Impact of the Result of Continued Thrombolysis After Stenting Following Pharmacomechanical Thrombectomy for Iliofemoral Deep Vein Thrombosis-A Retrospective Study.

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the procedure and treatment outcomes of using either direct stenting alone following pharmacomechanical thrombectomy or continued catheter-directed thrombolysis after stenting for treatment of acute left iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis while clot removal degree achieved grade III.

Methods: From March 2018 to May 2019, 82 patients who underwent iliac venous stenting for treatment of acute left iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis with iliac vein stenosis after pharmacomechanical thrombectomy therapy using the AngioJet system while Clot removal degree achieved grade III were divided into two groups: Direct stenting alone group ( = 39) and continued catheter-directed thrombolysis after stenting group ( = 43). Comparisons were made regarding the treatment outcomes, stent patency rate, and Villalta scale between these two groups.

Endovascular treatment for long segment iliac artery occlusion involving the iliac artery opening.

Objective: This retrospective nonrandomized study investigated the outcomes of endovascular therapy for long-segment iliac artery occlusion involving the iliac artery opening.

Methods: During a 5-year period (from Mar 2012 to Mar 2017), 32 patients (two women and 30 men; mean age, 69.0 years; range, 51-90 years) received endovascular therapy, with or without catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT), for long-segment iliac artery occlusion (mean lesion length, 129.

Endovascular Repair of a Large Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in a Patient Presenting with Lower Extremity Edema as a Result of Inferior Vena Cava Thrombosis.

Purpose: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) can present with symptoms because of aneurysmal compression of adjacent organ systems. This condition has always been treated by open surgical repair. Here, we report a case of an AAA complicated by inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) due to IVC compression by aneurysm successfully treated by endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).

[Effects of electroacupuncture on learning-memory ability and expression of hippocampal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGF receptor 1 and 2 genes in vascular cognitive impairment rats].

Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) of "Dazhui" (GV 14), "Baihui" (GV 20), etc. on learning-memory ability and expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA, VEGF receptor 1 (VEGFR-1/Flt-1) mRNA, and VEGFR-2 (Flk-1) mRNA in the hippocampus in vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) rats so as to reveal its mechanism underlying improvement of VCI.

Methods: A total of 60 Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation, VCI model, EA and medication groups (n=12 in each group).

[Impact of hemocoagulase on coagulatory function and deep venous thrombosis after abdominal surgery].

Objective: To investigate the impact of hemocoagulase on coagulatory function and deep venous thrombosis after abdominal surgery.

Methods: From June 2008 to January 2009, 60 cases (gastric cancer 20 cases, colonic cancer 40 cases) undergoing gastrointestinal surgery at the Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University were randomized to the hemocoagulase group and the control group(n=30 in each group). Intravenous hemocoagulase at a daily dose of 2U was used on the same day and the next day postoperatively in the hemocoagulase group.
