Endovascular repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms is currently widely diffuse. Imaging plays a major role in the preprocedural patient evaluation, implantation of stent-graft, and patient follow-up. The aim of this paper is to describe the more frequent findings that can be seen in CT examinations after endovascular repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. We discuss CT findings related to the aneurysm (size, exclusion with complete perigraft thrombosis, back-filling of aneurysm sac via branch vessels) and to the device (dislocation, rotation, kinking, device expansion, patency/thrombosis, device disruption). We also show some examples of incorrect assembly of the modular components of the stent-graft. 相似文献

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

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

PURPOSE: This paper describes the different endovascular treatments (cuffs, endografts and embolisation) available for types I, II and III endoleaks occurring after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January 2000 to June 2006, 134 patients (118 men, 16 women; mean age 75.1 years) underwent EVAR. Ten patients (7%) developed significant endoleaks requiring endovascular treatment. RESULTS: Five endoleaks were type I, two were type II and three were type III. Of the five type I endoleaks, four were proximal and one was distal. The proximal endoleaks were treated by cuff deployment, whereas the distal endoleak was treated with a bifurcated graft. Of the two patients with type II endoleak, one was treated by translumbar puncture and coil embolisation, and the other was treated by superselective embolisation of the lumbar feeding vessel with nonresorbable particles. Of the three patients with type III endoleak, two were treated by deploying an aortouniiliac endograft inside the bifurcated graft and the other by implanting a cuff to restore continuity between the graft body and the contralateral limb. Endovascular treatment was successful in 6/10 cases, whereas three cases required surgical conversion. One patient did not undergo surgery owing to poor general condition. CONCLUSIONS: The reported incidence of endoleaks after EVAR is 10%-20%. Significant endoleaks should be treated promptly. Endovascular treatment can be done with different techniques, but success in not constant due to adverse anatomical conditions and technical difficulties. 相似文献

Endovascular repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm: feasibility and impact on early outcome 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

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

PURPOSE: Endoleak is a potential complication after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). It may result in continued growth of the aneurysm and potentially result in aneurysm rupture. The authors present their experience with embolotherapy in patients with persistent perigraft flow treated with the Ancure-Endovascular Technologies endograft system. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between February 1996 and August 1998, 54 patients underwent successful repair of AAA with use of the Ancure system. All underwent operative angiography and discharge computed tomography (CT). Follow-up included CT at 6, 12, and 24 months, and CT was also performed at 3 months if an endoleak was present on the discharge CT. Persistent endoleak was defined as perigraft flow still present on the 6-month CT. Seven of 21 initial endoleaks persisted at 6 months. Six patients returned for embolization of the perigraft space and outflow vessels including lumbar arteries and the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). RESULTS: Five of the six patients had leaks from the proximal (n = 1) or distal attachment sites (n = 4) of the Ancure system with outflow into lumbar arteries and/or the IMA; one leak was caused by retrograde IMA flow. The six patients underwent nine embolization procedures with only one minor complication. Follow-up CT showed complete resolution of endoleak and decrease in size of the aneurysm sac in all patients. CONCLUSIONS: Although endoleak is commonly seen initially with the Ancure system, persistent leak occurred in 13% of the patients in the study. Persistent flow in most patients arises from a graft attachment site combined with patent outflow vessels such as the IMA or lumbar arteries. Persistent endoleaks can be effectively and safely embolized with use of a combination of coil embolization of the perigraft space and embolization of outflow vessels. Such intervention resulted in a decrease in size of the aneurysm sac. 相似文献

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common degenerative condition affecting the elderly population. Rupture carries a high overall mortality. Elective endovascular stent graft repair is well described. We describe a patient with ruptured AAA and co-morbid conditions making him unfit for surgery and general or epidural anaesthesia, who was successfully treated by endovascular stent graft under local anaesthesia. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The authors report their experience with treatment of iliac limb complications in patients treated with the Ancure endograft with Wallstents to provide additional support and thrombolysis when needed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From February 1996 to October 1999, 88 patients were treated for abdominal aortic aneurysm with use of the Ancure endograft. Of the 88 devices used, 20 were tube grafts and the remaining 68 devices had a total of 130 iliac limbs (bifurcated, n = 62; aortoiliac, n = 6). After graft deployment, all patients underwent intraoperative aortography; since July 1997, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has also been used. RESULTS: Thirty-one patients (46%) required treatment of 47 (36%) limbs with Wallstents. Graft narrowing was observed in 41 limbs (27 patients) with IVUS immediately after graft deployment. All were successfully treated with placement of Wallstents. Before routine use of intraoperative IVUS, three patients presented between 2 and 6 weeks postoperatively with iliac limb thrombosis. All three limbs were successfully treated with thrombolysis and Wallstent placement to correct the underlying iliac problem. Additionally, two contralateral limbs in these three patients were also noted to have stenosis and were treated with use of Wallstents. The last patient required placement of a Wallstent to treat stenosis of surgical anastomosis of the iliac limb of an aortoiliac endograft at 3 days. All Wallstent-reinforced Ancure endografts remained patent from 1 to 36 months (mean, 14 months). CONCLUSION: After placement of an Ancure bifurcated or aortoiliac endograft, iliac limb stenosis is easily detected with use of intraoperative IVUS. Such complications can be safely corrected with Wallstent placement. Postoperative limb occlusion at the authors' institution has been eliminated with such intervention. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) is an appealing alternative to computed tomography angiography (CTA) for the follow-up of patients who underwent endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). We sought to evaluate the accuracy of CEUS compared with a particularly tailored protocol of CTA performed with a 64-row multidetector CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study prospectively enrolled 88 consecutive patients for CEUS and CTA imaging during follow-up after EVAR, yielding 142 paired examinations. The outcome is represented by three main goals: identification and characterisation of endoleaks, evaluation of graft patency and measurement of aneurysm diameter. Triple-phase CTA was the gold standard. RESULTS: Sensitivity and specificity of CEUS compared with CTA in endoleak and graft patency evaluation were 91.89% and 100% and 72% and 100%, respectively. A very high correlation between CTA and CEUS diameter measurements was established. CEUS did not appear superior to CTA in endoleak detection, probably because a tailored CTA protocol with a delayed phase (180 s) allows detection of low-flow endoleaks. CONCLUSIONS: Patient management was not different stafollowing CEUS and CTA results. CTA cannot yet be completely replaced, but several limitations (radiation exposure, contrast agent) encourage redefining the routine follow-up imaging modality. We suggest an algorithm of surveillance alternating CTA and CEUS. 相似文献

