Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic effect of excimer laser ablation (ELA) in the treatment of lower extremity arterial ischemic diseases.Methods:The clinical data of 44 patients with lower extremity ischemic diseases treated with ELA in the People′s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from December 2020 to April 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Among the 44 patients, there were 29 patients in lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO), including 3 patients with femoral artery stent occlusion. 8 patients of diabetes foot (DF) and 7 patients of thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO). Observation indicators include target vascular patency rate, amputation rate, vascular reintervention rate and mortality rate. The measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s), one-way analysis of variance was used for inter-group comparison, and paired sample t-test was used for intra-group comparison. The Chi-square test was used for comparison between count data. Results:The success rate of operation was 100% in 44 patients. The rate of major amputation in ASO group was 10.3%, while the other two groups had a major amputation rate of 0. The minor amputation rates of the three groups were 6.9%, 25.0% and 28.6%, respectively. The vascular reintervention rate was 10.3% in ASO group, 12.5% in DF group and 0 in TAO group. The 1-year mortality rate in the ASO group was 10.3%, while the other two groups had a mortality rate of 0. The 2-year mortality rate of the three group were 31.0%, 12.5% and 0, respectively.Conclusion:For the treatment of lower extremity arterial ischemic diseases, ELA is safe and effective, but the curative effect need to further clarify by large sample and long-term clinical follow-up observation.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of excimer laser atherectomy (ELA) in the treatment of diabetic foot with infrapopliteal arteriopathy.Methods:The clinical data of 36 patients (40 limbs) with diabetic foot complicated with inferior knee artery disease treated by ELA in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People′s Hospital from December 2019 to May 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The success rate of ELA in the treatment of diabetic inferior genicular artery disease, ankle-brachial index (ABI), limb salvage rate and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score at 3 days and 3 and 6 months after operation was observed.Results:All the 36 patients were operated successfully, including 2 cases of flow-limiting dissection, 2 cases of arterial embolism and 1 case of hematoma at the puncture point. The ABI of patients 3, 6 months after operation was significantly higher than that before operation (all P<0.05), and the VAS score 3, 6 months after operation was significantly lower than that before operation (all P<0.05). The rate of limb (toe) salvage were 92.5%(37/40), 82.5%(33/40) at 3 d, 3 months and 77.5%(31/40) at 6 months after operation. Conclusions:ELA is safe and effective in the treatment of diabetic foot infrapopliteal arteriopathy, and the recent efficacy is fair.

Objective To explore the feasibility of rapid and sutureless anastomosis of artificial vascular replacement of abdominal aorta in dog models using magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA) technique. Methods Twelve healthy adult crossbred dogs were evenly divided into the MCA and hand suturing (HS) groups according to the anastomosis method between abdominal aorta and artificial blood vessels. The intraoperative duration of abdominal aorta occlusion, intraoperative condition of anastomotic stoma and postoperative imaging examination of anastomotic stoma were compared between two groups. Results The intraoperative duration of abdominal aorta occlusion in the MCA group was significantly shorter than that in the HS group [(5.2±2.3) min vs. (24.4±4.3) min, P < 0.001]. No anastomotic leakage of blood or anastomotic stenosis occurred in the MCA group during the operation. Intraoperative anastomotic leakage of blood occurred in all of the 6 dogs in the HS group. Among them, 1 dog died of excessive blood loss, and 2 dogs experienced mild anastomotic stenosis due to repeated repair. Postoperative color Doppler ultrasound and angiography showed smooth blood flow at the anastomotic stoma without stenosis or thrombosis in the MCA group. In the HS group, 4 dogs presented with anastomotic stenosis on angiography at postoperative 4 weeks. Conclusions MCA technique may achieve rapid and sutureless anastomosis of artificial vascular replacement of abdominal aorta in dog models, which reduces the incidence of anastomotic complications and accelerates postoperative recovery.

Objective:To explore the strategies for the treatment of difficult iliac artery approach in endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm.Methods:The clinical data of 275 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm who underwent endovascular surgery at the Department of Vascular Surgery, People′s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from March 2010 to March 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, and the general clinical data such as age, gender, and comorbidities of the patients were recorded. The resource index was to carry out corresponding measures to perform surgery for patients with difficult access, analyze the incidence of the type of difficult access, treatment measures and effects.Results:Two hundred and seventy-five patients underwent endovascular repair, 78 of them (28.3%) had difficulty in accessing the iliac artery, including 29 cases (10.5%) with mild iliac artery stenosis, 7 cases (2.54%) with severe stenosis, and 3 cases with occlusion ( 1.09%), 39 cases (14.2%) were twisted. For patients with vascular twist, super-hard guide wire was used to correct iliac artery angulation. For patients with iliac artery stenosis, balloon dilation was performed. For severe stenosis, the artificial blood vessel was passed through the lateral peritoneum. After road transplantation, stent placement and other treatments were successfully performed endovascular repair.Conclusions:Pathway vascular disease can cause difficulties in endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Endovascular repair can be successfully performed after corresponding treatments according to different difficulties, and the long-term patency rate is good.

