INTRODUCTION@#Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is commonly used to treat patients with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI). This study aimed to examine the mortality and functional outcomes of patients with CLTI who predominantly had diabetes mellitus in a multi-ethnic Asian population in Singapore.@*METHODS@#Patients with CLTI who underwent PTA between January 2015 and March 2017 at the Vascular Unit at Singapore General Hospital, Singapore, were studied. Primary outcome measures were 30-day unplanned readmission, two-year major lower extremity amputation (LEA), mortality rates, and ambulation status at one, six and 12 months.@*RESULTS@#A total of 221 procedures were performed on 207 patients, of whom 184 (88.9%) were diabetics. The one-, six- and 12-month mortality rate was 7.7%, 16.4% and 21.7%, respectively. The two-year LEA rate was 30.0%. At six and 12 months, only 96 (46.4%) and 93 (44.9%) patients were ambulant, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that preoperative ambulatory status, haemoglobin, Wound Ischaemia and foot Infection (WIfI) score, and end-stage renal failure (ESRF) were independent predictors of one-year ambulatory status. Predictors of mortality at one, six and 12 months were ESRF, preoperative albumin level, impaired functional status and employment status.@*CONCLUSION@#PTA for CLTI was associated with low one-year mortality and two-year LEA rates but did not significantly improve ambulation status. ESRF and hypoalbuminaemia were independent predictors of mortality. ESRF/CKD and WIfI score were independent predictors of loss of ambulation at six months and one year. We need better risk stratification for patients with CLTI to decide between initial revascularisation and an immediate LEA policy.

Resumo Pacientes portadores de doença arterial obstrutiva periférica com isquemia crítica do membro associada a infecção de prótese vascular apresentam elevadas taxas morbimortalidade e alto risco de perda do membro. Apresentamos o caso de um paciente masculino de 76 anos com isquemia crítica do membro inferior esquerdo associada a infecção de prótese vascular femoropoplítea. Utilizamos abordagem híbrida para o tratamento com acesso cirúrgico das regiões inguinais e poplíteas, sendo a prótese vascular utilizada como acesso endovascular para recanalização direta da artéria femoral superficial devido a obstrução longa e extensa calcificação, que impediram as tentativas iniciais de tratamento endovascular. Após a recanalização endovascular, a prótese infectada foi retirada. O avanço das técnicas e materiais endovasculares em associação com a cirurgia aberta permitem novas soluções para pacientes quando os procedimentos habituais falham.
Abstract Patients with severe arterial obstructive disease and critical limb ischemia associated with vascular graft infection have elevated morbidity and mortality rates and are at high risk of limb loss. We present the case of a 76-year-old male patient with left lower limb critical ischemia and a femoropopliteal vascular graft infection. We used a hybrid treatment approach with an open surgical approach to the inguinal and popliteal regions and used the vascular prosthesis as endovascular access for direct recanalization of the superficial femoral artery, because the long occlusion and extensive calcification had frustrated initial attempts at endovascular treatment. After endovascular recanalization, the infected graft was removed. Used in conjunction with open surgery, advances in endovascular techniques and materials offer new solutions for patients when usual procedures fail.

Resumo A Society for Vascular Surgery propôs nova classificação para o membro inferior ameaçado, baseada nos três principais fatores influenciadores do risco de amputação do membro: ferida (Wound, W), isquemia (Ischemia, I) e infecção do pé (foot Infection, fI): a classificação WIfI. Esta abrange também os diabéticos, anteriormente excluídos do conceito de isquemia crítica do membro devido a seu quadro clínico complexo. O objetivo da classificação era fornecer estratificação de risco precisa e precoce ao paciente com membro inferior ameaçado; auxiliar no manejo clínico, permitindo comparar terapias alternativas; e predizer o risco de amputação em 1 ano e a necessidade de revascularização. O objetivo deste estudo é reunir os principais pontos abordados sobre a classificação WIfI no meio científico. A maior parte dos estudos de validação da classificação demonstram sua associação à predição de salvamento do membro, eventos de reintervenção, amputação e estenose, taxas de amputação maior e menor, sobrevida livre de amputação, e cicatrização de feridas.
Abstract The Society for Vascular Surgery has proposed a new classification system for the threatened lower limb, based on the three main factors that have an impact on limb amputation risk: Wound (W), Ischemia (I) and foot Infection ("fI") - the WIfI classification. The system also covers diabetic patients, previously excluded from the concept of critical limb ischemia because of their complex clinical condition. The classification's purpose is to provide accurate and early risk stratification for patients with threatened lower limbs; assisting with clinical management, enabling comparison of alternative therapies; and predicting risk of amputation at 1 year and the need for limb revascularization. The objective of this study is to collect together the main points about the WIfI classification that have been discussed in the scientific literature. Most of the studies conducted for validation of this classification system prove its association with factors related to limb salvage, such as amputation rates, amputation-free survival, prediction of reintervention, amputation, and stenosis (RAS) events, and wound healing.

