Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration for gastric varices via the intercostal vein

Gastric varices are usually associated with a gastrorenal(G-R) shunt.However,the gastric varices described in this case report were not associated with a G-R shunt.The inflow vessel was the posterior gastric vein and the outflow vessels were the narrow inferior phrenic vein and the dilated cardio-phrenic vein.First,percutaneous transhepatic obliteration of the posterior gastric vein was performed,but the gastric varices remained patent.Then,micro-balloon catheterization of the subphrenic vein was carried out via the jugular vein,pericardial vein and cardio-phrenic vein,however,micro-balloon-occluded inferior phrenic venography followed by micro-coil embolization of the cardio-phrenic vein revealed no delineation of gastric varices resulting in no further treatment.Thereafter,as a gastrosubphrenic-intercostal vein shunt developed,a microballoon catheter was advanced to the gastric varices via the intercostal vein and balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration(BRTO) was performed resulting in the eradication of gastric varices.BRTO for gastric varices via the intercostal vein has not previously been documented.

Phrenic and intercostal nerves with rhythmic discharge can promote early nerve regeneration after brachial plexus repair in rats

Exogenous discharge can positively promote nerve repair. We, therefore, hypothesized that endogenous discharges may have similar effects. The phrenic nerve and intercostal nerve, controlled by the respiratory center, can emit regular nerve impulses; therefore these endogenous automatically discharging nerves might promote nerve regeneration. Action potential discharge patterns were examined in the diaphragm, external intercostal and latissimus dorsi muscles of rats. The phrenic and intercostal nerves showed rhythmic clusters of discharge, which were consistent with breathing frequency. From the first to the third intercostal nerves, spontaneous discharge amplitude was gradually increased. There was no obvious rhythmic discharge in the thoracodorsal nerve. Four animal groups were performed in rats as the musculocutaneous nerve cut and repaired was bland control. The other three groups were followed by a side-to-side anastomosis with the phrenic nerve, intercostal nerve and thoracodorsal nerve. Compound muscle action potentials in the biceps muscle innervated by the musculocutaneous nerve were recorded with electrodes. The tetanic forces of ipsilateral and contralateral biceps muscles were detected by a force displacement transducer. Wet muscle weight recovery rate was measured and pathological changes were observed using hematoxylin-eosin staining. The number of nerve fibers was observed using toluidine blue staining and changes in nerve ultrastructure were observed using transmission electron microscopy. The compound muscle action potential amplitude was significantly higher at 1 month after surgery in phrenic and intercostal nerve groups compared with the thoracodorsal nerve and blank control groups. The recovery rate of tetanic tension and wet weight of the right biceps were significantly lower at 2 months after surgery in the phrenic nerve, intercostal nerve, and thoracodorsal nerve groups compared with the negative control group. The number of myelinated axons distal to the coaptation site of the musculocutaneous nerve at 1 month after surgery was significantly higher in phrenic and intercostal nerve groups than in thoracodorsal nerve and negative control groups. These results indicate that endogenous autonomic discharge from phrenic and intercostal nerves can promote nerve regeneration in early stages after brachial plexus injury.

Cryoanalgesia of intercostal nerves following thoracotomy Clinical trial based on animal experiment

