Open repair is still considered the reference standard for long-term repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). In contrast to endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), patients with open surgical repair of AAA are not routinely followed up with imaging. Although complications following EVAR are widely recognized and routinely identified on follow-up imaging, complications also do occur following open surgical repair. With frequent use of multi-slice computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA) in vascular patients, there is now improved recognition of the potential complications following open surgical repair. Many of these complications are increasingly being managed using endovascular techniques. The aim of this review is to illustrate a variety of potential complications that may occur following open surgical repair and to demonstrate their management using both surgical and endovascular techniques. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine how many patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are eligible for endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed computed tomography (CT) angiograms obtained between January 2002 and June 2003 in 182 patients with suspected AAA. Indication for surgical or endovascular treatment was based on clinical and radiological criteria. The percentage of patients eligible for EVAR was evaluated. RESULTS: Out of a total of 182 patients with suspected AAA studied by CT angiography, after combined radiological-surgical assessment, 130 were considered eligible for surgical or endovascular treatment (71.4%). EVAR was indicated in 51 patients (39.3%, group A) and surgical repair was indicated in 79 patients (60.7%, group B). The reasons for ineligibility for EVAR were the following: unfavourable anatomy of the proximal neck in 41 patients (51.9%), diameter of the aneurysm sac >7 cm in 13 patients (16.4%), markedly tortuous/dilated iliac axis in six patients (7.6%), age <65 years in 17 patients (21.5%) and patient refusal in two cases (2.5%). There were no statistically significant differences in aneurysm diameter (52.7+/-0.8 versus 49.8+/-1.2 mm, p=ns), patients' age (73.2+/-1.2 versus 70.6+/-2.02 years, p=ns) or proximal neck length (2.95+/-1 versus 3.03+/-1.2 cm, p=ns) between groups A and B. CONCLUSIONS: Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms through the placement of aortic stent-grafts has now become a viable alternative to open surgery. In recent years, the number of patients treated with EVAR has steadily risen as a result of increased physician experience, availability of new and more versatile devices and improvements in noninvasive imaging techniques. Unfavourable neck anatomy is the primary factor for exclusion from endovascular repair. 相似文献

This report presents 3 procedures with visceral “chimney stenting” in conjunction with an endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) device, known as chEVAS, for treatment of type 1a endoleak. It includes the first published chEVAS in a patient with previous fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR). Cases include an 80-year-old man 8 years after FEVAR for a juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA); an 85-year-old woman 9 months after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for a ruptured infrarenal AAA; and an 84-year-old woman 3 months after EVAR for a symptomatic infrarenal AAA. Technical success was achieved in all cases, with 1 postoperative death. The remaining 2 patients had no residual type 1a endoleak at 10 and 14 months respectively. 相似文献

Endovascular stent graft repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has undergone rapid developments since it was introduced in the early 1990s. Two main types of aortic stent grafts have been developed and are currently being used in clinical practice to deal with patients with complicated or unsuitable aneurysm necks, namely, suprarenal and fenestrated stent grafts. Helical computed tomography angiography has been widely recognized as the method of choice for both pre-operative planning and post-operative follow-up of endovascular repair (EVAR). In addition to 2D axial images, a number of 2D and 3D reconstructions are generated to provide additional information about imaging of the stent grafts in relation to the aortic aneurysm diameter and extent, encroachment of stent wires to the renal artery ostium and position of the fenestrated vessel stents. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of applications of EVAR of AAA and diagnostic applications of 2D and 3D image visualizations in the assessment of treatment outcomes of EVAR. Interference of stent wires with renal blood flow from the hemodynamic point of view will also be discussed, and future directions explored. 相似文献

Objectives
The percutaneous endovascular abdominal aortic repair (PEVAR) approach is a minimally invasive technique that has demonstrated clinical benefit over traditional surgical cut down associated with standard endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair (EVAR). The objective of our study was to evaluate the budget impact to a Canadian hospital of changing the technique for AAA repair from the EVAR approach to the PEVAR approach.Methods
We examined the budget impact of replacing the EVAR approach with the PEVAR approach in a Canadian hospital that performs 100 endovascular AAA repairs annually. The model incorporates the costs associated with surgery, length of stay, and postoperative complications occurring within 30 days.Results
The use of PEVAR in AAA repair is associated with increased access device costs when compared with the EVAR approach (CAD$1000 vs CAD$400). However, AAA repair completed with the PEVAR approach demonstrates reduced operating time (101 minutes vs 133 minutes), length of stay (2.2 days vs 3.5 days), time in the recovery room (174 minutes vs 193 minutes), and postoperative complications (6% vs 30%), which offset the increased device costs. The model establishes that switching to the PEVAR approach in a Canadian hospital performing 100 AAA repairs annually would result in a potential cost avoidance of CAD$245,120.Conclusions
A change in AAA repair technique from EVAR to PEVAR can be a cost-effective solution for Canadian hospitals. 相似文献6.

