RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Animal modeling is a prerequisite for clinical transfer of new therapies. This study targets an acute in vivo animal model of type A dissection using endovascular approach with a view to test future stent grafts dedicated to this aortic segment. METHODS: Experiments were conducted on 13 swine. Two arterial accesses, femoral and percutaneous transapical, were required. Entry tear was created by endovascular instrumental means inserted through transapical access with either Outback catheter (group 1, n = 3) or EchoTip Endoscopic Ultrasound Needle (group 2, n = 10). Afterward, dissection extension was obtained in antegrade direction by looped guidewire technique, and, as often as possible, re-entry tear was created with either looped guidewire or Outback catheter. Finally, entry tear, dissected space, and re-entry tear when existing were dilated with 8-mm balloon. In our acute model, animals were euthanized at the end of the experiment day, and aortas were explanted for macroscopic and histologic examination. RESULTS: The model was successfully created in 10 out of 13 animals. In group 1, dissection was limited to arch with 23 mm average length and no possibility of achieving re-entry tear. One aortic perforation was observed. In group 2, dissection was extended up to descending thoracic or thoracoabdominal aorta, with 110 mm average length (range 40-165 mm), and re-entry tear was created in seven cases. Histologic examination confirmed the presence of intimo-medial flap. CONCLUSIONS: The present experiment validates a new type A dissection animal model, which morphologically reproduces human aortic dissection features. As such, it provides an advantageous basis for testing future stent grafts.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Technical and clinical success of thoracic aortic endovascular procedures relies mainly on the choice of the proximal sealing zone (PSZ). The latter can be affected by multiple complications, all of them having a potential gravity and a direct link with the quality of the PSZ. The objective of this study was to analyze the risk factors of PSZ complications occurrence. METHODS: Between 2007 and 2015, all the patients treated by a thoracic stent graft in zones 2, 3, or 4 were retrospectively reviewed, with analysis of the preoperative and postoperative angio-computed tomography. Proximal sealing zone complications are type Ia endoleaks, bird beak ≥20 mm, malposition ≥11 mm, migration ≥10 mm, and retrograde dissection. Three types of potential risk factors were analyzed: (1) related to the patients (age, gender, pathology, urgency, hybrid surgery); (2) related to the stent graft (bare or covered proximal stent, degree of oversizing, number of stents, generation); (3) related to the morphology (radius of curvature, diameter, degree of conicity, calcifications and thrombus of the neck, depth of the arch, angulation of the proximal sealing zone, and tortuosity index of the arch and the thoracic aorta. RESULTS: Seventy-six patients (mean age: 54 years, 17-93 years) were treated for traumatic aortic rupture (n = 27, 35.5%), aortic dissection (n = 26, 34%), aneurysm (n = 15, 20%), and other diseases (floating thrombus, aortoesophageal fistula) (n = 8, 10.5%). A hybrid surgery was carried out in 18 patients (24%). Primary technical success was 93.5% (n = 71). With a mean follow-up of 29 months, 30 PSZ complications were observed in 21 patients (28%): type Ia endoleaks (n = 3, 4%), bird beak (n = 7, 9%), malposition (n = 3, 4%), migration (n = 1, 1.5%), retrograde dissection (n = 1, 1.5%), or several complications (n = 6, 7.8%). Among the morphological factors, 2 parameters were significantly associated with the occurrence of complications: tortuosity index (group without PSZ complications 1.62 ± 0.2 vs. group with PSZ complications 1.72 ± 0.2, P = 0.042), and the diameter of the proximal neck (group without PSZ complications 25.7 ± 5 vs. group with PSZ complications 31 ± 6.0, P = 0.001). Neither the demographic factors nor those related to the stent graft presented a statistically significant relation with the occurrence of complications. CONCLUSIONS: This work clearly highlights the relation between PSZ complications, independently of their type, and the local and global aortic morphology. A wide proximal neck, > 34 mm, and an important aortic tortuosity, > 1.8, are situations at risk.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the effects of operative indication, anatomy, and stent graft on type I endoleak occurrence after thoracic endovascular aortic repair. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted of patients admitted for thoracic endovascular aortic repair between 2007 and 2013. All computed tomography angiography imaging was analyzed for the presence of endoleak and measurement of diameters and lengths. Variables studied included underlying disease, emergency, achieved aortic neck length, difference between proximal and distal neck diameters, landing zone 2, and stent graft characteristics (diameter, number, type of device, oversizing degree, and covered aorta length). RESULTS: The study population involved 84 patients (mean age, 56 years; range, 17-94 years) who were treated for thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) (n = 29; 34.5%), traumatic aortic rupture (n = 27; 32%), type B aortic dissection (n = 19; 22.5%), intramural hematoma (n = 2; 2%), penetrating aortic ulcer (n = 5; 6%), and aortoesophageal fistula (n = 2; 2%). Of these, 60 patients (71.5%) were treated emergently and 24 (28.5%) electively. Primary type I endoleak was noted in eight patients (9.5%), of which two resolved spontaneously. After a mean follow-up of 32 