BACKGROUND： Cryoanalgesia at -50 ℃ for 90 seconds yields effective pain relief following thoracotomy. In China, -50 ℃ is a common temperature for intercostal cryoanalgesia following thoracotomy. However, experimental results vary. OBJECTIVE： To explore intercostal nerve pathological changes at -70 ℃ for various freezing times by studying canines, and to evaluate long-term clinical efficacy of intercostal nerve cryoanalgesia for postoperative pain relief based on the animal experiments. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： A comparative animal study was performed at the Animal Experimental Center of the General Hospital of the People＇s Liberation Army. Based on results from the animal study, a randomized, controlled, clinical trial was performed at the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the General Hospital of the People＇s Liberation Army between October 2006 and October 2008. PARTICIPANTS： A total of 120 patients undergoing posterolateral single incision Iobectomy at the Department of Thoracic Surgery of PLA General Hospital between October 2006 and October 2008 were selected. Nervous system diseases were excluded. METHODS： Animal experiment： 8 anaesthetized, mixed-breed dogs were used. The intercostal nerves （costal bone 6-10） were frozen at -70 ℃ for varying times （30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 seconds）. Clinical study： 120 patients were randomly assigned to 2 groups （n = 60）. In the cryoanalgesia group, the intercostal nerves were frozen prior to chest closure, and 4 costal nerves （1 at incision level, 2 above and below incision, and 1 at drainage tube level） were frozen for 90 seconds at-70 ℃, respectively. Intercostal nerves were not frozen in the control group patients. Dolantin was used to relieve postoperative pain in patients from both groups. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Pathological changes in frozen intercostal nerves were examined at days 1, 10, 30, and 60 following freezing. Following surgery, the degree of postoperative pain in all patients was evaluated by visual analogue scale at days 1,3, 5, 9, 30, 60, 90, and 180. Dolantin doses at days 1, 3, 5, 9 post-surgery and postoperative complications were noted. RESULTS： Nerve damage progressively increased with length of freezing time at -70 ℃, and recovery time from damage was gradually increased. After freezing for 90 seconds, the nerves exhibited obvious histopathological damage, and then completely recovered. In addition, after freezing for 180 seconds, the histopathological changes in nerves were reversible. In the clinical study, visual analogue scale scores were significantly less in the cryoanalgesia group compared with the control group （P 〈 0.01）, which was maintained over 30 days. In the cryoanalgesia group, the mean dolantin dose administered and postoperative complications were significantly reduced compared with the control group （P 〈 0.01）. CONCLUSION： Freezing of the intercostal nerve at -70 ℃ for 90 seconds is a safe and long-term effective method for relieving post-thoracotomy pain.

Use of intercostal nerves for different target neurotization in brachial plexus reconstruction

Intercostal nerve transfer is a valuable procedure in devastating plexopathies. Intercostal nerves are a very good choice for elbow flexion or extension and shoulder abduction when the intraplexus donor nerves are not available. The best results are obtained in obstetric brachial plexus palsy patients, when direct nerve transfer is performed within six months from the injury. Unlike the adult posttraumatic patients after median and ulnar nerve neurotization with intercostal nerves, almost all obstetric brachial plexus palsy patients achieve protective sensation in the hand and some of them achieve active wrist and finger flexion. Use in combination with proper muscles, intercostal nerve transfer can yield adequate power to the paretic upper limb. Reinnervation of native muscles(i.e., latissimus dorsi) should always be sought as they can successfully be transferred later on for further functional restoration.

Massive hemothorax due to intercostal arterial bleeding after percutaneous catheter removal in a multiple-trauma patient: A case report

BACKGROUND Intercostal arterial bleeding is unusual complication of percutaneous chest procedures.However,intercostal arterial bleeding is likely to result in critical complications such as abnormalities in vital signs,hypovolemic shock,and death due to massive bleeding.Therefore,it is very important to establish the diagnosis of intercostal arterial bleeding and to initiate treatment.CASE SUMMARY We report a case in which a 59-year-old woman who was hospitalized at intensive care unit with multiple trauma had a massive hemothorax after the removal of a percutaneous catheter.She sustained a refractory right pleural effusion due to biloma caused by a traumatic injury to the liver,despite persistent intraperitoneal drainage.As a result,atelectasis persisted in the dependent portion of the right lung.Therefore,we performed right percutaneous catheter drainage(8.5-F pigtail catheter)for pleural effusion drainage at the 7th intercostal space.After percutaneous catheter removal,portable chest radiography and vital signs of the patient assisted in establishing a diagnosis of intercostal arterial bleeding.Intercostal arterial bleeding was also confirmed using transarterial angiography;and embolization was performed.The patient’s condition progressively improved,and no further intervention was required.CONCLUSION Massive hemothorax is a rare complication of percutaneous catheter removal.Clinicians should carefully examine and diagnose patients to improve prognosis.And interventional selective angiography may be a feasible and minimally invasive treatment for intercostal arterial bleeding control.

