[PMID: 36525178 DOI: 10.1007/s11547-022-01576-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcome of US-guided percutaneous thrombin injection in the treatment of non-femoral artery pseudoaneurysms (NFAP). MATERIALS AND METHODS Among all pseudoaneurysms treated in our institution, we retrospectively collected NFAP embolized with percutaneous thrombin injections from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2021. The embolization was prompted for an ongoing antiaggregating/anticoagulation therapy, NFAP optimal US visibility, or high surgery-related risks. Causes, location, size and neck of NFAP, complications, number of repeated treatments, clinical success and patients clinical conditions at discharge were annotated. The endpoint for clinical success was the resolution of NFAP at postprocedural imaging, with no resort to surgery. RESULTS Eight consecutive patients (5 females, median age 73 years, range 46-84) underwent 16 procedures. Arterial damage was due to catheterization (3), CVC mispositioning (2), trauma, hemorrhagic diathesis and endoprosthesis endoleak. We treated humeral (2), subclavian (2), thyrocervical, anterior tibial, radial and pancreaticoduodenal arteries. Median pseudoaneurysm size was 530 mm2 (range 32-2400 mm2), with a thin (7/8) or non-visible (1/8) neck. No complications occurred. Clinical success was obtained in 7/8 patients (88%), with a single treatment in 4, multiple in 3 cases (4 embolizations, 3 and 2, respectively). One patient underwent surgical suture after the second failed attempt of percutaneous embolization. Seven patients were discharged in good clinical conditions; one died during hospitalization, due to the worsening of the underlying cardiac disease. CONCLUSIONS Percutaneous US-guided thrombin injection to treat NFAP is feasible in selected cases, with rare complications. Clinical success is often reached, also by repeated injections.

Covered stent treatment for arterial complications after pancreatic surgery: risk assessment for recurrence and peri-stent implantation management. Eur Radiol 2023; 33:1779-1791. [PMID: 36149482 PMCID: PMC9510453 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-022-09134-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2022] [Revised: 07/07/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the risk factors for recurrence of arterial complications after pancreatectomy during the period of covered stent implantation and to provide some opinions on peri-stent implantation management. METHODS Data on patients implanted with covered stents due to arterial complications after pancreatectomy between January 2017 and December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Technical success, clinical success, recurrence, and survival were evaluated to elucidate the practicability of covered stents. Wilson score, Random Forest, logistic regression, and Pearson's chi-square test with bootstrap aggregation were performed for determining the perioperative risk factors for recurrence. RESULTS Among all fifty-five patients, success stent implantation (technical success) was achieved 100%. Patients who were hemodynamically stabilized without further treatment for artery complications in situ (clinical success) accounted for 89.1%. Based on statistical analysis, pre-stent implantation pancreatic fistula was identified as a robust recurrence-related risk factor for preoperative assessment (p = 0.02, OR = 4.5, 95% CI [1.2, 16.9]; pbootstrap = 0.02). Post-stent implantation pancreatic fistula (p = 0.01, OR 4.5, 95% CI [1.4, 14.6]; pbootstrap < 0.05) and SMA branches or GDA stumps (p = 0.02, OR 3.4, 95% CI [1.1, 10.3]) were relevant to recurrence. The survival rate during hospitalization was 87.3%. All survivors were free from recurrence during the subsequent follow-up. Vasospasm and stent occlusion were observed as short-term and long-term complications, respectively. CONCLUSION A covered stent implantation is a feasible and effective treatment option for post-pancreatectomy arterial complications. Rigorous management of pancreatic fistula, timely detection of problems, sensible strategies during stent implantation, and reasonable anticoagulation therapy are necessary for a better prognosis. KEY POINTS • A covered stent is feasible for various artery-related complications after pancreatectomy and has an ideal therapeutic effect. • Pancreatic fistula during the perioperative period of the covered stent is an independent risk factor for recurrent arterial complications and SMA branches or GDA stumps are prone to be recurrent offending arteries. • Rigorous management of pancreatic fistula, timely detection of problems, sensible strategies during stent implantation, and reasonable anticoagulation therapy are necessary for a better prognosis.

Incidence and Contemporary Management of Delayed Bleeding Following Pancreaticoduodenectomy. World J Surg 2022; 46:1161-1171. [PMID: 35084554 DOI: 10.1007/s00268-022-06451-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 11/20/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed bleeding after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a life-threatening complication. However, the optimal management remains unclear. We summarize our experience of the management of delayed bleeding after PD and define the outcomes associated with different types of management. METHODS All patients who underwent a PD between January 1987 and June 2020 at Johns Hopkins University were retrospectively reviewed. Delayed bleeding was defined as bleeding on or after postoperative day 5 following PD. Incidence, outcomes, and trends were reported. RESULTS Among the 6201 patients that underwent PD, delayed bleeding occurred in 130 (2.1%) at a median of 12 days (IQR: 9, 24) postoperation. The pattern of bleeding was classified as intraluminal (51.5%), extraluminal (40.8%), and mixed (7.7%). A clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula and an intraabdominal abscess preceded the delayed bleeding in 43.1% and 31.5% of cases, respectively. Arterial pseudoaneurysm or bleeding from peripancreatic vessels was the most common reason (54.6%) with the gastroduodenal artery being the most common source (18.5%). Endoscopy, angiography, and reoperation were performed as a first-line approach in 35.4%, 52.3%, and 6.2% of patients, respectively. The overall mortality was 16.2% and decreased over the study period (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Delayed bleeding following PD remains a life-threatening complication. The most common location of delayed bleeding is from the gastroduodenal artery. Angiography with embolization should be the initial approach for urgent bleeding with surgical re-exploration reserved for unstable patients or failed control of bleeding after interventional angiography or endoscopy.

Abstract
Background Angiography and subsequent endovascular therapy is an effective technique for delayed postoperative arterial hemorrhage (PAH) after hepatobiliary pancreatic surgery. In this research, we aimed to evaluate endovascular therapy choices for different sites of delayed PAH after hepatobiliary pancreatic surgery. Methods A total of 85 patients with delayed PAH who underwent endovascular therapy at the Department of Radioactive Intervention of Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital were retrospectively enrolled. According to the hemorrhage site, participants were divided into 3 groups, all of whom then received embolization, covered stent placement, or a combination of both. Ongoing or recurrent hemorrhages, intervention times, complications associated with intervention, and mortality rate were documented. The chi-squared (χ2) test was used for statistical analysis. Results A total of 22 participants with arterial branch hemorrhage underwent superselective embolization. Overall, 81.8% (18/22) of patients underwent embolization once. The successful hemostasis rate was 77.3% (17/22), and the mortality rate was 13.6% (3/22). A total of 53 participants with arterial trunk hemorrhage underwent embolization or covered stent placement. The rate of multi-time intervention, failure to achieve hemostasis, complications associated with intervention, and mortality was lower in the stent group than in the embolization group, and there was a significant difference in complications between the 2 groups (χ2=4.93, P=0.026). Among a total of 10 patients with multisite hemorrhage who underwent embolization, covered stent placement, or a combination, the successful hemostasis rate was 20%; and the mortality rate was 70%. Conclusions Superselective embolization is a safe treatment method for arterial branch hemorrhage, and covered stent placement may be a better choice for arterial trunk hemorrhage. Verification of these findings is required via additional large population studies.
