Abstract

Introduction: No method alone
is enough to take the amputation decision in the lower extremity. Therefore, in
our study, the contribution of organ perfusion scintigraphy to the evaluation
of lower extremity perfusion was investigated.

Methods:  Our study was retrospectively designed and
investigated patients applying for evaluation before amputation, and with Tc-99m
sestamibi organ perfusion scintigraphy performed. The research included a total
of 21 patients (18 male, 3 female, mean age 67.2 ± 10.6 years). The patients
had OPS results and the results of other investigation methods (DUSG and CTA)
comparatively evaluated. Statistically the diagnostic value of OPS was compared
with the other investigation methods.

Results:  There was no statistically significant
difference between patients in both groups in terms of demographic data, risk
factors and accompanying diseases. Twenty-one patients had both OPS and DUSG
performed while only eleven patients had CTA performed. The results of the
evaluations found that 5 of the 21 patients had amputation performed. The
results were positive in all three tests of amputated patients.







Conclusion:  Considering that peripheral arterial disease
is a functional problem, it is understood that weighted morphological and
limited hemodynamic data are inadequate for clinical evaluation and therefore
physiological and functional examination methods are needed. For this reason,
OPS is a valuable nuclear medicine method that can be used additionally in
patients with amputation planned especially in the evaluation of lower extreme
perfusion.

Amputasyon planlanan hastaların ekstremite perfüzyonunun değerlendirilmesinde radyonüklid organ perfüzyon sintigrafisinin değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Giriş:
Alt
ekstremitelerin amputasyonuna  karar
vermede tek bir yöntem yeterli değildir. Bu nedenle, çalışmamızda, alt
ekstermite değerlendirilmesinde Organ Perfüzyon Sintigrafisinin(OPS) katkısı
araştırıldı.

Yöntem: Çalışmamız
retrospektif olarak düzenlenmiş olup kliniğimize Ortopedi Kliniği tarafından
amputasyon öncesi değerlendirme amaçlı başvuran ve Tc-99m sestamibi organ
perfüzyon sintigrafisi yapılmış hastalar incelendi. Araştırmaya total olarak 21
hasta (18 erkek ve 3 kadın, yaş ortalamaları 67,2 ± 10,6) dahil edildi.
Hastaların Tc-99m sestamibi Organ Perfüzyon Sintigrafisi sonuçları ile diğer
inceleme yöntemleri (Dopler USG ve BTAnjio) ile karşılık olarak
değerlendirildi. İstatiksel olarak OPS'nin tanı değeri diğer inceleme
yöntemleri ile karşılaştırıldı.

Bulgular: Her iki gruptaki
hastalar arasında demografik veriler, risk faktörleri ve eşlik eden hastalıklar
açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark yoktu. Yirmi bir hastaya hem OPS
hem de DUSG uygulanırken, sadece onbir hastada CTA yapıldı. Değerlendirmeler
sonucunda, 21 hastanın 5'inde amputasyon gerçekleştirildi. Ampute edilen
hastaların her üç testinde de sonuçlar pozitif saptandı.







Sonuç: Periferik arter
hastalığının fonksiyonel bir sorun olduğu göz önüne alınırsa ağırlıklı
morfolojik ve sınırlı hemodinamik verilerin klinik değerlendirme açısından
yetersiz olduğu ve bu nedenle de fizyolojik ve fonksiyonel inceleme
yöntemlerine ihtiyaç bulunduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Bu nedenle de OPS özellikte alt
ekstreme perfüzyonun değerlerlendirilmesinde özellikle amputasyon planlanan
hastalarda ilave olarak faydalanılabilecek değerli bir nükleer tıp yöntemidir.
