RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate midterm clinical and morphologic outcomes after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with large (≥28 mm) infrarenal neck. METHODS: From 2009 to 2012, we prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed clinical, morphologic, and intraoperative and postoperative data of patients undergoing EVAR for wide-neck AAA at three European vascular surgery units. All patients had computed tomography angiography follow-up of ≥24 months. The early end points were technical success and proximal type I endoleak at 30 days. The midterm end points were type Ia endoleak, freedom from reintervention (FFR), survival, AAA-related mortality, and infrarenal and suprarenal aortic diameter progression. The aortic diameters were measured on three-dimensional workstation center lumen line reconstructions, 1 cm below the lowest renal artery, at the level of the renal arteries, at the superior mesenteric artery, and at the celiac trunk. Preoperative and 24-month aortic diameters were compared by paired t-test. Survival and FFR were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS: During the study period, 118 patients (74 ± 8 years) were enrolled. The mean aneurysm diameter was 61 ± 10 mm. Suprarenal and infrarenal fixation endografts were implanted in 102 (86%) and 16 (14%) patients, respectively. The mean main body oversizing was 17% ± 9%. Technical success rate was 98% (three type Ia endoleaks at 30 days). The mean follow-up was 38 ± 12 months. Fourteen type Ia endoleaks (12%) were detected during follow-up. Survival at 3 years and 5 years was 89% and 70%, respectively. Four deaths (3.4%) were type Ia endoleak related. FFR at 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years was 96%, 83%, and 82%, respectively. Eight reinterventions (7%) were proximal neck related. All infrarenal and suprarenal aortic diameters increased at 24 months. The mean increase was 11% for the lowest renal artery (29.1 ± 1.1 mm preoperatively vs 32.3 ± 4.5 mm at 24 months; P < .001), 3% to 5% at the level of the renal arteries, and <3% for the superior mesenteric artery and the celiac trunk. Neck length <15 mm (P = .032), stainless steel endograft (P = .003), and type Ia endoleak at 24 months (P = .001) were associated with infrarenal neck enlargement on multivariate logistic regression. CONCLUSIONS: EVAR performed in AAAs with large necks is associated with a significant infrarenal aortic neck enlargement at 24 months as well as with a high risk of proximal type I endoleak and proximal neck-related reinterventions. In this subgroup of patients, main body oversizing >15% and suprarenal sealing should be considered.

BACKGROUND: Endovascular repair of aortic aneurysms involving the visceral segment of the aorta often requires placement of a covered bridging stent in the celiac axis (CA). The median arcuate ligament (MAL) is a fibrous arch that unites the diaphragmatic crura on either side of the aortic hiatus. The ligament may compress and distort the celiac artery and result in difficult cannulation, or stenosis and occlusion of the vessel. This study evaluated the influence of the MAL compression on the technical success and the patency of the celiac artery after branched and fenestrated endovascular aortic repair. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of consecutive patients treated electively for complex aneurysms with branched and fenestrated endovascular aortic repair between January 2007 and April 2014. All data were collected prospectively. Analysis of preoperative computed tomography angiography on a three-dimensional workstation determined the presence of MAL compression. Patency of the CA bridging stent was assessed during follow-up by computed tomography angiography and duplex ultrasound evaluation. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the outcomes of patients with MAL (MAL+) and without MAL (MAL-) compression. RESULTS: Of 315 patients treated for aortic disease involving the visceral segment during the study period, 113 had endografts designed with a branch (n = 57) or fenestration (n = 56) for the CA. In 45 patients (39.8%), asymptomatic compression of the CA by the MAL was depicted (MAL+). Complex endovascular techniques were required in this group to access the CA in 16 (14.2%) patients (vs none in the MAL- group; P = .003), which lead to a failed bridging stent implantation in seven patients (6.2%). Increased operative time and dose area product were observed in the MAL+ group, but this did not reach statistical significance. In the MAL+ group, no thrombosis of the CA bridging stents were observed during follow-up; an external compression of the CA bridging stent was depicted in six patients but without hemodynamic effect on duplex ultrasound imaging. In the MAL- group, one CA bridging stent occlusion occurred owing to an embolus from a cardiac source. CONCLUSIONS: MAL compression is associated with good celiac trunk bridging stent patency during follow-up, but with a higher rate of technical difficulties and failed bridging stent implantation during the procedure.

Peripancreatic artery aneurysms are a rare condition, representing <2% of all splanchnic artery aneurysms, and have been significantly related to celiac axis stenosis. While they are most often asymptomatic, those aneurysms have a strong tendency to rupture (52% rupture rate at the initial presentation) and, in this case, the outcome is often dramatic. Given that reports of this disease are rare, appropriate guidelines are difficult to formulate and different treatment strategies have been proposed. Endovascular management seems to be efficient in the large majority of most recent reports, but open surgery still remains necessary for complex cases, especially when associated with celiac axis stenosis. We report a new occurrence of a symptomatic compressive aneurysm related to common bile duct compression that we treated using a hybrid procedure.

BACKGROUND: This study compared early and mid-term results of endovascular treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and pararenal aneurysms (PRAs). METHODS: Using data from a prospective database, patients treated with endografts for AAA and PRA between January 2007 and December 2009 were analyzed. In both groups, mortality, endoleak rates, evolution of renal function, reintervention rate at 30 days and at mid-term follow-up, and aneurysmal sac evolution at 1 year were compared. RESULTS: In total, 379 patients were included: 264 treated for AAA and 115 for PRA. Median follow-up was 24 months (range 12-46 months) in both groups. Risk factors and medical history were comparable in both groups, except for chronic renal failure (higher in the PRA group; P = 0.003). The mortality rates at 30 days were 1% and 3% in the AAA and APR groups, respectively (P = 0.10). During follow-up, the mortality rates were 11.1% and 12.8% in the AAA and PRA groups, respectively (P = 0.72). The reoperation rates at 30 days were 8% and 10% in the AAA and PRA groups, respectively (P = 0.72). During follow-up, the reoperation rates were 9.2% and 9.9% in the AAA and PRA groups, respectively (P = 0.85). At 1 year, retraction of the aneurysmal sac was diagnosed in 48% of the patients in the AAA group and in 56% of the patients in the PRA group (P = 0.41). The incidence rates of new postoperative cases of renal insufficiency were 19.3% and 8.1% in the AAA and PRA groups, respectively (P = 0.008). At 30 days, the endoleak rates were 27.5% and 12.7% in the AAA and PRA groups, respectively (P = 0.001). At 1 year, the endoleak rates were 19.4% and 7.3% in the AAA and PRA groups, respectively (P = 0.007). When type II endoleaks were excluded, the endoleak rates were comparable in both groups (P = 0.5). At 1 year, in both groups, a retraction of the aneurysmal sac was significantly correlated to the absence of endoleak (P = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Early and mid-term results of AAA treatment with standard endografts and PRA treatment with fenestrated endografts are comparable.

Primary salivary gland-type tumors of the lung are rare neoplasms. The pulmonary myoepithelial carcinoma belongs to this group. Since it was first described in 1998, we have identified only seven actual cases reported in the literature so far. We describe the case of a non-smoker 60-year-old Caucasian female, who was referred to our institution for the treatment of three peripheral nodules. Her medical history revealed that a wedge resection, for pulmonary myoepithelial carcinoma, was performed in another center 15 months previously. After resection of the current nodules, the histological findings showed three myoepithelial carcinomas of the lung. There was no vascular or lymphatic invasion. The hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes were negatives. The patient is doing well without any sign of recurrence. Herein we shall discuss the case of a primary pulmonary myoepithelial carcinoma in a female and propose a brief review of the literature.
