Blast Injury to the Lower Limb 123
Данная книга находится в списке для перевода на русский язык сайта https://meduniver.com/
Since then a number of clinical and laboratory investigations have confirmed that ligation of major veins in conjunction with repair of a traumatically injured arterial system leads to significantly poorer clinical outcomes, such as decreased function or even limb loss [17, 18]. Where possible vein repair should be attempted, particularly in the presence of significant lower limb arterial injury, in an attempt to reduce venous hypertension and associated morbidity. While there are few data regarding the long-term outcome of venous repairs, it is the authors’ impression that main­taining venous patency, in the initial few days after injury, can significantly help reduce acute post-injury swelling. If the superficial femoral vein requires ligation, it is important to maintain patency of the ipsilateral long saphenous and profunda femoris veins. Complex vein repair should never be attempted in unstable patients who have sustained major blood loss and have significant problems with hypother­mia and coagulopathy. In more stable patients, however, temporary intraluminal venous shunting can facilitate the construction of larger calibre panel grafts obtained from the contralateral long saphenous vein. [Q7: D, E]
Postoperative management of patients with complex limb injuries is critically important. The majority of these patients have been transferred immediately to the operating theatre and it is important that a thorough search for occult injuries is per­formed on admission to the intensive care unit. These patients are at risk of develop­ing multiple organ dysfunction syndrome as a result of their large transfusion requirements and likely reperfusion injury sustained [19, 20]. It is important that the vascular surgeon communicates clearly with the staff in the intensive care unit regarding the presence or absence of distal pulses, to ensure that vascular repair remains patent. Young trauma patients with normal blood pressure and temperature should have a palpable distal pulse. If there is any doubt regarding the integrity of the vascular repair, the dressings should be removed and a careful assessment performed by a vascular surgeon using handheld Doppler and/or portable ultrasound device.
Wounds should be reinspected 24–48 hours after initial surgery and at that stage definitive plastic surgery may be required to obtain soft tissue and skin cover. [Q8: D] Some centres advocate a selective policy with regard to fasciotomy based on compartmental pressures, while many continue to advocate a more liberal policy based on clinical grounds. Prolonged ischaemia time, combined arteriovenous injuries, complex injuries including bone and soft tissue destruction and crush injuries remain absolute indications for fasciotomy. The avoidance of compartment syndrome and restoration of limb function far outweigh the low morbidity associ­ated with liberal use of fasciotomy. These patients are at significant risk of wound and other nosocomial infections and prolonged antibiotic use may be required.
The management of patients with complex injuries can be difficult; however, timely surgery and the involvement of a multidisciplinary team can produce rewarding results. One possible criticism of the above care could be failure to use the great toe, from the amputated left lower limb, to replace the patient’s right thumb.

Arteriovenous Fistula of the Axillary Artery
Jonathan D. Woody and Rodney A. White
A 21-year-old male sustained a gunshot wound to the anterior right chest. The entrance wound was at the midclavicular line. He was hemodynamically stable upon arrival at the emergency department. He underwent initial resuscitation with intravenous fluids. There was no evidence of hemothorax or pneumothorax on chest X-ray. The right radial pulse was present but diminished when com­pared with the left. The patient had minor neurological symptoms in the right upper extremity, which consisted mainly of weakness of the interosseous muscles of the hand. An arteriogram was obtained, which revealed an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) of the right axillary artery and vein (Fig. 13.1a). The patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout the evaluation period.
Question 1
Acquired AVF is most commonly the result of:
A. Penetrating trauma.
B. Percutaneous puncture.

