Objective To summarize the outcome in surgical management and medical therapy of aneurysm involved in Behcet’s disease. Methods From April 1977 to December 2004,7 patients (one female) were admitted. There were 4 false aneurysms in aortic isthmus, and 1 right subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm, and 1 right axillary artery false aneurysm, and 1 thoracicoabdominal multiple pseudoaneurysms. Surgical procedures included 4 aneurysmorrhaphys and patch angioplasties, 1 aneurysmorrhaphy and tube graft replacement, 1 covered stents and axillary to axillary artery bypasses, 1 aneurysmorrhaphy and right subclavian artery ligation. The other 3 cases survived. Results There were no hospital death, but there were 1 anastomotic aneurysm occurrence, 2 new aneurysms formation, 1 femoral artery occlusion at canal insertion site, and 1 bypass graft occlusion. Follow-up from 1 to 12 months, there were death in 4 cases. Conclusions Behcet’s disease could easily result in anastomotic aneurysm and/or new aneurysm or rupture occurrence. Based on location of lesion, selection of proper intervention, and combination with immunosuppression therapy, the satisfactory result could be obtained, therein, prosthetic graft replacement surpasses the patch angioplasty.
目的:分析白塞氏病合并結核感染的臨床特點及相關因素。方法:回顧分析2002年至今四川大學華西醫院臨床免疫科收治的初診為白塞氏病且合并結核感染的病歷資料,并結合相關文獻分析可能的相關因素。結果:37例首診為白塞氏病的患者中有10例(29.7%)合并結核感染,4例(10.8%)既往有結核病史,經抗結核或/和抗白塞氏病治療后好轉。結論:應警惕白塞氏病與結核感染并存,結核感染的臨床表現可能和白塞氏病相混淆,需做好鑒別診斷并合理治療。
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative immunosuppressive therapy combined with surgical intervention. MethodsA retrospective study was conducted on Beh?et's disease patients who underwent cardiac surgery at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital from 2012 to 2021. Patients were divided into immunosuppressive group and non-immunosuppressive group based on whether they received immunosuppressive therapy before surgery. The complications and long-term survival rates of the two groups were analyzed. ResultsA total of 28 patients were included, among which 2 patients underwent reoperation, a total of 30 surgeries were performed, including 16 males (53.3%), and the confirmed age was 37 (31, 45) years old. There were 15 surgeries in the immunosuppressive group and 15 surgeries in the non-immunosuppressive group. Compared with the non-immunosuppressive group, the incidence of complications during hospitalization in the immunosuppressive group was lower (13.3% vs. 53.3%, P=0.008). One patient died in hospital, and the rest were discharged and followed up, with a median follow-up time of 38.7 (15.1, 57.3) months, and there was no statistically significant difference in long-term survival rate between the two groups (26.7% vs. 6.7%, P=0.158). There was no statistically significant difference in the cumulative incidence of complications one month (20% vs. 53%, P=0.058) and one year (27% vs. 60%, P=0.065) after surgery between the immunosuppressive group and the non-immunosuppressive group, but there was a statistically significant difference in the cumulative incidence of complications three years after surgery (47% vs. 92%, P=0.002). ConclusionSurgical treatment can save lives in Beh?et's disease patients with cardiovascular diseases, but the incidence of postoperative complications is high. Timely use of immunosuppressants before cardiovascular surgery can reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.
