RESUMEN

We present the case of an 87-year-old man with a ruptured right internal iliac artery aneurysm with hemoperitoneum. The right internal iliac artery aneurysm appeared to fill from the retrograde profunda femoris artery in the setting of a previously repaired abdominal aortic aneurysm with aorta-bi-iliac bypass with ligation of the bilateral internal iliac arteries. Abdominal computed tomography revealed an aneurysm of the right internal iliac artery measuring 8.9 cm, with filling through the collateral vessels. Open repair was performed, leading to complete exclusion of the aneurysm with no perioperative complications.

RESUMEN

Introducción : Los aneurismas intracraneales representan el 85% de casos de hemorragias subaracnoideas, dentro de las cuales las no traumáticas tienen una alta tasa de mortalidad (40-60%). En el manejo endovascular y microquirúrgico de esta enfermedad, el debate ha sido siempre intenso respecto a si el tratamiento temprano produce un beneficioso resultado funcional y reduce la morbi-mortalidad del paciente. Caso Clínico : Paciente mujer de 54 años, admitida con cefalea súbita y cuadro neurológico que cursó con rápido deterioro. La tomografía mostró hemorragia subaracnoidea por ruptura aneurísmica del complejo comunicante anterior; fue sometida a microcirugía dentro de las primeras 24 horas y transferida luego a UCI, sin complicaciones. Discusión : El tiempo de resolución, sea mediante clipaje microquirúrgico o tratamiento endovascular es tema de intensos debates. Las guías actuales señalan la necesidad del manejo más temprano posible de la patología. Conclusión : En nuestro caso, se obtuvo un buen resultado funcional debido a varios factores uno de ellos el ingreso precoz a cirugía. La actualización de las guías y nuevos estudios ayudarán a mejorar el conocimiento de la enfermedad y protocolos hospitalarios adecuados a la realidad clínica ayudarán a reducir su tiempo de resolución.


SUMMARY Introduction : Intracranial aneurysms account for 85% of all subarachnoid hemorrhages. Non-traumatic SAH has a high mortality rate (40-60%). Regarding the microsurgical and endovascular management for this pathology, there has been intense debate on whether early action is beneficial in terms of functional outcome and reduction of morbi-mortality. Clinical case : A 54-year-old woman admitted with a sudden, severe headache and a rapidly deteriorating neurological state at baseline, and with deterioration at the next hour. Tomography showed a subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery; the patient underwent surgery within the first 24 hours, with subsequent ICU management without complications. Discussion : The resolution time of this condition, either by micosurgery or endovascular management is a matter of intense debate. International guidelines point out the need of an earliest possible treatment. Conclusion : In our case, a good functional result was obtained due to several factors, one of which was early admission to surgery. The updating of guidelines and new studies will help to better understand the pathophysiology of SAH, and the creation of hospital protocols adapted to clinical realities will assist to reduce the resolution time of this pathology.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Currently, there is an increasing tendency to refer only complex aneurysms for microsurgery. The formation of new neurosurgeons dedicated to open vascular neurosurgery becomes challenging in a situation in which complex aneurysms must be dealt with early in the career, raising questions about the safety of the learning curve. METHODS: We analyzed the characteristics and surgical results of the first 300 consecutively treated patients after subarachnoid hemorrhage by a single neurosurgeon. The incidence of surgical complications and clinical outcomes during the learning curve were analyzed, looking for critical periods regarding patient safety. Microsurgical operative times were also studied. RESULTS: A high frequency of wide-necked aneurysms was observed (70.3%), and, as a result, large (> 10 mm), MCA and paraclinoid aneurysms were overrepresented. A statistically significant correlation between surgical experience and clinical outcomes was observed, with progressive surgical experience resulting in a lower incidence of unfavorable outcomes. We also observed a higher frequency of major surgical complications, unfavorable clinical outcomes, and lower complete occlusion rates among the first 40 patients. Microsurgical operative times progressively and significantly decreased during the learning curve. CONCLUSIONS: We observed a high prevalence of wide-necked aneurysms. Young neurosurgeons must be trained and prepared to deal with these aneurysms early in their careers. Although we observed a decrease in unfavorable results with cumulative surgical experience, the first 40 cases were associated with higher rates of major surgical complications, worse clinical outcomes, and lower complete occlusion rates, indicating that this period may be more critical to patient safety.

