Late onset graft or attachment site-related endoleaks may be hazardous, and early identification of patients at risk is important. We describe a patient who underwent implantation of a bifurcated stent graft 5.5 cm below the renal arteries because of a technical error with three extender cuffs implanted proximally to bridge the gap. During the 1st year, aneurysm diameter decreased from 68 to 52 mm. After 1 year, the patient had an acute endoleak develop, which originated between two of the extender cuffs and which was accompanied by severe abdominal pain and reexpansion of the aneurysm. This endoleak was treated with insertion of an additional bifurcated stent graft within the extender cuff segment. The patient has been subsequently followed for 6 months and has had no endoleak or symptoms, and aortic diameter has decreased once again to 55 mm. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The lack of aneurysm pulsatility after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is deemed by some an important guide to the effectiveness of exclusion. However, factors that contribute to aneurysm pulsatility after EVAR have not been elucidated. This study quantitatively analyzed the effects of systemic pressure, aneurysm sac pressure, endoleak, branch outflow from aneurysm sac, and intra-sac thrombus on aneurysm pulsatility after EVAR. METHODS: In an ex vivo model, an artificial aneurysm sac was incorporated within a mock circulation comprised of rubber tubing and a pulsatile pump. The aneurysm sac was then completely excluded from the circulatory circuit with two types of stent-grafts, ie, supported and unsupported, and heparinized canine blood was circulated. Systemic circulation and aneurysm sac pressure was recorded in the absence and presence of endoleaks, and simulated open and closed lumbar branch outflow from the aneurysm sac. The aneurysm sac was then filled with organized human thrombus, and all pressure measurements were repeated. Two observers blinded to the above-mentioned variables independently evaluated aneurysm sac pulsatility with palpation in five separate experiments. Analysis of variance was performed, with significance accepted at P =.05. RESULTS: Systemic pressure was simulated in the artificial circulation to range from 100/60 to 180/60 mm Hg. Regardless of the simulated lumbar branch outflow from the aneurysm, sac pressure was directly related to the presence of endoleak (P <.001). Aneurysm sac pulsatility was present only when the lumbar branch outflow was patent and not dependent on sac pressures. Aneurysm sac thrombosis or type of stent-graft did not influence sac pressure and pulsatility. CONCLUSIONS: In this model, after EVAR pulsatility depends on aneurysm sac outflow, regardless of endoleak, sac thrombosis, sac pressure, or stent-graft. Furthermore, persistent pulsatility does not predict systemic intra-sac pressure, nor does lack of pulsatility reflect freedom of the aneurysm sac from systemic pressurization. This ex vivo model suggests that aneurysm pulsatility is an unreliable guide for predicting aneurysm sac pressurization after EVAR. Other diagnostic methods must be used to assess successful aneurysm exclusion. 相似文献

AIM: To evaluate the value of dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) for classification of endoleaks after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-eight patients, between 2 days and 54 months after EVAR, were evaluated with CTA, MRI and dynamic CE-MRA. The additional diagnostic value of the dynamic 3D CE-MRA was evaluated by determining the ability of the dynamic series in pinpointing the site of inflow of an endoleak. RESULTS: An endoleak was detected in 23 patients. Seventeen of the 23 dynamic series were technically successful (no disturbing artifacts limiting the diagnostic value). Using MRI our findings were: 2 type I, 6 type II, 1 type III, no type IV endoleaks and in 14 cases classification could not be made. The classification results for MRI plus the dynamic CE-MRA were: 2 type I, 12 type II, 1 type III, no type IV endoleaks and in eight cases classification could not be made. In six cases the dynamic MRA allowed classification of the endoleak, which was not possible with the non-dynamic images alone (p=0.091, Fisher exact). CONCLUSION: This pilot study shows that dynamic CE-MRA can have additional value in the classification of endoleaks. Dynamic CE-MRA might obviate the need for diagnostic digital subtraction angiography and aid planning for intervention. 相似文献

ObjectivePre-emptive selective embolization of inferior mesenteric artery (IMA), lumbar arteries (LAs), and perigraft sac for prevention of type II endoleak (T2EL) has not been widely adopted. We perform pre-emptive nonselective perigraft aortic sac embolization with coils (PNPASEC) in patients at high risk for development of T2EL (four or more patent LAs, patent IMA ≥3 mm, and ≥30-mm aortic flow lumen). The goal of this study was to see whether PNPASEC decreases T2ELs requiring reinterventions.MethodsAll 266 patients undergoing elective endovascular aneurysm repair between September 1, 2007, and October 31, 2015, were retrospectively evaluated from a prospectively maintained database. Patients (N = 212; 211 men) with preoperative and postoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans were included. Our PNPASEC technique involves leaving a wire in the sac after cannulation of the contralateral gate and inserting large (0.035-inch) coils into the sac after bifurcated graft deployment. T2EL and reintervention rates were compared between patients who underwent PNPASEC (group I) and those who met the criteria but did not have PNPASEC (group II) and those who did not meet the criteria (Group III).ResultsForty-seven (22.2%) patients were PNPASEC candidates and 165 (77.8%) patients (group III) were not. Among PNPASEC candidates, 16 (7.5%) underwent PNPASEC (group I) and 31 (14.6%) did not (group II). There were no significant differences between groups in terms of comorbidities, aneurysm size, and anatomic and neck characteristics. Mean number of patent LAs was similar between group I (4.5 ± 0.8) and group II (4.5 ± 0.9), which was significantly greater than in group III (1.9 ± 1.3; P < .001); 43.6% of group III patients had patent IMA. Mean follow-up was 44 ± 25 months. T2EL at 6 months was observed in 48.4% in group II, 3.0% in group III, and 6.3% in group I (P < .001). Sac diameter increase was seen in 38.7% in group II vs 6.1% in group III and 6.3% in group I (P < .001), with complete sac shrinkage in 23.3% in group II vs 23.8% in group III and 50.0% in group I (P = .09). T2EL-related interventions were performed in 29.0% in group II vs 1.2% in group III and 6.3% in group I (P < .001). Any endoleak at last follow-up was seen in 25.8% in group II vs 2.4% in group III and none in group I (P < .001).ConclusionsNonselective perigraft sac coil embolization in patients at high risk for T2EL (20% of patients undergoing endovascular aneurysm repair) is effective in preventing development of T2EL and is associated with decrease in sac size and reintervention rates. 相似文献