months (range, 3-76 months), secondary type I endoleak was detected in four patients (4.5%). All of them occurred after emergent TAA treatment. Comparison between emergent and elective groups revealed no significant differences in neck length (19.5 mm vs 26.5 mm; P = .197), oversizing degree (11.1% vs 10.9%; P = .811), or endoleak rates (13.3% vs 8.3%; P = .518). Hemorrhagic shock was not predictive of endoleak (P = .483). Cox regression analysis of the different anatomic and stent graft-related factors revealed short proximal landing zone as the unique independent predictor of type I endoleak (hazard ratio, 0.89; 95% confidence interval, 0.81-0.99; P = .032). CONCLUSIONS: Endoleak risk seems not to be increased by an emergency setting. However, the relatively high rate of late endoleak observed after emergent TAA repair advocates for close follow-up, contrary to traumatic aortic rupture. Furthermore, regardless of the pathologic process, a longer proximal landing zone is likely to guarantee early and late success.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: In this study we analyzed embolization and stent-graft results. METHODS: Demographics, indications, procedures, and outcomes of patients treated with embolization or stent grafting for late postoperative bleeding after major abdominal surgery were retrospectively recorded. Outcomes were analyzed on an intention-to-treat basis. RESULTS: Between 2004 and 2008, 14 consecutive patients (11 men and 3 women, mean age 64 years) were treated for hemorrhage responsible for shock in 6 patients (43%), occurring after pancreaticoduodenectomy (n=13) or subtotal gastrectomy (n=1). Mean onset occurred at 23 days postoperatively (range 7-75 days). Bleeding site included: the stump of the gastroduodenal artery (n=10), splenic artery (n=2), common hepatic artery (n=1), and right gastric artery (n=1). Initial success was obtained in 13 patients (93%); the only failure of stent-graft deployment required re-laparotomy. Treatment included embolization in 8 patients and stent grafting in 5 patients. In the embolization group, 5 complications (62%) occurred: 4 rebleeding and 1 gastric perforation, compared with no early complications in the stent-graft group. One patient died in each group. The mean follow-up was 25 months (range 6-57 months). CONCLUSIONS: Stent grafting seems to provide definitive hemostasis and fewer complications compared with embolization.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Literature series that include visceral artery pseudoaneurysms rarely separate them from true aneurysms, although they address different issues. Guidelines for optimal management of these lesions are lacking. We report our experience of stent graft treatment of these lesions with midterm results. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all patients with a visceral pseudoaneurysm who were treated with a stent graft in our institution. Patient history, clinical characteristics, procedure details, and outcome were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS: From March 2004 to June 2009, 10 consecutive patients (9 men), who were a mean age of 59 years, were treated for symptomatic visceral artery pseudoaneurysm, with hemorrhagic shock in 8 patients (80%), after pancreaticoduodenectomy in 8, gastrectomy in 1, and abdominal trauma in 1. A mean of 24 days (range, 7-60 days) passed between the initial surgery or trauma and pseudoaneurysm diagnosis. Septic complications were associated in six patients (60%). The pseudoaneurysm was in the hepatic artery in 8 patients, the splenic artery in 1, and the superior mesenteric artery in 1. Technical and clinical success was achieved in 80% of patients. Two failures of catheterization were followed by redo surgery and death (20%). No patients died postoperatively, and no complications among the patients who were treated successfully. Mean follow-up was 37 months (range, 10-63 months). All stent grafts were patent, with no signs of infection. Two patients died secondary to neoplasm. No rebleeding or recurrent aneurysms were noted. CONCLUSION: Stent graft exclusion of visceral artery pseudoaneurysm seems to be a valid therapeutic approach regardless of the patient's septic or hemodynamic status.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: In hemodynamically unstable patients, the management of retroperitoneal vascular trauma is both difficult and challenging. Endovascular techniques have become an alternative to surgery in several trauma centers. METHODS: Between 2004 and 2006, 16 patients (nine men, mean age: 46 years, range: 19-79 years) with retroperitoneal vascular trauma and hemodynamic instability were treated using an endovascular approach. The mean injury severity score was 30.7 ± 13.1. Mean systolic blood pressure and the shock index were 74 mm Hg and 1.9, respectively. Vasopressor drugs were required in 68.7% of cases (n = 11). Injuries were attributable to road traffic accidents (n = 15) and falls (n = 1). The hemorrhage sites included the internal iliac artery or its branches (n = 12) with bilateral injury in one case, renal artery (n = 2), abdominal aorta (n = 1), and lumbar artery (n = 1). RESULTS: In all, 14 coil embolizations and three stent-grafts were implanted. The technical success rate was 75%, as early re-embolization was necessary in one case and three patients died during the perioperative period. Six patients died during the period of hospitalization (37.5%). No surgical conversion or major morbidity was reported. CONCLUSION: In comparison with particulates, coil ± stent-graft may provide similar efficacy with regard to survival, and thus may be a valuable solution when particulate embolization is not available or feasible.

