    Notes: Abstract. The aim of the study was to assess the diagnostic value of an intravascular Doppler guidewire in patients with peripheral percutaneous angioplasty (PTA). The prognostic value was also evaluated. Measurements were done prior and following angioplasty in 22 patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease. As additional therapy, stent insertion and peripheral (Aa. poplitea Ill/tibial) angioplasty was performed (4 patients per group). For stress testing, adenosinetriphosphate (ATP) was given intra-arterially. Follow-up was performed by angiography, colour-coded duplex ultrasound or judged by unequivocal clinical stage at follow-up to 13 months. Average (APV) and maximal peak velocity (MPV) increased following PTA, after additional treatment (peripheral PTA or stent), and after intra-arterial application of a vasodilator. Patients with peripheral lesions had markedly lower velocities prior treatment and following PTA after vasodilatation. Following peripheral PTA, the values were similar to the patients with PTA alone. Velocities after stenting were markedly increased in the stress condition. Of the 22 patients, 7 had a recurrent disease. The latter patients had higher velocities at rest prior to and following PTA. In stented lesions higher velocities seem to be linked with a worse outcome. The ratio between velocity prior to and after the application of the vasodilator seems to be of diagnostic importance. A ratio of 1.9 or more was of positive prognostic value. The Doppler guidewire is a practical and valuable tool in assessing technical success after angioplasty of peripheral lesions, critical or morphologically worse lesions. In our study the decision for stent application was made on the morphological image; however, increased velocity and changes in phasicity substantiated our decisions. Increased ratios prior to and after vasodilation (flow reserve) are of prognostic value and therefore suitable as indication for stent placement or tibial angioplasty.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung. Die Tumorinfiltration der V. portae bei duktalen Adenocarcinomen des Pankreaskopfes gilt klassischerweise als Inoperabilitätskriterium. Trotz operationstechnischer Fortschritte auf dem Gebiet der Pfortaderresektion im Rahmen von Whipple-Operationen mit akzeptaler Letalität und Morbidität kann eine Gefäßresektion bei Infiltration nicht prinzipiell empfohlen werden. Problematisch ist vor allem die präoperative Sicherung einer eventuell vorliegenden Gefäßinfiltration, häufig sieht sich der Chirurg erst intraoperativ mit der Situation einer makroskopischen Pfortaderinfiltration bzw. Tumoradhärenz konfrontiert. Im Zeitraum von 1986 bis 1995 wurde an unserer Klinik bei 105 Patienten mit duktalem Adenocarcinom des Pankreaskopfes eine Whipple-Operation vorgenommen. In 8 Fällen erfolgte bei makroskopischer Tumorinfiltration bzw. Tumoradhärenz und unauffälliger präoperativer Diagnostik mittels indirekter Portographie und CT eine partielle Pfortaderresektion. In 4 der 8 Fälle fand sich eine tatsächliche, histologisch nachweisbare Infiltration der V. portae bis in die inneren Gefäßwandschichten, während die übrigen Fälle keine bzw. lediglich eine Adventitiainfiltration zeigten. Die Patienten ohne histologischen Nachweis einer tatsächlichen Gefäßinfiltration wiesen eine deutlich längere Überlebenszeit (27,75 Monate) gegenüber den Patienten mit histologischer Tumorinvasion in die V. portae (6,67 Monate) auf. Neuere Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, daß der endovasculäre, intraportale Ultraschall (IPEUS) einen deutlichen Informationsgewinn bezüglich der Frage einer vorliegenden Pfortaderinfiltration bieten kann. Auch wenn diese Untersuchung derzeit nicht als Standarddiagnostik gelten kann, so besteht die Möglichkeit, bei entsprechender Indikation hierdurch mit hoher Sensitivität und Spezifität eine tatsächliche Gefäßinfiltration zu erkennen. Kann mittels endovasculärem Ultraschall eine Tumorinfiltration in die V. portae ausgeschlossen werden, so zeigen unsere Ergebnisse, daß Patienten mit makroskopischer Tumoradhärenz tatsächlich von einer partiellen Pfortaderresektion profitieren.
    Notes: Abstract. Tumor invasion of the portal vein by ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head is classically known as a criterion for inoperability. Despite improvement in operation techniques for portal vein resection during Whipple's procedure and acceptable mortality and morbidity, in the case of uncertain tumor infiltration vascular resection cannot be recommended in general. The problem is the preoperative detection of tumor infiltration of the portal vein. Often the surgeon is confronted with unsuspected macroscopic portal vein infiltration or tumor adhesion during the operation. Between 1986 and 1995 105 patients underwent Whipple's procedure for ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head in our department. In eight of these cases partial portal vein resection was performed because of macroscopic tumor infiltration or tumor adhesion. In all eight cases the preoperative diagnostic procedures with CT and portography did not show any suspicion of tumor infiltration. In four of the eight cases histological tumor infiltration of all vascular layers was found. In the others we found no or only adventitial tumor invasion. The patients without tumor infiltration of the portal vein showed a survival time after surgery of 27.78 months in contrast to 6.67 months in the group with histologically proven tumor infiltration. Endovascular, intraportal ultrasound (IPEUS), a new diagnostic procedure, can give helpful information regarding portal vein involvement. Although the IPEUS is not a standard diagnostic procedure it was shown to detect portal vein infiltration with high sensitivity and specificity. Our results indicate that in such cases where portal vein infiltration has been excluded by IPEUS, patients with macroscopic tumor adhesion do benefit from partial portal vein resection.
