    The Effect of Endovascular Revascularization of Common Iliac Artery Occlusions on Erectile Function
    (Springer, 2013) Gur, Serkan; Ozkan, Ugur; Onder, Hakan; Tekbas, Guven; Oguzkurt, Levent
    To determine the incidence of erectile dysfunction in patients with common iliac artery (CIA) occlusive disease and the effect of revascularization on erectile function using the sexual health inventory for males (SHIM) questionnaire. All patients (35 men; mean age 57 +/- A 5 years; range 42-67 years) were asked to recall their sexual function before and 1 month after iliac recanalization. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine variables effecting improvement of impotence. The incidence of impotence in patients with CIA occlusion was 74% (26 of 35) preoperatively. Overall 16 (46%) of 35 patients reported improved erectile function after iliac recanalization. The rate of improvement of impotence was 61.5% (16 of 26 impotent patients). Sixteen patients (46%), including seven with normal erectile function before the procedure, had no change. Three patients (8%) reported deterioration of their sexual function, two of whom (6%) had normal erectile function before the procedure. The median SHIM score increased from 14 (range 4-25) before the procedure to 20 (range 1-25) after the procedure (P = 0.005). The type of recanalization, the age of the patients, and the length of occlusion were related to erectile function improvement in univariate analysis. However, these factors were not independent factors for improvement of erectile dysfunction in multivariate analysis (P > 0.05). Endovascular recanalization of CIA occlusions clearly improves sexual function. More than half of the patients with erectile dysfunction who underwent endovascular recanalization of the CIA experienced improvement.

    Endovascular Treatment of Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Lesions With or Without Common Iliac Artery Involvement
    (Springer, 2013) Onder, Hakan; Oguzkurt, Levent; Gur, Serkan; Tekbas, Guven; Gurel, Kamil; Coskun, Isa; Ozkan, Ugur
    To evaluate the results of stent placement for obstructive atherosclerotic aortic disease with or without involvement of the common iliac artery. Forty patients had self-expanding stents primarily or after balloon dilatation in the abdominal aorta between January 2005 and May 2011. All patients had trouble walking. Follow-up examinations were performed with clinical visits; these included color Doppler ultrasonography and computed tomographic angiography. Technical, clinical, and hemodynamic success was achieved in all patients. None of the patients underwent reintervention during the follow-up period, which ranged from 3 months to 6 years (median 24 months). Nine complications occurred in six patients. Of the nine complications, four were distal thromboembolisms, which were successfully treated with catheter-directed thrombolysis or anticoagulation therapy. Endovascular treatment of the obstructive aortic disease using self-expanding stents was safe and effective, with high technical success and long-term patency. Thromboembolic complications were high even though direct stenting was considered protective for thromboembolism formation. Particularly for infrarenal aortic stenosis, it can be recommended as the first-line treatment option for patients with obstructive atherosclerotic aortic disease.

    Endovascular treatment of surgically implanted arterial graft thrombosis by using manual aspiration thrombectomy
    (Turkish Soc Radiology, 2013) Onder, Hakan; Oguzkurt, Levent; Ozkan, Ugur; Gurel, Kamil; Gur, Serkan; Andic, Cagatay; Tekbas, Guven
    The purpose of this study was to present our experience with guiding catheters in manual aspiration thrombectomy of occluded infra-aortic bypass grafts. This material was designed as a guiding catheter but was also used for thrombus aspiration. Six consecutive patients (all male; mean age, 61.0 +/- 5.7 years; range, 54-68 years) who underwent manual aspiration thrombectomy at the discretion of the operator for infra-aortic bypass graft thrombosis between 2002 and 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. The angiographic success described as either stenosis or residual thrombus less than 30% was 67%. Primary patency was 50%, and secondary patency was 66.7%. Additional stents were needed in four lesions of three patients. Manual aspiration thrombectomy is intended to remove both soft acute blood clots and hard organized embolic and thrombotic obstructions. Manual aspiration thrombectomy appears to be a safe and effective method for treating delayed graft thrombosis. This method provides an alternative to surgical thrombectomy, especially for patients who are not good candidates for the surgery.

    Is unilateral breast enlargement always a sign of cancer?
    (Wiley, 2011) Tekbas, Guven; Oguzkurt, Levent; Gurel, Kamil; Ozkan, Ugur; Gur, Serkan; Onder, Hakan
    Breast swelling is caused by many etiological factors, but should alert central vein occlusion in hemodialysis patients when the permanent vascular access is in the same arm. The swelling of the breast is caused by venous hypertension in the venous plexus draining the breast. Endovascular treatment relieves venous hypertension and related clinical signs. Additional diagnostic workup or invasive interventions such as a biopsy should be avoided in such patients, as diagnosis is straightforward with the presence of a functioning arteriovenous fistula in the same arm.

    US-guided percutaneous thrombin injection of postcatheterization pseudoaneurysms
    (Turkish Soc Radiology, 2012) Gurel, Kamil; Gur, Serkan; Ozkan, Ugur; Tekbas, Guven; Onder, Hakan; Oguzkurt, Levent
    PURPOSE This study retrospectively evaluated ultrasonography-guided (US-guided) percutaneous thrombin injection for the treatment of postcatheterization femoral and brachial artery pseudoaneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-five patients with postcatheterization femoral artery (n=53) or brachial artery (n=2) pseudoaneurysms were treated using US-guided human thrombin (500 IU/mL) injection. Pseudoaneurysm size, thrombin dose, therapy outcome, and complications were documented. Follow-up color Doppler US was performed 7 and 30 days after treatment. Short-duration supplemental compression was applied to six patients at the first week follow-up examination after a reinjection of thrombin had failed. RESULTS Mean pseudoaneurysm volume was 20.3 +/- 18.7 cm(3). The mean injected thrombin dose was 478 +/- 238 IU. Thirty-eight (69.1%) of the 55 pseudoaneurysms were thrombosed with a single injection, and 11 of 17 pseudoaneurysms were thrombosed after a second injection. All (100%) of the 41 pseudoaneurysms that were diagnosed within the first two weeks of postcatheterization were successfully treated. The overall primary success rate was 89.1% (49 of 55 pseudoaneurysms). Supplemental compression promoted thrombosis in four of the six patients who had treatment failure with thrombin injection. The secondary success rate was 96.4% (53 of 55 pseudoaneurysms). There were no complications. CONCLUSION US-guided thrombin injection was most successful within the first two weeks, and the supplemental compression might aid in the closure of partially thrombosed pseudoaneurysms.