RESUMEN

Intracranial aneurysms arise in 1-2% of the population and usually present as hemorrhagic strokes. Spontaneous thrombosis of a ruptured intracranial aneurysm occurs in 1-3% and most commonly in giant aneurysms, with complete thrombosis in just 13-20% of the cases. Thrombosis of smaller aneurysms is rare. Here we present a case of a patient who presented with a ruptured intracranial aneurysm that subsequently thrombosed, discovering a neighboring de-novo aneurysm during follow-up. We hypothesized that after thrombosis, the hemodynamic characteristics that contributed to the formation of the first aneurysm were replicated.

RESUMEN

Rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm is an event with a high mortality rate and treatment is a medical emergency. Endovascular treatment of these aneurysms has become established as a minimally invasive alternative to classical open surgery and is now the first-choice option. However, 20 to 50% of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms do not have anatomy favorable for endovascular treatment because of a short aneurysm neck or because visceral branches are involved by the aneurysm. We report the case of a 70-year-old patient who underwent endovascular repair of a ruptured juxtarenal aneurysm with deployment of parallel stents in the renal arteries (in a chimney technique). Clinical data and details of the procedure are reported. Technical success was achieved and there were no postoperative complications.

RESUMEN

Purpose: To demonstrate an off-the-shelf multibranched (t-Branch) modification to allow intercostal arteries preservation during juxtarenal, pararenal, paravisceral, and extent IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Technique: The t-Branch is an off-the-shelf device not customized for specific patient anatomy and may be offered for urgent endovascular repair for patients with complex aortic aneurysms. However, a concern when treating patients who do not aneurysms extending above the celiac axis is that the more proximal extension which is required with this device may render patients at high risk for spinal cord injury. We report a novel technique with t-Branch modification performing a 180° fabric back windows at the first 2 sealing stents that allow perfusion to the intercostal arteries. Conclusion: T-Branch-PIA (preserving intercostal arteries) modification limits intercostal arteries coverage while optimizing proximal seal zone in juxtarenal, pararenal, paravisceral, and extent IV thoracoabdominal aneurysms, thereby may decrease the risk of spinal cord injury.

RESUMEN

Resumen Los aneurismas esplénicos verdaderos son dilataciones saculares que involucran todas las capas de la arteria esplénica. Se presentan más frecuentemente en mujeres, en el embarazo y pacientes con hipertensión portal. Son habitualmente asintomáticos y diagnosticados incidentalmente durante el estudio de otra afección abdominal. Hasta un 10% se puede presentar con ruptura, lo que supone un escenario con una alta morbilidad y mortalidad. El tratamiento de los aneurismas esplénicos es aún un tema de controversia y existen variadas modalidades terapéuticas. Presentamos dos casos de pacientes con aneurismas esplénicos: uno de ellos que se manifestó con rotura y el otro por un diagnóstico incidental. Ambos fueron resueltos mediante embolización endovascular con resultados óptimos. Esta modalidad terapéutica poco difundida para el tratamiento de aneurismas esplénicos gigantes o rotos, nos permitió resolver el cuadro de forma segura y efectiva, con mínima morbilidad y mortalidad.


Abstract True splenic aneurysms are saccular dilations of all the layers of the splenic artery, more common in women, pregnancy and portal hypertension. They are usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally during the study of other abdominal diseases. Up to 10% may present with rupture, which implies a high morbidity and mortality. Treatment of splenic aneurysms is still a subject of controversy and there is a great variety of therapeutic modalities. We present two cases of patients with splenic aneurysms: one who presented with rupture and the other one incidentally diagnosed. Both were treated with endovascular embolization achieving optimal results. Although the utility of this therapy has not been assessed for giant or ruptured aneurysms, it allowed us to solve these scenarios in a secure and effective way, with minimum morbidity and mortality.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of signs of impending rupture (SIR) in asymptomatic patients with abdominal aortic and iliac artery aneurysms, and to evaluate whether these signs were associated with rupture in asymptomatic patients. METHODS: This was a retrospective study of patients with abdominal aortic and iliac artery aneurysms identified on computed tomography (CT) over a 10-year period in a single center. The CT scans were reviewed by two reviewers, and patients with SIR were assigned to one of three groups: (1) early symptomatic (ES), (2) late symptomatic (LS), and (3) always asymptomatic (AA). The four main SIR described in the literature were investigated: 1) crescent sign, 2) focal wall discontinuity of circumferential calcifications, 3) aortic bulges or blebs, and 4) aortic draping. RESULTS: From a total of 759 aortic and iliac aneurysm reports on 2226 CT scans, we identified 41 patients with at least one SIR, and a prevalence of 4.14% in asymptomatic patients. Focal wall discontinuity of circumferential calcifications was the most common sign, and it was present in 46.3% of these patients (19/41); among these, 26 were repaired (ES: 9, LS: 2, AA: 15). Eleven asymptomatic patients underwent follow-up CT. The aneurysm increased in size in 6 of the 11 (54.5%) patients, and three ruptured (all with discontinuity of calcifications), one of which had no increase in diameter. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of focal wall discontinuity of circumferential calcifications was the most common SIR. There was a prevalence of all signs in less than 5% of asymptomatic patients. In unrepaired patients, the signs could be observed on follow-up CT scans with an increase in aneurysm size, indicating that the presence of SIR alone in the absence of other clinical factors or aneurysm characteristics is an insufficient indication for surgery.