Successful Use of Intercostal Muscle Flap in Cavitary Lung Lesions

Background: Lung cavities sometimes result from a number of pathological processes including suppurative necrosis, caseous necrosis, ischemic necrosis and cystic dilatation of lung structures. The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of intercostals muscle flap as a successful method to fill the lung cavity for reduction of symptoms and treatment of patients presented with symptomatic pulmonary cavity and to avoid the risk of pulmonary resection. Methods: This is a prospective study conducted between 2009 to 2012, in department of cardiothoracic surgery, Zagazig University Hospital. The study included 32 patients suffering from cavitary lung lesions divided into two groups, group (A): 14 patients treated by using intercostal muscle flap to fill the defect after Cavernostomy without lung resection;and group (B): 18 patients treated by traditional methods by lung resection. Patients with high risk of lung resection, suspicion of dense adhesion, symptomatic chronic lung abscess and patients with bad pulmonary function tests were included in group (A). Results: 20 patients were male and 12 were females in both groups, the large numbers of cases were lung abscess in group A (4 cases 28.5%) followed by Aspergilloma and TB cavity (3 cases 21.4%). Hemoptysis, persistent cough and expectoration were the main presentation of our patients. Poor pulmonary function was significant finding in group A (7 cases 50%). Complications reported in our study were bleeding, recurrent symptoms and one case mortality in group B after Pneuomenectomy. Conclusion: Using the intercostal muscle flap implanted inside the lung cavity after cavernostomy is a successful alternative curative method especially in cases with high risk of lung resection.

Unexpected Postoperative Paraplegia after Thoracotomy in Lung Cancer: Incidental Migration of Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose Used for Hemostasis of Intercostal Space Bleeding

Background: We experienced a very rare complication, that is, an unexpected postoperative paraplegia due to the incidental migration of oxidized regenerated cellulose used for hemostasis of intercostal space bleeding. Patients and Methods: The objective is to analyze the cause and to take measures against the very rare complication from an empirical analysis and the literature. For a 78-year-old male with suspected lung cancer in the right upper lobe (S1), a thoracotomy was performed. For hemostasis of the bleeding from the 5th intercostal thoracotomy space, we used and placed oxidized regenerated cellulose at the continuous oozing bleeding sites. On the 3rd postoperative day, paralysis beneath thoracic vertebrae level 6 was observed. Immediate computed-tomographic (CT) scanning and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) displayed a 17 × 9 × 14 mm epidural hematoma in the spinal canal at level 5 of the thoracic vertebrae. An emergent laminectomy for the thoracic vertebra was performed to remove the oxidative cellulose and haematoma, and the compression was released. The paraplegia gradually began to recover and maintain a standing position. After 1 year from the event, the patient can walk by himself with a crutch. Results: The causes were that the oxidative cellulose materials were used for the intercostal bleeding at the open thoracotomy. The migration of the oxidative cellulose materials into the epidural space and into thoracic spinal canal through the intervertebral foramen, or gradual penetration of the oxidative cellulose materials into the spinal canal due to respiratory costal movement. As a measurement of prevention, the hemostat materials should be completely removed after finishing of the hemostasis. In the case of a difficult hemostasis, consultation of an orthopedist or neurosurgeon to perform the appropriate hemostasis in good cooperation is required. Conclusion: If postoperative paraplegia is suspected, immediate CT scanning and/or MRI examination would become powerful diagnostic procedures as soon as possible to start an interventional treatment.

Intercostal Muscle Flap in Post Tuberculous Pneumonectomy: A New Technique

Objective: There are many risk factors for postoperative bronchopleural fistula (BPF), including extensive resection, diabetes, chronic infection, perioperative steroid therapy, preoperative chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, the risk of bronchopleural fistula increases with resection for inflammatory diseases, especially Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using double pedicled intercostal muscle flaps with dual blood supply to buttress the bronchial stump after pneumonectomy for tuberculous lesions as a prophylactic new technique from post-pneumonectomy BPF. Methods: Between 2007 and 2011, 47 patients with pneumonectomy for post tuberculous lesions in the department of cardiothoracic surgery, Zagazig University Hospital were divided into two groups. Group A: 28 patients with single pedicled intercostal muscle flap used and applied on the bronchial stump after pneumonectomy. Group B: 19 patients with double pedicled intercostal muscle flaps used and applied on the bronchial stump. The mean age of the patients was 42.9 years (range 27 - 67 years) in Group A, 44.8 years (range 36 - 71 years) in Group B. Results: Bleeding in one patient in Group A (3.5%) and two patients in Group B (10.5%);empyema in two patients (7.1%) in Group A only one of them developed bronchopleural fistula;arrhythmias in one patients (3.5%) in Group A and one patient in Group B (5.2%);chylothorax in one patients (3.5%);Chronic chest pain in one patient in Group A (3.5%) and two patients in Group B (10.5%). The mean follow up period was 32.7 ± 12.9 months (range between 3 and 48 months). All patients remained symptom free with no evidence of late bronchopleural fistula in Group B. Conclusions: Double pedicled intercostal muscle flaps with dual blood supply buttressing the bronchial stump is new prophylactic technique from BPF after pneumonectomy for pulmonary tuberculous lesions in high risk patients.

