patients with a covered stent.2 patients died in 30 days postoperatively (5.7％).1 patient with two chimney developed acute renal artery embolized which was infused by false lumin (2.9％).One patient developed transient paraparesis after graft deployment(2.9％).During the follow-up period,the aortic remodeling is perfect,no entry tear was noted in the ascending thoracic aorta.All the endografts for preserving supra-aortic branches were patent.Conclusions The endovascular repair for retrograde type A aortic dissection is feasible and effective.

Objective To investigate surgical treatment of carotid body tumors (CBT). Methods Fifty-four cases of carotid body tumor were treated by surgery from 1994. There were 39 males and 15 females with a gender ratio of 2.6: 1. The ages ranged from 22 to 53 years averaging at 31 years. All lesions were benign and unilateral. Simple resection of CBT was performed in 12 cases. Resection of CBT with external carotid artery in 5 cases. Resection of CBT with carotid reconstruction in 6 cases ( using great saphenous vein in 4 cases, using vascular graft in 2 cases). Resection of CBT under carotid artery shunt was performed in 32 cases ( including carotid reconstruction in 3 cases). Resection of CBT with breaking mandible was necessary in 2 cases because of too high tumor position. Results Complete resection of CBT without recurrence and metastasis was achieved in all 54 cases. No complication of cerebral ischemia was encountered in all cases. Nerve injury was found in 7 cases ( including injury of sympathetic nerve and superior laryngeal nerve in 2 cases respectively, injury of recurrent laryngeal nerve in 3 cases). Conclusion Carotid shunt is helpful in resection of complicated CBT, carotid reconstruction is required for cases with resection of internal carotid artery. Breaking mandible is helpful in exposing high located tumors.

Objective To present our initial experience with modified branched stent gratis in endovacular repair of common iliac artery aneurysms.Methods In 5 patients,3 were aortobiiliac aneurysms and 2 were single common iliac aneurysms,receiving endovascular repair by a novel modified branched stent graft to keep at least one internal iliac artery patency.Results All cases were successfully completed with patent external and internal iliac artery on the target side.There were no inhospital mortality nor major complications after graft stenting.During a follow-up period of 27.6 months (21 to 33 months),there have been no stenting related endoleak and branch occlusion.Conclusions Modified branched stent graft is safe and efficient,providing an effective way to protect internal iliac artery in endovascular treatment of common iliac aneurysms.

Objective To summarize our experiences of endovascular treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with common iliac artery aneurysm (CIAA) by using bell-bottom technique (BBT).Methods From February 2009 to June 2014,endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) was performed on 17patients with AAA with CIAA using BBT,including 16 patients with bilateral and 1 patient with unilateral CIAA.Among them,patients with common iliac artery (CIA) of less than 25 mm in diameter without involvement of the internal iliac artery and external iliac artery aneurvsm were treated with BBT.Results All procedures were successfully completed.There were 3 bilateral and 14 unilateral BBT.Type Ⅰa endoleak was noticed intraoperatively in 3 cases and balloon dilation were applied,the endoleak disappeared after dilation in 2 cases and in 1 case the diminished endoleak disappeared during the follow-up period.The median follow-up of the 17 cases was 28 months (ranging,4-68 months).During follow-up no AAA or CIAA rupture and no endoleak occurred,and no dilation of the CIAA was observed.None of them had BBT graft occlusion or buttock claudication.Conclusion AAA with CIAA can be successfully treated with EVAR and BBT,which can preserve internal iliac artery patency.

SUMMARY An involved internal iliac artery is usually embolized when performing endovascular aneu -rysm repair for aortoiliac or isolated iliac artery aneurysm .This can lead to complications such as buttock claudication ,colon ischaemia and erectile dysfunction .Iliac branch device ( IBD ) is an endograft de-signed specifically for iliac bifurcation to preserve internal iliac flow .It was performed with high technical success rates and encouraging mid-term patency .Here we report a case of right iliac aneurysm developed 3 years after endovascular aneurysm repair for an aortoiliac aneurysm , with the patient ’ s left internal ar-tery been sacrificed then .Using a handmade IBD , we excluded the aneurysm without occlusion of the ip-silateral internal iliac artery or any type of endoleak .Both the design and deployment of this IBD are dis-tinctive that we would like to share our experience with all the colleagues .
