Endovascular treatment of a giant infected ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm with occlusion device and coil embolization

ABSTRACT: A patient with recurrent sepsis caused by an infected ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm was deemed unsuitable for surgery after the heart team evaluation. He successfully underwent percutaneous treatment with a combination of a septal occlusion device and coil embolization and remained free of sepsis 24 months after implantation.

Surgical management of a giant ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm.

Project description:Aortic pseudoaneurysm is a rare, life-threatening complication after cardiac or aortic root surgery. When a pseudoaneurysm has eroded bony structures in the chest, the surgeon's challenge is to choose the safest approach for sternotomy. Herein, we report the case of a 74-year-old woman who presented with a giant pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta, 8 years after undergoing aortic valve replacement. The 8.9×5.8-cm formation arose in the anterior aortic sinus, extended to the retrosternal region, exerted mass effect on the main pulmonary artery, and eroded the bony structures of the sternum and medial upper chest. A new aortic valved tissue conduit was placed, and the coronary arteries were reimplanted. The patient recovered without neurologic sequelae. We discuss the characteristics of this case and explain our surgical decisions.

Giant saphenous vein graft pseudoaneurysm: treatment with a vascular occlusion device.

Project description:We report the case of a 74-year old male who was evaluated for progressively enlarging right heart border on serial chest radiographs. Computed tomography of the chest revealed a pseudoaneurysm arising from the saphenous vein graft (SVG) to the posterior descending artery with mass effect on the right atrium. Coronary angiography showed severely compromised distal flow and an angiographically small territory at risk. Using a minimally invasive, catheter-based approach, an Amplatzer Vascular Plug II occlusion device was utilized successfully for embolizing the SVG pseudoaneurysm.

Giant coronary pseudoaneurysm associated with stent fracture treated successfully with coil embolization and a vascular plug.

Project description:A 59-year-old man with acute cholangitis was referred to us because of a coronary artery aneurysm that was incidentally detected on contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Intravascular ultrasonography showed a loss of vascular layers and complete stent fracture, which was suggestive of a pseudoaneurysm. After some management protocols, such as observation, covered stent implantation, and surgical treatment, had failed, we treated the pseudoaneurysm successfully using coil embolization and a vascular plug. There were no complications during the perioperative period. We suggest that, if conventional management fails, treatment with coil embolization and a vascular plug should be considered.Learning objectiveA rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention resulting from stent fracture is a coronary artery aneurysm. Here, we discuss the chronic complications of stent implantation and discuss the optimal management strategy for coronary pseudoaneurysms. Further, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each strategy.

Clinical efficacy of coil embolization in treating pseudoaneurysm post-Whipple operation.

Project description:The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of angiography and coil embolization for pseudoaneurysm post-pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). A total of 17 patients with gastrointestinal or abdominal hemorrhage after PD were included in the present study. Angiography was performed on the celiac artery, common hepatic artery, splenic artery, gastroduodenal artery and superior mesenteric artery to determine the size of the pseudoaneurysm, the parent artery and its collateral branches. A variety of embolization techniques have been applied to embolize pseudoaneurysm, including the sac packing technique, proximal embolization, exclusion technique and sandwich technique. Different techniques with coils were used for embolization and the clinical effects of embolization were analyzed. A total of 18 pseudoaneurysms were identified in 17 patients. In 2 patients, severe technical complications occurred, including migration of the coil and rupture of pseudoaneurysm, and one of them died, which may have been associated with this complication. No serious clinical complications were observed in the other patients. A total of 7 patients had mild clinical complications, including mild abdominal and dorsal pain, which were alleviated after symptomatic management. A total of 15 patients with definite pseudoaneurysm were successfully embolized without re-bleeding and complications. The clinical success rate was 94.1% (16/17). In conclusion, a variety of embolization techniques may be applied for the treatment of pseudoaneurysm after PD, which have high technical and clinical success rates and small trauma. It is recommended in emergency situations, but care should be taken to avoid serious technical complications.

Coil embolization for ruptured coronary pseudoaneurysm causing haemopericardium: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCoronary artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare disease that can rupture and cause haemopericardium. It can occur principally as a complication after coronary artery instrumentation, but it can also result from trauma.Case summaryA 15-year-old male patient with a history of spontaneous pneumothoraces treated twice with video-assisted thoracoscopic thoracic surgery presented with pericarditis and increasing haemopericardium. During the hospitalization, he had developed cardiogenic shock and he underwent emergent pericardiocentesis. Coronary angiography revealed a small right coronary artery pseudoaneurysm. We successfully coil embolized the pseudoaneurysm.DiscussionThis is a rare case of a ruptured coronary artery pseudoaneurysm associated with prior tube thoracostomy. The treatments for a coronary pseudoaneurysm should be tailored based on the pathologic and anatomical characteristics.

Coil embolization of a thoracic aorta hematoma with branch artery pseudoaneurysm - case report.

Project description:BACKGROUND:A thoracic aorta hematoma with branch artery pseudonaneurysm is a very rare complication of thoraric blunt trauma. The standard treatment of this type of injury is aortic endograft placement. CASE PRESENTATION:We present a case in which a thoracic aorta hematoma with branch artery pseudoaneurysm was treated with coil embolization instead of endografting. CONCLUSIONS:Coil embolization of aortic injuries may be a safe and definitive treatment alternative in selected cases. This technique has the potential to reduce the risk of procedure-related complications.

Delayed Endovascular Coil Extrusion following Internal Carotid Artery Embolization.

Project description:Internal carotid artery injury is a rare and devastating complication of endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery that has an associated mortality rate of 15%. This case describes a patient who developed massive epistaxis following routine sinus surgery and was eventually diagnosed with a pseudoaneurysm of the cavernous internal carotid artery. Endovascular coiling and Onyx (Covidien, Irvine, California, United States) liquid embolization were ultimately used to completely occlude the internal carotid artery with resolution of bleeding; however, the patient had an unexpected late complication of coil extrusion through the pseudoaneurysm sac into the sphenoid sinus and nasal cavity. The endoscopic skull base team safely excised the coils endoscopically without recurrent bleeding. We describe the multidisciplinary operative management of this case of endovascular coil extrusion to increase awareness of this potentially life-threatening complication.
