Arterial Insufficiency

Purpose: Abdominal angina is an early clinical expression of occlusive mesenteric arterial insufficiency, a condition that requires aggressive treatment to prevent intestinal infarction. We report a case of chronic mesenteric ischemia in a young polyvascular man who had symptoms of abdominal angina. Methods and Results: An aortic angiogram revealed a significant ostial stenosis of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) associated with an occlusion of the inferior mesenteric artery. After predilation of the ostial portion of the SMA, significant residual stenosis remained. A balloon-expandable Palmaz P154 stent was deployed, restoring adequate luminal dimensions and blood flow. The patient was discharged after 2 days and remains asymptomatic at 5 months. Conclusion: Intraluminal stenting for treatment of mesenteric ischemia represents a viable alternative to surgical revascularization in selected cases.

The article reflects the results of a retrospective non-comparative study, the objects of which were 34 outpatient comorbid patients (15 of which are over 60 years old) with chronic wounds of the lower limbs developed against the background of varicosity, post-thrombotic disease, chronic arterial insufficiency of the lower limbs, diabetes mellitus or their combination. Their local treatment was carried out using atraumatic ointment dressing «Branolind N» containing Peruvian balsam. There were 23 women (67.6 %) and 11 men (32.4 %). In microbiological study prior to the beginning of treatment in 31 patients the growth of a pathogen of wound infection was revealed; in 19 patients — Staphylococcus aureus in monoculture and in various associations, in 6 patients — Pseudomonas aeruginosa in monoculture, in other cases — other pathogens. In 3 patients the pathogen was not detected. The average wound size was 34 cm2 . The phase of the wound process was additionally confirmed by cytological studies. After treatment the average area of the wound defect decreased by 10 cm2 and made 24 cm2 on average. Full healing of the wound defect occurred in 11 patients, the others had granulation and active marginal epithelization. There was also a decrease in bacterial semination of wounds, a change in composition of infection agents to less aggressive monoflora, and cytologically — a decrease in signs of inflammation against the background of significant activation of reparative processes.

Superior Mesenteric Artery Dissection

Abstract Background Most patients with isolated superior mesenteric artery (SMA) dissection are successfully managed conservatively. However, some patients require more invasive treatment. Case presentation We herein describe a 45-year-old man with isolated SMA dissection. He initially underwent conservative treatment. However, because of persistent abdominal angina, we considered the need for surgical revascularization. He was successfully treated by endarterectomy, patch angioplasty, and retrograde open mesenteric stenting. The abdominal angina was stabilized thereafter. Conclusions The combination of endarterectomy, patch angioplasty, and retrograde open mesenteric stenting is useful for isolated SMA dissection, and long patency can be expected for some patients.

This study investigated the effect of physical training on muscle blood flow (BF) in rats with peripheral arterial insufficiency during treadmill running. Bilateral stenosis of the femoral artery of adult rats (300-350 g) was performed to reduce exercise hyperemia in the hindlimb but not limit resting muscle BF. Rats were divided into normal sedentary, acute stenosed (stenosed 3 days before the experiment), stenosed sedentary (limited to cage activity), and stenosed trained (run on a treadmill by a progressively intense program, up to 50-60 min/day, 5 days/wk for 6-8 wk). Hindlimb BF was determined with 85Sr- and 141Ce-labeled microspheres at a low (20 m/min) and high treadmill speed (30-40 m/min depending on ability). Maximal hindlimb BF was reduced to approximately 50% normal in the acute stenosed group. Total hindlimb BF (81 +/- 5 ml.min-1.100 g-1) did not change in stenosed sedentary animals with 6-8 wk of cage activity, but a redistribution of BF occurred within the hindlimb. Two factors contributed to a higher BF to the distal limb muscle of the trained animals. A redistribution BF within the hindlimb occurred in stenosed trained animals; distal limb BF increased to approximately 80% (P less than 0.001) of the proximal tissue. In addition, an increase in total hindlimb BF with training indicates that collateral BF has been enhanced (P less than 0.025). The associated increase in oxygen delivery to the relatively ischemic muscle probably contributed to the markedly improved exercise tolerance evident in the trained animals.
