Multiple reports could show a reduced risk for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) compared with open treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate our twelve-year TEVAR experience for thoracic aortic aneurysms and compare these results with open repair. All patients who had received either open or endovascular surgery for a degenerative aortic aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta in our center were evaluated retrospectively. N = 53 TEVAR patients (1997-2008) were included and their course was compared with an open-surgery group of n = 24 patients (1992-2002). The percentage of symptomatic patients was 43% (TEVAR) and 42% (open surgery). Endovascular treatment resulted in a significantly reduced 30-day (5.7% versus 25% P = 0.02) and one-year mortality (19% versus 42% P = 0.05) in the entire cohort. Symptomatic patients benefited the most from TEVAR (30-day mortality: 9% versus 40%, P = 0.06; one-year mortality: 27% versus 70%, P = 0.049) whereas the survival of our asymptomatic patients was not significantly different (30-day mortality: 3% versus 14%, P = 0.22; one-year mortality: 13% versus 21%, P = 0.65). Lastly, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significantly improved survival after TEVAR (P = 0.05) and in particular for the symptomatic patients (P = 0.003). In conclusion, endovascular treatment for patients with degenerative thoracic aortic aneurysms has significant advantages over open surgery. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Assessment of endovascular stent-graft treatment for diseases of the descending thoracic aorta as a valid and effective alternative to surgery. METHODS: From March 1999 to August 2000, a total of 16 patients underwent deployment of endovascular stent-grafts in the descending thoracic aorta. Patients were divided into three groups according to the type of lesion. Group A (n=8) included five patients with atherosclerotic aneurysm and three with chronic post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm. Patients with acute post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm (n=3) and type B aortic dissection (n=5) were included in Groups B and C, respectively. All patients underwent 5-mm chest spiral angio-computerized tomography (CT) scan and angiography as preoperative assessment. The deployed stent-graft systems were Talent-Medtronic and Excluder-Gore. RESULTS: A total of 20 stent-grafts were placed. Two patients required deployment of two grafts, while three grafts were juxtaposed in a third patient in order to treat larger lesions. There was no mortality related to the procedure, although one patient (6.2%) died because of multiorgan failure 24h post-operatively. The placement of the graft was successful in all cases except one affected with type B dissection and characterized by a very large intimal flap, which was eventually fenestrated by graft guidewire. Therefore, an optimal sealing of the grafts was achieved in 15 patients. However, in one patient the descending aorta had to be surgically replaced because of the calcified pseudoaneurysm still compressing the trachea and left bronchus. Two patients required a left carotid-subclavian by-pass in order to achieve a sufficient neck for the proximal placement of the graft. No spinal cord injuries were observed. At the follow-up, performed with chest spiral angio-CT scan within 72 h and scheduled at 6 and 12 months and once a year, no stent-graft related complications have been detected. CONCLUSIONS: Endoluminal stent-graft treatment may represent a valid option in well-selected cases of descending thoracic aorta diseases. A longer follow-up in a larger series of patients is desirable to confirm these initial positive results. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: to report our initial experience with endovascular stent graft repair of a variety of thoracic aortic pathology. DESIGN: retrospective single center study. MATERIAL AND METHODS: between February 2000 and January 2002, endovascular stent graft repair was performed in 26 patients: traumatic aortic isthmus rupture (n=3), Type B dissection (n=11) and descending thoracic aortic aneurysm (n=12). The deployed stent graft systems were AneuRx-Medtronic (n=1), Talent-Medtronic (n=13) and Excluder-Gore (n=12). RESULTS: successful deployment of the stent grafts in the intended position was achieved in all patients. No hospital mortality neither paraplegia were observed. Late, non procedure related, death occurred in four patients (15%). Access artery complications with rupture of the iliac artery occurred in two patients and were managed by iliac-femoral bypass. The left subclavian artery was overstented in seven patients (27%). Only the first patient received a carotido-subclavian bypass. The mean maximal aortic diameter decreased significantly in patients treated for descending thoracic aneurysm. Only one patient had an endoleak type II after 6 months without enlargement of the aneurysm. Complete thrombosis of the thoracic false lumen occurred in all but one patient treated for Type B dissection 6 months postoperatively. Two patients underwent a consecutive stent graft placement, due to a large re-entry tear distal to the first stent graft. CONCLUSIONS: endovascular stent graft repair for Type B dissection, descending thoracic aneurysm and aortic isthmus rupture is a promising less-invasive alternative to surgical repair. Further studies are mandatory to determine its long-term efficacy. 相似文献

