Introducción. Las complicaciones posteriores a la reparación endovascular de aneurisma (EVAR) pueden resolverse con técnicas endovasculares. Sin embargo, cuando está indicada, la explantación de una endoprótesis es un procedimiento complejo, que se asocia a lesiones vasculares o viscerales, con alta morbimortalidad, en pacientes con edad avanzada y múltiples comorbilidades, y por lo tanto, alto riesgo quirúrgico. No existen dispositivos producidos por la industria para explantar las endoprótesis aórticas, por lo que el objetivo de este trabajo fue desarrollar un dispositivo para la explantación de endoprótesis aórticas. Métodos. Se llevó a cabo un estudio experimental, en fase preclínica, para desarrollar un dispositivo para la explantación de endoprótesis aórticas, con pruebas en modelos 3D y en un modelo animal porcino cadavérico. Resultados. Es factible desarrollar un modelo experimental de un nuevo dispositivo para explantar endoprótesis aórticas, denominado explantador de Cabrera, y comprobar su funcionamiento en un modelo animal cadavérico. El uso del explantador de Cabrera limitó el daño de la pared aórtica por parte de la endoprótesis en un 100 % al momento de su explantación en un modelo experimental ex vivo. Conclusión. Usando una jeringa septo, el explantador de Cabrera es superior a la técnica estándar de explantación de una endoprótesis al limitar la lesión de la pared aórtica, al colapsar y liberar los ganchos de fijación suprarrenal de forma controlada y segura al interior de la luz aórtica y, posteriormente, extraerla de forma rápida y efectiva, conservando la mayor cantidad de aorta sana para la posterior reconstrucción aorto-ilíaca.
Introduction. Complications after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) can be resolved with endovascular techniques; however, when indicated, stent explantation is a complex procedure, which is associated with vascular or visceral injuries, with high morbidity and mortality in patients, with advanced age and multiple comorbidities, and therefore high surgical risk. There are no devices produced by the industry to explant aortic endoprostheses, so the objective of this work was to develop a device for the explantation of aortic endoprostheses. Methods. An experimental study was carried out, in the preclinical phase, to develop a device for the explantation of aortic endoprostheses, with tests in 3D models and in a cadaveric porcine animal model. Results. It is feasible to develop an experimental model of a new device for explanting aortic endoprostheses, called Cabrera explanter, and verify its operation in a cadaveric animal model. The use of the Cabrera explanter limited damage to the aortic wall by the endoprosthesis by 100% at the time of explantation in an ex vivo experimental model. Conclusions. Using a septum syringe, the Cabrera explanter is superior to the standard stent explantation technique by limiting injury to the aortic wall, collapsing and releasing the adrenal fixation hooks in a controlled and safe manner into the aortic lumen, and subsequently, extract it quickly and effectively, preserving the greatest amount of healthy aorta for the subsequent aorto-iliac reconstruction.

In recent years, endovascular treatment has emerged as the preferred approach for aortic aneurysms. From an anatomical perspective, the current focus of research remains on the reconstruction of iliac artery branches, multiple branches of visceral arteries, and branches of the aortic arch. Substantial clinical evidence has been accumulated in these areas. Simultaneously, future research is expected to explore the reconstruction of the aortic root involving coronary arteries openings and the inhibition of small arterial aneurysm progression through pharmacological means. This article aims to provide a review of significant research data in recent years related to the treatment of aortic aneurysms, offering insights and prospects for future research directions.

Abstract Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the immediate and long-term outcomes of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) between patients under and over the age of 80 with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Methods: From 2011 to 2017, we conducted a retrospective cohort study with AAA patients who received elective EVAR. Primary outcomes included hospital mortality, length of stay, acute kidney injury, and the need for re-interventions. Secondary outcomes included aneurysm-related mortality, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, acute limb ischemia, and prolonged mechanical ventilation. Results: A total of 77 (62.6%) patients under the age of 80 years old and 46 (37.4%) octogenarians were included in the study. The male gender and AAA diameter did not differ among groups (92.2% vs. 82.6%, p = 0.11 and 5.4 cm [4.9-6.2 cm] vs. 5.4 cm [5-6 cm], p = 0.53, respectively). The younger patients had a higher prevalence of tobacco use (72.7% vs. 41.7%, p = 0.01). There were no deaths during the index hospitalization. The incidence of reinterventions (5.3% vs. 15.2%, p = 0.11) and acute kidney injury (14.3% vs. 23.9%, p = 0.18) did not differ between groups, but the length of stay was longer for octogenarian patients (3 days [2-4] vs. 2 days [2-3, p = 0.04]). Endoleaks were the most common cause for re-interventions (81.8%), with a prevalence of 34% across the entire cohort. There were no differences in any of the secondary outcomes between groups. Conclusion: In octogenarian patients with AAA, EVAR represents a safe procedure both during the index hospitalization and during long-term follow-up.
