RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Alternative autologous veins can be used as a conduit when adequate great saphenous vein is unavailable. We analyzed the results of our infrainguinal bypasses after adopting upper extremity veins in our practice. METHODS: This is a single-center observational study involving all patients whose infrainguinal bypass involved the use of upper extremity veins between April 2019, when we began using arm veins, and February 2023. RESULTS: During the study period, 49 bypasses were done in 48 patients; mean age 68.1 ± 9.8; men 32 (66.7%); body mass index 28.0 ± 4.8; indications for surgery: chronic limb threatening ischemia 41 (83.7%); acute limb ischemia 3 (6.1%); complications of previous prosthetic 3 (6.1%), or autologous 2 (4.1%) bypass grafts. Vein splicing was used in 43 (87.8%) bypasses with 3-segment grafts being the most common (26; 53.1%). There were 24 (49.0%) femorotibial, 11 (22.4%) femoropopliteal, 9 (18.4%) femoropedal, and 5 (10.2%) extension jump bypass procedures. Eighteen (36.7%) operations were redo surgeries. Twenty-one (42.9%) bypasses were formed using only arm veins. The median follow-up was 12.9 months (4.5-24.2). Two bypasses occluded during the first 30 postoperative days (2/49; 4.1%). Overall 30-day, 1-year, and 2-year primary patency rates were 93.7% ± 3.5%, 84.8% ± 5.9%, and 80.6% ± 6.9%, and secondary patency (SP) rates were 95.8% ± 2.9%, 89.2% ± 5.3%, and 89.2% ± 5.3%. One-segment grafts had better patencies than 2-, 3-, and 4-segment grafts (1-year SP 100% ± 0% vs 87.6% ± 6.0%). Two-year amputation-free survival was 86.8% ± 6.5%; 2-year overall survival was 88.2% ± 6.6%. CONCLUSIONS: Integration of arm vein grafts in infrainguinal bypass practice can be done safely with low incidences of perioperative graft failure. One-segment grafts had better patencies than spliced vein grafts. The achieved early patency and amputation-free survival rates strongly encourage their use. In the absence of a single-segment great saphenous vein, upper extremity vein grafts should be the preferred conduit choice.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to describe perioperative kinetics of procalcitonin (PCT) in patients undergoing aortic surgery, to compare the kinetics in the open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair and aortobifemoral bypass for aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD), and to evaluate the ability of PCT to detect intestinal ischaemia. METHODS: A prospective non-randomized observational cohort study in 80 patients (62 men and 18 women) undergoing elective aortic surgery was performed. Serum PCT was measured at baseline and defined intraoperative and postoperative timepoints up to postoperative day 7. MRI contrast-enhanced imaging was used to detect intestinal ischaemia. RESULTS: The comparison of the AAA and AIOD cohort did not show any significant difference in PCT levels. Patients with intestinal ischaemia had higher serum PCT at multiple timepoints postoperatively. The most accurate timepoints for early diagnosis were postoperative day 3, followed by 24 h after declamping of the vascular reconstruction, and postoperative day 7. The sensitivity and negative predictive values were 100% in all mentioned timepoints. However, event at the best timepoint the specificity was 89% and the positive predictive value 43%. CONCLUSIONS: Procalcitonin levels in the postoperative period at proper timepoints might help to detect postoperative intestinal ischaemia. The limitation of this marker is its low specificity for intestinal ischaemia and low positive predictive value. The highest value of this marker is that it can rule out this complication because normal PCT levels mean that intestinal ischaemia is very unlikely.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Postoperative intestinal ischemia is a severe complication in abdominal aortic surgery. Early diagnosis is needed for adequate and timely treatment. We studied the postoperative kinetics of l-lactate in vascular patients to assess its value as a marker for early postoperative intestinal ischemia detection. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We performed a prospective non-randomized single-center observational cohort study in eighty elective patients, fifty operated on for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and thirty for aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD). Serum l-lactate was measured preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively at defined timepoints up to postoperative day 7. Intestinal ischemia was detected using MRI enterocolography. We have used univariate logistic regression and receiver operating characteristics curves for the evaluation of marker accuracy. RESULTS: We recorded 6 cases of postoperative intestinal ischemia (7.5%), five non-transmural and one transmural. Two patients died because of this complication (mortality 33%). The comparison of AAA and AIOD cohorts showed a significant difference in l-lactate levels at one intraoperative timepoint, which was attributable to procedure differences. The only preoperative factor associated with higher l-lactate levels at some timepoints was chronic kidney disease. Patients suffering postoperative intestinal ischemia had elevated serum l-lactate levels at multiple timepoints. The most accurate timepoint for diagnosis was 24 h after the declamping of the vascular reconstruction (DC24H), the second was 10 min after declamping. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values at timepoint DC24H were 100%, 82%, 32%, and 100%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Serum l-lactate levels might help in the early detection of postoperative intestinal ischemia after aortic surgery if proper timepoints are used. Cutoff values need to be established in large-scale prospective studies.
