PURPOSE: To evaluate the use of stent-grafts for the percutaneous closure of arteriovenous fistulas that develop after cardiac catheterization. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January 1994 to November 1997, 14 arteriovenous fistulas in 13 patients (eight men, five women; age range, 46-65 years; mean age, 53.5 years) were treated. Eleven fistulas were situated between the deep femoral artery and the common femoral vein, and three fistulas were between the superficial femoral artery and the common femoral vein. All fistulas were closed with stent-grafts positioned in the artery at the level of the fistula. RESULTS: The percutaneous treatment of arteriovenous fistulas was successful in all cases. The findings at angiography performed after the procedure demonstrated the closure of the fistulas and the correct positioning of the prostheses; veins were no longer visible. One complication occurred--a partial thrombosis of the common femoral vein at the puncture site after manual compression. CONCLUSION: On the basis of the preliminary data, the authors believe that the percutaneous closure of arteriovenous fistulas with stent-grafts is a safe and effective alternative to conventional surgery.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Optimal treatment strategies for patients with external pancreatic fistulas have evolved with improved radiographic imaging and the development of transpapillary pancreatic duct stents. The aim of this study was to examine factors affecting fistula closure and develop a classification scheme to guide therapeutic interventions. METHODS: Retrospective chart review was made of all patients with external pancreatic fistulas treated at our institution from January 1991 to January 1997. Side (partial) fistulas maintained continuity with the gastrointestinal tract; end (complete) fistulas had no continuity with the gastrointestinal tract. RESULTS: Postoperative side fistulas resolved with medical treatment in 13 (86%) of 15 patients after a mean of 11 weeks of conservative management. Inflammatory side fistulas resolved with medical treatment in only 8 (53%) of 15 patients after a mean of 22 weeks; those that did not close initially did so with transpapillary stenting. End pancreatic fistulas never closed with medical treatment and were unable to be stented; therefore internal drainage or pancreatic resection was necessary to achieve closure. There were no differences in sepsis rates, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II scores, fistula site, total parenteral nutrition, somatostatin treatment, or initial fistula output between groups. CONCLUSIONS: Classifying external pancreatic fistulas as to their pancreatic duct relationship and cause provides important prognostic and therapeutic information.  相似文献

Eighteen patients with postoperative fistulas of the gastrointestinal tract were treated with the somatostatin analog octreotide between November 1989 and November 1992. Fourteen patients had enterocutaneous fistulas: seven from the duodenum and seven from the ileum. Another three patients had pancreatic fistulas, and one patient had a biliary fistula. Within 24 hours of octreotide treatment, a mean reduction of 52% in the intestinal fistulas' output, 40% in the pancreatic fistulas, and 30% in the biliary fistula was noted. In the intestinal fistulas group the closure rate was 72% after a mean of 11 days. Early closure (mean 6 days) was achieved in all three pancreatic fistulas. In the patient with the biliary fistula a 30% reduction was observed twice following the administration of octreotide, and an increase occurred when it was withheld. The reduction rate of the secretions in high-output intestinal fistulas (> 500 ml/day) was higher than in the low-output fistulas (63 +/- 8% versus 39 +/- 4%, p < 0.05). Fistula output and the initial response to octreotide treatment had no value in predicting spontaneous healing. In conclusion, octreotide is a valuable tool for the conservative treatment of fistulas of the digestive tract. It is especially valuable for management of high-output enteric fistulas and pancreatic fistulas.  相似文献

Benign acquired tracheoesophageal fistula is uncommon. Erosin of the membranous wall of the trachea and the anterior esophageal wall by the high-pressure cuff on a tracheostomy tube, often against the anvil of a nasogastric tube, may produce such fistulas. Techniques for closure have included patching the tracheal defect with muscle and, often, multiple staged procedures, planned or unplanned. Since any cuff lesion severe enough to cause a fistula necessarily damages the trachea circumferentially at the same level, definitive correction must include circumferential tracheal resection as well as closure of the fitstula. Five patients with tracheoesophageal fistula due to cuff perforation had repair by such a single-stage procedure. Through an anterior approach the involved trachea was resected, primary anastomosis was done, and the esophagus was closed in layers. In 3 of these 5 patients muscle was interposed for added security. One patient had undergone a prior attempt at repair elsewhere. One required a second resection of trachea for subsequent stomal stenosis. Repair in 2 additional patients with fistulas of complex origin related to direct trauma, sepsis, and foreign body involved adaptation of the basic technique to the special problem; 1 of these procedures was necessarily staged. Results in all 7 patients have been good.  相似文献