Resumen Objetivo: Comparar los resultados inmediatos y a largo plazo de la reparación endovascular del aneurisma de aorta abdominal (REVA) entre pacientes menores de 80 años y octogenarios. Método: Cohorte retrospectiva que incluyó pacientes con aneurisma de aorta abdominal (AAA) sometidos a REVA electiva desde 2011 hasta 2017. Se evaluaron como punto finales primarios la mortalidad hospitalaria, la duración de la estadía hospitalaria, la incidencia de insuficiencia renal aguda y el requerimiento de reintervenciones. Los puntos finales secundarios incluyeron la mortalidad asociada al aneurisma, infarto agudo de miocardio, accidente cerebrovascular, isquemia arterial aguda de las extremidades y ventilación mecánica prolongada. Resultados: Se incluyeron 77 (62.6%) pacientes menores de 80 años y 46 (37.4%) octogenarios. La prevalencia de sexo masculino y el diámetro del AAA no difirieron entre ambos grupos (92.2% vs. 82.6%, p = 0.11 y 5.4 cm [4.9-6.2 cm] vs. 5.4 cm [5-6 cm], p = 0.53, respectivamente). Los pacientes más jóvenes presentaron una mayor prevalencia de tabaquismo (72.7% vs. 41.7%, p = 0.01). No se registraron muertes durante la hospitalización índice. La incidencia de reintervenciones (5.3% vs. 15.2%, p = 0.11) e insuficiencia renal aguda (14.3% vs. 23.9%, p = 0.18) no difirieron entre ambos grupos, pero la estadía hospitalaria fue más prolongada en pacientes octogenarios (3 días [2-4 días] vs. 2 días [2-3 días], p = 0.04). La causa más frecuente de reintervenciones fue la presencia de endofugas (81.8%), con una prevalencia del 34% en toda la cohorte. No se observaron diferencias en ninguno de los puntos finales secundarios entre ambos grupos. Conclusión: En pacientes octogenarios con AAA, la REVA presentó un buen perfil de seguridad perioperatorio y a largo plazo.
Résumé
RESUMEN El aneurisma de aorta abdominal (AAA) sintomático no roto es una patología que involucra a aquellos pacientes con AAA intacto, pero que presentan dolor abdominal y/o lumbar atribuido al aneurisma. Esta forma de presentación clínica es po tencialmente mortal dado que su etiopatogenia comprende cambios agudos en la pared aórtica, incluyendo inflamación, lo que incrementa la probabilidad de ruptura inminente. Está claro que estos pacientes deben ser derivados a reparación del AAA. Sin embargo, el momento de la intervención es controvertido. Por lo tanto, el objetivo del presente trabajo fue revisar la información actualizada sobre el abordaje diagnóstico-terapéutico del AAA sintomático no roto.
ABSTRACT Symptomatic unruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) refers to a group of patients with intact AAA but who present abdominal and/or lumbar pain attributed to the aneurysm. This form of clinical presentation is potentially fatal since its etiopathogenesis, involving acute changes in the aortic wall, including inflammation, increases the probability of impending rupture. It is clear that these patients should be referred to AAA repair. However, the timing of the intervention is contro versial. Therefore, the aim of the present work was to review updated information on the diagnostic-therapeutic approach of symptomatic unruptured AAA.