We present a patient affected by systemic hydatidosis with an unusual localization in the thoracic aorta. The pseudoaneurysm, which was treated 8 years ago with conventional surgery, was retreated with an endovascular procedure. The particular evolution of the pathology needed further endovascular intervention. Endovascular exclusion is not the final solution of the disease but protects against rupture of the vessel and systemic dissemination of the disease. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Vascular lesions involving the thoracic aorta are often life-threatening conditions that carry significant morbidity and mortality with traditional open surgical repair. Preliminary results suggest that endovascular therapy is an effective and possibly advantageous treatment for diseases of the descending thoracic aorta. METHODS: Between October 2000 and May 2004, 50 consecutive patients underwent endovascular stent-grafting of lesions involving the descending thoracic aorta. Attempted stent-graft deployment was performed electively in 39 patients and emergently in 11. The pathology of electively treated aortic lesions included degenerative/atherosclerotic aneurysms (n = 24), pseudoaneurysms (n = 11), aortic dissections (n = 2), and penetrating ulcers (n = 2). Emergently treated aortic lesions were for acute rupture due to infectious (mycotic) aneurysms (n = 4), atherosclerotic/degenerative aneurysms (n = 3), acute type B dissections (n = 2), and acute transections (n = 2). Devices used include Talent (n = 45), AneuRx aortic cuffs (n = 2), custom-fabricated Gianturco-Dacron grafts (n = 2), and a modified Cook-Zenith abdominal aortic graft (n = 1). Follow-up was performed at 1-month, 6-months, 1-year, and annually thereafter. RESULTS: Primary technical success, defined as successful deployment and exclusion of the lesion without evidence of type I or type III endoleak, was achieved in 48 (96%) of 50 patients. In one patient, the procedure was terminated due to inability to access the iliac vessels. In another patient, a type III endoleak was observed at the completion of the primary procedure that required deployment of an additional stent-graft component 2 months later. Of the 49 patients who received endografts, seven underwent secondary procedures to correct endoleaks, with five of these seven requiring the deployment of additional endovascular stent-graft components. Major complications included four in-hospital deaths, with three of these occurring in patients treated emergently. Additionally, respiratory failure (n = 6), multisystem organ failure (n = 2), cerebrovascular accident (n = 2), retroperitoneal hematoma (n = 2), acute renal insufficiency (n = 1), and pulmonary embolus (n = 1) were also observed. The overall endoleak rate was 20%, with five primary (< or = 30 days) and five secondary (> 30 days) endoleaks observed. Five of the endoleaks were treated with the deployment of one or more additional endovascular stent-graft components. Two of the endoleaks were treated with endovascular balloon remolding. Mean follow-up was 271 days. There were no aneurysm ruptures or aneurysm-related deaths. CONCLUSIONS: Endovascular treatment of vascular lesions involving the descending thoracic aorta can be safely performed with low morbidity in high-risk patients. Endovascular repair may become an attractive alternative for the treatment of a wide range of pathology along this vascular territory. 相似文献

Endovascular treatment of a tuberculous infected aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta: a word of caution 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

An infected aneurysm of the thoracic aorta due to mycobacterium tuberculosis is an unusual entity for which the classical treatment is antituberculosis chemotherapy and open-chest surgery. Recent improvements in endovascular treatments have led to their proposed use for infected aneurysms in patients for whom open surgery poses too high a risk. We report on a 68-year-old man with a tuberculous aortic aneurysm who had been treated with an endoprosthesis and antituberculosis chemotherapy. His clinical and radiological follow-up was uneventful and led to the discontinuation of pharmacological treatment after 16 months. However, a recurrence of the infection led to a fatal aortic rupture 4 months after discontinuation of therapy. 相似文献