Vesicovaginal fistulas develop as an early complication following gynaecological operations or as a late complication following irradiation. The waiting period for the surgical closure of the fistula implies social and psychic problems for patients and attending physicians. Three cases report on the exclusive fibrin sealing for closing vesicovaginal fistulas after which continence was re-established.  相似文献

PURPOSE: A retrospective chart review of 20 consecutive patients with 23 anal fistulas treated with cutaneous advancement flap closure was undertaken to ascertain the efficacy of this previously unreported technique. METHODS: The so-called "diamond" and "house" flaps are commonly used to treat anal stenosis, and mucosal advancement flaps are successfully used to close fistulas. The authors began, in 1994, to close selected fistulas with skin advancement flaps after suture closure of the internal opening and adequate drainage of the external opening. Fourteen patients (4 females; average age, 42 years; a total of 14 fistulas) without inflammatory bowel disease and 6 patients (3 females; average age, 35 years) with inflammatory bowel disease (5 with Crohn's disease; 1 with chronic ulcerative colitis; a total of 8 fistulas) were treated. Indications were low internal opening with transsphincteric fistula in both groups. Mucosal advancement was relatively contraindicated, either because of fear of ectropion or, in the inflammatory bowel disease patients, diseased mucosa. No one in the noninflammatory bowel disease group was diverted or kept without anything by mouth, and all were treated as outpatients or with overnight observation. The inflammatory bowel disease group was either diverted (1 patient) or kept on home total parenteral nutrition (5 patients) for three to six weeks. Cyclosporine, antibiotics, 5-acetylsalicylic acid, and other medications were used judiciously in the inflammatory bowel disease group. RESULTS: In the noninflammatory bowel disease group, complete healing of all wounds occurred in 11 patients in an average of 6.5 weeks (average follow-up, 18 months). Complications included donor site separation in two patients and minor incontinence of flatus in one patient. In the inflammatory bowel disease group, five fistulas healed, two failed, and one patient developed a new fistula during an average follow-up of 16 months. Deep venous thrombosis and catheter sepsis occurred in one patient in this group. There were no fatalities in either group. CONCLUSIONS: Although the numbers, especially in the inflammatory bowel disease group, are very small, the results are encouraging. This technique appears to have a place in the armamentarium of the surgeon repairing anal fistulas.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to bring to the attention of gynecologists a subject not mentioned in a single textbook of gynecology, namely, genital fistulas resulting from diverticular disease of the sigmoid colon. STUDY DESIGN: We report our experience with 13 genital fistulas caused by sigmoid diverticulitis. RESULTS: Ten fistulas involved the vagina, one the vagina and bladder, one the tube, and one the uterus. Average age of the patients was 68.6 years (range 54 to 89 years). Presenting symptom in 12 patients was a malodorous vaginal discharge. All with vaginal lesions had previously undergone total hysterectomy. A barium enema failed to demonstrate a fistula in 8 of 11 patients. Colonoscopy failed in 8 of 8 patients. All fistulas were demonstrated by retrograde dye studies. Ten patients operated on were cured. Three patients refused surgery; of these, 1 had intestinal obstruction, 1 may have had spontaneous closure of the fistula, and 1 is being observed. Surgery involved staged procedures in 2 patients, fistulectomy in 4, and bowel resection and anastomosis in 4. CONCLUSIONS: Sigmoidovaginal fistulas are the most prevalent variety of cologenital fistula caused by sigmoid diverticulitis. The diagnosis should be considered in a patient > 50 years old who complains of a foul vaginal discharge and has a history of total hysterectomy. Its presence is best demonstrated by vaginogram. Surgical therapy is advised, the extent of which will rest on the surgeon's judgment of the severity of the inflammatory process found at exploration.  相似文献

PURPOSE: To prevent the development of urethrocutaneous fistula after urethroplasty for hypospadias or recurrence after closure of a urethrocutaneous fistula, the authors developed a new simple technique wherein the readily available external spermatic fascia (ESF) surrounding the testis and cord is used as a pedicled blanket flap to cover the neourethra or the site of closure of a urethrocutaneous fistula. RESULTS: In three patients who had urethroplasty for hypospadias incorporating our ESF flap procedure, no urethrocutaneous fistula developed. It was also effective for closure of urethrocutaneous fistula in five patients, some of whom had had recurrent fistula formation.  相似文献

