Характеристика исследования
- Дизайн
- single-patient case report (25-year-old male, human bite injury, Stanford University Medical Center)
- Размер выборки (n)
- 1
- Вмешательство
- Subtotal ear replantation with end-to-end arterio-venous anastomosis (arterialization of venous system) without vein grafts; postoperative leech therapy for venous drainage
- Компаратор
- Conventional arterial-venous anastomotic patterns
- Первичная конечная точка
- Ear survival with non-conventional perfusion pattern
- Основной результат
- Successful ear survival with arterialization of venous system; postoperative leech therapy provided venous drainage; discharged after 14 days; reportedly first case of subtotal ear amputation successfully replanted by arterialization of venous system
- Длительность наблюдения
- Postoperative discharge at 14 days
- PMID
- 25116223
Ключевые выводы
- First reported successful ear replant via venous system arterialization
- End-to-end arterio-venous anastomosis without vein grafts
- Postoperative leech therapy enabled unconventional perfusion
- 14-day hospitalization to discharge
- Preserves superficial temporal vessels for future use
Ограничения
- Single case - hypothesis-generating only
- Cannot generalize unconventional approach
- Limited long-term aesthetic data
- Patient selection criteria for venous arterialization unclear
- Human bite mechanism may limit comparison to other amputations
Клиническое значение
Momeni 2014 demonstrates how reliable leech-mediated venous drainage support enables surgical innovation - specifically, unconventional venous system arterialization in ear replantation. For US clinicians under K040187, this case illustrates the device's enabling role for technical innovation in challenging anatomic scenarios where conventional vein grafting is not feasible.