Severe Mediastinal Emphysema and Tension Pneumothorax Caused by Cough-Induced Intercostal Lung Herniation

We report a case of cough-induced intercostal lung herniation with severe mediastinal emphysema and pneumothorax. A 60-year-old overweight man was admitted with dyspnea, chest pain, and chest wall bulging. Imaging confirmed left pneumothorax, fractures of the 8th to 10th ribs, and a defect in the 8th intercostal muscles. The presence of protrusion of lung parenchyma outside the intercostal space was unclear. Although the symptoms of tension pneumothorax disappeared after drainage, the subcutaneous emphysema was uncontrollable. Emergency surgery revealed lung injury near the 8th rib wedge not directly related to the rib fracture, and lung herniation was observed. We performed direct approximation of the ribs, and the lung parenchymal surface was encased by absorbable materials, avoiding infection risk. Although the lung herniation recurred 5 months later, the patient did not desire additional surgical repair. Non-absorbable materials should be considered for repair of lung herniation, excluding patients at high infection risk.

Nerve transfer helps repair brachial plexus injury by increasing cerebral cortical plasticity

In the treatment of brachial plexus injury, nerves that are functionally less important are transferred onto the distal ends of damaged crucial nerves to help recover neuromuscular function in the target region. For example, intercostal nerves are transferred onto axillary nerves, and accessory nerves are transferred onto suprascapular nerves, the phrenic nerve is transferred onto the musculocutaneous nerves, and the contralateral C7 nerve is transferred onto the median or radial nerves. Nerve transfer has become a major method for reconstructing the brachial plexus after avulsion injury. Many experiments have shown that nerve transfers for treatment of brachial plexus injury can help reconstruct cerebral cortical function and increase cortical plasticity. In this review article, we summarize the recent progress in the use of diverse nerve transfer methods for the repair of brachial plexus injury, and we discuss the impact of nerve transfer on cerebral cortical plasticity after brachial plexus injury.

Evaluation of nerve transfer options for treating total brachial plexus avulsion injury： a retrospective study of 73 participants

Despite recent great progress in diagnosis and microsurgical repair, the prognosis in total brachial plexus-avulsion injury remains unfavorable.Insufficient number of donors and unreasonable use of donor nerves might be key factors. To identify an optimal treatment strategy for this condition, we conducted a retrospective review. Seventy-three patients with total brachial plexus avulsion injury were followed up for an average of 7.3 years. Our analysis demonstrated no significant difference in elbow-flexion recovery between phrenic nerve-transfer （25 cases）, phrenic nerve-graft （19 cases）, intercostal nerve （17 cases）, or contralateral C7-transfer （12 cases） groups. Restoration of shoulder function was attempted through anterior accessory nerve （27 cases）, posterior accessory nerve （10 cases）, intercostal nerve （5 cases）, or accessory ＋ intercostal nerve transfer （31 cases）. Accessory nerve ＋ intercostal nerve transfer was the most effective method. A significantly greater amount of elbow extension was observed in patients with intercostal nerve transfer （25 cases） than in those with contralateral C7 transfer （10 cases）. Recovery of median nerve function was noticeably better for those who received entire contralateral C7 transfer （33 cases） than for those who received partial contralateral C7 transfer （40 cases）. Wrist and finger extension were reconstructed by intercostal nerve transfer （31 cases）. Overall, the recommended surgical treatment for total brachial plexus-avulsion injury is phrenic nerve transfer for elbow flexion, accessory nerve ＋ intercostal nerve transfer for shoulder function, intercostal nerves transfer for elbow extension, entire contralateral C7 transfer for median nerve function, and intercostal nerve transfer for finger extension. The trial was registered at Clinical-Trials.gov （identifier： NCT03166033）.