RESUMEN

Reimplantation of the left renal vein into the infrarenal inferior vena cava is the standard surgical procedure for nutcracker syndrome. A 40-year-old woman with a solitary left kidney suffered from left lumbar pain and hematuria. Imaging techniques found a large kidney with nutcracker syndrome. A totally laparoscopic transposition of the left renal vein was performed. Twelve months later, the patient is improved and has no more hematuria. Duplex scan showed no residual stenosis. Laparoscopic transposition of the left renal vein into the inferior vena cava is feasible with short length of stay and good short-term result.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To assess the potential benefit of the addition of a covered stent to a subintimal recanalized artery in patients with femoro-popliteal occlusions. METHODS: From September 2003 to October 2005, we retrospectively analyzed all patients admitted for severe claudication or critical limb ischemia related to long femoro-popliteal occlusions and treated with subintimal recanalization. Patients were divided into two groups depending on whether they received a stent or not. All patients in the group treated with stent received a stent graft, and the entire length of the recanalized artery was covered in each case. Demographic data, indications, procedure, and outcomes were examined using survival analysis statistical techniques. RESULTS: Fifty-three patients (54 limbs) were treated consecutively for severe claudication (n=19) or critical limb ischemia (n=34). Thirty-four (64%) had a stent placed, while 19 (35.8%) did not. The mean length of the lesions treated was 20.11 cm (range, 5-35 cm). Statistically, there was no significant difference in lesion length, Rutherford stage of peripheral-artery disease, Transatlantic Inter-Society Consensus classification, and distal run-off between the two groups. The technical success rate was 94.5%, and two out of the three failures were treated with surgical bypass in one case and major amputation in the other. The third patient received only medical treatment. Combined procedures were required in the treatment of 68.2% of limbs in the no-stent group and 55.8% in the stent group. Mean follow up was 16.9 months (range, 1-35 months). At 1 year, primary, primary-assisted, and secondary patency for the stent vs no-stent groups was, respectively, 61.8% vs 78.9% (P=.49), 70.6% vs 78.9% (P=.78), and 88.2% vs 78.9% (P=.22). The 1-year limb salvage rate for the stent vs no-stent group was 94.1% vs 100% (P=.7). CONCLUSION: Combining subintimal angioplasty with a stent graft in femoro-popliteal lesions does not improve patency. The limb salvage rate remains high after addition of a stent graft. Rigorous monitoring is recommended to diagnose and treat restenosis early in order to improve patency.

