    Can contrast-enhanced ultrasound with second-generation contrast agents replace computed tomography angiography for distinguishing between occlusion and pseudo-occlusion of the internal carotid artery?
    (2015) VENTURA, Carlos Augusto Pinto; SILVA, Erasmo Simao da; CERRI, Giovanni Guido; LEAO, Pedro Puech; TACHIBANA, Adriano; CHAMMAS, Maria Cristina
    OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of contrast-enhanced ultrasound with a second-generation contrast agent in distinguishing between occlusion and pseudo-occlusion of the cervical internal carotid artery, comparing it with that of conventional Doppler ultrasound and the gold standard, computed tomography angiography. METHOD: Between June 2006 and June 2012, we screened 72 symptomatic vascular surgery outpatients at a public hospital. Among those patients, 78 cervical internal carotid arteries were previously classified as occluded by Doppler ultrasound (without contrast). The patients were examined again with Doppler ultrasound, as well as with contrast-enhanced ultrasound and computed tomography angiography. The diagnosis was based on the presence or absence of flow. RESULTS: Among the 78 cervical internal carotid arteries identified as occluded by Doppler ultrasound, occlusion was confirmed by computed tomography angiography in only 57 (73.1%), compared with 59 (77.5%) for which occlusion was confirmed by contrast-enhanced ultrasound (p>0.5 vs. computed tomography angiography). Comparing contrast-enhanced ultrasound with Doppler ultrasound, we found that the proportion of cervical internal carotid arteries classified as occluded was 24.4% higher when the latter was used (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that, in making the differential diagnosis between occlusion and pseudo-occlusion of the cervical internal carotid artery, contrast-enhanced ultrasound with a second-generation contrast agent is significantly more effective than conventional Doppler ultrasound and is equally as effective as the gold standard (computed tomography angiography). Our findings suggest that contrast-enhanced ultrasound could replace computed tomography angiography in this regard.

    Open and endovascular repair of juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms: a systematic review
    (2014) BELCZAK, Sergio Quilici; LANZIOTTI, Luiz; BOTELHO, Yuri; AUN, Ricardo; SILVA, Erasmo Simao da; PUECH-LEAO, Pedro; LUCCIA, Nelson de
    This systematic review focuses on the 30-day mortality associated with open surgery and fenestrated endografts for short-necked (<15 mm) juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. A search for studies published in English and indexed in the PubMed and Medline electronic databases from 2002 to 2012 was performed, using ""juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm"" and ""treatment"" as the main keywords. Among the 110 potentially relevant studies that were initially identified, eight were in accordance with the inclusion criteria in the analysis. Similar outcomes for open and endovascular repair were observed for 30-day mortality. No differences were observed regarding the secondary outcomes (duration of surgery, hospital stay, postoperative renal dysfunction and late mortality), except that the late mortality rate was significantly higher for the patients treated with open repair after a median follow-up of 24 months. Fenestrated endografting is a viable alternative to conventional surgery in juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms with a proximal neck <15 mm.

