Objective. To study the effectiveness of endovascular laser coagulation in patients with recurrent varicose veins in their lower extremities.Material and methods. Outcomes after the treatment of 54 patients with varicose vein relapses in the lower extremities were analyzed. Under the tumescent anesthesia, endovascular laser coagulation was made: in 5 patients – stump of the great saphenous vein; in 22 patients – recanalized, residual and preserved subcutaneous venous trunks; in 27 patients – insufficient communicating veins of the thigh and lower leg.Results and discussion. In average, surgery lasted for 31 ± 0.6 minutes; intensity of the postoperative pain syndrome was 3.4 ± 0.4 points. Early postoperative complications were registered in 1 (1.8 %) patient, side effects in the form of hyperpigmentation and paraesthesia – in 4 (7.4 %). In 12 months, all operated patients demonstrated an improvement in all parameters of their quality of life by 29.2– 40 %; cosmetic outcome after surgery was 7.8 points out of a ten-point scale. The long-term observation revealed the relapse in varicose veins only in 1 (1.8 %) patient.Conclusion. The justified use of endovasal laser coagulation in patients with relapses of varicose veins in the lower extremities allows to avoid manipulations in the area of scar-altered tissues, to reduce tissue damage and duration of surgery, to improve patients’ quality of life, to avoid additional incisions as well as to improve cosmetic outcomes after surgery.
СОВРЕМЕННЫЕ БИОМАРКЕРЫ ОСТРОЙ ИНТЕСТИНАЛЬНОЙ ИШЕМИИПервыйОстрая интестинальная ишемия является одной из наиболее сложных проблем в ургентной хирургии в силу высокой летальности, одной из причин которой является поздняя диагностика. Оперативное лече-ние часто проводится в фазу разлитого перитонита.С целью выделения наиболее доступных и точных способов ранней диагностики острой интести-нальной ишемии выполнен данный обзор литературы.В настоящее время для диагностики острой интестинальной ишемии используют немногочислен-ный ряд биомаркеров, таких как α-глутамат-S-трансфераза, D-димеры, прокальцитонин, D-лактат, кишеч-ный белок, связывающий жирные кислоты (I-FABP), ишемия-модифицированный альбумин. По данным литературы, наиболее высокие показатели чувствительности и специфичности выявлены у I-FABP (75-85% и 70-80% соответственно), α-глутамат-S-трансферазы (67,8% и 84,2%), ишемия-модифицированного альбумина (94,7% и 86,4%). Кроме этого, для ранней диагностики в настоящее время используются до-рогостоящие и инвазивные методы, такие как КТ-ангиография, МРТ с контрастированием, селективная ангиография, однако данные технологии доступны не всем лечебным учреждениям.Для решения проблемы улучшения ранней диагностики острой интестинальной ишемии следует про-водить дальнейший поиск различных биомаркеров и их более широкое внедрение в клиническую практику. Ключевые слова: острая интестинальная ишемия, биомаркеры, диагностика, мезентериальный тромбоз, кишечный белок, связывающий жирные кислоты (I-FABP)The acute mesenteric ischemia is one of the most complex problems in the urgent surgery because of the high mortality, the cause of which is late diagnosis. The operation treatment is often provided in the phase of diffuse peritonitis.This literature review is done in order to identify the most accessible and accurate methods of early diagnosis of the acute mesenteric ischemia.At present time rather a small number of biomarkers for diagnosing the acute mesenteric ischemia are used, such as α-glutamate-S-transferase, D-dimers, procalcitonin, D-lactate, intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP), ischemia-modified albumin. According to the literature the highest sensitivity and specificity were found in I-FABP (75-85% and 70-80% respectively), α-glutamate-S-transferase (67.8% and 84.2%), ischemia-modified albumin (94.7% and 86.4%). In addition, expensive and invasive methods are currently used for early diagnosis, such as CT angiography, contrast-enhanced MRI, selective angiography. However, these technologies are not available to all medical institutions.We should continue further search of various biomarkers and their more widespread introduction to clinical practice in order to solve the problem of early acute mesenteric ischemia diagnostics.