RESUMEN

We report a case of renal artery thrombosis resulting from a stent fracture in a patient with a solitary functional kidney. It was successfully revascularized by surgical repair despite renal ischemia lasting more than 48 hours. This article illustrates the danger of generalizing endovascular stenting in renal artery disease regardless of the etiology. Renal artery entrapment must be kept in mind as a possible cause of renal artery stenosis. Treatment of compressive pathologies with stenting can lead to stent failure. Surgery remains the best approach for the treatment of this type of lesion.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Ilio-caval stenting now represents the first line treatment for disabling obstructive ilio-caval lesions. Most patients are young women of child-bearing age. We herein report our experience of pregnancy in women who have a history of ilio-caval stenting. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From November 1995 to April 2008, 119 patients had ilio-caval stenting for obstructive venous disease in our department. Of these, 62 women were able to become pregnant. When pregnancy occurred, they received preventive treatment with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) from the 3rd month of pregnancy to 1 month after delivery and had to wear elastic stockings. Patients also had to sleep on their right side if possible. They were followed during the pregnancy by duplex scanning at 3, 6, and 8 months, and then 1 month after delivery. RESULTS: Eight pregnancies occurred in 6 patients (mean age 26.5 years) who had a patent self-expanding stent (1 patient had 3 pregnancies). They had stenting for May-Thurner disease in 3 patients, for post-deep venous thrombosis (DVT) left common iliac vein occlusion in 1 patient, and during venous thrombectomy in 2 patients. All stents were self-expanding metallic stents located on the left common iliac vein. One patient had unrelated spontaneous abortion after 2 months of pregnancy. No DVT or symptomatic pulmonary embolism occurred during pregnancy, delivery, or during the postpartum period. Four patients needed cesarean delivery and none had hemorrhagic complications. None of the patients had adverse effects from the treatment. Duplex scan showed compression of the stent(s) at 8 months in 4 patients with inflow obstruction in 3 patients. Postpartum duplex-scan showed no remaining stenosis in all patients. No stents had structural damage. CONCLUSION: Ilio-caval stent compression can occur during pregnancy but does not lead to structural damage to the self-expanding stents. Despite this, no cases of DVT occurred with preventive LMWH treatment.

RESUMEN

We report one case of posterior nutcracker syndrome treated by left ovarian vein (LOV) transposition. A 36-year-old woman was suffering from nutcracker syndrome associated with pelvic congestion syndrome. Color duplex scan, computed tomographic scan, and angiography demonstrated a stenosis of a retroaortic left renal vein with proximal dilatation and incompetence of the LOV. The renocaval pullback gradient was 10 mm Hg. The LOV was harvested laparoscopically and transposed into the inferior vena cava. Completion angiography showed a patent reconstruction with no significant gradient. At day 4, an asymptomatic thrombosis was treated by thromboaspiration. Forty months later, the patient remained asymptomatic with a patent transposition. Posterior nutcracker syndrome is a rare condition. When associated with pelvic congestion syndrome due to LOV reflux, it can be treated by LOV transposition.