Background
Three-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasound (3D-CEUS) is a novel technology allowing surgeons to view duplex ultrasound images in three dimensions with ultrasound contrast highlighting blood flow in endoleaks after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). It potentially reduces the need for computed tomography angiography (CTA) and catheter angiography. This study compares 3D-CEUS with both CTA and the final vascular multidisciplinary team (MDT) diagnosis using all available imaging. Interoperator variability for detection of endoleak and the influence of 3D-CEUS on patient management were studied.Methods
A consecutive 100 patients undergoing CTA for EVAR surveillance were invited to undergo standard CEUS and 3D-CEUS on the same day, with 3D-CEUS reported independently by two blinded vascular scientists. Presence and type of endoleak were compared between CTA, standard CEUS, 3D-CEUS, and the final diagnostic decision made in the vascular MDT meeting. Interoperator reliability of 3D-CEUS was analyzed using the κ statistic.Results
The 100 paired CTA, CEUS, and 3D-CEUS studies were analyzed. Compared with CTA, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of 3D-CEUS to endoleak were 96%, 91%, 90%, and 96%, respectively. Compared with the MDT decision with access to all imaging modalities, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of 3D-CEUS were 96%, 100%, 100%, and 96%. The κ statistic for interoperator agreement was 0.89.Conclusions
3D-CEUS was more sensitive and accurate than CTA for endoleak detection and classification after EVAR. 3D-CEUS is now our initial investigation of choice in cases of sac expansion during duplex ultrasound follow-up or if there is diagnostic uncertainty on standard duplex ultrasound or CTA. 相似文献10.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether freedom from endoleak after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (EVAR) is a reliable guide to freedom from persistent or recurrent pressurisation of the aneurysm sac (endotension) and therefore freedom from risk of rupture. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The records of 55 patients followed for more than 3 months after EVAR were reviewed to correlate the presence or absence of endoleak on contrast-enhanced CT and/or angiography with changes in maximum aneurysm diameter (DMAX). RESULTS: in 22 (40%) patients there was no significant change in DMAX during follow-up. In 21 of these no endoleak was observed on CT or angiography. One patient developed a secondary side-branch endoleak which remains under observation. In 18 (33%) patients, DMAX decreased during follow-up. Thirteen of these remained free of endoleak. Four patients developed secondary endoleaks which were treated by secondary intervention. One patient with persistent primary endoleak suffered fatal aneurysm rupture three days before planned intervention. DMAX increased in 15 (27%) patients. In only five of these could an endoleak be identified on CT and/or angiography. One primary side-branch endoleak persists following failed embolisation. Four secondary endoleaks have been corrected by secondary intervention. Four of the remaining 10 patients died suddenly from unknown cause. All had DMAX greater than 65 mm at last follow-up. One patient underwent late conversion, which suggested continued pressurisation through thrombus at the site of a "sealed" primary proximal endoleak. Two patients are scheduled to undergo embolisation of patent side-branches revealed only by Levovist enhanced Duplex scanning and three patients remain under observation. CONCLUSION: Freedom from endoleak on conventional imaging incorrectly suggested freedom from endotension in 10 (18%) of our patients. Follow-up after endovascular repair must include regular measurement of DMAX and/or aneurysm sac volume to identify those patients who remain at risk of rupture. 相似文献

Chimney endovascular aneurysm repair provides an endovascular treatment for complex aortic aneurysms. However, type I gutter endoleaks can complicate this approach and prevent full aneurysm exclusion. Treatment of these leaks can be challenging. We report successful embolization of a type I gutter endoleak after (chimney endovascular aneurysm repair) via a transcaval approach. 相似文献

We present a case of totally robotic ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) for treatment of a persistent endoleak from the IMA into the aneurysm sac after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). An 84-year-old male underwent EVAR with a Gore Excluder stent graft for an asymptomatic infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. Follow-up computed tomographic (CT) scan showed persistent type II endoleak from the IMA, with progressive enlargement of the aneurysm sac from 5 to 6.1 cm over an 18-month period. In this case, the patient underwent ligation of the IMA using the da Vinci Surgical System for the treatment of retrograde flow into the aneurysm sac. The total operating time was 249 min; of this, the robotic assistance time was approximately 180 min. No intraoperative complications occurred. The estimated blood loss was 50 mL and the urine output 650 mL. The patient was extubated immediately after the procedure and tolerated a regular diet the following day. He was discharged home with a urinary catheter on postoperative day 2. CT scan postoperatively and at 3-month follow-up demonstrated an occluded IMA and stabilization of the aneurysm sac size. 相似文献