Objective To study the effects of aneurysmal neck angle on stent displacement after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Methods The CT images of 28 patients were selected to establish preoperative AAA model, postoperative AAA model and covered stent model respectively, and the models were divided into non-severe angulation group ( n = 14) and severe angulation group ( n = 14) according to the preoperative angle of tumor neck. The geometric shape of each model was measured, and the changes of AAA geometric parameters and postoperative stent displacements before and after surgery were analyzed. The displacement force of the model during the first follow-up was calculated by hemodynamic simulation. Results Significant differences were found in tumor length, maximum diameter, displacement force, tumor neck length and tumor volume between two groups of patients (P 0. 05). For the incidence of internal leakage, there were 2 cases in non-severe angulation group and 4 cases in severe angulation group (P>0. 05).Conclusions Severe neck angulation can lead to a significant increase in support displacement force and decrease in proximal anchorage zone, and thus increase the possibility of support displacement. It is suggested that doctors should strengthen postoperative follow-up for patients with severe neck angulation and be vigilant of the occurrence of long-term internal leakage in clinic.
Résumé
Objective:To analyze the effective and safety of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) at one tertiary center, and to improve the outcomes of RAAA under fast-track protocol.Methods:Nineteen cases of RAAA in the 940th Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA from January 2014 to December 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. EVAR-fist strategy was employed from the emergency room to the operating room by using fast-track protocol. Preoperative management, anatomic characteristics, choice of anesthesia, operative procedures and postoperative complications were collected and analyzed. Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and hospital mortality were paid special attention.Results:Nineteen cases were undergone EVAR procedures. The age was (73.4 ± 7.4) years old, and the AAA size was (67.8 ± 13.6) mm. Two cases underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation at emergency department. General anesthesia was used in 13 patients and local anaesthesia in 6 patients. Successful stent graft deployment was achieved in all cases. The duration from emergency room to operating room was (84.8 ± 22.4) min. The hospital stay time was (9.7 ± 5.7) d. The hospital mortality was 5/19. The 5 deaths were reviewed: 3 died for multiple organ failure, 1 for irreversible shock, and 1 for ongoing bleeding.Conclusions:Excellent results were confirmed by using EVAR-first strategy for RAAA. The management of hemodynamically unstable state, standardized endovascular procedure, fast-track program and multidiscipline team collaboration were the very important determining factors for the implementation of EVAR. Focused efforts to reduce RAAA mortality are warranted.
Résumé
Concomitant occurrence of coronary arterial disease (CAD) with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is not rare. Combined performance of open surgery (OS) of AAA repair and coronary arterial bypass grafting (CABG) has been reported to be effective as the way to avoid the risk of rupture of the aneurysm and acute coronary syndrome (ACS), while it's highly invasive. We successfully performed a combination performance of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and off-pump CABG (OPCAB) with the support of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in 2 cases with AAA and unstable angina pectoris (UAP). It was suggested that this strategy is a reasonable clinical option for the patient with UAP complicated with large AAA.
Résumé
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a main concern in patients who undergo thoracic endovascular therapy (TEVAR), because the blood flow of the vertebro-basilar artery may be reduced due to the left subclavian artery (LSA) occlusion. If the left vertebral artery originates directly from the aorta, which is called the isolated left vertebral artery (ILVA), a technical consideration for strategies regarding blood perfusion of the ILVA during TEVARs is required. We hereby aim to report three patients (No.1, No.2, and No.3) who underwent an ILVA translocation and TEVAR with Zone 2 landing for aortic dissection. The diameter of the ILVA was 4.2, 2.3, and 2.2 mm, respectively, and the right vertebral artery (RVA) was dominant in all cases. In Patient No.1 and No.2 (ILVA diameter: 4.2 and 2.3 mm, respectively), the ILVA was anastomosed directly to the left common carotid artery. In Patient No.2, the translocated ILVA was occluded resulting in SCI, but the SCI improved when blood pressure was augmented. In Patient No.3 (ILVA diameter: 2.2 mm), the saphenous vein graft was interposed between the ILVA and the bypass artery because the ILVA diameter was small, but postoperatively, the ILVA remained patent, and no paraplegia was observed. The occlusion of ILVA could cause SCI, even if the RVA is larger than the LVA. Reconstruction of the ILVA is a critical procedure to prevent postoperative SCIs in patients undergoing TEVARs.