PURPOSE: Vascularized flaps for repeat hypospadias repair are often limited. We report our experience with the dartos flap in children undergoing secondary hypospadias and complex urethral repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The dartos flap is fibroadipose tissue between the scrotal skin and tunica vaginalis layers with its vascular pedicle based at the penoscrotal angle. The flap reaches the distal penile shaft without tension. Eight patients 1 to 17 years old (mean age 6) underwent urethral surgery and an interposed dartos flap procedure in 1994 to 1995. RESULTS: Of 6 patients cosmesis was excellent in 84%, erections were straight in 100%, and urinary streams were of good quality and without fistula in 100% after repeat hypospadias surgery. Following staged repair for anterior urethral valves a urethrocutaneous fistula developed in 1 patient and following urethral duplication repair results were excellent in 1. Mean followup was 1 year. CONCLUSIONS: The dartos flap is easy to mobilize and it provides excellent coverage for repeat proximal hypospadias surgery, since the dartos remains undisturbed. We endorse its use for complex urethral surgery and believe that the extra layer of closure helps to prevent urethrocutaneous fistulas.  相似文献

A method of pharyngeal reconstruction following laryngectomy is described. In 44 successive laryngectomies using this technique, no postoperative pharyngocutaneous fistulas occurred. Ten of the patients had received full courses of radiation therapy prior to the surgical procedure and had recurrent carcinomas. Other reports have noted that laryngectomy following full courses of "unplanned preoperative" radiation therapy is usually associated with a high incidence of postoperative pharyngeal fistula. The pharyngeal fistula problem, and the pharyngeal repair that was used in our series, are discussed. The pharynx was closed carefully in three layers with fine, absorbable sutures, and a submucosal inverting technique was used for the important mucous membrane closure. Tube feedings were used for two weeks after surgery. A high incidence of pharyngocutaneous fistula after laryngectomy in the irradiated patient can be prevented.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Treatment of enterocutaneous fistula in patients with intra-abdominal sepsis and a surgically inaccessible abdomen is frequently unsuccessful. METHODS: A new approach has been devised: total disconnection of the proximal digestive tract, which can be performed through the bursa omentalis without entering the scarred abdomen. RESULTS: The procedure was carried out in four patients with high-output small bowel fistula and an inaccessible abdomen. Output of fistulas stopped promptly, recovery from intra-abdominal sepsis was achieved, the abdomens became accessible again and continuity of the digestive tract could be restored in all patients after intervals of 2-5.5 months. CONCLUSION: Transbursal end-to-side duodenogastrostomy is a useful procedure when traditional surgical interventions have failed or cannot be applied.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: A rare but serious complication of angioaccess surgery for hemodialysis is the so called steal syndrome presenting as ischemia distal to an arteriovenous fistula. The main problem of various surgical techniques to correct steal is subsequent thrombosis of the fistula or persistence of distal ischemia. INTERVENTIONS: This paper describes an unknown technique for correction of ischemic steal consisting of ligation of the artery just distal to the take-off of the fistula and arterial bypass from the artery proximal to the take-off of the fistula to the artery distal to ligation. PATIENTS: Six patients with chronic renal insufficiency (3 male, 3 female) with patent upper arm cephalic fistulas presented with severe hand ischemia. RESULTS: Symptoms improved in all 6 patients immediately after operation. Successful hemodialysis could be maintained using the original fistula. CONCLUSIONS: The described technique is maybe the procedure of choice for the correction of fistula induced ischemic steal.  相似文献

We experienced 4 cases of left coronary artery-pulmonary artery fistula. Two cases had small fistulas associated with atherosclerotic coronary lesions, and the other 2 had large fistulas with aneurysmal enlargement. In the former 2 cases, ligation of the fistulas and closure of the opening of fistula into the pulmonary artery through pulmonary arteriotomy were performed together with coronary artery bypass grafting and left ventricular aneurysmectomy. In one of the latter 2 cases, the fistula arising from the anterior descending branch was ligated and the opening of fistula draining into the pulmonary artery was closed through pulmonary arteriotomy. In another case, both openings of the fistula into the anterior descending branch and the pulmonary artery were closed from inside through incision of the dilated fistula. In all 4 cases, operations were performed using cardiopulmonary bypass and retrograde coronary perfusion, which could afford good heart protection even in cases with coronary lesions and coronary steal phenomenon. All cases went an uneventful postoperative course. Postoperative angiograms showed disappearance of the fistulas in 3 cases. In one case, however, residual fistula was found because a fine fistula might be overlooked. In such a case with complicated fistulas with aneurysmal enlargement, fistulas should be examined carefully through incision of the enlarged anomalous vessels. In this paper, diagnosis, operative indication and treatment for coronary artery-pulmonary artery fistula were discussed.  相似文献

