ASSOCIATED AORTIC RUPTURE-PELVIC FRACTURE

Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery (1992)

M. Gage Ochsner Andrew P. Hoffman Doreen DiPasquale Frederic J. Cole Grace S. Rozycki

Blunt trauma patients with pelvic fractures have been shown to have a two-fold to five-fold increased risk of aortic rupture compared with the overall blunt trauma population. A retrospective review was performed to determine whether the relationship between aortic rupture and pelvic fracture could be further delineated using a pelvic fracture classification based on mechanism of injury. Of 4,157 consecutive blunt trauma patients, 371 (8.9%) had pelvic fractures, 34 (0.8%) had ruptured thoracic aortas and 12 had both injuries. When pelvic fractures were classified according to vector of force, 10 of 12 (83%) aortic ruptures occurred in patients with an anterior-posterior compression fracture pattern, an incidence of aortic rupture eight times greater than that of the overall blunt trauma population. There was no increased incidence of aortic rupture among patients with any other pelvic fracture pattern. We conclude that the previously reported association between aortic rupture and pelvic fracture can be further specified to include, predominantly, those patients with an anterior-posterior compression fracture pattern.

An Unusual Occurrence of Endometriosis in the Right Groin: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Military Medicine (1991)

Allen O. Mitchell Andrew P. Hoffman Steven E. Swartz Bimal C. Ghosh

A case of endometriosis involving the superficial femoral lymphatic chain is presented. We feel that it is significant due to the rare location and the implications for diagnosis and therapy. It is our opinion that endometriosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of groin masses in menstruating women. A brief review of pertinent literature is also presented.

Methylene blue-aided cholangioscopy in patients with biliary strictures: feasibility and outcome analysis. Reply to Maetani

Endoscopy (2008)

Andrew P. Hoffman Markus F. Neurath

We read Professor Maetani’s letter and comments about our study [1] with great interest. Maetani also reported their previous experience with methylene blue in the bile duct [2]. In their study protocol, the bile duct was analyzed by percutaneous cholangioscopy. Differences in methylene blue staining properties between cancerous and noncancerous epithelia were noted. Furthermore, endoscopic findings were compared with data on frozen sections of epithelia. Their investigation revealed that microscopic staining properties were not always significantly associated with endoscopic observations. Whereas 18 of 20 (90 %) specimens of normal epithelia revealed positive staining with methylene blue, 11 out of 16 (69 %) specimens of metaplastic epithelia were stained, with no staining obtained in cancerous epithelia. The cancerous epithelia stained significantly less often than either the normal or the metaplastic epithelia.
