Objective To summarize the therapeutic results and experience of the interventional managements for pseudoaneurysms occurred after surgery. Methods Five pseudoaneurysms with different location that occurred after surgery in five patients were treated with different interventional managements. One patient suffered from a ruptured pseudoaneurysm of left common iliac artery, which was treated by obstructing the diseased artery with balloon via the abdominal aorta followed by the replacement of vascular prostheses. One patient had a pseudoaneurysm of right subclavian artery and endovascular covered stent was employed to isolate it. The remaining three patients were affected by pseudoaneurysm of terminal arteries and intraarterial embolization with gelfoam and/or steel coils was camed out. Results Complete closing of the pseudoaneurysm was obtained in all five patients and no therapy-related complications occurred. Conclusion Pseudoaneurysms occurred after surgery can be effectively treated with different interventional managements, it is worth popularizing this technique in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the overall survival prediction of the Bolondi substaging model for patients in intermediate-stage of Barcelona clinic liver cancer (BCLC) after hepatectomy.Methods The retrospective cohort study was adopted.The clinical data of 343 patients with intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who were admitted to the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital of the Second Military Medical University between February 2008 and January 2010 were collected.All the patients received the detailed medical history collection,physical examination,laboratory and imaging examinations after admission,and then hepatectomy was performed according to the results of above examinations.Research methods:(1) patients were allocated into the B1,B2 and B3/4 groups based on the Bolondi's substaging model,and the prognostic analyses among groups were conducted.(2) The related factors affecting the prognosis of patients in the B1 and B2 groups were analyzed.(3) The patients in the B1 and B2 groups were allocated into the 4 groups [patients of B1 group with negative microvascular invasion (MVI) were divided in the M1 group,patients of B1 group with positive MVI in the M2 group,patients of B2 group with negative MVI in the M3 group and patients of B2 group with positive MVI in the M4 group] according to the situations of MVI,and stratified analysis was conducted.Observation indicators:basic clinical and pathological features and survival of patients in the B1,B2 and B3/4 groups were observed.Risk factors analysis affecting the prognosis of patients and stratified analysis of MVI in the B1 and B2 groups were conducted.All the patients were followed up by outpatient examination and telephone interview up to February 2014,and the abdominal ultrasound,liver function and serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) tests was performed once every 3 months within 2 years postoperatively and once every 6 months after 2 years postoperatively.The continuous variables and categorical variables were respectively represented as M(Qn) and percentage.The comparisons of continuous variables and categorical variables among groups were analyzed by ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis test and chi-square test or Fisher exact probability,respectively,and one-way ordinal categorical variables were analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis test.The survival curve was drawn using the KaplanMeier method.The univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were done using the Log-rank test and COX regression model.Results (1) The basic clinical pathological features:of 343 patients with HCC,143,183 and 17 patients (12 in the B3 substaging and 5 in the B4 substaging) were respectively allocated into the B1,B2 and B3/4 groups.There were statistically significant differences in the age,peritoneal effusion,total bilirubin (TBil),albumin (Alb),alanine transaminase (ALT),prothrombin time (PT),platelet (PLT),alpha-fetoprotein (AFP),extent of liver resection,surgical margin ivasion,tumor diameter,number of tumor,Edmondson-Steiner grade,Up-to-7 score,Up-to-7 standard and Child-pugh score among the 3 groups (F =3.377,NA,11.245,32.616,6.884,11.564,33.100,12.902,NA,NA,239.089,10.357,x2=8.906,F =251.508,x2 =343.000,106.790,P < 0.05).(2) Survival of patients:all the patients were followed up for 2.8-70.8 months with a median time of 38.7 months.The 1-,3-,5-year survival rates and median survival time in the B1,B2 and B3/4 groups were 85.8%,72.8%,52.9% and 63.2%,47.5%,16.8% and 45.5%,30.4%,8.4% and 55.1 months,35.1 months,12.2 months,respectively,showing a statistically significant difference (x2 =22.800,P < 0.05).(3) Risk factors analysis:the results of univariate analysis showed that the peritoneal effusion,Alb,Hb,AFP,esophagogastric varices,surgical margin invasion,tumor diameter,MVI and Edmondson-Steiner grade were related risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with HCC after hepatectomy [HR =2.04,2.46,2.50,1.78,1.55,3.54,1.71,1.76,1.69,95% confidence interval (CI):1.13-3.69,1.20-5.02,1.51-4.15,1.29-2.45,1.06-2.25,1.65-7.61,1.23-2.38,1.23-2.51,1.08-2.64,P<0.05].The results of multivariate analysis showed that the Alb < 35 g/L,Alb < low limit of normal,tumor invading to surgical margin,tumor diameter > 5 cm and positive MVI were independent risk factors affecting the overall survival of patients with HCC after hepatectomy (HR =2.82,2.16,2.93,1.48,1.53,95% CI:1.37-5.80,1.27-3.69,1.33-6.44,1.05-2.09,1.06-2.22,P<0.05).(4) There were 61,82,57 and 126 patients in the M1,M2,M3 and M4 groups,and M2 and M3 groups were merged into the M2/3 group because of being similar survival situations of patients.The 1-,3-,5-year survival rates and median survival time in the M1,M2/3,and M4 groups were 90.0%,83.2%,67.7% and 68.8%,59.9%,41.6% and 52.7%,42.1%,23.6% and 69.0 months,49.2 months,24.9 months,respectively,with a statistically significant difference among the 3 groups(x2=20.200,P < 0.05).Conclusions The Bolondi substaging model produces an optimal survival prediction for patients in intermediate stage of BCLC after hepatectomy.The patients in the B1 and B2 substaging have better long-term survival outcomes after hepatectomy.