Enterocutaneous fistula is a dread complication of gastrointestinal disease and gastrointestinal operation. These patients typically have undergone numerous abdominal operations, often with peritoneal contamination, carcinoma, and/or a history of radiation, making operation for repair daunting, if not impossible. We describe a method for closure of enterocutaneous fistula, which we have used successfully in four such patients. After failure of nonsurgical management, each patient's fistula was closed with a combination of skin, muscle, and fascial flaps after intubation of the fistula with a Malecot catheter. No intra-abdominal dissection was necessary. All fistulas healed completely. We recommend this closure in any patient who has failed surgical or nonsurgical therapy or in whom celiotomy is contraindicated or is to be avoided.  相似文献

Round window perilymphatic fistulas were surgically created in 20 guinea pigs. Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) at 2fl - f2 were recorded prior to and immediately following laceration of the round window. The stimuli were equal level sinusoids (f1 < f2) with f2 ranging from 2 to 10 kHz, a fixed f2:f1 ratio of 1.25, and stimulus levels (L2 = L1) ranging from 20 to 80 dB SPL. After an 18-day survival period, emission measurements were repeated, and fluorescein was infused into the cerebrospinal fluid to verify patency or closure of the fistula. Nine animals demonstrated patent fistulas, whereas 11 had closed fistulas. There was a statistically significant reduction in DPOAE amplitude after an acute fistula across all stimulus levels (p < .001). At 18 days the DPOAE amplitudes in animals with healed fistulas could not be differentiated from controls, whereas DPOAE amplitudes in animals with patent fistulas were statistically different from controls (p < .05). The results suggest that evoked otoacoustic emissions may be useful in detecting perilymphatic fistulas.  相似文献

PURPOSE: The aim of this article is to determine the outcome of the pelvic pouch after the occurrence of a fistula. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 1983 to 1995, 1,040 pelvic pouch surgeries were done at our institution. We reviewed the records of all patients with pouch-related fistulas. Data were collected from chart reviews and our pouch registry. RESULTS: Among 59 patients (22 males) with fistulas, mean age was 33 (range, 19-57) years. Preoperative diagnosis was mucosal ulcerative colitis (n = 52), indeterminate colitis (n = 6), and familial polyposis (n = 1). Site of fistulas included pouch/vaginal (n = 24), pouch/ cutaneous (n = 11), pouch/perineal (n = 16), and pouch/ presacral (n = 8). Postoperative diagnosis was mucosal ulcerative colitis (n = 40), Crohn's disease (n = 14), indeterminate colitis (n = 4), and familial polyposis (n = 1). One hundred eleven (range, 1-7) surgeries for treatment were performed. At a mean follow-up of 26 (range, 1-121) months, 19 pouches (32 percent) had been excised, 34 patients had functioning pouches and no fistula, 5 patients had a closed fistula but refused ileostomy closure, and 1-patient had died of unrelated causes (but the fistula was closed). Pouch type and preoperative diagnosis did not statistically affect pouch failure rates (P = 0.43 and 0.10. respectively). CONCLUSION: Successful treatment of fistula from a pelvic pouch can be achieved in more than 60 percent of patients. However, multiple procedures may be needed for a successful outcome. Ultimately, 32 percent had their pouches excised.  相似文献