Résumé
Aortic end graft (EVAR) infection isa challenging management problem in aortic surgery with 0.2% to 0.7% incidence, which is similar to aortic graft infection after open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. Although much attention has been given to the more common problem of endo leak management, yet only sporadic case reports have been reported about the late complication of endograft infection. We reported a case of elderly Saudi male, known to have multiple medical problems presented to our emergency department with severe progressive abdominal pain, vomiting, and fever over the last 7 days. He was evaluated and diagnosed as septic shock due to and infected stent graft following Endovascular Aneurysm Repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm, 4 years ago, with peritonitis. He underwent emergency laparotomy and a left paraaortic abscess was drained and a part of exposed metals of the stent graft found. Other intraperitoneal abcesses were drained and abdomen closed over drains. Patient remained under ICU care, but unfortunately deteriorated and died 3 days postoperatively.
Résumé
To evaluate the relationship of volumetric changes and endoleaks after endovascular aneurysm repair(EVAR)for abdominal aortic aneurysms(AAAs). We retrospectively evaluated the clinical and imaging data of 54 patients who had underwent EVAR within 1 month after their aneurysms were detected.All patients received abdominal and pelvic enhanced computed tomography(CTA)for two follow-up visits in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from July 2014 to February 2019.Three-dimensional volumes and maximum diameters on axial CT of the aortic aneurysms were calculated by dedicated semi-automated 3D segmentation software before surgery(V and D),in the 4 postoperative month(Vand D),and in the 12 postoperative month(Vand D),respectively.The presence or absence of endoleak for each patient with the V/V,V/V,and V/V were calculated to assess the significance of volume changes with respect to endoleaks and the correlation between volume changes and maximum diameter changes on axial CT images. Of the 54 patients,endoleaks were found in 11 patients at the first follow-up visit(4 months after surgery),among whom 8 patients were arranged a second follow-up visit(12 months after surgery),during which endoleaks were found in 5 patients.Fifteen of 43 non-leaked patients underwent a second CTA examination,which revealed endoleak in one case.Patients who did exhibit endoleaks[ =11,V/V=1.086(1.033,1.116)]showed significant increases in aneurysm volume when compared with those who did not exhbit endoleaks[ =43,V/V=1.019(0.970,1.065)]at the first follow-up visit(=-2.695,=0.007),although no significant difference was found with regard to volume changes between endoleaks(=6,V/V=1.1±0.2,V/V=1.0±0.1)and non-endoleaks(=17,V/V=1.0±0.1,V/V=1.0±0.1)at the second follow-up visit(=0.725,=0.476)as well as between these two follow-up visits(=-0.021,=0.984).V and D were moderately correlated with V and D,respectively(=0.5,<0.001)and strongly correlated with V and D,respectively(=0.8,<0.001).V and D were strongly correlated with V and D,respectively(=0.8,<0.001). The changes of aneurysm volume cannot reliably reflect the occurrence of endoleaks.The change of maximum axial diameter of aneurysm has certain correlation with the changes of aneurysm volume.

Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the operative mortality rate and outcomes of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) between young and geriatric people in a single center. Methods: Eighty-five patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms who underwent EVAR between January 2012 and September 2016 were included. Outcomes were compared between two groups: the young (aged < 65 years) and the geriatric (aged ≥ 65 years). The primary study outcome was technical success; the secondary endpoints were mortality and secondary interventions. The mean follow-up time was 36 months (3-60 months). Results: The study included 72 males and 13 females with a mean age of 71.08±8.6 years (range 49-85 years). Of the 85 patients analyzed, 18 (21.2%) were under 65 years old and 67 patients (78.8%) were over 65 years old. There was no statistically significant correlation between chronic disease and age. We found no statistically significant difference between aneurysm diameter, neck angle, neck length, or right and left iliac angles. The secondary intervention rate was 7% (six patients). The conversion to open surgery was necessary for only one patient and only three deaths were reported (3.5%). There was no statistically significant difference in the mortality and reintervention rates between the age groups. The three deaths occurred only in the geriatric group and two died secondary to rupture. Kidney failure was observed in three patients in the geriatric group (4.5%). Conclusion: Our single-center experience shows that EVAR can be used safely in both young and geriatric patients.

