21 Open Repair ofCommon Iliac Artery Aneurysm
anastomosed to the left common iliac artery bifurcation. Patient’s postoperative course was uneventful, and he was discharged on the fth postoperative day. He was last seen in the clinic on June 2019, and a duplex imaging showed pat­ent aortic graft with satisfactory distal iliac anas­tomosis without any recurrence of an aneurysm.

Discussion

Isolated aneurysms of the iliac arteries are extremely rare, comprising less than 2% of all patients with aneurysmal disease. The primary etiology is degenerative, but other causes such as mycotic pathology, dissection, trauma, Marfan syndrome, and other collagen vascular diseases may result in the formation of an iliac aneurysm. Repair is recommended for good­risk patients with aneurysms larger than 3.5cm. Both open and endovascular repair has been performed with good results by a number of investigators [1, 2]. The indication for repair is to prevent rupture as operative mortality for a ruptured iliac aneurysm ranges from 30% to 50% [2]. The selection criteria for open repairs versus endovascular repairs depend on the anat­omy of the aneurysm.
Endovascular repair has become the preferred approach in patients presenting with isolated iliac artery aneurysms [3, 4]. If there is an appro­priate neck (usually 15 mm) in the proximal common iliac artery, a unilateral iliac endograft placement is satisfactory. In patients with less than 15mm proximal neck of the common iliac aneurysm, bifurcated aortic endograft is pre­ferred. In most instances, the endograft limb is placed in the external iliac artery landing zone [24]. The ipsilateral internal iliac artery was addressed usually with coil embolization, which can be performed at the same setting or as a sep­arate procedure.
Iliac branch excluder (IBE) device is used to isolate the common iliac artery from systemic blood ow and to preserve the blood ow to external and internal iliac artery in patients with common iliac or aortoiliac aneurysms. External iliac artery diameter of 6.5–25 mm with a seal
zone length of 10 mm and internal iliac artery diameter of 6.5–13.5mm with a seal zone length of at least 10 mm is required to be eligible for IBE device [5]. Iliac branch patency is excellent (89.2% at 10years) with most occlusions occur­ring in patients with internal iliac artery aneu­rysms [5]. IBE endografting is a satisfactory solution for endovascular repair of abdominal aneurysm with associated common iliac aneu­rysms, isolated common iliac, and hypogastric aneurysm.
In this patient, it was decided to perform open infrarenal aortic repair as infrarenal aorta was tortuous, and there was aneurysmal dilata­tion of right common iliac artery. A preferred method of treatment in this instance was aorto­biiliac graft reconstruction although in some instances a unilateral iliac graft interposition may be satisfactory if the infrarenal aorta and the contralateral iliac artery do not show any aneurysmal changes.
Invited Commentary fromJonathan R.Thompson, MD, andIraklis I.Pipinos, MD
The author does an excellent job presenting an open solution to a case which would create chal­lenges from an endovascular perspective. Signicant tortuosity of the right common iliac artery at the origin and dilation at the iliac bifur­cation make an endovascular option less attrac­tive. The wider distribution of the iliac branch endoprosthesis and recent changes in reimburse­ment will make this a viable option for most patients with iliac aneurysms. When an endovas­cular approach is not possible or not ideal, tradi­tional open surgical repair is warranted and should be in the armamentarium of all vascular surgeons.
As the author points out, recommendations for repair are based upon good-risk surgical candidates. For patients with multiple comor­bidities, a hard threshold of repair at 3.5cm for isolated common iliac artery aneurysms might not always be in the patient’s best interest. If preoperative risk assessment straties the

patient into a group with signicant intraopera­tive and perioperative risk of morbidity and mortality, delaying repair to a higher size thresh­old may be appropriate. Expected growth rate for isolated iliac aneurysms is less clear and may vary based upon size [6].
When planning for elective open repair of aneurysms involving the iliac vessels, one should strongly consider the immediate preoperative placement of ureteral stents [7]. While this doesn’t prevent ureteral injuries, in our hands this helps identify a ureter which may otherwise be difcult to nd. Aneurysms, by denition, have an element of inammation, and this can make dissection difcult and ureteral injury more likely, particularly in pelvic aneurysms. While we would approach the patient similar to the authors with a transperitoneal approach given our comfort with the reconstruction for aortobiiliac grafts, others have suggested a retroperitoneal approach, even for right-sided aneurysms [8]. For this particular case, the aorta and proximal com­mon iliac appear relatively normal in size. A good option with less morbidity may have been a retroperitoneal incision with or without recon­struction of the aorta. A limited iliac reconstruc­tion can be performed through a relatively small incision [9].