Treatment
The patient was transferred to the endovascular operating suite and placed under general anesthesia. He was positioned on the interventional table with his right arm on an arm board. A surface ultrasound was performed, which confirmed the location of the AVF. The right arm and chest were prepared into a sterile field, and the abdomen and upper legs were prepared into a separate sterile field. The right brachial artery and vein were surgically exposed and isolated. A sheath was inserted percutaneously into the right femoral artery. Under fluoroscopic guidance, a guidewire was passed through the femoral sheath into the right axillary artery. It was then passed across the injured segment of the right axillary artery and into the right brachial artery to the surgical site. The wire was removed through a small transverse arteriotomy, and a hemostatic sheath was inserted into the artery over the wire.
The length of the axillary artery was interrogated with intravascular ultrasound. The diameter of the axillary artery was 7 mm. A 4-cm segment of deep brachial vein was obtained and sutured to an appropriately sized Palmaz stent. This was crimped onto an expandable balloon and, under fluoroscopic guidance, passed over the guidewire to the site of injury. The balloon was expanded, and the endoluminal device was deployed. The balloon was deflated and removed. The axillary artery was again interrogated with intravascular ultrasound, which demonstrated excellent apposition between the stent and the arterial wall. Complete exclusion of the fistula was documented with both intravascular ultrasound and arteriography (Fig. 13.1b). Flow was then restored to the arm. The arm wound was closed surgically, and pres­sure was applied to the femoral puncture site. Before awakening the patient, surface ultrasound confirmed the closure of the fistula and normal flow through the axillary artery.
Question 4
Which of the following is not considered to be one of the core principles of treat­ment of AVF?
A. Complete closure of the fistula.
B. Restoration of normal arterial flow.
C. Ligation of the arterial inflow
D. Restoration of normal venous flow.
Commentary
AVF is an abnormal communication between an artery and vein. By far the most common cause of acquired AVF is trauma. This is usually the result of a penetrating injury secondary to a knife or bullet, but it can also result from blunt trauma. Iatrogenic injury from percutaneous puncture can also cause AVF. In addition, AVF can be caused by erosion of an arterial aneurysm into an adjacent vein, by a peri­arterial abscess or by a neoplasm, although these are rare. [Q1: A]

Potential complications of AVF can be considered on both a peripheral and a sys­temic level. Peripheral effects may include peripheral arterial insufficiency, dilated and thickened proximal arterial wall (predisposing to infection, i.e. bacterial endar­teritis), venous congestion, venous valvular insufficiency, venous stasis, varicosities, edema, and skin and soft tissue changes. Systemic effects may include increased cardiac output, tachycardia, cardiomegaly, congestive heart failure, increased pulse pressure, decreased diastolic pressure, increased blood volume, increased central venous pressure, and increased stroke volume. [Q2: A, B, C, D, E, F]
The diagnosis of AVF is relatively straightforward. An audible bruit and palpable thrill are often found, especially in peripheral lesions. The gold standard for diagno­sis is arteriography. The most important point is to delineate clearly the anatomy of the fistula so that treatment may be planned. Other diagnostic modalities include color-flow duplex ultrasound, CT, and MRI and/or MRA. [Q3: D]
Treatment of AVF is best carried out early rather than late. The longer an AVF is present, the more likely the patient will be to develop complications. Further, the longer it exists, the more likely it is to develop significant collateral flow, which increases the complexity of the repair. The principles of repair, whether conven­tional or endovascular, are the same: complete closure of the fistula and restoration of normal arterial and venous flow. [Q4: C] Conventional repair can be undertaken in a number of ways but will not be described here since conventional repair is not the focus of this chapter.
The first report of successful endovascular repair of an arterial injury was by Becker et al. [1]. Further reports by Parodi and Barone [2], Marin et al. [3] and May et al. [4] have demonstrated a high rate of technical success with persistent fistula closure, excellent long-term patency, and a low incidence of complications. Endovascular treatment of AVF is ideal because most of these injuries are localized to a small segment of artery with normal vessel wall on each end. Endovascular treatment of these lesions also avoids the major morbidity of conventional open repair, which can be significant. Endovascular access is achieved at a site remote from the area of injury and can be performed percutaneously in many cases. There is little damage to surrounding structures since only the affected vessel is manipu­lated. If endovascular treatment is successful, then the benefits for the patient include a shorter hospitalization period and a quicker return to normal activity. The only major concern is long-term patency and function of the endoluminal stent graft, since these studies are not yet available. However, due to the relatively short length of the stent graft, its placement in large-diameter vessels, and the high flow rates in these vessels, it is reasonable to assume that the long-term patency would be good [5]. It is of note that our patient was hemodynamically stable. Although endovascular technology continues to evolve and improve, it must be emphasized that a hemodynamically unstable patient who has sustained penetrating trauma should undergo immediate open surgical exploration.