To assess the efficacy and outcome of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR for the treatment of primary infected aortic aneurysms (PIAAs).Methods The clinical data of 15 consecutive patients presenting with PIAA from Apr 2010 to Apr 2018 were retrospectively reviewed.Results 10 were male out of 15 patients ranging from 55 to 80 years old.The aneurysms were located in thoracoabdominal aorta in 1 case,abdominal aorta in 10 cases and left common iliac artery in 4 cases.Positive microbial cultures were reported in 13 patients,including Salmonella species in 12 and Streptococcus in 1.Eleven patients received preoperative antibiotics therapy before elective EVAR for more than 1 week.Four patients underwent emergency EVAR due to ruptured aneurysms.Postoperative antibiotic therapy was given for at least six months.There was no death within 30 days.Mean follow-up time was 44.6 months.Infection relapsed in 6 patients during follow-up.Infection-related death occurred in 3 cases.3 of them were healed.Conclusions EVAR combined with aggressive antibiotic strategy is feasible for the treatment of PIAAs,particularly in high-risk surgical patients or in the acute setting of rupture.
Résumé
We presented a challenging case of a patient diagnosed with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), peripheral artery disease, and chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI). Herein, we describe the treatment in this high-risk patient diagnosed with CMI who also had critical limb ischemia and his AAA had rapidly expanded. First we performed angioplasty and celiac arterial stenting. Afterwards, we proceeded to perform balloon angioplasty of the iliac arteries and chimney endovascular aneurysm repair (Ch-EVAR) preserving the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). The patient was discharged three days later and his IMA remained patent eighteen months post-operation. A thorough pre-operative assessment is essential in such challenging cases. Minimally invasive procedures like endovascular therapy and the chimney technique extend the prognoses in high-risk patients.

Objective To observe the long-term efficacy of human fibrin sealant (FS) in the treatment of proximal type Ⅰ endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).Methods The clinical data of 104 AAA patients with proximal type Ⅰ endoleak receiving EVAR + FS in Changhai Hospital from 2003 to 2012 was retrospectively analyzed,among those 77 cases were with less than 15 mm proximal neck,21 cases with greater than 60 degrees proximal neck angulation,37 cases with severe calcification or thrombosis in proximal neck.After failure of conventional endoleak therapy FS was injected through AAA catheter and long-term efficacy was evaluated by CTA during the follow-up.Results Intra-sac pressure decreased significantly after FS injection.Three patients (2.9%)died perioperatively.Postoperative 1'-,3' and 5 year survival rate was 91.8%,80.6% and 60.2%respectively.Maximum diameter of AAA decreased from (58.78 ± 13.41) mm to (52.6-± 12.2) mm.There was no FS injection related complications.Conclusion Intra-sac injection of FS is an effective,economical and safe method for treating post-EVAR endoleak,especially for AAA with relatively short and twisted aneurysm neck.
Résumé
Introduction: There has been a paradigm shift in the treatment of AAA with the advent of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Rapid progress and evolution of endovascular technology has brought forth smaller profile devices and closure devices. Total percutaneous endovascular aneurysm repair (pEVAR) involves the usage of suture-mediated closure devices (SMCDs) at vascular access sites to avoid a traditional surgical cutdown. Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our experience of pEVAR between April 2013 and July 2014. Primary success of the procedure was defined as closure of a common femoral artery (CFA) arteriotomy without the need for any secondary surgical or endovascular procedure within 30 days. Results: In total there were 10 pEVAR cases performed in the study period, one case in Queen Elizabeth Hospital during visiting vascular service. Patients have a mean age of 73.4 year old (66-77 year old) The mean abdominal aortic size was 7.2 cm (5.6-10.0cm). Mean femoral artery diameter was 9.0 mm on the right and 8.9 mm on the left. Mean duration of surgery was 119 minutes (98- 153 minutes). 50% of patients were discharged at post-operative day one, 30%- day two and 20%- day three. Primary success was achieved in 9 patients (90%) or in 19 CFA closures (95%). No major complication was reported. Discussion: We believe that with proper selection of patients undergoing EVAR, pEVAR offers a better option of vascular access with shorter operative time, less post- operative pain, shorter hospital stay and minimises the potential complications of a conventional femoral cutdown.