【Objective】 To evaluate the performance of the magnetic artificial blood vessel device for fast non-suture anastomosis of caval reconstruction with artificial blood vessel transplantation after resection in canines. 【Methods】 Sixteen adult mongrel dogs of either gender were randomly divided into two groups for vena cava reconstruction with artificial blood vessel transplantation after inferior vena cava (IVC) resection. Group MCA (n=8): magnetic artificial blood vessel device for IVC reconstruction; Group manual sewing (MS) (n=8): hand suturing for IVC reconstruction. Operation time and stoma errhysis were recorded during operation. Patency and stoma stenosis were confirmed via color Doppler ultrasound scanning and X-ray cholangiography at different time points as late as 4 weeks after surgery. 【Results】 The time required to perform the vascular anastomosis was significantly shorter for the magnetic artificial blood vessel device (6.25±2.25)min than for MS (27.32±5.12)min (P<0.001). There were four cases of stoma errhysis in MS group which had to be repaired (P=0.077). Vascular X-ray angiography and color Doppler ultrasound found normal blood flow and no stoma stenosis in MCA group, but three cases of stoma stenosis in MS groups (P=0.200). Compared with MS group, the magnetic ring device stoma was associated with smooth re-endothelialization and depressed infiltration of inflammatory cells at the anastomotic site. 【Conclusion】 The magnetic artificial blood vessel device offers a simple, fast, reliable, and efficacious technique for vena cava reconstruction with artificial blood vessel transplantation.

Objective:To investigate and compare the efficacy and safety of percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) combined with catheter directed thrombolysis and catheter directed thrombolysis alone in the treatment of acute lower extremity deep venous thrombosis.Methods:Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 69 patients with acute lower extremity deep venous thrombosis who met the inclusion criteria of this study from January 2018 to December 2018 in department of vascular surgery, People′s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region was performed. There were 35 males and 34 females, with an average age of 59 years and an age rang of 20 to 80 years. Patients were divided into PMT combined catheter directed thrombolysis treated group ( n=38) and catheter directed thrombolysis treated group ( n=31) according to different methods of intra-luminal thrombolysis. The thrombolysis time, dosage of urokinase, thrombotic clearance rate, perimeter difference of suffered limb, and total number of adverse events during perioperative period between two groups were recorded. At 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after discharge, patients underwent an ultrasonographic examination of lower extremity vessels to check and evaluate residual thrombolysis and thrombosis recurrence by outpatient review. The quantitative data in the two groups were expressed as mean±standard deviation( Mean± SD), t test was used for comparison between groups. Enumeration data in the two groups were expressed as percentage (%) and χ2 test was used for comparison between groups. Results:The thrombolysis time of PMT combined catheter directed thrombolysis treated group and catheter directed thrombolysis treated group were (3.7±2.1) d and (5.2±2.1) d, respectively. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P=0.005). The dosage of urokinase were respectively (225.0±122.3)×10 4 units and (315.8±108.6)×10 4 units, the differences were statistically significant ( P=0.001). PMTⅠ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ thrombus clearance rate in patients with PMT combined catheter directed thrombolysis treated group were 18.4% (7/38), 73.7% (28/38), 7.9% (3/38), while 16.1% (5/31), 77.4% (24/31), 6.5% (2/31) were observed in patients with catheter directed thrombolysis treated group, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P= 0.803, P=0.720, P=0.818). After a period of 48h thrombolytic therapy, the cross-section diameters of suffered thigh and calf were (2.16±0.87) cm and (1.38±0.66) cm in PMT combined catheter directed thrombolysis treated group respectively. While the cross-section diameters of suffered thigh and calf were (1.21±0.59) cm and (1.02±0.49) cm in catheter directed thrombolysis treated group respectively. The differences in the cross-section diameters of suffered thigh and calf were statistically significant after a period of 48h thrombolytic therapy ( P<0.001, P=0.014). Three cases (7.89%) had occurred adverse events during perioperative period in PMT combined catheter directed thrombolysis treated group, while there were 4 cases (12.90%) in catheter directed thrombolysis treated group, with no statistically significant difference between two groups ( P=0.692). The six month follow-up rate of PMT combined with catheter directed thrombolysis treated group was 71.05%(27/38), while that of the catheter directed thrombolysis treated group was 64.52% (20/31), with no statistically significant difierence between the two groups ( P=0.532). During the six month of follow-up, the recurrence rate of thrombus in PMT combined catheter directed thrombolysis treated group (3/27, 11.11%) was lower than those patients in catheter directed thrombolysis treated group (3/20, 15.00%), with no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P=0.693). Conclusions:Compared with catheter directed thrombolysis treated group, PMT combined catheter directed thrombolysis treated group has a similar clinical efficacy for treatment of acute lower extremity deep venous thrombosis. PMT combined catheter directed thrombolysis treated group has advantages of reducing dosage of urokinase, shortening duration of thrombolysis time and relieving the swelling of suffered limb in a short time rather than catheter directed thrombolysis treated group. It shows a great result in the short term follow up.