RESUMEN

Mechanical characteristics of both the healthy ascending aorta and acute type A aortic dissection were investigated using in vitro biaxial tensile tests, in vivo measurements via transoesophageal echocardiography and histological characterisations. This combination of analysis at tissular, structural and microstructural levels highlighted the following: (i) a linear mechanical response for the dissected intimomedial flap and, conversely, nonlinear behaviour for both healthy and dissected ascending aorta; all showed anisotropy; (ii) a stiffer mechanical response in the longitudinal than in the circumferential direction for the healthy ascending aorta, consistent with the histological quantification of collagen and elastin fibre density; (iii) a link between dissection and ascending aorta stiffening, as revealed by biaxial tensile tests. This result was corroborated by in vivo measurements with stiffness index, ß, and Peterson modulus, Ep, higher for patients with dissection than for control patients. It was consistent with histological analysis on dissected samples showing elastin fibre dislocations, reduced elastin density and increased collagen density. To our knowledge, this is the first study to report biaxial tensile tests on the dissected intimomedial flap and in vivo stiffness measurements of acute type A dissection in humans.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to identify patient, pathology and procedure-related factors affecting perioperative and mid-term mortality of thoracic aorta emergencies. METHODS: Between 2007 and 2014, patients treated emergently with thoracic stent-graft were retrospectively reviewed. Variables analyzed were: age, renal insufficiency, shock, cardiac arrest, transfer status, pathology, debranching procedures, operation duration, vascular access and European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE). Seventy-four patients (54.5±22 years) were treated for traumatic rupture (N.=31), aneurysm (TAA) (N.=16), acute aortic syndrome (N.=18), aorto-esophageal fistula (N.=2), floating thrombus (N.=7). Thirty-four patients (46%) were in shock, including 3 suffering preoperative cardiac arrest. Proximal landing zones were: zone 0 (N.=4), zone 1 (N.=4), zone 2 (N.=37), zone 3 (N.=21) and zone 4 (N.=8). Debranching procedures were performed in 16 cases (22%). RESULTS: Perioperative all-cause- mortality was 18.9% (N.=14). Univariable analysis identified age, renal insufficiency, shock, transfer status, cardiac arrest, debranching procedures in zones 0 or 4 and EuroSCORE as predictors of death (P=0.002, P=0.001, P=0.002, P=0.05, P=0.006, P=0.028, P<0.001 respectively). Multivariable analysis pinpointed shock and renal insufficiency as independent risk factors. Over a mean 41 months follow-up, survival was 72% at both 1 and 3 years and was impacted by pathology and debranching procedures. Aortic re-intervention rate was 12% (N.=9), significantly higher in TAA group (P=0.004). CONCLUSIONS: Hemorrhagic shock remains highly lethal for endovascular repair. Hybrid procedures in zones 0 or 4 should be avoided to improve short and mid-term outcomes. TAA groups require close surveillance to detect late events.

RESUMEN

In addition to conventional and endovascular techniques, laparoscopic surgery is becoming a third way to treat patients with aortoiliac occlusive or aneurysmal diseases. Several different laparoscopic techniques are available, but most authors are stressing the need for development of specific laparoscopic aortic instruments, to decrease the operative and clamping times and reduce the learning curve. Our experience of more than 150 patients who underwent a laparoscopic abdominal or thoracic aortic reconstruction, has lead us to imagine the instruments that may facilitate these procedures, and then to create a society with Vascular Surgeons and Biomedical Engineers, called PROTOMED, which may conceive, develop, and test new medical instruments. This Chapter presents an overview of what is available currently, such as laparoscopic aortic clamps or laparoscopic intestinal retractors; others are in the experimental stage, such as laparoscopic aortic staplers, anastomotic devices, and robotic surgical systems. This important technologic challenge should lead to 2 major orientations: development of qualitative in vitro and in vivo experiments to test these new products, and training courses to teach their use. Minimally aggressive techniques are well adapted to a western population growing older and has access to constantly improving medical care; however, only specific and ergonomic instruments will allow these new techniques to be widely embraced by the vascular surgical community.