    Biomechanical Analysis of Cadaveric Thoracic Aorta Zones: The Isthmus is the Weakest Region
    (2021) GOMES, Vivian Carla; SILVESTRE, Gina Camillo; QUEIROZ, Alexandre; MARQUES, Michele Alberto; LEAO, Pedro Puech; SILVA, Erasmo Simao da
    Background: The thoracic aorta is a site of multiple pathological processes, such as aneurysms and dissections. When considering the development of endovascular devices, this vessel has been extensively manipulated because of aortic diseases, as well as to serve as a route for procedures involving the head and neck vessels. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to obtain biomechanical experimental information about the strength and deformability of this vessel. Materials and Methods: Thirty-one thoracic aorta specimens were harvested during the autopsy procedure. They were carefully dissected and transversally sectioned according to Criado's aortic arch map landing zones (0 to 4). The supra-aortic trunks were removed, and the aortic rings were opened in their convexity, which resulted in flat tissue segments. Four millimeter-wide strips were prepared from each zone after which they were attached to a clip system connected to the INSTRON SPEC 2200 device, which was responsible for pulling the fragment up to its rupture during the uniaxial tension test. The INSPEC software was used to coordinate the test, and data management was conducted via the SERIES IX software. The biomechanical variables that were measured included failure stress, failure tension, and failure strain. Results: When comparing the five segments from all 31 aortas, three different strength levels were observed. Zones 0 and 1 exhibited the highest failure stress and failure tension values, followed by Zones 2 and 4. Zone 3 (aortic isthmus) was the weakest segment that was tested when compared to the stress and tension of Zones 0 and 1 (P < 0.001), the stress and tension of Zone 2 (P = 0.005 and P = 0.002, respectively) and the stress and tension of Zone 4 (P = 0.023 and P = 0.006, respectively). Among donors > 65 years-old, women presented significantly weaker descending aortas than men in regards to stress (P = 0.049) and tension (P = 0.014). Among male donors, the elderly donors presented significantly stiffer aortic walls and weaker ascending (P = 0.029 for stress) and descending (P = 0.004 for stress; P = 0.031 for tension) aortas than younger men. Conclusions: Uniaxial tensile strength tests revealed that the thoracic aorta is a very heterogeneous vessel. Isthmus frailty may add to the understanding of the pathophysiology of some aortic diseases that commonly compromise this region. The lower strength that was verified in some aortic segments from elderly donors may contribute to the genesis of some thoracic aorta diseases among that group of donors. These data can contribute to the development of new endovascular devices that are specifically designed for this vessel.

    Endovascular and open repair for blunt aortic injury, treated in one clinical institution in Brazil. A case series
    (2011) SINCOS, Igor Rafael; AUN, Ricardo; BELCZAK, Sergio Quilici; NASCIMENTO, Luciano Dias; NETTO, Boulanger Mioto; CASELLA, Ivan; SILVA, Erasmo Simao da; PUECH-LEAO, Pedro
    OBJECTIVE: The objective of this retrospective study is to analyze and compare the results of conventional surgical repair and endovascular treatment of blunt aortic injury over the past 8 years. METHODS: Twenty-eight patients (25 male; mean age, 35 years) were treated for blunt aortic injury between April 2001 and March 2009 in a university hospital in Brazil. Twenty-six patients were included in the study: five were treated with operative repair (OR) and 21 with endovascular treatment (TEVAR). Two patients were excluded from analysis: one was managed conservatively, and one was treated with endovascular treatment for chronic dissection related to aortic trauma. RESULTS: Mean age was lower in the OR group than in the endovascular treatment group (17.8 vs. 38 years, P = .003). There was one death in the OR group and four deaths in the endovascular treatment group. Mean follow-up for the overall group was 33.6 months, with 48.7 months (range 8-83 months) for the OR group, and 29.8 months (range 2-91 months) for the TEVAR group. Mean time elapsed from injury to repair was 23.4 hours (range 8-48 h, median 20 h) for the OR group and 30.3 hours (range 2-240 h, median 18 h) for the TEVAR group (P = .374). The duration of surgery was shorter in the endovascular treatment group (142 versus 237 minutes; P = .005). There were no significant differences with respect to the number of postoperative days requiring mechanical ventilation, duration of ICU stay or duration of hospital stay. CONCLUSION: In this retrospective analysis, endovascular treatment was a safe method for repair of blunt aortic trauma, with immediate and midterm results that were comparable to those results obtained with operative repair. No complications from the stent graft were identified during follow-up. Nevertheless, long-term follow-up is necessary to confirm the effectiveness of this treatment.