A 62-year-old man with intermittent claudication was referred for vascular risk factor modification. He had no history of myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke. He was smoking 20 cigarettes/day. His family history was negative for premature vascular events. He was not taking any medication. He was advised to start aspirin 75 mg/day, but he stopped taking these tablets because of “stomach dis­comfort”. The patient’s total cholesterol was 228 mg/dl (5.9 mmol/l).
His blood pressure required treatment with amlodipine and a thiazide diuretic. The patient eventually stopped smoking after referral to the smoking cessation clinic in our hospital.
Question 1
Which of the following investigations would you order?
A. Fasting serum glucose.
B. Urine glucose to make a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.
C. Fasting serum triglycerides.
D. Fasting serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).
E. Thyroid function tests.
A. Requesting a fasting serum glucose level is an essential test in all patients with vascular disease. In this case the fasting glucose was 87 mg/dl (4.8 mmol/l); this is satisfactory.
Interpretation of fasting glucose values:
There are three categories in which a patient can be placed relative to fasting serum glucose levels:
Normal: fasting glucose =110 mg/dl (=6.0 mmol/l).

Fasting glucose:
*According to the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III guidelines [1], any 3 or more of these 5 features are diagnostic of the metabolic syndrome. Other factors that may coexist in these patients include a family history of type 2 diabetes, South Asian ethnicity, decreased physical activity, smoking, elevated serum urate levels and evidence of fatty liver (abnormal levels of aminotransferases, ALT/AST).
There is evidence (post-hoc analysis) from the Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Study (4S) that IFG and diabetic patients benefit from treatment with simvastatin [2]. More recently, a trial in type 2 diabetic patients without established vascular disease showed a beneficial effect of atorvastatin 10 mg/day (vs. placebo) in reducing the risk of first cardiovascular events, including stroke [3].
Both diabetes and metabolic syndrome are common in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) [4]. Furthermore, both diabetes and PAD are considered as coronary heart disease (CHD) equivalent and need to be treated aggressively [1].
<130/<85 mm Hg
=110 mg/dl (=6.0 mmol/l)
Impaired fasting glucose (IFG): fasting glucose 110–125 mg/dl (6.0–6.9 mmol/l).
Diabetes mellitus: fasting glucose =126 mg/dl (=7.0 mmol/l).
IFG is associated with an increased risk of vascular events and conversion to dia­betes mellitus. Furthermore, a glucose level in the IFG range can be one of the fea­tures of the metabolic syndrome (also known as insulin resistance or Reaven’s syndrome) [1] (Table 14.1).
B. This patient’s urine was tested when he was first seen in outpatients. The renal threshold for glucose is a serum level of about 180–200 mg/dl (10–11 mmol/l). Therefore, testing urine for glucose will not detect IFG or early/mild diabetes. Clinicians must not rely on a urine glucose test to exclude IFG or early diabetes. In view of the serum glucose value (see A, above), it is not surprising that the urine glucose test was negative. However, testing the urine was an opportunity to exclude proteinuria, another indicator of vascular risk.
C. The fasting triglyceride level in this patient was 141 mg/dl (1.6 mmol/l) – this is satisfactory.
Interpretation of fasting triglyceride values:
There has been considerable confusion regarding the importance of triglycerides. There are several reasons for this, including:
Interactions with other lipid variables: serum triglyceride and HDL-C levels are
inversely related. HDL-C is a “protective” lipoprotein.
Interactions with potential risk factors: elevated serum triglyceride levels are
associated with impaired fibrinolysis and possibly elevated plasma levels of fibrinogen. Both type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome are associated with raised serum triglyceride levels.
