Objective:To study the influence of r-tPA and urokinase in curative effect and thrombolysis time on patients with acute and severe pulmonary embolism after interventional thrombectomy .Methods:After reviewing and analyzing the clinical data of 19 acute and severe pulmonary embolism patients , we classified them into two groups in accordance with the application of r-tPA and urokinase to compare the changes of their heart rate , blood pressure , pulmonary arterial pressure , arterial partial pressure of oxygen and hemachrome before and after thrombolysis , as well as the thrombolysis effect time the two groups took.Results: The heart rate, blood pressure, pulmonary arterial pressure , arterial partial pressure of oxygen of the patients in both groups gained remarkable improvement after operation ( P<0 .05 );the pulmonary arterial pressure of the r-tPA patient group dropped but not significantly compared with that before operation ( P>0.05); the pulmonary arterial pressure of the urokinase patient group dropped significantly compared with that study before operation ( P<0.05 ); the hemachrome of both patient groups did not significantly drop after operation ( P>0 .05 );the thrombolysis effect time by adop-ting r-tPA was remarkably shorter than that caused in thrombolysis by adopting urokinase ( P<0 .05 ) . Conclusion: Both r-tPA and urokinase are effective in interventional thrombolysis for acute and severe pulmonary embolism .However , r-tPA could significantly shorten the time caused in thrombolysis without increasing any bleeding risk.

Objective:To investigate the effect of thrombin in preventing endoleaks and promoting sac regression after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm.Methods:Retrospective study was performed on patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) who were admitted to Peking University Third Hospital for endovascular repair (EVAR) from May 2018 to May 2023. Thrombin injection was performed during EVAR in patients with high risk of endoleaks, and the success rate of the operation, perioperative mortality (30 d), incidence of endoleak, thrombin-related allergic reactions and ectopic embolism were observed.Results:In 83 patients, the technical success rate was 100% (83/83). The average operation time was (89.9±17.1) min. The average hospitalization was (5.8±1.3) days. There were no thrombin-related allergic reactions and ectopic embolism in peri-operation. The median follow-up time was 36 months. Five patients lost follow-up. During the follow-up period, 3 patients died, of which 2 died of acute myocardial infarction at 16 and 24 months, respectively, and 1 died of lung cancer at 34 months. The remaining 75 patients survived, with an overall survival rate of 96.2% (75/78). Type Ⅱ internal leakage occurred in 3 of the 75 patients, with an incidence of 4.0%. The maximum diameter and volume of the sac did not increase significantly during follow-up, and conservative treatment was performed. The mean maximum sac diameter of 75 patients was (43.8±7.4) mm, which was significantly lower than that of (61.4±14.4) mm before EVAR ( P<0.001). The sac volume was also significantly decreased [(125.5±54.1) cm 3vs. (239.3±145.1) cm 3, P<0.01]. Conclusions:The use of thrombin in the prevention and treatment of endoleak during EVAR is safe and effective after mid-term follow-up. In the follow-up of EVAR, attention should be paid to the change of sac volume.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of mechanical debulking in treating arteriosclerosis occlusive disease of lower extremity.Methods:The clinical data of 52 arteriosclerosis occlusive disease of lower extremity cases treated with Rotarex mechanical debulking system from June 2017 to June 2020 at Department of Intervention Vascular Surgery,Peking University Third Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. There were 37 males and 15 females,aged(69.4±10.1)years(range:47 to 89 years).Lesion length was (21.6±12.9)cm(range: 4 to 45 cm),occlusion length was (18.5±11.8)cm(range:4 to 45 cm).The lesion was located in iliac artery(IA) in 6 cases,femoral-popliteal artery(FPA) in 42 cases,and both IA and FPA in 4 cases. All the cases were treated with Rotarex mechanical debulking system. Residual stenosis more than 50% were treated with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA).Drug coated balloon was used in part of them,and stent was used only when it was necessary. The patient′s operation, complications, postoperative target vessel restenosis and reoperation were collected. The paired sample t test and rank sum test was used for data comparison and the postoperative target vessel patency rate was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival curve. Results:All the 52 cases obtained technical success. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was used in all cases,and drug coated balloon were used in 11 cases. Twenty-six stents were implanted in 24 cases (2 cases implanted 2 stents).Nine stents were implanted in IA and 15 in FPA. The length of stents was (11.3±3.3)cm(range:6 to 23 cm).There were 3 procedure related complications: one of them was acute occlusion in an iliac lesion,and thrombectomy was applied urgently,and the result was good. And the other two were distal embolism. The thrombus were took out with guiding catheter. The hospital stay was (4.8±1.9)days. The ankle brachial index increased from 0.34±0.16 to 0.81±0.16 after treatment ( t=-25.160, P<0.01).The Rutherford stages decreased from ( M(IQR)) 3(1) to 1(1)( Z=-6.825, P<0.01).The median followed up time was 19 months(range:6 to 42 months).Two cases stopped antiplatelet agents during follow-up and which result in acute thrombosis 2 weeks and 2 months later respectively. One of them was treated with percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy and the other one was not for gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Four cases died during follow-up,one case died of lung cancer,one died of abdominal infection,and the other 2 cases died of cardiovascular disease,and no amputation was observed. Target lesion restenosis(TLR) more than 50% occurred in 13 cases during the follow-up. All TLR were observed in FPA,and target lesion revascularization was taken in 3 of them. According to Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis,half-year,1-year and 2-year cumulative patency rates of target vessels in this group was 94.2%,87.4% and 51.4%, respectively. And half-year and 1-year cumulative patency rates just in FPA cases was 92.9% and 84.3%, respectively. Conclusions:Percutaneous mechanical debulking using Rotarex catheter combining PTA can reduce the use of stents in femoral-popliteal artery. It is safe and effective in treating with arteriosclerosis obliterans of lower extremity.