RESUMEN

Resumo A ruptura do aneurisma de aorta abdominal é um evento com alta mortalidade, e o seu tratamento nesses casos é uma emergência médica. O tratamento endovascular desses aneurismas tem se estabelecido como uma alternativa minimamente invasiva à cirurgia aberta clássica, tornando-se a opção de primeira escolha. Contudo, 20 a 50% dos pacientes portadores de aneurisma de aorta abdominal não apresentam anatomia favorável para o tratamento endovascular devido à presença de colo curto ou pelo acometimento de ramos viscerais pelo aneurisma. Relatamos um caso de uma paciente de 70 anos submetida à correção endovascular de aneurisma roto justarrenal com implante de stents paralelos para as renais (técnica de chaminé). São apresentados dados clínicos e detalhes do procedimento. O sucesso técnico foi obtido e não houve relato de complicações pós-operatórias.

RESUMEN

We report a case of a hybrid surgical treatment of a 71-year-old fragile female with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with a 5-year history of progressive back pain and diagnosis of descending thoracic aorta aneurysm (DTAA), but refused operation at first. Since the patient presented with an acute expanding painful pulsatile mass due to a ruptured DTAA contained by the subcutaneous tissue and had a high-risk surgical profile, we agreed that the simplest urgent operation should be performed. Cardiopulmonary bypass with or without deep hypothermic circulatory arrest was ruled out as an option. The initial approach would be permanent bypasses to the supra-aortic trunks and endovascular repair of the ruptured DTAA, but we ran into a problem: the absence of suitable diameter in the ascending aorta to land the prosthesis-zone 0. To overcome this obstacle, we opted to perform a diameter reduction of the ascending aorta by wrapping it with a Dacron tube to create a neck where we could land the endovascular prosthesis. Following this step bypasses from the proximal ascending aorta to the brachiocephalic artery, left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery were created. Since we gained ground to act in zone 0, the first endoprosthesis was landed in the wrapped zone and the aortic arch-from zone 0 to zone 3. The second and third endoprostheses covered the ruptured DTAA above the celiac trunk-zones 4 and 5. Good positioning of the endoprostheses was achieved and we attained procedural success.

RESUMEN

The popliteal artery is the main site of occurrence of peripheral aneurysms. Acute presentations constitute a potential threat to limb viability and to life, especially in the event of rupture. Rupture is a rare event, but one that demands an immediate intervention decision to achieve a satisfactory treatment outcome. The gold standard treatment is conventional surgery, effecting repair by interposition of a great saphenous vein graft. Studies conducted in recent decades have found associations between Marfan Syndrome and peripheral aneurysms. This report presents a case of a ruptured left popliteal artery aneurysm successfully treated in an 82-year-old patient clinically diagnosed with previously unknown Marfan syndrome.