Tc-99m sulfur colloid scintigraphy for detecting perigraft flow following endovascular aortic aneurysm repair: A feasibility study 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
David M. Hovsepian M.D. Barry A. Siegel George Kimbiris Gregorio A. Sicard Brent T. Allen Daniel Picus 《Cardiovascular and interventional radiology》1999,22(6):447-451
Purpose: To determine if scintigraphy with Tc-99m sulfur colloid can be used to detect perigraft flow after stent-graft repair of
abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
Methods: Twenty-three men and two women aged 56–84 years (mean 71 years) underwent endoluminal AAA repair as part of the EVT Phase
II trial [EVT = Endovascular Technologies (Menlo Park, CA, USA)]. Aneurysm size averaged 5.4 cm (range 3–8 cm). Sixteen bifurcated,
seven tube, and two aorto-uniiliac grafts were placed. Two days after stent-graft placement, patients underwent both contrast-enhanced
computed tomography (CT), including delayed views, and Tc-99m sulfur colloid scintigraphy.
Results: Perigraft flow was found in only one patient at completion of angiography. Four additional patients had perigraft flow, discovered
during their postoperative follow-up CT. Four patients had leaks at an attachment site and one had retrograde branch flow.
Tc-99m sulfur colloid scintigraphy failed to diagnose any of the five leaks prospectively. In two of these patients, however,
some abnormal paraaortic activity was noted in retrospect.
Conclusion: Tc-99m sulfur colloid scintigraphy was unable to demonstrate endoleak with either rapid flow (attachment site leak) or slow
filling (branch flow). 相似文献

Purpose
To analyze the hazard and causes of death after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms during a complete ten year follow-up.Methods
This is a retrospective clinical study of 130 consecutive patients undergoing EVAR between 1995 and 1998. One-hundred twenty-one patients (93.1%) were treated with first-generation stentgrafts and nine patients (6.9%) received second-generation devices. All patients completed a follow-up of at least 10 years, unless death occurred before then. Time and causes of death were provided by the Austrian central register of deaths.Results
The median follow-up was 7.6 years, and the 130 patients had 968.5 person-years of follow-up. The ten-year mortality rate was 62.3%. Cardiovascular events were the most frequent causes of death, with a 3.9 incidence rate per 100 person-years. Cancer death and death due to other causes occurred in 2.1 and 1.8 cases per 100 person-years, respectively. Lethal late aneurysm rupture happened in 4.6% (n = 6), which corresponds to an annual incidence rate of 0.6 per 100 person-years. All of those patients had been treated with first-generation devices.Conclusions
Cardiovascular events were the most frequent cause of death after EVAR, followed by malignancy and other diseases. The risk of dying from secondary rupture was clearly lower than that of death due to other reasons during ten years after EVAR, even in patients with first-generation stentgrafts. 相似文献20.
Since the Food and Drug Administration approved the Ancure (Guidant Corp, Menlo Park, CA) and AneuRx (Medtronic Corp, Minneapolis, MN) abdominal aortic aneurysm stent-grafts, there has been a tremendous increase in the number of stent-graft implantations, both in the United States and worldwide. Successful stent-graft deployment requires complex interventional skills and accurate preprocedure planning. Even the most skilled operator may experience intraoperative difficulties during graft deployment. There are intraprocedural complications that are common to all stent-grafts, as well as specific complications that are unique to the particular stent-graft being implanted. The first step to managing an intraprocedural complication is to be able to quickly recognize that a deployment difficulty has occurred. The interventionalist must then be ready to use common troubleshooting techniques to rectify or avoid complications of stent-graft delivery. 相似文献