    Biomechanical Properties and Microstructural Analysis of the Human Nonaneurysmal Aorta as a Function of Age, Gender and Location: An Autopsy Study
    (2015) NINOMIYA, Otavio Henrique; MONTEIRO, Jose Augusto Tavares; HIGUCHI, Maria de Lourdes; PUECH-LEAO, Pedro; LUCCIA, Nelson de; RAGHAVAN, Madhavan Lakshmi; SILVA, Erasmo Simao da
    Introduction: The biomechanical failure properties and histological composition of the human nonaneurysmal aorta were studied. Methods: Twenty-six human aortas were harvested from fresh cadavers at autopsy. A total of 153 circumferentially oriented strips were obtained from the aortas for biomechanical and histological studies. Results: The failure load (6.18 +/- 2.03 vs. 4.85 +/- 2.04 N; p = 0.001), failure tension (19.88 +/- 9.05 vs. 14.53 +/- 7 N/cm; p = 0.001), failure strain (0.66 +/- 0.31 vs. 0.49 +/- 0.25; p = 0.003) and amount of elastic fibers (19.39 +/- 15.57 vs. 14.06 +/- 9.5%; p = 0.011) were all significantly higher for the thoracic than the abdominal aorta. There was a significant negative correlation between age and failure load (R = -0.35; p < 0.0001), failure stress (R = -0.63; p < 0.0001), failure tension (R = -0.52; p < 0.0001) and failure strain (R = -0.8; p < 0.0001). Male aortas had a higher failure load and failure tension than female aortas. Conclusion: The thoracic aorta has a higher strength and elasticity than the abdominal aorta. The elderly have weaker and stiffer aortas than the young. Male aortas are stronger than female aortas. (C) 2016 S. Karger AG, Basel

    Type II Endoleaks, Left-Arm Complications, and Need of Revascularization after Left Subclavian Artery Coverage for Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms Endovascular Repair: A Systematic Review
    (2017) BELCZAK, Sergio Quilici; SILVA, Erasmo Simao; KLAJNER, Rafael; PUECH-LEAO, Pedro; LUCCIA, Nelson De
    Background: The status of the left arm, the need of revascularization, and the occurrence of type II endoleakes from de left subclavian artery (LSA) after intention LSA coverage for thoracic aortic aneurysm endovascular repair need to be better understood. This systematic review was developed for contributing with such issue. Methods: Systematic literature review of studies published from January 2000 through December 2015 identified 7 studies comprising 201 patients submitted to elective endovascular repair for thoracic aortic aneurysms requiring intentional LSA coverage. Outcomes of interest included left-arm complications (ischemia, symptoms of claudication, and subclavian steal syndrome [SSS]) requiring postoperative revascularization of LSA, as well as endoleaks from the subclavian artery requiring postoperative embolization of LSA. Results: Left-arm complication rate was 4.5% (9 patients), requiring postoperative revascularization of LSA in 1 case (0.5%) of SSS. Type II endoleaks from the subclavian artery requiring postoperative embolization of LSA were reported in 2 cases (1.0%). Conclusions: Low-quality evidence suggests very low rates of arm complications with need of LSA revascularization and of type II endoleaks requiring embolization in elective endovascular treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms with intentional coverage of LSA without prophylactic revascularization of LSA.