Las úlceras del pie diabético son el principal factor de riesgo para las amputaciones no traumáticas en personas con diabetes. El éxito de la intervención requiere un completo entendimiento de la patogénesis y una implementación oportuna y estandarizada de un tratamiento efectivo. Es necesario un enfoque multidisciplinario para inicialmente controlar y tratar múltiples factores causantes de la ulceración severa del pie diabético. El desbridamiento, control de la infección y revascularización son pasos clave para la estabilización de la herida y su preparación para una reconstrucción exitosa. La microcirugía y supermicrocirugía permite proporcionar un tejido bien vascularizado para controlar la infección, un contorno adecuado para el calzado, durabilidad y anclaje sólido para resistir las fuerzas de cizallamiento durante la marcha. De esta manera, se puede lograr el salvataje de la extremidad, mejorando la calidad de vida y aumentando la sobrevida.
Diabetic foot ulcers are the main risk factor for non-traumatic amputations in people with diabetes. A succesful intervention requires a thorough understanding of the pathogenesis and a timely and standardized implementation of an effective treatment. A multidisciplinary approach is needed to initially control and treat multiple factors that cause severe diabetic foot ulceration. Debridement, infection control, and revascularization are key steps in wound stabilization and preparation for successful reconstruction. Microsurgery and supermicrosurgery provide a well-vascularized tissue to control infection, an adequate shoe contour, durability and solid anchorage to resist shearing forces during gait. In this way, the salvage of the limb can be achieved, improving the quality of life and increasing the survival rate.

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar una serie de pacientes con osteosarcoma parostal de bajo grado y los resultados de su tratamiento quirúrgico y reconstrucción con un trasplante óseo. Se realizó una búsqueda retrospectiva en nuestra base de datos oncológica entre 1980 y 2010 de todos los pacientes con diagnóstico de osteosarcoma parostal. Se incluyeron para el análisis únicamente los osteosarcomas parostales de bajo grado, tratados quirúrgicamente con cirugía de conservación de miembro y reconstruidos con trasplante óseo cadavérico fresco congelado. Se incluyeron 22 pacientes en el estudio. La edad media de la serie fue de 32 ± 11 años (10-59) y el seguimiento medio de 93 ± 69 meses (8-237). La supervivencia global de los pacientes analizados fue de 91% (IC95%: 79-100) a 10 años. Cuatro pacientes (18%) presentaron una recidiva local de la enfermedad, dos de éstas fueron clasificadas histológicamente como osteosarcoma parostal desdiferenciado. Dos pacientes desarrollaron enfermedad a distancia, siendo el pulmón el único sitio de localización. La tasa de supervivencia de las reconstrucciones de la cirugía de conservación de miembro a 10 años fue de 65% (IC95%: 44-86). La supervivencia a largo plazo de los pacientes con osteosarcoma parostal de bajo grado es superior al 90%. La resección quirúrgica con márgenes amplios debe ser el tratamiento de elección y la reconstrucción biológica es una alternativa válida.
The objective of the study was to analyze a group of patients with low grade parosteal osteosarcoma treated with limb salvage surgery and reconstructed with bone allograft. A retrospective review from our oncologic data base between 1980 and 2010 was done and all patients with diagnosis of low grade parosteal osteosarcoma, treated with limb salvage surgery and reconstructed with allograft were included. Twenty-two patients were included for the analysis. The mean age was 32 ± 11 years (10-59) y the mean follow-up 93 ± 69 months (8-237). Ten year overall survival of the series was 91% (95%CI: 79-100). Four patients developed local recurrence, 2 of them histological classified after the resection dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma. Two patients developed distant recurrence, being the lung the only site of metastasis. Ten year limb salvage reconstruction survival was 65% (95%CI: 44-86). Long term survival rate in low grade parosteal osteosarcoma is over 90%. Surgical resection wide margin should be the elective treatment and biological limb salvage reconstruction is a good alternative.

