Multiple periscope and chimney grafts to treat ruptured thoracoabdominal and pararenal aortic aneurysms
2011
Purpose: To report midterm outcomes after urgent endovascular repair of ruptured pararenal or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms using multiple periscope and chimney grafts to preserve renovisceral branch perfusion and facilitate aneurysm exclusion. Methods: Nine consecutive men (mean age 72614 years, range 40–88) presenting with ruptured thoracoabdominal (n56), pararenal (n52), or infrarenal (n51) aortic aneurysm underwent urgent endovascular repair with at least 1 periscope graft delivered via a transfemoral access; chimney grafts were installed from an axillary access. In all, 17 periscope and 7 chimney grafts were used to reperfuse 11 renal and 13 visceral arteries in the 9 patients. The…
Less invasive (common) femoral artery aneurysm repair using endografts and limited dissection
2013
Objective We report our experience with the treatment of femoral artery aneurysms (FAAs) under local anaesthesia with limited dissection, using endografts to facilitate the proximal anastomosis and some distal anastomoses. Method Between January 2006 and December 2010, six males, mean age 72 years (range, 65–80 years) with FAAs were treated at the University Hospital of Zurich. All operations were performed under local anaesthesia with analgosedation, except for one performed under spinal anaesthesia. After limited dissection and puncture of the anterior wall of the FAA, a sheath and a self-expanding endograft were introduced over a guide wire and with fluoroscopy they were guided intralumi…
Aneurismas complejos de la aorta abdominal: cirugía abierta frente a exclusión endovascular avanzada. Estudio comparativo.
2015
Justificación del estudio e hipótesis de trabajo: la enfermedad aneurismática de la aorta se estima que afecta al 2%-7% de los varones mayores de 60 años. Dichas estimaciones, extrapoladas a la población de España, se corresponderían con 140.000-350.000 personas portadoras de una aneurisma de aorta abdominal. En siete de cada cien personas acaece la rotura del aneurisma, siendo actualmente la décima causa de muerte en varones mayores de 55 años. En aquellos pacientes de alto riesgo para la cirugía abierta en los que la exclusión endovascular con endoprótesis de sellado infrarrenal está contraindicada por mala calidad del cuello aneurismático, la exclusión endovascular avanzada con endopróte…
Classification of Chimney EVAR-Related Endoleaks: Insights from the PERICLES Registry
2017
Juxtarenal aortic aneurysms (JAAs) pose significant challenges for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). A short or absent infrarenal neck typically excludes standard EVAR as a viable or reasonable treatment option. In this context, the use of chimney grafts (chEVAR) is gaining in popularity and applicability. These grafts are designed to course in the aortic lumen outside the main stent-graft to maintain normal perfusion to the involved target branches. As such, they may represent a promising and less resource-intensive option for management of JAAs. However, this technical strategy is not without challenges of its own, particularly the inevitable creation of “gutters” that result from the …
