Blumgart anastomosis for pancreaticojejunostomy minimizes severe complications after pancreatic head resection
Authors: Kleespies A , Rentsch M , Seeliger H , Albertsmeier M , Jauch K-W , Bruns C J 
Published: June 2009

Abstract

Background
Leakage from the pancreaticojejunostomy is the major cause of septic complications after partial pancreaticoduodenectomy. This study evaluated a new transpancreatic ∪-suture technique (Blumgart anastomosis, BA), which aims to avoid shear forces during knot-tying.

Methods
Using a before–after study design, BA was compared with a modified Cattell–Warren anastomosis (CWA). Two patient cohorts (CWA, 90; BA, 92), which were similar with respect to primary diagnosis, age, sex and American Society of Anesthesiologists score, were compared retrospectively. Dependent variables were surgical and overall morbidity and mortality after partial pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Results
Duration of operation (354 versus 328 min for CWA versus BA; P = 0·002), pancreatic leakage rate (13 versus 4 per cent; P = 0·032), postoperative haemorrhage (11 versus 3 per cent; P = 0·040), total surgical complications (31 versus 15 per cent; P = 0·011), general complications (36 versus 17 per cent; P = 0·005) and length of intensive care unit stay (median 5·4 versus 2·8 days; P = 0·015) were significantly reduced after BA. These effects were not related merely to an improvement over time.

Conclusion
BA appears to be a fast, simple and safe technique for pancreaticojejunostomy. It might reduce leakage rates and surgical complications after partial pancreaticoduodenectomy.

AbstractBackgroundPerioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion may be associated with a poor prognosis in cancer surgery. Allogeneic leucocytes are assumed to play a causal role. This study evaluated the long-term effect of transfusion with leucocyte-depleted (LD) blood in patients with gastrointestinal cancer.MethodsThe Transfusion Associated Complications = Transfusion Induced Complications? (TACTIC) study is a multicentre randomized controlled trial evaluating the short-term benefits of LD versus non-LD RBC transfusions. The present study evaluated 5-year survival and cancer recurrence among 512 patients with gastrointestinal cancer included in the TACTIC study.ResultsSome 89·2 per cent of patients had a primary tumour and 79·7 per cent underwent surgery with curative intent; 243 patients received perioperative RBC transfusion (median 3 units). The 5-year overall survival rate of patients with any type of gastrointestinal cancer was 50·8 per cent in the LD group and 45·8 per cent in the non-LD group (P = 0·191). Corresponding 5-year disease-free survival rates were 60·0 and 56·6 per cent (P = 0·482), and recurrence rates 32·9 and 34·3 per cent (P = 0·864).ConclusionLeucocyte depletion is not associated with better long-term survival and lower recurrence rates in patients with gastrointestinal cancer.
Improving the efficacy of sacral nerve stimulation for faecal incontinence by alteration of stimulation parameters
Authors: Dudding T C , Vaizey C J , Gibbs A , Kamm M A 
Published: June 2009

Abstract

Background
Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) is an effective treatment for faecal incontinence, but only standard stimulation parameters have been used. This study assessed the clinical impact of altering the parameters.

Methods
Twelve patients with partially improved faecal incontinence following SNS underwent acute testing to select optimal stimulation parameters; rectal compliance was used as a surrogate marker. Parameters tested were: stimulation off; frequency 14 (standard), 31 or 6·9 Hz; and pulse duration 210 (standard), 450 or 90 µs. Patients completed a 2-week bowel diary, St Mark's continence score (SMCS) and Rockwood faecal incontinence quality-of-life (FIQL) score before testing using standard settings, and after testing using optimized settings.

Results
Optimal settings, determined by greatest increase in rectal compliance, were shorter pulse width in five patients and higher frequency in seven. Optimized stimulation resulted in a decrease in mean episodes of incontinence from 2·3 to 1·2 per week (P = 0·031), soiling from 3·3 to 1·7 days per week (P = 0·016), faecal urgency from 31 to 18 per cent of all evacuations (P = 0·055) and SMCS from 12·3 to 8·7 (P = 0·008); the FIQL coping/behaviour score improved (P = 0·008).