Résumé
PURPOSE: To report experiences of the sandwich technique (ST) for preservation of pelvic flow during endovascular repair of complex aortic or aortoiliac aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eight patients underwent elective endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) using the ST between March 2013 and February 2017. The anatomic indications for the ST were complex aortoiliac aneurysms (5 cases), abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) with non-diseased short common iliac arteries (2 cases) and AAA with unilateral occluded iliac artery (1 case). The ST was performed through both femoral and brachial approach. Patient clinical and radiologic data were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: Eight patients (7 male; mean age, 73.4 years) were followed over a mean period of 277 days (range, 9–1,106 days). The technical success rate was 100%. The primary patency rate of the iliac stent-grafts was 88% (14/16 cases). One internal iliac and 1 external iliac stent-graft occlusion was observed during the early postoperative period. There was 1 gutter endoleak which disappeared spontaneously within 4 days, and there were 2 type II endoleaks: one treated by coil embolization after 13 months, and the other observed without treatment. There were no cases of sac growth or aneurysm-related deaths, and no cases of buttock claudication or impotence. CONCLUSION: The ST is a safe and feasible technique to preserve pelvic circulation during endovascular treatment of complex aortoiliac aneurysms. The need to expand the indications for complex EVARs with adjunctive procedures, such as the ST is highlighted in situations where branched/fenestrated device availability is limited.

Objective To summarize experience of concomitant endovascular aneurysm aortic repair(EVAR) and coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) for patients of severe coronary artery disease(CAD) complicated with infra-renal abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA) or infra-renal abdominal penetrating aortic ulcer(PAU).Methods Between January 2013 and December 2016,13 patients with severe CAD and infra-renal AAA/PAU who underwent CABG and EVAR were enrolled in this study.12 patients (92.3 %) were male and 1 patient was female (7.7 %),the mean age of(63.7 ± 7.3) years.11 patients with CAD related symptoms,2 patients with AAA/PAU related symptoms,abdominal aortic lesions include:AAA in 3cases,PAU in 10 cases,2 patients combined with PAU of the thoracic aorta.CABG and EVAR manipulations were performed according to the routine protocol,patients who were combined with thoracic aorta PAU were treated with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) simultaneously.Results 7 patients received EVAR followed by CABG;6 patients received CABG followed by EVAR,TEVAR were performed in 2 patients.For all the patients,there were 11 cases of CABG were performed under the cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) (ON-PUMP) and 2 others cases were performed without CPB(OFF-PUMP).On the average(2.5 ± 0.7)grafts were performed.The time of aortic clamp and CPB averaged were(50.7 ± 16.5)min and (58.0 ± 11.2)min respectively for the ON-PUMP CABG patients.Totally 30 thoracic aorta and abdominal aorta stent grafts were implanted in 13 patients.The duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation time was (17.8 ± 7.0) hours,Median intensive care stay was (2.7 ± 1.9) days,while hospital stay was(8.1 ± 2.4)days.All the patients was discharged.1 patient suffered wound unhealing 2 days after discharging,followed by sternal infection,he was re-admitted and received pectoralis major myocutaneous flap transfer operation,29 days after this operation,he suffered sudden cardiac arrest and eventually dead.The other 12 surviving patients was followed up for 1 ~ 36 months,The results showed that the patency of the grafts in all patients was good,no EVAR related secondary interventions were required.Conclusion For the patients with surgical indications,the procedure of one stage CABG and EVAR completed by one surgical team was safe and feasible.Comparing with the traditional one stage or staged surgical repair,this strategy showed less surgical trauma,shorter operation time,lower perioperative risks,more efficacy and more conducive to the overall management of patients.
Résumé
Coil migration during endovascular procedures is not an unusual complication, but there is no standard management strategy for bailout. Here, we describe a technique for removal of a migrated coil using a snare. During embolization of type II endoleak from the inferior mesenteric artery in a post-endovascular aneurysm repair patient, the coil migrated to the sigmoidal artery causing an occlusion. We used a microsnare loop and successfully retrieved the migrated coil. This is the first case in Korea that uses a loop snare for the removal of a migrated coil during visceral endovascular treatment to our knowledge. This technique of using a microsnare for removal of displaced coils can be a good resort in selected cases.