    The Distensibility of the Human Vena Cava and Its Importance to In Vitro Studies of Venous Compression Syndromes: A Search for a Suitable Polymer for 3-Dimensional Printing
    (2023) PUECH-LEAO, Pedro; TORRES, Inez O.; SILVA, Erasmo S. da; CESTARI, Ismar N.; CESTARI, Idagene A.; ROSA, Jhenyfer M. da; NAHAS, William C.; LUCCIA, Nelson De
    Background: Venous compression syndromes are clinical conditions in which the large veins are compressed by other anatomical structures. Laboratory simulations may help us better understand the hemodynamics in venous compressions by creating situations similar to those seen in vivo. The aim of this study is to produce a model of the caval bifurcation using a polymer with distensibility similar to the human vena cava. Methods: Fragments of the inferior vena cava were collected from 13 deceased kidney donors (aged 15-37 years) and were tested for deformation (strain) when subjected to distension at 50 N/cm2. Strips of 5 different polymers-thermic polyurethane and Agilus30 with Vero Magenta (AV) (in 3 different hardnesses) and silicone-were subjected to the same biomechanical tests and compared with the vena cava. A model of the caval bifurcation was produced with 3-D printing. Results: The deformation (strain) of the vena cava wall was 0.16 & PLUSMN; 0.9 when submitted to stress close to 50 N/cm2. Silicone showed a strain higher than the standard deviation of venous fragments. The strain of AV resin 95 Shore was lower than the standard deviation of the venous fragments. AV Resins 70 and 85 Shore showed strains within the standard deviation of the venous specimen, with 70 Shore being closest to the mean venous strain. Therefore, this material was selected for modeling the caval bifurcation. The computed tomography scan image generated a computer model of the caval bifurcation and was printed in 3 dimensions. In addition, the segments of 2 adjacent vertebrae were also printed to reference the compression site. Conclusions: The 3-D printing of large veins can produce models with anatomy and biome-chanics similar to those of human veins and opens a field of investigation into the hemody-namics of venous compression syndromes. Polymers with Shore A70 appear to have biomechanical properties similar to those of the vena cava wall. The model obtained in this study can be used in several in vitro studies of May-Thurner Syndrome.

    Removal of Intravascular Foreign Bodies With a Simple Low-Cost Method: A Report of 5 Cases
    (2021) RIBEIRO, Felipe Soares; KUMAKURA, Harue; SILVA, Erasmo Simao da; PUECH-LEAO, Pedro; LUCCIA, Nelson De
    Purpose: Intravascular embolization of hemodialysis and central venous catheters is a rare but potentially serious complication. With the increasing use of catheters in medical practice, we are often faced with this type of complication. Novel, simple, and low-cost techniques are needed for foreign body extraction in order to reduce cardiovascular risks. Case Report: We describe the approach of 5 foreign body embolization cases. Case 1: a 57-year-old woman with end-stage renal failure with a complete fracture and migration of the distal extremity of a hemodialysis catheter. Case 2: a 55-year-old man with an accidental embolization of the distal portion of a hemodialysis catheter. Case 3: a 76-year-old woman with stage IV breast cancer and an accidental embolization of a central venous catheter guidewire. Cases 4 and 5: a 71-year-old woman and a 2-year-old boy with a port-a-cath embolization. All the patients underwent successful minimally invasive removal of the foreign bodies from the thoracic site using 5Fr pigtail catheters. Additional surgery was not required. No further complications, such as damage to the vascular wall, were noted. Conclusion: Our experience with the interlacing and traction pigtail show that it is a simple, practical, and low-cost technical alternative and its benefits should be widespread.

    A randomized clinical trial of the effects of saphenous and perforating veins radiofrequency ablation on venous ulcer healing (VUERT trial)
    (2021) PUGGINA, Juliana; SINCOS, Igor Rafael; CAMPOS JR., Walter; PORTA, Rina Maria P.; SANTOS, Jorgete Barreto dos; LUCCIA, Nelson De; PUECH-LEAO, Pedro; COLLARES, Felipe Birchal; SILVA, Erasmo Simao da
    Objectives To investigate whether radiofrequency endovenous ablation (RFA) of saphenous and perforating veins increases venous leg ulcer (VLU) healing rates and prevents ulcer recurrence. Method This prospective, open-label, randomized, controlled, single-center trial recruited 56 patients with VLU divided into: compression alone (CR, N = 29) and RFA plus compression (RF, N = 27). Primary endpoints were ulcer recurrence rate at 12 months; and ulcer healing rates at 6, 12, and 24 weeks. Secondary endpoints were ulcer healing velocity; and Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS). Results Recurrence was lower in the RF group (p < .001), as well as mean VCSS after treatment (p = .001). There were no significant between-group differences in healing rates. Healing velocity was faster in the RF group (p = 0.049). In the RF group, 2 participants had type 1 endovenous heat-induced thrombosis (EHIT). Conclusions RFA plus compression is an excellent treatment for VLU because of its safety, effectiveness, and impact on ulcer recurrence reduction and clinical outcome.
