In patients with severe carotid artery stenosis who developed transient ischemic attack, carotid endarterectomy is one of the most effective treatments. In particular, in patients with contralateral carotid artery lesions, there is a risk of serious neurologic complications during the intra-operative period. Experienced staff can perform simultaneous bilateral carotid endarterectomy safely in carefully selected patients. The advantages of regional anaesthesia in carotid endarterectomy are evaluation of intra-operative neurological condition and defining correct indications for shunt usage. It is a cheap, reliable and easy method that reduces the length of stay in the intensive care unit and in the hospital and may influence the overall cost of care. However, it is important to make dose adjustments to avoid potential complications of nerve involvement during bilateral procedure. In this case report, we share our experiences regarding bilateral carotid endarterectomy under cervical plexus blockade. Keywords:Cervical plexus, nerve block, carotid endarterectomy, carotid stenosis Geçici iskemik atak geçirmiş ve ciddi karotis arter darlığı bulunan hastalarda halen karotis endarterektomisi en etkin tedavi yöntem-lerinden biridir. Özellikle karşı taraf karotis arterinde de lezyonu bulunan hastalar intraoperatif ciddi nörolojik komplikasyon riski altındadır. Eş zamanlı bilateral karotis endarterektomileri deneyimli ekip ve uygun hasta seçimiyle güvenle yapılabilmektedir. Karotis endarterektomilerinde rejyonal anestezinin avantajları intraoperatif nörolojik durumu değerlendirebilme ve doğru şant endikasyonunu koyabilmeye olanak sağlamasıdır. Ucuz, güvenilir ve kolay bir yöntem olduğu kadar hastanede ve yoğun bakımda kalış süresini kısaltarak hastane maliyetini de düşürür. Özellikle bilateral uygulamalar sırasında sinir tutulumlarının olası komplikasyonlarından kaçınmak için doz ayarlaması yapılması önemlidir. Bu olgu sunumunda servikal pleksus blokajı ile yapılan bilateral karotis endarterektomisi deneyimimizi paylaştık. 367 Giriş S erebrovasküler hastalıklar, tüm dünyada, kanser ve kalp hastalıklarından sonra en çok ölüme neden olan hastalıklar-dır. Karotis arterlerin darlığı, serebrovasküler hastalıkların en önemli nedenlerinden biri olup tüm inmelerin %20 -25'inden sorumludur (1). Karotis endarterektomisi (KEA) %70'in üzerinde darlığı olan semptomatik hastalarda altın standart tedavi şekli iken, asemptomatik hasta grubu için tartışma halen devam etmektedir (2). KEA yüksek dereceli internal karotis arter darlığı olan semptomatik hastalarda inme riskini azaltır. Bilateral karotis arter stenozu sık olmakla beraber, aynı seansta endarterektomi yapılması fazla tercih edilmemektedir. Yaygın olarak basamaklı endarterektomi yaklaşımı kabul görmektedir. Bununla birlikte özellikle iki taraflı %90 ve üzeri darlığı olan, ülsere, kalsifik ve emboli riski yüksek plakları bulunan hastalarda, basamaklı tedavi arasındaki sürede yüksek emboli riski nedeniyle aynı seansta bilateral endarterektomi tercih edilmektedir.Karotis endarterekto...
Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of IMA and the effect of Type-2 diabetes in peripheral arterial ischemic patient. Methods: In our study, randomized patient groups to be undergone peripheral surgery, consisting of 16 diabetic and 12 non-diabetic patients diagnosed with peripheral arterial disease, have been examined. After standard anesthesia, the surgery was performed by the same surgical team, blood samples were taken before and after cross-clamp, and the levels of ischemia modified albumin (IMA), which is a new ischemic marker, were studied spectrophotometrically. Demographic data were compared with the type-2 diabetes association. Results: In this study, we found that there were no correlation with the ankle brachial index (ABI) and risk factors of diabetes between postoperative IMA levels (P: 0.47). Preoperative IMA serum blood levels were significantly higher in patients with peripheral arterial disease (P: 0.70), and positively associated with ABI (diabetic group P: 0.04, non-diabetic group P: 00). Also, no correlation was found with X clamp times, ABI, and IMA blood levels (P: 0.30). In diabetic group, ischemia marker increase was high and there was a positive correlation between HbA1c levels (P: 0.002). Conclusion: Our study suggested that, preoperative serum IMA levels were positively associated with ABI. In diabetic group, the increase in IMA levels was high and there was positive correlation between HbA1c levels. IMA was a benefit marker for monitoring and early diagnosis of the peripheral arterial disease.
Background: The aim of this study is to compare radial artery with saphenous vein grafts which are widely used for coronary bypass, from views of patients' satisfaction and postoperative findings. Methods: 42 isolated coronary bypass (CABG) patients performed during November 2012-April 2013 are included in the study. 30 days after the operation, in patients who had both RA and SV removal made responses to a questionnaire form which included 6 questions about symptoms of extremity. Results: After analyzing the responses and physical examination, there was no difference in terms of quality of life and usefulness of the extremity for daily use between two grafts. 2 patients (2%) have wound infection on the saphenous vein incision and additional surgical procedure was performed and a scar tissue has occurred. There was no statistically significance between uncomfortable symptoms and demographic data. Conclusion: Our study suggested that RA graft using showed a bit more comfortable and suitable effect against SV in our patients. We think that radial arterial grafts should be used more widely in coronary surgery with selected patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
