RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The aim of this work was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of Duplex ultrasound (DUS) and CT angiography (CTA) in the study of arterial vessels, in patients with chronic peripheral arterial disease (PAD) of the lower limbs to undergo endovascular revascularization with the use of intraprocedural digital angiography (DSA). METHODS: Ninety-four patients with obstructive pathology of the arterial axes of the lower limbs were enrolled in the study. In all patients, endovascular revascularization treatment was considered the most suitable therapeutic choice. For this reason, ultrasound and CTA was performed preoperatively in all and based on the data obtained it was decided to classify the arterial tree into five segments: iliac, common femoral, superficial femoral, popliteal and infra-geniculate. According to the degree of stenosis or occlusion, the arteries were scored in no stenotic, stenotic and occluded. The comparison of the data provided by the DUS and the CTA was carried out with reference to the parameters obtained by the DSA. RESULTS: The results of our experience have shown that in the iliac arterial district DUS proved to be less accurate than CT angiography when compared to DSA (Cohen's κ agreement of 0.91 and 1.0, respectively). Good diagnostic concordance was found in the femoro-popliteal district (Cohen's κ agreement 33 between 0.96 and 0.93). On the contrary, when the data of the infra-geniculate area were compared, CT angiography showed a net deficiency compared to DSA and DUS (Cohen's κ: 0.75). CONCLUSIONS: Due to its accuracy, high-quality DUS performed by well-trained operators may therefore represent a good alternative to CTA in patients undergoing endovascular revascularization, in order to reduce the use of contrast-enhanced radiological imaging especially when a condition of intolerance to the contrast medium and/or renal insufficiency coexists.

RESUMEN

Atherosclerotic plaques concomitantly with the hyoid bone protrusion into the internal carotid artery (ICA) are rarely reported in the literature. These plaques can be considered as arising from the turbulent flow and the shear stress caused by the close contact between the hyoid bone and the arterial wall carotid artery. The carotid stenosis was greater than 70%. We report a patient with a transient ischemic attack and a right significant carotid artery stenosis presumably due to a compression of an elongated ICA by the hyoid bone. The patient was submitted to open surgery to remove the plaque and correct the anomalous course of ICA combined with the lysis of the arterial adhesions with the right greater horn of the hyoid bone. The hyoid bone is a remote cause of injury and subsequent atherosclerotic lesions of carotid vessels. Elongation of the carotid artery can alter its course and can favor the mechanical interference with the hyoid bone and the subsequent arterial wall damage. When an external compression of the carotid artery is viewed, the endovascular treatment of the carotid artery stenosis is not advisable and open surgery is mandatory.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: To report the use of a Nellix endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) device, to successfully treat a type Ia endoleak (EL) after an endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). CASE REPORT: A 70-year-old man was diagnosed with a 90-mm aortic aneurysm, suspicious for being inflammatory. It was initially treated successfully, with a Medtronic Endurant (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA). Five years after the index endovascular repair, an asymptomatic type Ia EL was detected on duplex ultrasound and computed tomographic angiogram. Other endovascular solutions in the form of proximal cuff, chimney was considered difficult to execute due to challenges in planning, manipulation, and renal cannulation caused by the short proximal sealing zone above the existing stent graft and the constraints of the previous endograft. Thus, a relining of the previous endoprothesis was performed using the Nellix system (Endologix, Inc., Irvine, CA, USA). One-year follow-up imaging demonstrated successful resolution of the EL and persistent sealing of the Nellix device. CONCLUSIONS: Nellix EVAS system can be an alternative and safe option for relining a stent graft with a type Ia EL. Nellix platform can be added to the clinician's armamentarium for treating type Ia EL after conventional EVAR of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

RESUMEN

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a less invasive option for managing traumatic injuries of the descending aorta in polytraumatized patients. Concerns arise when treating young patients with TEVAR. A 22-year-old male was admitted to the emergency department following a high-impact road traffic collision. Whole-body computed tomography (CT) scan documented multiple injuries, including rupture of descending thoracic aorta just below the isthmus. There was no evidence of paraplegia or stroke. We decided to treat him in an endovascular fashion with a Zenith Cook (Cook Incorporated, Bloomington, IN) endograft. Final angiography confirmed the proper positioning of the device, no infoldings, and the optimal filling of the thoracic aorta downstream of the endoprosthesis. In the postoperative period, the patient showed high blood pressure which was treated with 4 different antihypertensive drugs. He was discharged on cardioaspirine. CT scan control was scheduled after 30 days and 6 months, but he referred to our emergency department after less than 6 months with paraplegia, abdominal pain, and acute renal failure. He had independently discontinued antiplatelet therapy 3 months before. Emergency CT control documented the presence of intimal flap and thrombus at the distal edge of the device. The magnetic resonance imaging revealed ischemic damage of the spinal cord. We decided to reline the endograft using another Zenith Cook device with very good results. Renal failure and bowel pain gradually improved, but paraplegia is still present. TEVAR is the most suitable treatment for blunt thoracic aortic injury in the modern era. Concerns arise from what can happen to a young aorta receiving a stiff endovascular graft that should be carried all lifelong. These devices have been associated with acute hypertension and cardiac remodeling. Less stiffer stent grafts should be studied for young patients. High attention must be posed in the follow-up for the immediate resolution of eventual problems.

RESUMEN

Background. Balloon aortoplasty with or without stenting is a less invasive alternative to open surgery for the management of recurrent isthmic coarctation. However, in patients with previous small size tube graft, an open surgical correction is mandatory and, in most cases, an anatomical aortic reconstruction is carried out. Methods. We present the case of a 48-year-old woman with recurrent aortic coarctation and systemic hypertension with systolic value around 190-200 mmHg and preoperative systolic pressure gradient 70 mmHg, submitted to an extra-anatomical bypass. Through a median sternotomy, an extra-anatomical bypass from ascending to descending aorta was performed. Results. No intra- or postoperative complications were observed. The postoperative pressure gradient was 10 mmHg and the systolic pressure ranged from 130 to 140 mmHg. Conclusion. The extra-anatomical bypass can be considered an effective and safe alternative to the anatomical aortic reconstruction in the cases with recurrent aortic coarctation unfit for endovascular treatment.

RESUMEN

CONCLUSIONS: Laryngeal and/or cranial nerve involvement after CEA surgery is not a rare condition, occurring in almost half of operated subjects. However, in most cases the functional deficit is transient and does not need any particular form of treatment. In this study, specific rehabilitative procedures were needed in only a relatively small number of cases (9%). A routine ENT examination has also proved to be extremely useful for detecting slight functional deficits which may occur following CEA surgery, bearing in mind that possible permanent lesions may require a rehabilitative procedure. OBJECTIVE: To identify, by means of a careful otolaryngologic examination, the incidence and degree of cranial nerve deficit related to carotid endarterectomy (CEA), starting from the first postoperative days. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A consecutive cohort of patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis who underwent CEA was carefully followed on the basis of possible laryngeal and/or cranial nerve involvement. An ENT examination was carried out preoperatively (phase I) and at different times [3 (phase II) and 15 days (phase IIIa)] after surgery; in addition, patients with persisting neurological lesions were also checked 60 days after surgery (phase IIIb). RESULTS: In 59% of the patients, isolated or associated forms of deficit were found. Only 17.5% of these deficits did not appear to be transient, but rehabilitative procedures for voice or swallowing impairments were only needed in 9% of them.