AIM: The endoluminal stent-grafting represents an alternative to surgery in the treatment of lesions of the descending thoracic aorta. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the mid-term results of the Talent stent-graft in the different indications of aortic disease and the use of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in the diagnosis of complications. METHODS: Over a 3-year period, 23 patients with a high surgical risk and presenting a localized lesion of the descending thoracic aorta had an implantation of a Talent stent-graft. Indications were degenerative aneurysm (n=13), false aneurysm (n=7) and penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer (n=3). The feasibility of the endovascular treatment and sizing of the aorta and stent-grafts were determined pre-operatively by MRA and intraoperative angiography. Immediate and mid-term technical and clinical success were assessed by clinical and MRA follow-up. RESULTS: Endovascular treatment was completed successfully in all patients with no conversion to open repair. There was no intraoperative mortality. The mean operative time was 38+/-7 min. Primary success rate was 100%. We didn't have perioperative mortality. The mean follow-up period was 15+/-5 months. The survival rate was 97% (n=22). Regression of the aneurysmal size was observed in 70% (n=16). MRA diagnosed 3 over 4 postoperative endoleaks that were not diagnosed with the CT-scan, and did not interfere with the nitinol structure of the stent-graft. CONCLUSIONS: Endovascular treatment of the various localized diseases of the descending thoracic aorta is a promising, feasible, alternative technique to open surgery in well selected patients. MRA is well adapted to diagnose postoperative endoleaks. 相似文献

Open surgical repair has been considered the mainstay of therapy for thoracic aortic aneurysms, both elective and emergency procedures alike. Recent advances in endovascular technology have made endovascular stentgraft placement a therapeutic modality that is minimally invasive and potentially a safer treatment for aneurysmal disease of the descending thoracic aorta. Moreover, this technology may be appropriate for other diseases of the thoracic aorta, including traumatic disruptions and dissections. There appears to be an increase in the diagnosis, and therefore incidence, of these various thoracic aortic pathologies, owing both to improvement in imaging capabilities and longer life expectancies. In distinction to endovascular repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysms, the evolution of thoracic stentgrafts has progressed more slowly as there has yet to exist a clinically proven device after 10 years of clinical trials. However, the enthusiasm for this technology persists, for it may indeed hold the potential for the greatest patient benefit as conventional open surgical repair continues to offer serious morbidity and mortality rates. This paper reviews the current status of thoracic aortic stentgrafts, including recent clinical studies, device failures and refinements, and future directions. 相似文献

Heart-transplanted patients have a known higher incidence of aortic aneurysms. However, there is paucity of information regarding thoracic localisation in this clinical setting and of the endovascular option in such patients with chronically high level of immunosuppressive agents. We describe long-term follow-up of a 72-year-old man who developed an aneurysm of the descending part of the thoracic aorta 10 years after an orthotopic cardiac transplantation. Because of comorbid medical conditions, classical open-chest procedure could not be performed. An alternative treatment by endovascular repair was applied successfully and allowed a perfect exclusion of the aneurysm. Chronically high level of immunosuppressive agents seems not to be a contraindication to the endovascular option. Consequently, extended cardiovascular screening of heart-transplanted patients is desirable to facilitate early detection and elective endovascular repair. 相似文献

We report three cases of contained rupture of the descending thoracic aorta managed by endovascular stent grafting and discuss the possibility of managing this life-threatening complication in emergency, by endoluminal devices. Further experience is needed to specify the indications for aortic stenting in descendant thoracic aortic ruptures. 相似文献

Endovascular repair of the descending thoracic aorta: evidence for the change in clinical practice 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The purpose was to review outcome data following endovascular repair of the descending thoracic aorta from reports published between 1994 and 2004. To accomplish this task, 1,518 patients underwent endovascular repair for thoracic aortic disease; 810 thoracic aortic aneurysms, 500 type B thoracic aortic dissections, and 106 traumatic ruptures. The 30-day mortality rate was 5.5% and 6% for late postoperative deaths. The primary technical success rate was 97%, with only 15 patients requiring open conversion. Neurologic deficits occurred in 29 patients. In total, 118 endoleaks were reported; 29 were restented, and the remainder required surgical intervention. Graft infection occurred in 6 cases, and migrations were detected in 10. The conclusion reached is that endovascular repair of descending thoracic aortic disease is feasible and can be achieved with low rates of perioperative morbidity and mortality. As few long-term data exist on the durability of thoracic stent grafts, lifelong surveillance remains necessary. 相似文献