Peripheral arterial occlusive disease caused by atherosclerosis can present with intermittent claudication or critical limb ischemia. Proper diagnosis and management is warranted to improve symptoms and salvage limbs. With the introduction of new techniques and dedicated materials, endovascular recanalization is widely performed for the treatment of peripheral arterial occlusive disease because it is less invasive than surgery. However, there are various opinions regarding the appropriate indications and procedure methods for interventional recanalization according to operator and institution in Korea. Therefore, we intend to provide evidence based guidelines for interventional recanalization by multidisciplinary consensus. These guidelines are the result of a close collaboration between physicians from many different areas of expertise including interventional radiology, interventional cardiology, and vascular surgery. The goal of these guidelines is to ensure better treatment, to serve as a guide to the clinician, and consequently, to contribute to public health care.

Introduction: The aim of this meta-analysis was to further explore whether the relapse, 5-year survival and metastasis the same or not between limb-salvage and amputation in the treatment of patients with limited stage Enneking‡U pathologic fracture osteosarcoma. Materials and Methods: An electronic search of the Medline, EMBASE and CNKI was done on October 2014. The clinical studies about amputation or limb-salvage surgery in the treatment of patients with limited stage Enneking‡U pathologic fracture osteosarcoma were searched and reviewed. The effect size of relapse, 5-year survival and metastasis between the amputation and limb-salvage surgery were pooled by stata11.0 software (Stata Corporation, College Station, TX, USA, http://www.stata.com;) using random or fixed effect model. The funnel plot and Egger's line regression test were used for evaluation of publication bias. Results: A total of 89 studies were identified and seven articles with 200 cases in the limb-salvage surgery group and 84 subjects in the amputation group were finally included in the meta-analysis. The pooled data indicated that no statistical different of risk for developing relapse between limb-salvage and amputation was found relative risk (RR) =1.40, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.71-2.79, (P = 0.33). The 5-year survival rate of patients underwent limb-salvage surgery was smaller than patients received amputation RR = 1.86, 95%CI: 1.19-2.89, (P = 0.01); the metastasis rate of patients underwent limb-salvage surgery was significant decreased compared with patients received amputation RR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.34-0.94, (P = 0.03). No publication bias was existed in this meta-analysis. Conclusion: Limb-salvage surgery does not increased the risk of relapse compared with amputation in the treatment of patients with limited stage Enneking‡U pathologic fracture osteosarcoma.

A 35 years old female had giant cell tumour [GCT] of the distal femur for which wide resection and distal femoral endoprosthetic replacement was performed. Massive infection of prosthesis required removal and replacement of the prosthesis with nail antibiotic cement spacer, which also proved to be futile. Ultimately the whole of the infected thigh had to be excised. The limb could be preserved partially using straight-plasty instead of amputation. Patient is well rehabilitated and doing well at a follow-up of 3 years

Aims and Objectives: Extracorporeal irradiation (ECI) is relatively a rare method used in the management of malignant bone tumors (MBT). It consists of en-bloc removal of the tumor bearing bone segment, removal of the tumor from the bone, irradiation, and re-implantation back in the body. We report our preliminary experience of using ECI for management of MBT. Materials and Methods: From year 2009 to 2010, 14 patients with primary MBT were enrolled into this study. The eligibility criteria included histopathological proof of malignancy, no evidence of distant metastases, and suitability for limb preservation therapy. Surgery was performed about 4 weeks after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The affected bone segment was resected, irradiated extracorporeally with a dose of 50 Gy and reimplanted. Local control, complications and short-term survival were studied. Functional outcome was assessed by Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scoring system. Results: There were 10 males and four females with median age of 14 years. Histopthologically, nine patients had osteosarcoma (OS) and five had Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT). Distribution of primary site was as follows: Femur eight patients, tibia five patients and humerus one patient. At a median follow-up was 22 months, three patients (two OS, one ESFT) had local recurrence. Two patients (14%) developed wound infection in the perioperative period. The 2 year local recurrence free survival was 73% and mean MSTS score was 88. Conclusion: Results of our study suggest that ECI is technically feasible in the management of MBT and provides decent local control and short-term survival rates.

