We here evaluated the effectiveness and safety of renal artery stent placement for blunt renal artery injury at our institution. Materials and Methods : We retrospectively reviewed five patients (4 males, and 1 female) with partially occluded renal artery injury that had been treated with stenting over a 10-year period at our institution. Results : Trauma resulted from falling in four patients and a motor vehicle accident in one. All patients received mul-tiple injuries (median injury severity score, 32; range, 22-57). Median survival probability was 0.547 (0.533-0.980). And median follow-up duration was 12 (3-110) months. Although two patients developed reversible acute renal failure, none required permanent hemodialysis. Furthermore all patients survived, and no direct stenting complications were observed. At follow-up, contrast computed tomography scanning showed renal artery patency and an absence of renal atrophy in these patients. Renal scintigraphy was performed in three patients and showed renal function preservation. One patient with renovascular hypertension was successfully treated with antihypertensive agents for a month and subsequently became normotensive without requiring further medication. Conclusions : All patients survived renal artery stenting with no direct complications. In addition, the renal function was preserved without permanent renovascular hypertension. We therefore consider that renal artery stent placement is an effective and favorable treatment option for partially occluded blunt renal artery injury.","PeriodicalId":19447,"journal":{"name":"Nihon Kyukyu Igakukai Zasshi","volume":"45 1","pages":"9-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79162724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) was performed and she was admitted to intensive care unit (ICU). Following admission to ICU, the patient was diagnosed with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) caused by amniotic fluid embolism. In addition to DIC treatment, she received methylprednisolone therapy for three days and underwent a two-day plasma exchange. On the 19th day of treatment, she developed cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and we started anticoagu-lant therapy.

She was pathologically diagnosed with Type 1 retained placenta (trapped placenta) and amniotic fluid embolism. The patient was discharged on the 134th day of treatment with a modified Rankin Scale of 1.

Isolated visceral artery dissection is rare, but it is necessary to consider as the cause of sudden severe epigastralgia or back pain. Subjects & Methods : Between January 2010 and December 2012, nine cases diagnosed with dissection of isolated visceral artery were experienced in our hospital. We retrospectively examined their medical records to obtain patients’ data. Results : Four of the patients were men. The average age was 61±13 years. Six superior mesenteric artery, two celiac artery and one left gastric artery dissection were detected. As risk factors, there were four cases each of hypertension and smoking. All cases had sudden abdominal or back pain. Eight cases were diagnosed by contrasting CT (Com-puted Tomography), and one case by angiography. Four cases were diagnosed by radiologist, not emergency physician. D-dimer was elevated in 2 cases. No patients had organ ischemia, so all patients were well managed with conservative therapy. Conclusion : We need to consider isolated dissection of visceral artery as the cause of severe epigastralgia or back pain. CT is useful for diagnosis, but diagnosis is actually difficult. D-dimer is not useful in ruling out this disease. If intestinal ischemia is not detected, conservative management may provide a good course.
