简要总结
Ten percent of the population above 60 years develops an aortic abdominal aneurysm. In case of rupture, this pathology leads to death in more than 70% of the cases.
Over the past ten years, Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) has been the most used technique for elective treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) in patients with a favorable anatomy. But despite excellent postoperative results with a significant reduction of mortality , a close follow-up of these patients is mandatory to detect any potential endoleaks particularly in patients with a long-life expectancy.
Failed Endovascular Infrarenal Aortic Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) with development of a proximal endoleak exposes the patient to the risk of rupture and must be treated. This type of endoleaks are often related to dilatation of the proximal neck of the AAA, and of the suprarenal aorta, making the use of any aortic fixation system, or uncovered stent ineffective. In these cases, open surgical conversion with stent graft removal is possible but at the price of a significant morbidity and mortality.
The alternative is the use of a fenestrated or branched stent graft (F/BEVAR) extending the proximal sealing zone to a non-diseased aorta.
The goal of this study was to evaluate the technical feasibility, early and midterm outcomes of (F/BEVAR) in patients with a proximal endoleak following a standard EVAR.
The investigators performed a multicentre study between January 2010 and December 2019 in 8 French University Centres which included 85 patients with 3 years of post operative follow-up.
详细描述
Between January 2010 and December 2019, all patients (n=85) who developed after EVAR, a secondary type IA endoleak, and received a F/BEVAR stent graft were entered in a prospective multicentre study bringing together 8 French university centres.
Type IA secondary endoleak was defined as an endoleak appearing during follow-up, but absent on computed tomography angiography (CTA) within 30 days of EVAR. All aetiologies leading to the development of this endoleak were recorded in the study, including any abnormality of the infra-renal stent graft, any aneurysmal evolution of the neck of the infra-renal aneurysm, and any aneurysmal evolutionof the inter-renal or thoracoabdominal aorta.
All patients gave their informed consent for the operation. Following the European regulation on data management, the database was anonymised, upon completion.
All patients had a preoperative assessment of cardiac, renal, respiratory function and underwent an ASA physical status classification. All preoperative imaging were performed on <1.5 mm slices.
All F/BEVAR were performed using a COOK Zenith stent graft (Cook Medical Inc. Bloomington, Ind). The number of fenestrations used was based on the preoperative sizing made from 3D-CTA reconstructions. The investigators only used on-label F/BEVARs which were approved by the Zenith cook planning centre.
