Endovascular treatment of paravisceral mycotic aneurysm: Chimmeny endovascular sealing the end of de road.

ABSTRACT: Open surgery is the elective treatment for mycotic aneurysms of the aorta. This surgery consists of resection of the aneurysm, debridement and revascularization with an in situ or extra-anatomic bypass. Even when surgery has been successful, the morbi-mortality is raised and the endovascular treatment has become an alternative for specific patients. When mycotic aneurysms involved the visceral arteries, more complex techniques are necessary such as fenestrated endovascular aortic repair or chimmeny endovascular aortic repair and the most frequent complications of this are endoleaks and oclussion the visceral arteries. We present a case of a pacient with a paravisceral abdominal mycotic aneurysms that was result with 2 chimney technique (in the right renal and superior mesenteric arteries) and a single Nellix EVAS (Endologix, Irvine, Calif) of 12 cm long without evidence of endoleaks in the follow-up.

Open conversion after Nellix endovascular aneurysm sealing.

Project description:The Nellix endovascular aneurysm sealing system (Endologix, Irvine, Calif) was presented as a novel concept in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm. After numerous adverse events, the device was voluntarily withdrawn from the market by the manufacturer. This video describes the technical approach of a successful explantation of the Nellix endograft in a patient who underwent endovascular aneurysm sealing for abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Development of New Endovascular Devices for Aneurysm Treatment.

Project description:Since the first use of the Guglielmi detachable coil system for cerebral aneurysm embolization in 1990, various endovascular methods have been developed to treat large numbers of aneurysms. The main strategic and technical modifications introduced to date include balloon-assisted coil embolization, stent-assisted coil embolization, flow diverters, and flow disrupters. The development and introduction of such devices have been so persistent and rapid that new devices are being approved worldwide even before the earlier ones become available in some countries. However, even if some patient populations may possibly benefit from earlier introduction of new devices, the approval authorities should balance the available evidence of the safety and effectiveness of novel devices. This review aims to provide an overview of the recent innovations in endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms and a brief review of market access policies and regulations for importing high-risk medical devices, such as those used for endovascular aneurysm management, which correspond to class III devices, as defined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. We focus on the current situation in Korea and compare it with that in other Asian countries, such as China and Japan.

Reverse slider technique using the Endurant stent graft for accurate proximal sealing in hostile neck endovascular aneurysm repair.

Project description:This report introduces the reverse slider technique to obtain proximal sealing effectively in endovascular aneurysm repair in short or angulated necks. It is the deployment process of the stent graft main body by repeatedly rotating and reversing the external slider with slight loosening of the suprarenal stent. This method helps obtain accurate placement of the proximal edge and effective sealing on the greater curvature side even in short and angulated necks. It is an effective method of extending the proximal sealing zone. It is gained by changing the deployment process with the Endurant stent graft (Medtronic, Santa Rosa, Calif) as an existing popular device.

Mycotic Aneurysm Caused by Streptococcus constellatus subsp. constellatus.

Project description:An infected mycotic aneurysm due to Streptococcus constellatus subsp. constellatus has not previously been reported. We report on this condition in an 87-year-old woman who had aggravating abdominal pain and a large fusiform aneurysm over the thoracic-abdominal aorta with mural thrombus. Isolates from two sets of blood cultures and the debrided tissue were identified as S. constellatus subsp. constellatus by their biochemical reaction profiles, compatible 16S rRNA gene sequencing results, and sequencing results for the partial groESL gene and the 16S-23S intergenic spacer region.

Physiological Appearance of Hybrid FDG-Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Imaging Following Uncomplicated Endovascular Aneurysm Sealing Using the Nellix Endoprosthesis.

Project description:Purpose: To investigate the physiological uptake of hybrid fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) before and after an uncomplicated endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) procedure as a possible tool to diagnose EVAS graft infection and differentiate from postimplantation syndrome. Materials and Methods: Eight consecutive male patients (median age 78 years) scheduled for elective EVAS were included in the prospective study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02349100). FDG-PET/CT scans were performed in all patients before the procedure and 6 weeks after EVAS. The abdominal aorta was analyzed in 4 regions: suprarenal, infrarenal neck, aneurysm sac, and iliac. The following parameters were obtained for each region: standard uptake value (SUV), tissue to background ratio (TBR), and visual examination of FDG uptake to ascertain its distribution. Demographic data were obtained from medical files and scored based on reporting standards. Results: Visual examination showed no difference between pre- and postprocedure FDG uptake, which was homogenous. In the suprarenal region no significant pre- and postprocedure differences were observed for the SUV and TBR parameters. The infrarenal neck region showed a significant decrease in the SUV and no significant decrease in the TBR. The aneurysm sac and iliac regions both showed a significant decrease in SUV and TBR between the pre- and postprocedure scans. Conclusion: Physiological FDG uptake after EVAS was stable or decreased with regard to the preprocedure measurements. Future research is needed to assess the applicability and cutoff values of FDG-PET/CT scanning to detect endograft infection after EVAS.

Successful endovascular treatment of a recurrent giant celiac artery aneurysm.

Project description:Visceral artery aneurysms are very rare and aneurysms of the celiac trunk are the rarest ones: they are in most cases asymptomatic and their detection is frequently incidental. In this article we report the case of a man affected by severe abdominal pain with a huge aneurysm of the celiac trunk, first successfully treated with coil embolization, but, after 10 months, another endovascular embolization was required for deployment of the metallic coils previously released, ahead into the fund of the sac with recanalization of the aneurysm. A second endovascular treatment was performed with other coils and Amplatzer-Plug. The high risk of rupture makes treatment of such aneurysms mandatory and surgery is still considered the gold standard therapy of VAA, but, due to its high morbidity and mortality risks, in the last years, it has been widely replaced by endovascular embolization. An effective endovascular embolization requires not only the complete filling of the aneurysmal sac, but also the complete vascular exclusion of its in-flow and out-flow tracts, to reduce the risk of its anterograde or retrograde reperfusion.

Mycotic aneurysm caused by Graphium species in a dog.

Project description:A 10-year-old castrated male mixed-breed dog exhibited vomiting, lethargy and anorexia. An abdominal ultrasound examination revealed a focal dilation of the abdominal aorta. The dog died 2 days after examination, and necropsy revealed a ruptured aneurysm at the abdominal aorta between the kidneys. Histological examination revealed severe granulomatous and necrotizing pan-arteritis with fungal organisms. Graphium species was identified through DNA sequence analysis of the PCR product from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples. To our knowledge, this is the first report of aortic aneurysm caused by Graphium species in a dog. Sequence was submitted to the DNA Data Bank of Japan with the accession number LC007972.