RESUMEN

Beside conventional and endovascular techniques, laparoscopic surgery is becoming a third way to treat patients presenting with aortoiliac occlusive or aneurysmal diseases. Several different laparoscopic techniques have been described, but most authors are stressing on the need for development of a specific laparoscopic aortic instrumentation, in order to decrease the operative and clamping times and to reduce the learning curve. This article is presenting an overview of what is already available, as laparoscopic aortic clamps or laparoscopic intestinal retractor, and what is still experimental, like laparoscopic aortic staplers, anastomotic devices or robotic surgical systems. This important technologic challenge should lead to two major orientations: development of qualitative in vitro and in vivo experiments to test these new products and training courses to teach the manipulation of it. Minimally aggressive techniques are well adapted to a western population, which becomes older, and has access to constantly improving medical care; however, only a specific and ergonomic instrumentation will allow these new techniques to be widely embraced by the vascular surgical community.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Iliac vein occlusive disease leads to 73% of rethrombosis that occurs after venous thrombectomy when left untreated. The goal of this study is to present our long-term results of stenting of iliocaval occlusive lesions persisting after surgical venous thrombectomy. METHODS: From November 1995 to April 2007, 29 patients (19 women), with a median age of 38 years, had surgical venous thrombectomy with creation of an arteriovenous fistula and angioplasty and stenting. All were admitted for acute (<10 days) deep venous thrombosis (DVT) involving the iliocaval segment, of which eight had concomitant acute pulmonary embolism. Six patients had a history of DVT (2 with previous venous thrombectomy), two were pregnant, and three had postpartum DVT. No patients had short- or mid-term life-threatening factors. The underlying lesion was left iliocaval compression (May-Thurner syndrome) in 22 patients, chronic left common iliac vein occlusion in 3, residual clot in 3, and compression of the left external iliac vein by the left internal iliac artery in 1. RESULTS: Neither perioperative death nor pulmonary embolism occurred. Four early complications occurred after stenting (13.8%). Median hospital length of stay was 8 days (range, 5-22 days). Median follow-up was 63 months (range, 2-137 months). Three late complications occurred (10.3 %): one rethrombosis due to stent crushing during pregnancy and two restenosis, which were treated by iterative stenting. At the end of the follow-up, the median venous clinical severity score was 3 (range 1-12) and the venous disability score was 1 (range 0-2). Primary, assisted primary and secondary patency rates were, respectively, 79%, 86%, and 86% at 12, 60, and 120 months. Patients with patent iliocaval segments had significantly fewer infrainguinal obstructive lesions (4% vs 50%) and a higher rate of valvular competence (76% vs 0%) than those who experienced rethrombosis. Venous scores were also worse in patients with rethrombosis. CONCLUSION: Stenting is a safe, efficient, and durable technique to treat occlusive iliocaval disease after venous thrombectomy. Its use can prevent most of the rethrombosis that occurs after venous thrombectomy without major adverse effects.

