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

Fenestrated endovascular repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm has been developed to treat patients with a short or complicated aneurysm neck. Fenestration involves creating an opening in the graft fabric to accommodate the orifice of the vessel that is targeted for preservation. Fixation of the fenestration to the renal arteries and the other visceral arteries can be done by implanting bare or covered stents across the graft-artery ostia interfaces so that a portion of the stent protrudes into the aortic lumen. Accurate alignment of the targeted vessels in a longitudinal aspect is hard to achieve during stent deployment because rotation of the stent graft may take place during delivery from the sheath. Understanding the 3D relationship of the aortic branches and the fenestrated vessel stents following fenestration will aid endovascular specialists to evaluate how the stent graft is situated within the aorta after placement of fenestrations. The aim of this article is to provide the 2D and 3D imaging appearances of the fenestrated endovascular grafts that were implanted in a group of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms, based on the multislice CT angiography. The potential applications of each visualization technique were explored and compared with the 2D axial images. 相似文献

Endoluminal transfermoral repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm by a stent graft placement requires a segment of the nondilated
infrarenal aorta of at least 15 mm long for safe stent graft attachment. The possibility of endoluminal treatment of a juxtarenal
abdominal aortic aneurysm with partially covered spiral Z stent was assessed in experiment and in three clinical cases. In
the experiment, the noncovered spiral Z stent was placed into the abdominal aorta, across the origins of renal arteries and
mesenteric arteries, in six dogs. In the clinical cases, a partially covered stent graft was attached in 3 patients with the
juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (of the group of 12 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm). The stent grafts were attached
with proximal uncovered parts across the origins of the renal arteries. In experiment, the renal artery occlusions or stenoses
were not observed 36 months after stent placement, and in clinic 3 patients with the juxtarenal aortic aneurysm were successfully
treated by stent graft placement. There were no signs of flow impairment into the renal arteries 14 months after stent graft
implantation. This approach can possibly expand the indications for endoluminal grafting in the treatment of juxtarenal aortic
aneurysms in patients who are at high risk for surgery. 相似文献

Objective
We wanted to investigate the hemodynamic effect of fenestrated stents on the renal arteries with using a fluid structure interaction method.Materials and Methods
Two representative patients who each had abdominal aortic aneurysm that was treated with fenestrated stent grafts were selected for the study. 3D realistic aorta models for the main artery branches and aneurysm were generated based on the multislice CT scans from two patients with different aortic geometries. The simulated fenestrated stents were designed and modelled based on the 3D intraluminal appearance, and these were placed inside the renal artery with an intra-aortic protrusion of 5.0-7.0 mm to reflect the actual patients'' treatment. The stent wire thickness was simulated with a diameter of 0.4 mm and hemodynamic analysis was performed at different cardiac cycles.Results
Our results showed that the effect of the fenestrated stent wires on the renal blood flow was minimal because the flow velocity was not significantly affected when compared to that calculated at pre-stent graft implantation, and this was despite the presence of recirculation patterns at the proximal part of the renal arteries. The wall pressure was found to be significantly decreased after fenestration, yet no significant change of the wall shear stress was noticed at post-fenestration, although the wall shear stress was shown to decrease slightly at the proximal aneurysm necks.Conclusion
Our analysis demonstrates that the hemodynamic effect of fenestrated renal stents on the renal arteries is insignificant. Further studies are needed to investigate the effect of different lengths of stent protrusion with variable stent thicknesses on the renal blood flow, and this is valuable for understanding the long-term outcomes of fenestrated repair. 相似文献6.

The purpose of this report was to demonstrate initial Japanese cases of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with complex anatomy
of proximal neck treated using a Zenith fenestrated endograft with branched endovascular technique and to describe the device’s
design and technical considerations. Planning and sizing of endografts were performed using high-resolution computed tomography
on a three-dimensional workstation. Branched endograft technique combined with reinforced fenestrated device and balloon-expandable
stent graft was used in two patients because of challenging morphology for the fenestrated device with a bare stent. Successful
exclusion of the aneurysm sac was achieved in both patients with antegrade perfusion in incorporated visceral vessels. Endovascular
repair using a fenestrated device with graft material incorporating the visceral arteries is feasible. The combination of
the reinforced fenestration and the balloon-expandable stent graft can provide an adequate sealing effect for the compromised
anatomy. Initial and midterm results are reported with further follow-up and patient accrual. 相似文献

Aortic stent grafting may be an alternative to surgery for patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm and coexistent horseshoe kidney but is not without difficulties. This study examines the renal consequences of aortic stent grafting in such patients. This is a retrospective review of patients with horseshoe kidney in whom aortic stent grafting was performed between December 1995 and August 2000. Follow-up occurred within the EUROSTAR protocol and included measurement of serum creatinine. Of 130 patients in whom aortic stent grafting was performed, 4 had coexistent horseshoe kidney. In all patients the aneurysm was successfully excluded with the occlusion of between one and four anomalous renal arteries. At follow-up, no clinically significant renal impairment was detected. Endovascular aneurysm repair is an attractive option for patients with a horseshoe kidney and normal preoperative creatinine levels. 相似文献