RESUMEN

Resumo A artéria poplítea é o principal local para a ocorrência de aneurismas periféricos. Suas formas de apresentação agudas são potencialmente ameaçadoras à viabilidade do membro e à vida, dentre as quais destacamos a sua rotura. Apesar de ser um evento raro, sua rotura demanda rápida proposta de intervenção para satisfatório desfecho terapêutico. O tratamento padrão-ouro é o cirúrgico convencional e se dá pela interposição de veia safena magna. Trabalhos feitos nas últimas décadas vêm encontrando associações entre a síndrome de Marfan e aneurismas periféricos. Este relato apresenta um caso de um aneurisma de artéria poplítea esquerda roto tratado com sucesso em um paciente de 82 anos diagnosticado clinicamente como portador de síndrome de Marfan previamente desconhecida.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to characterize the clinical profile of patients with anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms and examine potential correlations between clinical findings, aneurysm morphology, and outcome. METHODS: A review of medical records and diagnostic neuroimaging reports of patients treated at a neurosurgical service in Porto Alegre, Brazil, between August 2008 and January 2015 was performed. RESULTS: During the period, 100 patients underwent surgery for ACoA aneurysms. Fifteen had unruptured aneurysms and 85 had ruptured aneurysms. Ruptured aneurysms had a higher aspect ratio than unruptured ones (2.37 ± 0.71 vs. 1.93 ± 0.51, P = 0.02). Intraoperative rupture occurred in 3%, and temporary clipping was performed in 15%. Clinical vasospasm occurred in 43 patients with ruptured aneurysms (50.6%). Overall, mortality was 26%; 25 patients in the ruptured group (29.4%) and one in the unruptured group (6%). The Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) was favorable (GOS 4 or 5) in 54% of patients, significantly more so in those with unruptured aneurysms (P = 0.01). In patients with ruptured aneurysms, mortality was associated with preoperative Hunt and Hess (HH) score (P < 0.001), hydrocephalus (P < 0.001), and clinical complications (P < 0.001). Unfavorable outcomes were associated with HH score (P < 0.001), Fisher grade (P = 0.015), clinical vasospasm (P = 0.012), external ventricular drain (P = 0.015), hydrocephalus (P < 0.001), and presence of clinical complications (P = 0.001). In patients with unruptured aneurysms, presence of clinical complications was the only factor associated with mortality (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Despite advances in the management of subarachnoid hemorrhage and surgical treatment of aneurysms, mortality is still high, especially due to clinical complications.

RESUMEN

This report describes a case of chronically ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm contained within the lumbar vertebral bodies that presented with dull abdominal pain. Sudden, massive hemorrhage is an uncommon, yet well-known complication of an untreated abdominal aortic aneurysm. In addition, misleading clinical and radiological findings present difficult diagnostic challenges in such cases. This report emphasizes the findings obtained with multidetector computed tomography and delineates the differentiation of this condition from similar pathologies.

RESUMEN

Femoral artery aneurysms are rare and generally affect elderly patients. They are often diagnosed in combination with aneurysms in other locations, such as peripheral and aortic aneurysms. This case report describes a young patient whose superficial femoral artery (SFA) had a clinical presentation suggestive of a ruptured aneurysm. The patient underwent standard treatment, with aneurysmectomy and interposition of the ipsilateral saphenous vein. A review of the literature confirms the rarity of this case.


Os aneurismas de artéria femoral são raros e ocorrem geralmente em pacientes idosos. Estão frequentemente associados a outros aneurismas, tanto periféricos como de aorta abdominal. O presente relato refere-se a um jovem portador de aneurisma de artéria femoral superficial (AFS), cuja apresentação clínica foi a ruptura. O paciente foi submetido ao tratamento convencional, com ressecção do aneurisma e interposição de veia safena magna ipsilateral. A revisão da literatura corrobora a raridade do caso.

RESUMEN

O aneurisma de artéria femoral superficial é um evento raro que costuma manifestar-se em pacientes com idade avançada, frequentemente associado a outros aneurismas, periféricos ou de aorta abdominal. O caso relatado refere-se a um paciente cujo aneurisma de artéria femoral superficial se apresentou roto e associado a um aneurisma de aorta abdominal. Foi submetido à revascularização cirúrgica fêmoro-poplítea mediante prótese de politetrafluoretileno, com sucesso. A revisão da literatura demonstra que embora haja uma tendência à manifestação aguda da doença, principalmente como ruptura, os resultados com o tratamento cirúrgico são excelentes.


Superficial femoral artery aneurysm is rare and usually occurs in elderly patients, often associated with peripheral or abdominal aortic aneurysms. In the reported case, the patient presented with a ruptured superficial femoral artery aneurysm associated with an abdominal aortic aneurysm. A successful femoropopliteal bypass was performed using a polytetrafluorethylene graft. Literature review shows that, despite the tendency for acute onset of the aneurysm, primarily with a rupture, surgical results are excellent.