RESUMEN

We report a case of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm emergently treated by endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) that developed a primary type II endoleak leading to persistent blood loss and retroperitoneal hematoma increase. Coil embolization resolved this. Although to our knowledge there are no recommendations regarding this, our report suggests that early type II endoleaks occurring after emergency EVAR for ruptured AAA should be treated when it is associated with blood extravasation outside the aneurysm sac.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Compression of the left renal vein between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery is a rare but possibly underestimated condition. Surgical correction (42 cases reported in the literature) can be performed by means of a variety of different techniques. Although endovascular stenting is well accepted for iliocaval occlusive disease, it has been poorly evaluated in this indication. We describe five patients who were treated for nutcracker syndrome by using stenting and analyze the nine cases previously reported. METHODS: From November 2002 to September 2004, five women (mean age, 34.7 years) were admitted for endovascular treatment of a nutcracker syndrome. They all had incapacitating pelvic congestion syndrome, including two with a history of left ovarian vein embolization; moreover, two had left lumbar pain, and three had hematuria. The mean preoperative venous disability score was 2.4. The patients underwent a gynecologic examination and laparoscopy to eliminate other causes of pelvic pain. The laparoscopy revealed large pelvic varicose veins and no signs of endometriosis. Duplex scan, computed tomographic scan, and iliocavography revealed left renal vein compression, with proximal distention and collateral pathways, with dilatation and permanent reflux in the left ovarian vein in the three patients who had not had prior embolization. The mean renocaval pullback gradient was 4.3 mm Hg. A percutaneous endovascular procedure, during in which a self-expanding metallic stent was implanted, was performed under general anaesthesia. RESULTS: Technical success was achieved in all cases. One case of stent migration occurred: the stent was pulled down in the inferior vena cava, with uneventful follow-up (mean, 14.3 months). One month later, patients were all improved and stents were patent at the duplex scan examination, without restenosis. The mean venous disability score was 1. No further left ovarian vein reflux was evident at duplex scan in patients who did not have prior embolization. Pelvic pain recurred in one patient who had initially improved, and endometriosis was diagnosed 15 months after the procedure. Two other patients, who received 40-mm-long stents, had a secondary recurrence of the symptoms caused by stent dislodgement. The two other patients were asymptomatic. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that stenting is feasible, but some guidelines should be followed, mainly the use of long stents protruding into the inferior vena cava. Stenting can eliminate the symptoms of the condition, and the technique is only very slightly invasive. Further experience and follow-up are needed before accepting such a procedure for treatment of the nutcracker syndrome.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The goal of this article is to present clinical and patency results of endovascular treatment of nonmalignant, iliocaval venous obstructive disease and to discuss the evolution of technical details. METHODS: From November 1995 to June 2004, 44 patients (female-male ratio, 3.9:1; left-right lower limb ratio, 8.6:1; median age, 42 years; range, 21-80 years) had treatment for chronic disabling obstructive venous insufficiency with iliocaval stenosis or occlusion. The clinical class of CEAP was 2 in 11 limbs, 3 in 31, 4 in 4, 5 in 1, and 6 in 1; etiology was primary in 32 patients, secondary in 10, and congenital in 2. Anatomic involvement included superficial veins in 16 patients and perforator veins in 11. Obstruction was associated with superficial reflux in 4 patients, deep reflux in 13, and both in 13. Ten patients had occlusion. All procedures were performed in the operating room with perioperative angiography and angioplasty with or without self-expanding stent implantation. Venous clinical severity and disability scores were obtained before and after treatment. Patency and restenosis were evaluated by duplex Doppler ultrasonography. RESULTS: No perioperative death or pulmonary embolism occurred. The technical success rate was 95.5% (two recanalization failures), and two (4.5%) perioperative stent migrations occurred. One early thrombosis (2.4%) was treated by thrombectomy and creation of an arteriovenous fistula. One late death and one thrombosis occurred. Restenoses were found in five patients and were all treated successfully (four needed iterative stenting). Median follow-up was 27 months (range, 2-103 months). Median venous clinical severity score improved from 8.5 to 2, and median venous disability score improved from 2 to 0. Cumulative primary, assisted primary, and secondary patency rates of the venous segments at 36 months were 73%, 88%, and 90%, respectively, in intention to treat. The survival rate was 100% at 12 months and 97.3% at 60 months. CONCLUSIONS: Endovascular treatment of benign iliocaval occlusive disease is a safe and efficient minimally invasive technique with good mid-term patency rates. Moreover, it improves cases with obstruction only, as well as cases with associated reflux and obstruction. Primary stenting should always be performed by using self-expanding stents deployed under general anesthesia to avoid lumbar pain. In case of failure, the endovascular procedure does not preclude further surgical reconstruction.

RESUMEN

Long-standing arteriovenous fistula (AVF) can lead after closure to late arterial aneurysm formation. We report the case of an extensive iliofemoral aneurysm extending from the aorta to a left venous above-knee to below-knee popliteal bypass occurring 14 years after closure of a post-traumatic popliteal AVF. While the arterial axis, which was not dilated at closure, became aneurysmal, it is remarkable that the vein bypass performed at the same time was not altered. The pathophysiologic mechanism of such a complication could be morphologic modification of the arterial wall while the AVF is open and hemodynamic change after its closure.
