The aim of this study is to describe the characteristics, the management and the outcome of a series of patients with no-option critical limb ischemia (CLI) treated with a conservative multidisciplinary combined approach including best wound care, NPWT and dermal substitutes. The primary end was limb salvage and 1-year amputation-free survival. The secondary end was mortality and healing time of lesion. Between January 2016 and January 2021, 76 patients with no options CLI were admitted. In 14 patients, there was a failure in distal revascularization with a persistent CLI after the procedure. In 58 patients, revascularization was not feasible. Despite the persistent CLI, a group of patients of this cohort obtained no progression of CLI, complete wound healing treated with surgical debridement or distal amputation and application of NPWT in association with dermal substitute .Any superimposed infection was treated with antimicrobials. Pain was controlled with analgesics. Overall limb was saved in 72 % of the cases. A 1-year survival was 84%.Use of NPWT, dermal substitutes combined with a conservative foot surgery with an approach with minor amputation in patients with no-option CLI may save patient limb and life

Aims: To investigate the outcome of Cholecystostomy drains in the management of Acute Cholecystitis at Cumberland Infirmary. To develop a Cholecystostomy Pathway for patient selection, management and post procedure management. Method: A retrospective study of all patients with Cholecystostomy drains over the last 3 years at Cumberland Infirmary. 58 Inpatients at Cumberland Infirmary and West Cumberland Hospital who had cholecystostomy drains inserted for Acute Cholecystitis from January 2019 to January 2022 were included in the study. The patient list was collected from the Information Department at Cumberland Infirmary, with the Cholecystostomy code J 24.1 used in the search. Results: CRP ranged from 10-450 (mean 200) pre-insertion and on 5th post-procedure day, 37(63.79%) patients had a CRP of less than 50. Similar trends have been observed with the WBC counts. Follow-up investigations post drain insertion varied between CT abdomen, ultrasound abdomen and tubogram. The overall morality in the study group was 8(13.79%). Non of the mortalities were Cholecystostomy related. Reported over all complications were 2 (3.44%) which were sub-phrenic abscess and Cholo-Cutaneous fistula. Conclusion: We conclude that Insertion of a Cholecystostomy drain is a useful and safe procedure for the management of Severe Cholecystitis, especially in critically ill patients, with good early and late outcomes, and a low mortality rate. It can be used as a temporary management option with plan for Interval Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, or can be the Definitive Management, especially in those patients with High Operative Risk

Introduction: Venous-thromboembolism is common vascular disease affecting lower limbs composed of DVT (2/3 of VTE) and PE (1/3 of VTE). The goal of management of DVT is to prevent PE, recurrence or PTS .Anticoagulation was the cornerstone of DVT management to prevent PE or recurrent DVT. Aim: To review our experience and assess efficacy of EKOS® thrombolysis in management of ilio-femoral DVT at Cumberland infirmary focusing on clinical outcome and any post procedure complications. Results: 22 patients had thrombolysis for illiofemoral DVT over 7years in Cumberland infirmary (Females 16 Males 5). Median age 20-89 years. Total number of treatment Sessions; 1 session: 18.18% (n=4), 2 Session: 54.54% (n=12), 3 sessions: 22.73% (n=5), 4 sessions: 04.55% (n=1). Success rate more than 80%: 90.91.7 % (n=20). Further procedures needed, Stents placement %77.27 (n=17), angioplasty 36.36% (n=8). Outcome; Improvement of symptoms in 90.91% % (n=20) leg ulcer healed in 9.52% (n=2). Post procedure complications: Leg swelling 28.6% (n=6) all are short terms resolved within six weeks and just one long standing leg swelling. Post procedure leg pain is in 19.04% (n=4). Ongoing issues were in 9.52% (n=2) and were persistent leg ulcer and PTS in each. One patient had recurrence. No patient had PE/ intracranial bleeding. Conclusion: EKOS is effective in treating acute ilio-femoral DVT with patency at 80% and more at the cessation of treatment, as well as prevention of DVT related long term complication (recurrence-PE and PTS) in comparison of conventional CDT or anticoagulation alone.