Stent graft repair in the aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta: a 4-year experience 总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23
BACKGROUND: Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) and type B aortic dissections (ADs) are relatively frequent, serious conditions that are often managed nonoperatively because of perceived poor outcome of standard surgical reconstruction. Recently developed stent graft techniques represent a more attractive, less invasive option. We sought to determine the technical feasibility and safety of endovascular repair in the thoracic aorta with a retrospective review of our experience with such an approach. METHODS: Forty-seven patients received thoracic stent graft implants during the 4-year period ending March 31, 2002. All patients signed an Institutional Review Board-approved informed consent. Thirty-one patients had TAAs, and 16 had ADs. Device design and implant strategy were on the basis of evaluation of morphology with angiography and computed tomographic scan. The procedures were done with fluoroscopic guidance, with local anesthesia in five cases, spinal anesthesia in 19 cases, and general anesthesia in 23 cases. Endovascular access was achieved with femoral cutdown in 41 cases and a temporary iliac conduit in six cases. A Talent patient-specific device, with 4-mm to 6-mm oversize, was used in all. Proximal endograft attachment was in the descending thoracic aorta in 16 cases, parasubclavian in 21 cases, and the suprasubclavian aorta in 10 cases. Eight patients had adjunctive cervical reconstruction to transpose or revascularize the left subclavian or left common carotid arteries, enabling more proximal endograft attachment in the aortic arch. RESULTS: Access failure occurred in one patient (2.1%). One patient (2.1%) died within 30 days of access-related iliac artery rupture. Another death occurred at 60 days from a ruptured thoracoabdominal aneurysm with type I endoleak. No instances of paraplegia, stroke, or surgical conversion were seen. Five patients (TAA) were found to have endoleak on 30-day computed tomographic scan. Repair of type I endoleak was undertaken in three cases at 1, 4, and 6 months. Eight patients (17%) had adverse events within the first 30 days. Length of follow-up ranged from 1 to 44 months, with a mean of 18 months. Two patients were lost to follow-up, and one withdrew from the study. Four additional mortalities were observed, none related to the endograft or aortic pathology. CONCLUSION: Stent graft repair of TAA and AD is feasible and can be achieved with technical success and relatively low rates of perioperative morbidity and mortality. The Talent customized design proved versatile in various morphologies. More information is needed on indications, clinical efficacy, and long-term results. 相似文献

Acute and chronic traumatic aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta: a 10-year experience with a single method of aortic shunting 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A 10-year experience in the surgical treatment of traumatic aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta is reviewed. This series included 40 patients equally divided into two groups. Group I comprised 20 acute ruptures and group II, 20 chronic traumatic aneurysms, all situated at the aortic isthmus. The surgical repair was performed in all patients with a single method of aortic shunting. A Gott aneurysm shunt was used as a temporary external bypass between the ascending and the descending aorta, giving priority to organ protection during aortic cross-clamping. The survival rate was 95% (38/40). The two deaths occurred in the acute group and were related to severe brain trauma present before surgery. The aortic cross-clamping time averaged 43 minutes. Regarding organ protection, no brain damage, no heart failure, no renal dysfunction, and no paraplegia occurred. These results emphasize the safety and the reliability of this shunting procedure. 相似文献

Six patients were operated on for aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta in 1983-1985 by use of simple cross-clamping and interposition of a Dacron tube graft without extracorporeal circulation. The aneurysm had ruptured in three cases. The patients' mean age was 69 years. Anesthesia and muscle relaxation were obtained by drugs with only minor myocardial depressant action. There was no postoperative mortality or morbidity. Five of the patients have been followed up for at least a year. Careful pharmacologic control of the blood pressure is essential during such surgery. Despite the smallness of the series, it indicates that simple cross-clamping and Dacron graft interposition can be used for treatment of aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta. 相似文献