Introducción: La cirugía de salvataje de miembros en la región pelviana (hueso innominado ysacro) es un procedimiento demandante y complejo, que conlleva una alta morbilidad (20 por ciento a 80 por ciento). El abordaje triirradiado es el más frecuente y clásicamente utilizado en estas grandes y complejas cirugías. Sin embargo, se han informado numerosas complicaciones locales con su aplicación. El objetivo del siguiente trabajo fue desarrollar como alternativa al clásico abordaje triirradiado, una variante de exposición quirúrgica en U invertida de base distalamplia sobre la cresta ilíaca e informar el índice de complicaciones locales. La hipótesis propuesta es que la exposición quirúrgica descrita respeta la vascularización cutánea en esa región, permite desarrollar colgajos complacientes y disminuye el índice de complicaciones locales de la herida. Materiales y métodos: Durante los años 2004-2008 se realizaron 8 hemipelvectomías (internas y externas) por diferentes tumores musculoesqueléticos (4 condrosarcomas, 3 lesiones metastásicas (1 tiroides 2 mielomas) y 1 displasia epifisaria hemimélica. Se detalla la técnica quirúrgica empleada. Resultados: En todos los casos la anatomía patológica definitiva de la lesión confirmó la obtenida por biopsia previa y los márgenes fueron clasificados como amplios. El promedio de días de internación fue de 7,1 (4 a 10) días. No se evidenciaron dehiscencias ni infecciones superficiales sobre la herida. Se presentó como complicación una necrosis parcial que requirió limpieza quirúrgica de la zona apical del colgajo inferior Conclusiones: El abordaje en U invertida surge como una alternativa, en casos seleccionados, al abordaje triirradiado clásico para las hemipelvectomías, tanto internas como externas, ya que conlleva menor índice de complicaciones locales y permite una correcta exposición a la pelvis, con posibilidades de extenderla hacia el miembro o zona lumbar sin comprometer los márgenes de resección.

OBJETIVO: Analisar a eficiência da angioplastia primária infra-inguinal como método de salvamento de membros em pacientes portadores de lesões tróficas por isquemia crítica. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foram analisados 36 pacientes submetidos a angioplastias primárias sem stent. Todos os pacientes apresentavam isquemia crítica com lesão trófica - grau III, categoria 5 de Rutherford -, sendo 17 lesões na artéria femoral superficial, 16 na artéria poplítea e 51 em artérias da perna, totalizando 84 angioplastias. Foram analisadas também as prevalências em relação a sexo, membro afetado, idade e principais comorbidades, sendo tecidas considerações técnicas sobre os procedimentos, assim como os materiais utilizados. RESULTADOS: Considerou-se sucesso quando a lesão trófica que motivou a angioplastia cicatrizou, ou o nível de amputação limitou-se a artelhos ou ao antepé, sem ter havido necessidade de procedimento cirúrgico de reconstituição do fluxo sanguíneo (bypass), independentemente de tempo, drogas associadas e números de desbridamentos realizados. CONCLUSÃO: As angioplastias no segmento femoropoplíteo e infrapoplíteo são procedimentos de elevado sucesso técnico, baixa morbidade e mortalidade, constituindo-se procedimento eficaz em pacientes com isquemia crítica de membro inferior.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of infra-inguinal, primary angioplasty as a method of limb salvage in patients with trophic lesions secondary to critical ischemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-six patients submitted to primary percutaneous transluminal angioplasty without stenting were evaluated. All of them presented critical limb ischemia with trophic lesion (Rutherford grade III, category 5). Eighty-four angioplasties were performed for 17 lesions in superficial femoral artery, 16 lesions in popliteal artery, and 51 lesions in below-knee arteries. Additionally, prevalence in relation to sex, age, limb involved and main comorbidities have been discussed, with technical considerations regarding procedures and materials utilized. RESULTS: Clinical success has been defined as complete healing of the trophic lesion or amputation level limited to toes or forefoot, not requiring bypass surgery, independently from time, drugs utilized and number of debridement procedures performed. CONCLUSION: Femoropopliteal and belowknee angioplasties present high technical success, low mortality and low complications rates and are highly effective in the treatment of patients with critical lower limb ischemia.

Osteosarcoma in pregnant women is rare. Delay in diagnosis may be due to lack of any signs or symptoms during gestation, clinical misdiagnoses, religious attitude and refusal of the patients. Most cases soft-tissue and bone tumors during pregnancy can be managed successfully with surgery during gestation. Therapies with fetal toxicity were more likely to be deferred to postpartum period. This case is rare and liable to be missed, hence is reported.
