How to pass finals...
• Trying to pass you• Justify everything you say• Define and shine....
• Try and put off answering the question for as long as possible!
• Framework is key.....
Objectives
• Understand vascular examination• Describe management of aneurysmal disease• Discuss the principles of arterial disease
management• Discuss the features and management of
venous disease• Diagnosis lymphoedema
Case 1
• 65yo Male• PC – sudden onset central abdominal pain– Dizziness– A/w painful right foot
• PMHx– HTN, high cholesterol– Smoker – 30 pack year history
Case 1
• O/E– HR 110, BP 90/60, RR24, 95% on RA, afebrile– Sweaty, distressed– Diffusely tender abdomen– No pulses on the right distal to femoral
Ruptured AAA
• Surgical emergency• Mortality – without surgery 100%; with 50-75%
• Rates• Rupture/yr - <4.5cm = 9%; 4.5-7cm = 35%; >7cm = 75%
• Mx• Fluid resus – aggrssive + CXM (10 units)• Senior and anaesthetist• If haemodynamically stable – CT scan
AAA
• Normal diameter 1.5-3cm; Aneurysm >3cm• 95% infra-renal• 75% asymptomatic
• Incidence – 5% • Sex – M>F
Case 2
• 65yo male• PC – incidental finding of aneurysm
• Asymptomatic
• Ix – Imaging – CT/USS– Bloods – renal function, cholesterol– Work-up – ECG, ECHO, lung fn
Stable AAA
• Management– Conservative
• Watch and wait - <5cm – serial USS/CT• Risk factor management• (MASS trial – screening beneficial and viable)
• Surgical – UK Small Aneurysm Trial– Indications for surgery
• Symptomatic aneurysms• >5.5cm• Rapidly expanding - >1cm/year• Complicated by embolism
Stable AAA
• Surgical options– Open vs EVAR– EVAR trials• 1 – lower 30 post-op mortility• 2 – reduction in aneurysm related mortality but not all
cause
• Complications– Haemorrhage, renal failure, embolism, graft
infection/migration, MI/infection, endoleaks
Case 3
• 65yo male• PC – sudden onset left foot pain• HPC – 6hr history – severe pain on movement – History of intermittent claudication – 100yds
• PMHx• MI, HTN, Chole, diabetes
• SHx – mobile with stick
Case 3
• O/E– Haemodynamically stable– Cold– Mottled & blanching– Absent pulses distal to popliteal– Painful– Motor and sensation intact
Limb ischaemia
• Acute (on chronic)• Emobilic (thrombotic)– No claudication– Sudden onset (sec/min)– Recent MI/AF/AAA
– Embolectomy– Thrombolysis – Emergency recon– Amputation (10-20%
mort)
• Chronic• Thrombotic– Claudication– Gradual onset (hrs)– Chronic vascular disease
– Thrombolysis– Angioplasty– Emergency recon– Amputation
ManagementGeneral – analgesia, rehydration, NBM, anti-coagulation
Limb ischaemia
• Complications - Immediate– Reperfusion injury• Compartment syndrome• Renal failure• ARDs/toxic shock
• Long-term– Further episodes– Chronic pain syndromes
Chronic Limb ischaemia
• Def – persistently recurring • Incidence – 5% males >50yo• HPC– Intermittent claudication – fixed/reducing
distance– Rest pain – Tissue loss
• RFs – HTN, chole, previous IHD, smoking, DM
Chronic Limb ischaemia
• O/E– Inspection• Cold, pale, increased capillary refill time• Venous guttering • Evidence of tissue loss/ulcers
– Pulses– Buerger’s test/angle– Doppler examination • Triphasic, biphasic, monophasic
Chronic Limb ischaemia
• Conservative– Risk factors management• STOP SMOKING• Excerise – collateralisation• Obesity• Diet• Good BM control in diabetes• Foot care• Treat underlying cardiac disease
Chronic Limb ischaemia
• Medical– Control HTN– Anti-platelet therapy • Aspirin 75mg• Clopidogrel 75mg
– Control lipids • Statins
– Diabetic control
Chronic Limb ischaemia
• Surgery– Indications• Short claudication distance – 50-100yds• Reducing claudication distance• Symptoms greatly effecting QoL• Rest pain/tissue loss
Chronic Limb ischaemia• Surgery– Interventional
• Angioplasty – balloon/stenting– Iliacs – 90% 5yr patency– Femoral – 70% 5yr patency– Not effective distally or if ulcerative disease
– Reconstructive• Reserved for critical ischaemia• Autologous vs. synthetic• Anatomical vs. extra-anatomical
– Endarterectomy – femorals– Amputation
• Lethal limb• Dead limb• Useless limb
Case 4
Venous disease
• Features– Pigmentation/haemosiderosis– Visible veins– Varicose eczema– Lipodermatosclerosis – atrophic change (loss of
elasticity)– Ulceration– Atrophy blanch – healed ulcers
Venous disease• Pathology– Increased pressure in venous system– Gradually become incompetent
• Incidence – 10-20% (F>M)• Causes– Primary
• Congenital absence of valves– Secondary
• Thrombosis• Increased abdominal pressure
– pregnancy/masses/ascites/obesity/constipation• AV malformations• Overactive muscle pumps (e.g. cyclists)
Venous disease
• Conservative• Rx underlying cause – lose wt/constipation• Skin care• Class 2 compression stockings
• Surgical• Injection sclerotherapy• Laser/radiofrequency ablation• Trendelenburg procedure – high tie and ligation• +/- phlebectomies
Venous disease
• Complications of surgery– Bruising– Infection– Bleeding– Neuropraxia– Recurrence/no improvement in cosmesis– DVT – 1/1000
Case 5
Case 6
Lymphoedema
• Features– F>M– Peripheral oedema worse on standing– Non-pitting– Hyperkeratosis, fissuring, secondary infection– Squaring and thickening of nails
Lymphoedema
• Abnormal collections of interstitial fluid• Types– Primary – congenital absence of lymphatics• Congenital• Praecox – Milroy’s Syndrome - <35 – progressive • Tarda - >35
– Secondary• Infiltration – malignant disease• Fibrosis – radiotherapy• Previous surgery• Infections – TB/cellulitis
Lymphoedema
• Treatment– Allow fn and decrease swelling• Conservative
– COMPRESSION– Skin care – Physiotherapy
• Surgical – Debulking of tumours – Bypass– Omental/mesenteric bridges
Others
• Carotid artery disease– 15-25% of all CVAs/TIAs– Ix – Doppler– Management• Conservative
– anti-platelet therapy– Risk factor management– Surgery in asymptomatic disease controversial
• Surgery – carotid endartectomy– Symptomatic – 70 – 99% stenosis– Urgent surgery within 2 weeks
– NASCET and ECST
Others
• Aortic dissection– Split in intima and internal portion of media
allowing blood to enter and extend proximally and distally
– Types• A – 70%
– Affects arch and ascending aorta– 10-20% mortality – 100% need surgery – Aortic root replacement
• B – 30%– Distal to left subclavian– Conservative Mx unless evidence of visceral or limb ischaemia