Conclusion
With a shorter pulse width and higher frequency, clinical efficacy in patients undergoing SNS for faecal incontinence can be improved.
Risk of tumour progression in early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma after radiofrequency ablation
Authors: Fernandes M L , Lin C-C , Lin C-J , Chen W-T , Lin S-M 
Published: June 2009

Abstract

Background
This study aimed objectively to quantify the risk of tumour progression beyond the Milan criteria following radiofrequency (RF) ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to identify factors associated with tumour progression.

Methods
Some 111 patients (136 tumours) with liver cirrhosis undergoing RF ablation for HCC within Milan criteria between February 2004 and June 2007 were enrolled in the study. Data were analysed retrospectively from a prospectively collected database.

Results
The cumulative probability of tumour progression beyond the Milan criteria at 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months of RF ablation was 6·4, 11·0, 16·1, 21·2 and 44·8 per cent respectively. On multivariable analysis, factors independently associated with tumour progression were failure to achieve primary technique effectiveness (P = 0·005), α-fetoprotein level above 200 ng/ml (P = 0·013) and Child–Pugh grade B cirrhosis (P = 0·034). Failure to achieve primary RF ablation technique effectiveness was associated with tumour location in segment VIII (P = 0·033), a cool-down temperature of 70 °C or less (P = 0·043) and multiple overlapping ablations (P = 0·029).

Conclusion
This study provides clinicians with an objective risk of tumour progression beyond the Milan criteria after RF ablation at multiple time points. Primary technique failure is identified as a risk factor for tumour progression.

AbstractObjectives:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV) in symptomatic rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) patients with left atrial (LA) thrombus and to address the technical issues.Background:LA thrombus in patients with MS has long been regarded as a contraindication for BMV. There are few reports of BMV in presence of LA appendage (LAA) thrombus and reports of BMV in presence of LA body thrombus are still rare.Methods:2,763 patients with suitable valve morphology were screened for BMV. 194 patients had LA/LAA thrombus and were put on adequate anticoagulation for 8–12 weeks. A total of 108 patients with persistent LA thrombus who satisfied the inclusion criteria (LA thrombus type Ia, Ib, and IIa) formed the study group and the remaining 2,622 patients who did not have any LA thrombus constituted the control group. All patients in the study group underwent BMV by modified over the wire technique.Results:There was significant and comparable improvement in the mitral valve area, mitral valve gradient, LA mean and pulmonary artery systolic pressure following the procedure in both groups. In the study group, there were no thromboembolic episodes during the procedure. However, there was one case of transient ischemic attack in the study group which occurred 6 hr after a successful BMV. In the study group, one patient had cardiac tamponade needing aspiration and there was no in‐hospital death.Conclusions:In selected patients of mitral stenosis with LA thrombus (type Ia, Ib, and IIa), BMV can be performed safely with the modified over the wire technique. Systemic thromboembolism, technical failures and other complications are very rare when performed by experienced operators.  © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Limitations of angiography for the assessment of renal artery stenosis and treatment implications
Authors: Cam Akin , Chhatriwalla Adnan K. , Kapadia Samir R. 
Published: June 2009

AbstractRenovascular hypertension due to atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. Percutaneous catheter‐based renal artery revascularization has been increasingly utilized for the treatment of renal artery stenosis. Renal artery stenting has a high technical success rate, but the rate of improvement in hypertension is somewhat less than expected with this technique. Misinterpretation of angiographic images may play a role in these unfavorable clinical results. We present a case in which the diagnosis of severe renal artery stenosis was not apparent by angiography. Intravascular ultrasound and translesional pressure gradient measurements during arteriography can help to determine the precise severity of stenosis and may augment the clinical results of percutaneous renal artery stent placement. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Failed pericardiocentesis for acute cardiac tamponade: Two cases associated with bivalirudin administration during PCI
Authors: Al Shammeri Owayed M. , Crowell Richard , Stewart Keir , Fort Stephen 
Published: June 2009

AbstractSuccessful management of acute cardiac tamponade secondary to coronary artery perforation during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) includes sealing off the site of perforation and pericardiocentesis. We report two cases of acute cardiac tamponade during PCI associated with the administration of bivalirudin, in which attempts at percutaneous pericardiocentesis failed, due to the present of thrombus, rather blood, in the pericardium. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