PURPOSE: The authors report on 105 consecutive patients who underwent one-stage hypospadias repair based on use of suprapubic diversion or transurethral drainage with stenting. METHODS: The surgical procedures included 52 metal-based flap urethroplasty (Mathieu) for coronal, subcoronal, and distal shaft hypospadias; 32 transverse island pedicle graft (Duckett) for mid and proximal shaft hypospadias; 21 transverse island pedicle (Duckett) plus rolled midline tube (Thierchs) for penoscrotal and scrotal hypospadias. To accomplish urinary drainage, suprapubic diversion (cystofix) was used in 28 of 52 Mathieu operations, in 17 of 32 Duckett operations, and in 11 of 21 transverse island pedicle graft plus rolled midline tube operations. In the rest of the cases, transurethral drainage with stenting was used. RESULTS: All children had excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes. But the rates of complications such as fistula and meatal stenosis were significantly different between the groups in which suprapubic tube or urethral stent was used. In 56 of the 105 patients in whom suprapubic diversion was used, four (7.14%) had fistulas and three (5.35%) had meatal stenosis, in contrast to a fistula rate of 14.28% and meatal stenosis rate of 12.24% in patients that urethral stent is used for urinary drainage. CONCLUSION: The authors believe that the use of suprapubic diversion is advantageous for the outcome of one-stage hypospadias repair in relation to fistula occurrence and meatal stenosis.  相似文献

Oesophago-respiratory fistula in most instances in a complication of advanced malignant tumours of the oesophagus or the lung. In our patient group eleven oesophago-respiratory and one gastro-respiratory fistulas were encountered. Three patients were operated upon. In one of them with achalasia, early oesophageal carcinoma was discovered in the background of the fistula. Two patients had fistulas without of oesophageal narrowing, therefore, stent implantation into the trachea and bronchus was performed. One of them was previously managed endoscopically with lyodura plug and fibrin glue, but only temporary occlusion of the fistula was obtained. In five patients, seven conventional oesophageal prosthesis (6 Cook, 1 Rüsch) were used to close the fistulas. In one of these patients, three oesophago-respiratory fistulas developed one after the other at the level of the prosthesis funnel. They were closed with three prostheses connected with short silicone tubes. In the last two patients, Gianturco-Z stent was employed. Its advantages over the plastic prostheses include small basic and lager final luminal diameter, lesser predilatation, easier implantation, lower complication and mortality rate. The silicone coated and double funnel stent with expansile force is effective in fistulas closure. On implantation, stent shortening in minimal, allowing precise placement of the stent even in proximal malignant oesophageal stenosis with oesophago-bronchial fistula. The high price of the stent is compensated for by the lower complication rate, shorter hospitalization and subsequent reduction is hospital expenses. Therefore these metal stents should be financed by the National Health Service, at least in specialized centers for managing patients with dysphagia.  相似文献

A chronic bronchopleural fistula and a fibrotic postthoracotomy space in a patient with poor functional respiratory reserve is a difficult problem. The classic management of bronchopleural cutaneous fistulas has been with further pulmonary resection to healthy bronchus, repair of the bronchus directly, and a thoracoplasty or myoplasty technique to obliterate the cavity. In a high risk patient, further pulmonary resection and thoracoplasty may be contraindicated. Myoplasty techniques alone without control of the fistula have limited success. In the last 4 years, we have treated six patients with right-sided thoracostomas after a primary open drainage procedure for bronchopleural fistula and empyema. The air leak was controlled with inversion of the sinus tract, fibrin glue, and muscle flap cavity obliteration. An average of two muscle flaps per patient were used, including the contralateral latissimus dorsi muscle. An 83 percent success rate has been achieved with this procedure in patients who otherwise would not be considered surgical candidates. Attention to the details described, including direct suture closure of the bronchial sinus, obliteration of the cavity by local muscle flaps, and avoidance of mechanical positive pressure ventilation, will make extended thoracotomy, pulmonary resection, and thoracoplasty unnecessary in these high risk patients.  相似文献

The most frequent and most dangerous complication of the duodenopancreatectomy is pancreatic fistula due to dehiscence of the pancreatic anastomosis. A technique that uses a separate Roux en Y loop for pancreatic anastomosis, to reduce the fatal risks of the pancreatic fistula, has been initially reported more than 50 years ago. With the development of the pancreaticogastrostomy, it seems interesting to present a procedure using an isolated loop for the pancreas; this technique is derived from those previously published, allowing a good intussuception of the pancreas in the intestinal loop. This method has been performed in 35 duodenopancreatectomy (malignant pancreatic disease: 32 patients, benign pancreatic disease: 3 patients). The mean age of the patients was 64 years (range 34-74). There were four operative deaths unrelated to the pancreaticojejunal anastomosis and two pancreatic fistulas with spontaneous healing. The pancreatico-jejunostomy using a separate Roux en Y loop represented in this short experience a safe procedure to prevent pancreatic fistula.  相似文献