Retrospective radiologic and clinical midterm follow-up is reported for 10 patients with inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm (IAAA) after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). At a mean follow-up of 33 months, regression of the thickness of the perianeurysmal fibrosis (PAF) and decrease of aneurysmal sac diameter was observed in nine patients. Four EVAR-associated complications were observed: periinterventional dissection of femoral artery (n = 1), blue toe syndrome (n = 1), and stent-graft disconnection (n = 2). EVAR is the less invasive method of aneurysm exclusion in patients with IAAA with a comparable evolution of the PAF as reported after open repair. 相似文献

Despite the numerous stent-graft devices available, unsuitable anatomy is still the greatest exclusion criterion for endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair (EVAR). The present report describes an on-site preprocedural customization of a conventional Zenith stent-graft device just before the endovascular procedure that includes the creation of fenestrations and scallops as necessary for the patient's anatomy. Three patients with difficult anatomy in whom conventional AAA repair posed a high degree of risk were treated with customization of the stent-graft device to fit disparate renal arteries. A single fenestration for the left renal artery was made in two cases, and a single scallop was made in the other case to accommodate the superior mesenteric artery. Gold beads were used to mark the location of the fenestration and scallop. The three cases were successfully performed without perceptible endoleaks in the follow-up period, which ranged from 4 to 14 months. No procedure-related complications were detected; however, pneumonia developed in one patient 3 weeks after EVAR. The initial results with this technique are encouraging, and the role of EVAR can be significantly increased with the use of this customization technique when the interventionalist does not have access to the commercially available devices or when the waiting time is too prolonged to accommodate the patient's clinical situation. 相似文献

An 81-year-old male with previous open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair presented with asymptomatic large pseudoaneurysms at both ends of an open surgical tube graft. Endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) in combination with the iliac limbs of a standard endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) successfully excluded both pseudoaneurysms from circulation. We describe the combination of elements of EVAS and EVAR and have termed this endovascular aneurysm repair and sealing (EVARS). EVARS has the advantage of harnessing the benefits of endobag sealing in aortic necks unsuitable for standard EVAR whilst providing the security of accurate stent placement within short common iliac arteries. In conclusion, EVAS may be combined with standard endovascular iliac limbs and is a possible treatment option for pseudoaneurysm following open aneurysm repair. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To compare clinical outcomes of endovascular and open aortic repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) in young patients at low risk. It was hypothesized that endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) compares favorably with open aneurysm repair (OAR) in these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-five patients aged 65 years or younger with a low perioperative surgical risk profile underwent EVAR at a single institution between April 1994 and May 2007 (23 men; mean age, 62 years+/-2.8). A sex- and risk-matched control group of 25 consecutive patients aged 65 years or younger who underwent OAR was used as a control group (23 men; mean age, 59 years+/-3.9). Patient outcomes and complications were classified according to Society of Vascular Surgery/International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery reporting standards. RESULTS: Mean follow-up times were 7.1 years+/-3.2 after EVAR and 5.9 years+/-1.8 after OAR (P=.1020). Total complication rates were 20% after EVAR and 52% after OAR (P=.0378), and all complications were mild or moderate. Mean intensive care unit times were 0.2 days+/-0.4 after EVAR and 1.1 days+/-0.4 after OAR (P<.0001) and mean lengths of hospital stay were 2.3 days+/-1.0 after EVAR and 5.0 days+/-2.1 after OAR (P<.0001). Cumulative rates of long-term patient survival did not differ between EVAR and OAR (P=.144). No AAA-related deaths or aortoiliac ruptures occurred during follow-up for EVAR and OAR. In addition, no surgical conversions were necessary in EVAR recipients. Cumulative rates of freedom from secondary procedures were not significantly different between the EVAR and OAR groups (P=.418). Within a multivariable Cox proportional-hazards analysis adjusted for patient age, maximum AAA diameter, and cardiac risk score, all-cause mortality rates (odds ratio [OR], 0.125; 95% CI, 0.010-1.493; P=.100) and need for secondary procedures (OR, 5.014; 95% CI, 0.325-77.410; P=.537) were not different between EVAR and OAR. CONCLUSIONS: Results from this observational study indicate that EVAR offers a favorable alternative to OAR in young patients at low risk. 相似文献

There is a growing population of patients who have undergone endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) and thus there is an increasing likelihood that radiologists who are unfamiliar with this technique and its complications will have to report radiological investigations on one of these patients. The purpose of this review is to describe and illustrate the normal and abnormal radiological appearances after EVAR on plain radiography, ultrasound and CT. 相似文献