This case report describes repair of a type I endoleak at the distal landing zone of a thoracic aortic stent graft by endovascular placement of a thoracoabdominal fenestrated stent graft (Cook, Brisbane, Australia). The fenestrated stent graft was interposed between a previous abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) Gelsoft tube graft (Sulzer Vascutek Ltd, Inchinnan, United Kingdom) and two overlapping Zenith thoracic endografts (Cook Inc, Bloomington, Indiana). Placement was made more complex because the distal thoracic endograft had rotated into a horizontal position. At 3-year clinical and computed tomography (CT) follow-up, continued clinical and radiologic success was shown with no further intervention required. 相似文献

The endovascular repair of abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA) with stent grafts is rapidly becoming an important
alternative to open repair. Suprarenal stent grafting, recently
modified from conventional infrarenal stent grafting, is a technique
for the purpose of treating patients with inappropriate aneurysm necks.
Unlike open repair, the success of endoluminal repair cannot be
ascertained by means of direct examination and thus relies on imaging
results. The use of conventional angiography for arterial imaging has
become less dominant, while helical computed tomography angiography
(CTA) has become the imaging modality of choice for both preoperative
assessment and postoperative followup after treatment with stent graft
implants. There is an increasing likelihood that radiologists will
become more and more involved in the procedure of aortic stent grafting
and in giving the radiological report on these patients treated with
stent grafts. It is necessary for radiologists to be familiar with the
imaging findings, including common and uncommon appearances following
aortic stent grafting. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to
describe and present normal and abnormal imaging appearances following
aortic stent grafting based on helical CTA. 相似文献

The aim of this study is to quantify the effects of helical CT acquisitions parameters on the magnitude of three-dimensional stair-step artefacts, visualization of renal ostium and morphologies of suprarenal stents observed using virtual intravascular endoscopy. This was performed in a phantom of the human abdominal aorta with a stent graft in situ. Stair-step artefacts were quantified by measuring the standard deviation of signal intensity on surface shaded images and the influence of these artefacts on the visualization of arterial ostia and stent morphologies were assessed by three radiologists. The methodology may be used to optimise the CT system performance for helical CT angiography in aortic stent grafting. 相似文献

Endovascular stent grafting of abdominal aortic aneurysms is a new technique that may replace open surgery in selected cases. Pre-and postoperative angiography can be replaced by helical CT. This pictorial essay describes and illustrates the use of multislice helical CT where maximum intensity projection and multiplanar reformats play a central role in the evaluation. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate multiphasic 3D gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (3D-Gd-MRA) for detection of vascular pathology at multiple levels of the aorta and iliac arteries. METHODS: In 18 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (n = 13), dissection (n = 3), or both (n = 2), multiphase 3D-Gd-MRA was performed acquiring five consecutive (6.8 seconds) 3D data sets in a single breath-hold. In each of the five time-resolved phases, vessel visibility of the abdominal aortic branches and iliac arteries was assessed. The extent of vessel involvement by the aneurysm or dissection seen on multiphase 3D-Gd-MRA was compared with standard imaging and surgical findings. Digital subtraction angiography was available for comparison in 4 cases, CT angiography in 10 cases. RESULTS: Due to the delayed filling of the aortic aneurysm, the proximal aortic branches and the aneurysm neck demonstrated an inversely related enhancement compared with the distal abdominal and iliac vessels (P < 0.001). Review of all five phases of multiphase 3D-Gd-MRA allowed optimal visualization of each vessel segment without any artifacts due to parenchymal or venous overlay. In dissections, review of three phases was required (P < 0.001) for diagnostic evaluation of the true and false lumens. Substantially more vessel involvement was detected on multiphase 3D-Gd-MRA; this was surgically confirmed in 10 of 11 cases and affected therapy management in 11 of 18 cases. CONCLUSIONS: Multiphase 3D-Gd-MRA is a convenient, robust, and safe technique for presurgical anatomic mapping of complex aortic aneurysms and dissections. 相似文献

Purpose: To investigate the prevalence of renal artery aneurysms, and to assess the value of multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) in diagnosing renal artery aneurysms.
Material and Methods: Altogether, 862 patients underwent arterial-phase contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen in the period November 2003 to October 2005. A search for renal artery aneurysms was performed in our reporting system and revealed six patients with renal artery aneurysm (RAA).
Results: The incidence of RAA was 0.7%. All renal artery aneurysms were solitary, located in the main trunk or the first branch of the renal artery, with sizes from 1.5 cm to 3.4 cm. Five aneurysms were saccular, one fusiform. No underlying thrombosis was seen. Extensive calcification was found in one aneurysm. Three aneurysms were diagnosed using axial images, while three aneurysms were only displayed by volume rendering and maximum-intensity projection images.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates a 0.7% incidence of renal artery aneurysms in a total of 862 patients. MDCT has an important role in detecting and assessing renal artery aneurysms. Some aneurysms can only be displayed by post-processing techniques such as volume rendering and maximum-intensity projection. 相似文献

Tuberculous aneurysm of the aorta is exceedingly rare. To date, the standard therapy for mycotic aneurysm of the abdominal aorta has been surgery involving in-situ graft placement or extra-anatomic bypass surgery followed by effective anti-tuberculous medication. Only recently has the use of a stent graft in the treatment of tuberculous aortic aneurysm been described in the literature. We report two cases in which a tuberculous aneurysm of the abdominal aorta was successfully repaired using endovascular stent grafts. One case involved is a 42-year-old woman with a large suprarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm and a right psoas abscess, and the other, a 41-year-old man in whom an abdominal aortic aneurysm ruptured during surgical drainage of a psoas abscess. 相似文献
