Osteochondroma is the most common benign tumor of the bone, seen mostly during adolescence. In the current study, we report a 19-year-old male patient with a two-week history of pain and swelling of the medial side of his right thigh just above the knee without any trauma. CT angiography revealed a popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm and its close relationship with a femoral osteochondroma. Surgical repair consisted of repair of pseudoaneurysm and removal of osteochondroma. In young patients, a non-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of distal femoral artery may be a complication of an osteochondroma and this treatable pathology should be looked for to prevent recurrence.
ÖZETVaris operasyonu sonrası derin ven trombozu (DVT) gelişmesi ve buna sekonder masif pulmoner emboli (PE) oldukça nadirdir. Masif PE sonrası senkop, sistemik arteriyel hipotansiyon, kardiyojenik şok veya kardiyak arest gelişen hastalar en yüksek riskli grubu oluşturmakta ve hemodinamik olarak stabil olmayan hastalarda mortalite %15-25 civarında tahmin edilmektedir. Kardiyak arest gelişen hastalarda %50'nin üzerinde mortalite olduğu bildirilmiştir. Masif pulmoner emboliye sekonder kardiyak arrest sonrası yapılan kardiyopulmoner resüsitasyon sırasında tromboliz uygulanması yeni ve göreceli olarak güvenilir bir tedavi seçeneği olarak sunulmaktadır. Kliniğimizde varis operasyonu sonrası geçirdiği masif pulmoner emboliye sekonder kardiyak arest gelişen 50 yaşında bayan hastaya en muhtemel sebebin pulmoner emboli olacağı düşünülerek resüsitasyon ile eş zamanlı trombolitik tedavi uygulandı. Yaklaşık 2 saat süren resüsitasyon sonrası hastanın hemodinamisi stabilize edildi. Yoğun bakım ünitesinde 21 gün süren takip sürecinden sonra herhangi bir nörolojik sekel olmadan taburcu edildi. Kardiyak areste sebep olan masif pulmoner emboli acilen müdahale edilmesi gereken ciddi bir komplikasyondur. Kardiyak resüsitasyon sırasında eş zamanlı tromboliz uygulanması kısa sürede tedavinin başlanmasını sağlamakta ve resüsitasyonun başarılı olmasında önemli rol oynamaktadır. Özellikle PE tanısının kuvvetle muhtemel olduğu hastalarda hızla trombolitik tedavi başlanması görece-li olarak güvenli bir tedavi seçeneği olup, hayat kurtarıcı olabilmektedir. Trombolitik uygulamaya alternatif tedaviler cerrahi embolektomi, kateteryardımlı embolektomi ve inferior vena kavaya filtre yerleştirilmesi olabilir ve trombolitik tedaviye kontraendikasyon olması veya başlangıç tedavisine yanıt alınamaması durumunda düşünülmelidirler. (JAREM 2011; 1: 26-7) Anahtar Sözcükler: Varis operasyonu, pulmoner emboli, trombolitik tedavi ABSTRACT Development of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) after varicose vein surgery is a rare complication. Once developed, acute massive pulmonary embolism (PE) carries an exceptionally high mortality rate. Many deaths occur in hemodynamically unstable patients and the estimated mortality for inpatients with hemodynamic instability is between 15% and 25%. Thrombolysis during cardiopulmonary resuscitation may represent a new and relatively safe therapeutic option during resuscitation after cardiac arrest due to acute fulminant pulmonary embolism. We used thrombolysis during cardiopulmonary resuscitation for a 50 year old female patient who developed cardiac arrest during mobilization one day after varicose vein surgery. She had varicose veins on the pretibial area and venous Doppler examination revealed grade III-IV insufficiency of the great saphenous vein without any deep venous pathology. She underwent stripping and extraction of venous dilatations with spinal anesthesia. Upon development of cardiac arrest, PE was suspected to be the most probable underlying pathology and thrombolytic treatment was s...
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to analyze the outcome results of coronary bypass : operations from a single institution. The post-operative neurologic complications have been analyzed in detail in order to fi nd out the risk factors and the relation of age and occurrence of neurologic complications has been assessed. Patients and Methods: In this retrospective study, we analyzed the prospectively collected data : of 510 coronary bypass patients. Neurological morbidity and mortality were evaluated with logistic regression analysis for elderly patients. Results: Of these 510 patients, 382 (74.9%) were male and 89 (17.5%) were older than 70 years : of age. Post-operative mortality, pulmonary and neurologic morbidity occurred in 27 (5.3%), 78 (15.3%) and 26 (5.1%) patients, respectively. The comparison of patients with ≤ 70 and > 70 years of age showed that the differences were signifi cant (mortality 4.0% vs. 11.2%, p= 0.012; pulmonary morbidity 13.5% vs. 23.6%, p= 0.022; neurologic morbidity 3.3% vs. 13.5%, p= 0.0001). Presence of cerebrovascular disease (odds ratio= 4.72; p= 0.014) and advanced age (odds ratio= 3.55; p= 0.016) were independent predictors of neurologic complications. Every year increase above 51.5 years of age was associated with 5.8% (p= 0.049) increased neurologic complication risk. Conclusion: Elderly patients have higher rates of mortality, pulmonary and neurologic morbid: ity after coronary bypass operations. Although no signifi cant associations were found between age and mortality, age constitutes an independent risk factor for neurologic morbidity along with presence cerebrovascular disease.
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurismal disease has increasingly gained widespread application. Aneurysm extends into at least one of the iliac arteries in approximately 20%-30% of patients. The presence of an internal iliac artery aneurysm is one of the most important issues that may dictate a modified approach in EVAR. Herein, we aimed to emphasize the interventional skills that surgeons should have in daily practice in a patient who had abdominal aortic aneurysm concomitantly with an internal iliac artery aneurysm. Coil embolization was performed for the internal iliac artery aneurysm.Key Words: Abdominal aortic aneurysm; endovascular procedures; iliac aneurysm; peripheral vascular diseases; coil embolization Bir Olgu Sunumu ile Kardiyovasküler Cerrahide Girişimsel Gereklilikler: Coil Embolizasyon ÖZETAbdominal aort anevrizmasının endovasküler onarımı (EVAR) giderek artan oranlarda kullanılmaktadır. Anevrizma, hastaların %20 ila %30'unda iliyak arterlerin en az birini etkilemektedir. İnternal iliyak arter anevrizması, EVAR'da modifikasyona ihtiyaç gösteren en önemli konulardan biridir. Abdominal aort anevrizması ile birlikte internal iliyak arter anevrizması da bulunan ve bu sebepten ötürü internal iliyak artere coil embolizasyonu yapılan bu olgu sunumunda cerrahların günlük pratiklerinde ihtiyaç duyabilecekleri girişimsel ihtiyaçların vurgulanmasını hedefledik.