Endogenous automatic nerve discharge promotes nerve repair: an optimized animal model

Exogenous electrical nerve stimulation has been reported to promote nerve regeneration. Our previous study has suggested that endogenous automatic nerve discharge of the phrenic nerve and intercostal nerve has a positive effect on nerve regeneration at 1 month postoperatively, but a negative effect at 2 months postoperatively, which may be caused by scar compression. In this study, we designed four different rat models to avoid the negative effect from scar compression. The control group received musculocutaneous nerve cut and repair. The other three groups were subjected to side-to-side transfer of either the phrenic(phrenic nerve group), intercostal(intercostal nerve group) or thoracodorsal nerves(thoracic dorsal nerve group), with sural nerve autograft distal to the anastomosis site. Musculocutaneous nerve regeneration was assessed by electrophysiology of the musculocutaneous nerve, muscle tension, muscle wet weight, maximum cross-sectional area of biceps, and myelinated fiber numbers of the proximal and distal ends of the anastomosis site of the musculocutaneous nerve and the middle of the nerve graft. At 1 month postoperatively, compound muscle action potential amplitude of the biceps in the phrenic nerve group and the intercostal nerve group was statistically higher than that in the control group. The myelinated nerve fiber numbers in the distal end of the musculocutaneous nerve and nerve graft anastomosis in the phrenic nerve and the intercostal nerve groups were statistically higher than those in the control and thoracic dorsal nerve groups. The neural degeneration rate in the middle of the nerve graft in the thoracic dorsal nerve group was statistically higher than that in the phrenic nerve and the intercostal nerve groups. At 2 and 3 months postoperatively, no significant difference was detected between the groups in all the assessments. These findings confirm that the phrenic nerve and intercostal nerve have a positive effect on nerve regeneration at the early stage of recovery. This study established an optimized animal model in which suturing the nerve graft to the distal site of the musculocutaneous nerve anastomosis prevented the inhibition of recovery from scar compression.

HIGH-INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND FOR TREATMENT OF UNRESECTABLE TUMORS LOCATED IN THE WALLS OF CHEST AND ABDOMEN IN 10 PATIENTS

Objective: To present our results of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment in 10 patients with unresectable tumors involved in the walls of chest and abdomen. Methods: Tumors located in the walls of the chest and abdomen in 10 patients were treated by HIFU, including local recurrence of fibrosarcoma in 1 case and local invasion or metastases in 9 cases. All of the 10 patients had received anti-cancer treatments before HIFU, 3 patients were complicated with intercostal neuralgia. Results: Partial responses were obtained in 2 patients, minor response in 1 patient, stable disease in 4, progressive disease in 2 after HIFU treatments. All the intercostal neuralgia in 3 patients was disappeared after HIFU. Bone scan showed that site of rib metastasis before HIFU became normal after HIFU in one patient. Conclusion: Our preliminary results showed that HIFU could get good results for patients with malignant tumors located in the walls of chest and abdomen if they are focal tumors, even if they are complicated with rib metastasis.

A Novel Apprehension of the Primary Lung Meridian, Sinew Channel, Divergent Channel, Luo-Connecting Channel Acting as a Single Unit System to Serve Respiration Function Based on Modern Neurophysiology and Kinesiology

The TCM philosophy of a meridian and associated channels pertains to the specific function of one or more organs. We define the Lung Primary Meridian (LUM) together with the Lung Sinew (LUSC), Divergent (LUDC), Luo-connecting (LULCC) Channels as a system of routes plus some parts of the body (such as muscles) to fulfil respiration, as a main function under different situations. There is very limited information about the Lung associated channels in classical literature of TCM. With a clear focus on the function of respiration, we have carried out a detailed analysis of the biomedical consequence of stimulating the LUM, analysed the roles played by LUSC, LUDC, and LULCC. The updated LUM and LUDC include acupoints of other meridians, serving the same purpose of performing satisfactory respiration starting from checking the quality of the inflow through the nose. The LUSC includes the respiratory muscles (plus the associated connective tissues) extending to various parts of the body. The muscles of the limb (as part of the LUSC) embrace the nerves that provide routes for somatosensory reflexes and play the role of locomotion, providing voluntary respiration via the pectoralis muscles. The muscles of LUSC are bounded by stiff connective tissue layers, forming compartments, and are part of the pulley system for various body locomotions. Within a compartment, the interstitial fluid, blood, lymph flows must be potent to protect the associated nerves related to LUM;the healthy state of the LUSC also provides freedom of various types of locomotion. The LULCC exists because the vagus nerve has a part of it passing through the spinal cords all the way down to the sacrum domain, with exiting nerve innervating two-third of the large intestine. The crucial steps of our deductions are supported by experimental evidence based on modern neurophysiology and kinesiology. We discover that all the four channels stated above work as a unit system to allow respiration to be possible under various postures/conditions. The complexity of structures and processes is eased off by providing 29 figures and 13 tables for the relevant muscles and nerves. In addition to respiration, the Lung system in TCM context includes interaction of this system with the sweat gland and neuroendocrine system;such aspects will be left to another study.