Objective: To explore the clinical application indications, filter selection and filter removal techniques of inferior vena cava filter. Methods: Retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 108 cases of inferior vena cava filter implantation in the Department of Vascular Surgery, People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January 2018 to February 2019 was performed. One hundred and eight patients with inferior vena cava filter were eligible for filter placement, including 50 males and 58 females; the average age was 59 years, and the age ranged from 23 to 90 years. Different types of inferior vena cava filters were selected according to the patient's condition, the location of the thrombus, the type of surgery and the prognosis of the disease. In this study, lower extremity vascular ultrasound was performed by the outpatient in 2 weeks after the filter placement, 1 month after the operation, 2 months after the operation, and 3 months after the operation. The inferior vena cava filter was recovered by a catcher. Loop technology, Loop and biopsy forceps were used for patients with difficult filter recovery. After removal of the filter, the angiography confirmed the integrity of the inferior vena cava wall. Observe whether the filter was completed, deformed, broken and whether there was thrombus in the filter. Results: The removal of inferior vena cava filter was performed in patients with no free floating thrombus or fresh thrombus in popliteal, femoral, iliac and inferior vena cava confirmed by ultrasound. In this group, 108 patients with inferior vena cava filter implantation included 11 patients anticoagulant contraindications, 11 patients with pulmonary embolism, 5 patients with floating thrombosis in iliac vein, femoral vein or inferior vena cava, 35 patients with acute deep venous thrombosis of lower extremity received catheter-directed thrombolysis or percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy, 46 patients with abdominal, pelvic or lower extremity surgery for acute deep venous thrombosis of lower extremity and high risk factors of pulmonary embolism. One hundred and three patients received retrievable inferior vena cava filters and 5 patients received temporary inferior vena cava filters. Ninety-two patients were followed up successfully in this group. In 74 patients, the filter trap was recovered using a catcher, and the inferior vena cava filter of 12 patients were successfully removed by Loop technology and Loop with biopsy forceps.The success rate of the filter removal was 93.5%. After removal of the filter, angiography of inferior vena cava showed smooth wall, blood flow patency and no extravasation of contrast agent. The removal filters have normal shape, no fracture and no deformation. Conclusions Operators should strictly observe the indication of inferior vena cava filter placement, master a variety of filter removal methods to improve the success rate of filter removal and maximize the benefit of patients with inferior vena cava filter implantation.

Objective To analyze and summarize the experience of surgical treatment of carotid body tumor and prevention of relevant complications.Methods The clinical data of 45 cases of carotid body tumor diagnosed and treated by Department of Vascular Surgery,People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from August 1996 to June 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients were followed up for 18 months and were followed up in Department of Vascular Surgery,People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region inpatient or outpatient review form,the main observation during follow-up of patients with postoperative complications and recovery.Carotid compression test (Matas test) will be performed 2 weeks preoperation.There were 20 males (4 carotid body lesions located on both sides,16 carotid body lesions on the unilateral side) and 25 females (1 carotid body lesion located on both sides of the neck,neck arteriomatous lesions in unilateral patients were 24 cases),duration of 0.5 to 6.0 years,the average duration of 3 years,analysis of postoperative complications.Results All the operations were successful.There were no perioperative deaths.Among the 45 patients undergoing surgical treatment,one or more surgical procedures were used.Thirty patients were followed up and the remaining 15 patients were lost to follow-up.During an average follow-up of 18 months,complications included 1 stroke,8 hypoglossal nerve injury,13 vagal injury ard 9 homer syndrome.No recurrence of patients was followed up within 6 months,the basic symptoms of nerve injury,1 case of vagus nerve and the tumor was followed up for 6 months,there was still difficulty swallowing and hoarseness.Five cases of bilateral lesions,including 3 cases underwent bilateral staging surgery,the operation was successful.One case of unilateral excision after vagal injury,it did not contralateral surgery;one case of one-sided surgery after the lost,the contralateral did not receive surgery.Conclusions Hoarseness after operation is not caused by recurrent laryngeal nerve injury,and it was recommended that bilateran lesions with smaller one should removed firstly.Matas test could not be regarded as criterion of intraoperative ligation during the operation.

Objective To discuss the application of double parallel stent for preserving arch branch vessels during thoracic endovascular aortic repair.Methods During the period from June 2015 to June 2016,double parallel stents were carried out in 9 cases at department of vascular surgery,the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.Results One patient died of an acute ischemic stroke and subsequently resulted in multiple organ failure after thoracic endovascular aortic repair.Eight patients received an aorta CT angiography during follow up at 1,3,6 months.During follow up,the patency rate for double parallel stents was 100％.There were no endoleak in 8 cases.Conclusion Double parallel stents are suited to patients with emergency situation and unsuited to open surgery in complicated aortic arch pathologies.Surgical approach is determined by preoperative evaluation.Prevention of endoleak and stroke is important in all cases.
