Objective: In this article, we aim to prove the safety and effectiveness of orthotopic renal autotransplantation using ex vivo repair for the treatment of complex renovascular hypertension (RVH). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed five consecutive patients (three women, two men) with young-onset RVH from January 2009 to August 2014. Orthotopic renal autotransplantation using ex vivo repair was performed and perioperative data were collected for statistical analysis. Results: The median age at diagnosis was 20 years (range, 11 to 27 years). Technique success was achieved in all the patients with no in-hospital or late deaths. During a median follow-up of 3.4 years (range, 1.5 to 6 years), the postoperative blood pressure was decreased compared with preoperative level (204 ± 8/133 ± 8 mm Hg vs 129 ± 3/78 ± 5 mm Hg; p < 0.0001). The postoperative anti-hypertensive medications number was reduced (3.4 ± 0.4 vs 0.2 ± 0.2; p < 0.0001). Early and late renal functions were both well preserved as measured by no changes in serum creatinine level ( p > 0.05). The primary patent rate was 100% (5/5) at one-year follow-up. Conclusion: In our small series, orthotopic renal autotransplantation using ex vivo repair was safe and effective for the resolution of complex young-onset RVH.

Purpose: To evaluate initial technical success, procedural complications, and 12-month patency of duplex-guided angioplasty compared to conventional fluoroscopically-guided procedures. Methods: One hundred four patients (65 men; mean age 69 years) who underwent duplex-guided femoropopliteal angioplasty were compared to 104 patients undergoing fluoroscopically-guide procedures who were matched for age, sex, baseline ankle-brachial index (ABI), and length and grade of lesion. Patients were followed for 12 months, and restenosis was assessed by ABI and duplex sonography. Results: Technical success was achieved in 88 (84.6%) patients from the duplex-guided group and in 102 (98.1%) control patients (p=0.001). Periprocedural complications occurred in 12.5% (n=13) and 18.3% (n=19), respectively (p=0.4). Contrast-induced transient renal impairment was observed in 7 (6.7%) patients in the fluoroscopic group. One hundred (96.1%) patients in the duplex and 102 (98.1%) patients in the fluoroscopic group completed the 12-month follow-up. Restenosis was found in 35 (39.8%) patients of the duplex group and in 38 (37.2%) patients of the fluoroscopic group (p=0.8). Conclusions: Technical success of duplex-guided procedures was significantly lower compared to fluoroscopic angioplasty; complications and 12-month patency were similar with both techniques. Duplex-guided angioplasty may be a feasible alternative, particularly for patients at high risk for contrast-induced complications.

Purpose: To report clinical experience with retrievable Günther Tulip filters from implantation to retrieval and their status in nonretrieved situations. Methods: Seventy-five Günther Tulip filter implantations were performed in 71 patients (43 women; mean age 55 years). Indications for filter placement were pulmonary embolism (PE) or iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with a contraindication to anticoagulation (43, 61%) or perioperative PE prophylaxis (28, 39%) in patients with confirmed iliofemoral DVT. Retrieval procedures were planned for each patient. Patients with nonretrieved filters were followed with plain radiography and duplex sonography. Results: Technical success of filter insertion was 97.3% (73/75). Eighteen (25%) patients died from unrelated causes prior to retrieval attempts, and 6 other patients were too critically ill for a retrieval procedure. Of 49 (67%) planned retrieval attempts, 14 (19%) filters could not be removed owing to large trapped thrombi. The mean implantation period for the 35 (48%) retrieved filters was 8.2 days (range 1–13). Delivery tilt was observed in 12 (16%) filters and during retrieval attempts in 1 more case. For 9 nonretrieved filters, tilt and migration were observed in 22% at a mean follow-up of 30 months, but no venous thrombosis was assessed. Conclusions: Our data confirm the clinical efficacy of the Günther Tulip filter during implantation and the feasibility of its retrieval. Further long-term follow-up should be conducted on nonretrieved filters to confirm our results.
