Abstract

Background: In this study, we present the surgical outcomes of vertebral artery stenosis with and mid-term follow-up results. Methods: Between September 2012 and April 2015, data of a total of 13 patients (8 males, 5 females; mean age, 62.3±5.0 years; range, 54 to 70 years) who were operated for vertebral artery stenosis were retrospectively analyzed using hospital records. Demographic characteristics of the patients, comorbidities, smoking status, ejection fraction values, procedures applied, length of cardiovascular intensive care unit and hospital stay, and mortality rates were recorded. Results: No mortality was observed in any patient. Six patients (46.2%) had minor morbidities. Two patients had hoarseness, and lymphatic drainage, ipsilateral lip asymmetry, ipsilateral arm pain and revision surgery for bleeding developed in each case. The mean length of intensive care unit and hospital stay was 1.2±0.6 (1 to 3) and 3.7±1.3 (3 to 7) days, respectively. The mean follow-up was 14.7±8.8 (1.7 to 30.2) months (total 15.9 patient/years). None of the patients had a cerebrovascular event during follow-up. Two patients had short-term symptoms (vertigo and ipsilateral burning pain of arm). Restenosis was seen in one patient (7.7%). The mean restenosis-free survival time was 11.3±10.3 (0.4 to 30.2) months (total 11.3 patient/years). The mean one-year patency of the vertebral artery was 83.3±15.2%. Conclusion: Vertebral artery surgery is a surgical modality which yields successful results in a long-time neglected field. Surgical treatment should be considered in patients with vertebral artery stenosis with its high patency and survival rates.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada kliniğimizde vertebral arter darlığı nedeniyle ameliyata alınan hastaların ameliyat ve orta dönem takip sonuçları sunuldu.Çalış­ma­ planı:­ Eylül 2012 - Nisan 2015 tarihleri arasında vertebral arter darlığı nedeniyle ameliyat edilen toplam 13 hastanın (8 erkek, 5 kadın; ort. yaş 62.3±5.0 yıl; dağılım 54-70 yıl) verileri hastane kayıtları kullanılarak geriye dönük incelendi. Hastaların demografik özellikleri, eşlik eden hastalıklar, sigara kullanımı ve ejeksiyon fraksiyon değerleri, uygulanan işlemler, kalp damar cerrahisi yoğun bakım ünitesinde ve hastanede kalış süreleri ve mortalite oranları kaydedildi.Bulgu­lar:­ Hiçbir hastada mortalite gözlenmedi. Altı hastada (%46.2) minör morbidite görüldü. İki hastada ses kısıklığı ve birer hastada lenfatik akıntı, aynı taraf dudak asimetrisi, aynı taraf kol ağrısı ve kanama revizyonu gelişti. Ortalama yoğun bakım ve hastanede kalış süresi, sırasıyla 1.2±0.6 (1-3) ve 3.7±1.3 (3-7) gün idi. Takip süresi ortalama 14.7±8.8 (1.7-30.2) ay (toplam 15.9 hasta/yıl) idi. Takip süresince hiçbir hastada serebrovasküler olay izlenmedi. İki hastada (%14.4) kısa süreli semptomlar görüldü (baş dönmesi ve aynı taraf kolda yanma hissi). Bir hastada (%7.7) restenoz görüldü. Restenozsuz sağkalım süresi ortalama 11.3±10.3 (0.4-30.2) ay (toplam 11.3 hasta/yıl) idi. Bir yıllık ortalama vertebral arter açıklık oranı %83.3±15.2 idi.Sonuç:­ Vertebral arter cerrahisi uzun zamandır ihmal edilen bir alanda başarılı sonuçlar veren bir cerrahi yöntemdir. Yüksek açıklık ve sağkalım oranları ile cerrahi tedavi vertebral arter darlığı olan hastalarda göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