The catheter-based interventional therapy (endovascular aortic repair EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) has gained an established place in the spectrum of therapeutic options. The procedure is characterized by low peri-interventional morbidity and mortality. Multislice computed tomography (CT) has a dominant role in defining the correct indications and in selecting an appropriate stent graft prior to the intervention. The rate of acute conversions could be reduced from 2.9 % to 0?% in our own elective patient population since 2010. In our vascular centre the proportion of patients treated by EVAR was 39.5?% (102 out of 258). The procedure is used routinely in patients who have an increased risk for general anesthesia or open surgery due to concomitant diseases. It is also used in patients with a reduced local operability due to prior surgery, abdominal diseases or radiation therapy. Arterial closure devices allow a completely percutaneous approach in a certain group of patients. However, after EVAR a life-long surveillance is mandatory because delayed therapy failure has been described. In younger patients who do not have a higher risk open surgery is still an option. The paper describes techniques, results und complications of EVAR. 相似文献

The increase in the frequency of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and the widely accepted use of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) as a first-line treatment or as an alternative to conventional surgery make it necessary for radiologists to have thorough knowledge of the pre- and post-treatment findings. The high image quality provided by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) enables CT angiography to play a fundamental role in the study of AAA and in planning treatment. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Endovascular treatment of aortoiliac aneurysms near or involving the hypogastric artery (HGA) requires HGA occlusion before endografting to avoid retrograde filling of the aneurysm. The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical outcomes of bilateral HGA occlusion and determine if benefits gained by endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) outweigh the morbidity associated with the procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 1999 and 2004, 128 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) were treated with bifurcated endograft placement. Bilateral coverage or embolization of HGAs was performed in 14 patients (10.9%). Embolization was achieved by deployment of coils and coverage was accomplished by extending the endoprosthesis into the external iliac artery. Clinical follow-up and computed tomographic angiography were performed at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months and annually thereafter to detect potential aneurysm growth and endoleaks. RESULTS: During follow-up (range, 1-72 months), buttock claudication was noted in four patients (28.6%), including unilateral claudication in two and bilateral claudication in two. One patient experienced claudication longer than 12 months, which resolved within 18 months. De novo erectile dysfunction was seen in one patient, and pelvic ischemia was not found in any patient. There was no evidence of endoleak, aneurysm enlargement, or death associated with HGA occlusion. CONCLUSIONS: In our series, complications of bilateral HGA occlusion before EVAR were moderate and resolved over time. The benefits gained from EVAR outweigh the clinical problems caused by bilateral HGA occlusion, as there are no technical complications added to the EVAR procedure. 相似文献

PURPOSE: During endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair, larger aneurysms often present formidable anatomic challenges to the insertion of the delivery catheter and graft deployment. The authors sought to evaluate whether large-diameter aneurysms and those with short proximal aortic necks might be associated with a higher frequency of insertion-related and short-term complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From October 1999 to August 2000, 144 patients underwent elective endovascular graft placement for infrarenal AAA disease at the authors' institution. These patients were treated with use of the AneuRx bifurcated endoprosthesis. AAA size (maximum aneurysm diameter) and proximal aortic neck length were compared to estimated blood loss, operative time, accuracy of graft placement, presence of endoleak, intraoperative and postoperative complications (such as limb occlusion or vascular injury), length of hospital stay, and mortality. Statistical methods included correlation analysis and logistic regression. RESULTS: There were 121 men and 23 women whose aneurysms ranged in size from 3 cm to 9.8 cm (mean, 5.6 cm; 95% CI, 5.4-5.8 cm). Endograft insertion was successful in all cases. There were three deaths within 30 days (2.1%) and seven deaths overall (4.9%). There were 43 intraoperative complications (29.9%) in 31 patients (21.5%), most of them minor. Patients with major intraoperative complications had significantly longer procedure times than those without complications (337 vs. 149 min; P <.0001). In the postoperative period (within 30 days), 31 complications (21.5%) occurred in 28 patients (19.4%), again most of them minor. AAA size was unrelated in any way to the rate of complications, but short proximal aortic neck length was associated with more serious intraoperative and postoperative complications (P =.0404 and P =.0230, respectively), and decreased 30-day and overall survival (P =.0240 and P =.0152, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Endovascular repair of large AAAs can be challenging; however, the size of the AAA does not influence the rate of complications. A short proximal aortic neck is the only significant risk factor for more serious complications. 相似文献

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of endovascular stent grafts in the treatment of para-anastomotic aneurysms
(PAAs) as an alternative to high-risk open surgical repair. We identified all patients with previous open aortic aneurysm
repair who underwent infrarenal endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) at our institution from June 1998 to April 2007. Patient
demographics, previous surgery, and operative complications were recorded. One hundred forty-eight patients underwent EVAR
during the study period and 11 patients had previous aortic surgery. Of these 11 redo patients, the mean age was 62 years
at initial surgery and 71 years at EVAR. All patients were male. Initial open repair was for rupture in five (45%) patients.
The average time between initial and subsequent reintervention was 9 years. All patients were ASA Grade III or IV. Fifty-five
percent of the PAAs involved the iliac arteries, 36% the abdominal aorta, and 9% were aortoiliac. Ten patients had endovascular
stent-grafts inserted electively, and one patient presented with a contained leak. Aorto-uni-iliac stent-grafts were deployed
in seven patients, and bifurcated stent-grafts in four patients. A 100% successful deployment rate was achieved. Perioperative
mortality was not seen and one patient needed surgical reintervention to correct an endoleak. Endovascular repair of PAAs
is safe and feasible. It is a suitable alternative and has probably now become the treatment of choice in the management of
PAAs. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Open repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) still has a high associated mortality rate. The impact of the introduction of endovascular treatment on the early outcomes of ruptured AAAs was examined at a single institution. The suitability of acute endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in patients with ruptured AAAs was also assessed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective review was conducted in 39 consecutive patients treated for ruptured AAA from 2001 to 2004. The patients were divided into 15 who underwent open repair from 2001 to 2002 (group I) and 24 who were treated with open repair (n=13; 54%) or endovascular repair (n=11; 46%) from 2003 to 2004 (group II). Hospital charts and computed tomographic scans were reviewed to evaluate the feasibility of EVAR. RESULTS: Age, sex, and aneurysm size were similar between the two groups. The 30-day mortality rates were 53% in group I and 8% in group II (P=.003). Median procedure times were shorter in the patients who underwent EVAR. Intensive care unit stay and hospital stay were 22.0 days+/-29.6 and 29.7 days+/-33.8, respectively, in group I, and 5.6 days+/-4.4 and 16.1 days+/-10.9, respectively, in group II (P<.03). Eleven patients were found ineligible for EVAR as a result of an unsuitable neck (n=5) or iliac arteries (n=3) or both (n=3). No graft failure was detected during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: After introduction of acute EVAR, a total of 46% of patients with ruptured AAAs were treated with the procedure. Potentially, 54% of patients could have been suitable for EVAR. Endovascular stent-graft implantation has significantly improved outcomes in ruptured AAAs and may therefore be beneficial in the overall treatment strategy in these patients. 相似文献

We report our single center experience of renal function, hydronephrosis and changes in perianeurysmal fibrosis (PAF) after endovascular repair (EVAR) of inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms (IAAA). A total of 6 patients were treated for IAAA with EVAR and the technical success was 100%. During the follow-up period 5 patients showed regression of PAF and 1 patient showed minor progression of PAF on computed tomography scans. In 2 patients hydronephrosis was regressive postoperatively but no patients died within 30 days. There were no secondary complications to report and no secondary intervention was necessary. In the long-term course one patient exhibited complete regression of PAF. In appropriate cases EVAR is a safe method for aneurysm repair for IAAA. In patients with acute inflammation or hydronephrosis individual treatment concepts are required. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To evaluate contrast material-enhanced ultrasonography (US) for depiction of endoleaks after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (or endovascular aneurysm repair [EVAR]) in patients with aneurysm enlargement and no evidence of endoleak. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From November 1998 to February 2003, 112 patients underwent EVAR. At follow-up, duplex US and biphasic multi-detector row computed tomographic (CT) angiography were performed. In 10 patients (group A), evident aneurysm enlargement was observed, with no evidence of complications, at both CT angiography and duplex US. Group A patients, 10 men (mean age, 69.6 years +/- 10 [standard deviation]), underwent US after intravenous bolus injection of a second-generation contrast agent, with continuous low-mechanical index (0.01-0.04) real-time tissue harmonic imaging. Group B patients, 10 men (mean age, 71.3 years +/- 8.2) with aneurysm shrinkage and no evidence of complications, and group C patients, 10 men (mean age, 73.2 years +/- 6) with CT angiographic evidence of endoleak, underwent contrast-enhanced US. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was performed in groups A and C. Endoleak detection and characterization were assessed with imaging modalities used in groups A-C; at contrast-enhanced US, time of detection of endoleak, persistence of sac enhancement, and morphology of enhancement were evaluated. RESULTS: In group A, contrast-enhanced US depicted one type I, six type II, one type III, and two undefined endoleaks that were not detected at CT angiography. All leakages were characterized by slow and delayed echo enhancement detected at longer than 150 seconds after contrast agent administration. DSA results confirmed findings in all patients; percutaneous treatment was performed. In group B, contrast-enhanced US did not show echo enhancement; in group C, results with this modality confirmed findings at CT angiography and DSA. CONCLUSION: Contrast-enhanced US depicts endoleaks after EVAR, particularly when depiction fails with other imaging modalities. 相似文献