Physical Examination

A 67-year-old female presented to the emer­gency room of the hospital with severe diffuse abdominal pain and back pain in 2011. She underwent CT scan of the chest and abdomen and was found to have a 10cm transverse diam­eter left common iliac aneurysm with a large retroperitoneal hematoma and 3.5cm right com­mon iliac aneurysm (Fig. 22.1). Aorta was extremely tortuous, and there was evidence of a small right hypogastric artery aneurysm. It was decided to perform open repair of ruptured left common iliac aneurysm.

Procedure

Patient underwent emergent repair of ruptured common iliac aneurysm under general anesthe­sia. A midline incision from the xiphoid to the symphysis pubis was made. During the mobili­zation of the aorta, the blood pressure dropped to 60mm systolic, and immediately a proximal aortic clamp was applied below the renal arter­ies after Bookwalter retractor has been applied. There was venous bleeding from the junction of the right ovarian vein with inferior vena cava which was controlled with 5-0 cardiovascular polypropylene suture (Ethicon Summerville,

NJ). Aorta was mobilized, and right external and right hypogastric arteries were separately dissected and looped with a silastic loop. On the left side, incision was made along a white line of Toldt. A large left iliac aneurysm was exposed, which had ruptured posteriorly. Left external and internal iliac arteries were also mobilized. Patient was given 5000units of hep­arin, and ACT was monitored. Patient needed another supplemental dose of 2500units of hep­arin. An 18mm × 9 mm knitted Dacron graft was selected. Proximal anastomosis was done to the divided infrarenal aorta with 4-0 cardiovas­cular Prolene running suture. Right common iliac artery aneurysm was divided, and anasto­mosis was done of the right limb of the Dacron graft right common iliac artery just above its bifurcation with 4-0 cardiovascular Prolene run­ning suture. The left limb of the graft was brought under the sigmoid colon and anasto­mosed to the left external iliac artery as left hypogastric artery arose 2–3cm from origin of external iliac artery because of the large size of the aneurysm. Therefore, it was decided to ligate the hypogastric artery and perform an end-to­end anastomosis of the left external iliac artery with 4-0 cardiovascular Prolene.
Patient developed ventilator-dependent
respiratory failure and pneumonia which
cleared with antibiotics, ventilatory support, and chest physiotherapy. Patient’s other comor­bidities included hypertension and coronary artery disease. Patient was discharged on the tenth postoperative day to the rehabilitation center of the hospital.
Postoperative CT angiography 5 years later
showed satisfactory aortoiliac reconstruction (Fig.22.2). Patient was seen in the ofce for fol­low- up in 2018 with evidence of mild diastolic heart failure, and she is being managed medically for her heart failure.

Discussion

Emergency open surgical repair of ruptured iliac aneurysms is associated with mortality rate of 10–60% [1]. The mortality is signicantly reduced (5%) following elective repair of an asymptomatic iliac artery aneurysm [2]. The inci­dence of major postoperative complications fol­lowing an open repair ranges from 3 to 22% (16%) [2]. These postoperative complications include lower extremity ischemia from distal embolization, visceral and pelvic ischemia from disruption of hypogastric ow, aortoenteric s­tula, graft infection, and ureteral and iliac vein injury.

In this patient, because of the large size of common iliac aneurysms with associated tortuos­ity, endovascular approach may have been tech­nically difcult as the guide wires may be difcult to advance and valuable time may be lost in obtaining proximal control with ongoing blood loss from the ruptured iliac aneurysm.
Good results using endovascular repair of iso­lated iliac artery aneurysms have been reported from case series by Boules etal. and Chaer etal. [3, 4].
Invited Commentary fromJonathan R.Thompson, MD, andIraklis I.Pipinos, MD
Rupture of a common iliac artery aneurysm, in the acute phase, can sometimes be difcult to distinguish from a ruptured aortic aneurysm due to variation in the size of the retroperitoneal hematoma. Treatment strategies should be based around institutional experience with regard to ruptured aneurysms. Many centers employ an endovascular rst treatment strategy for true rup­tured aneurysms where all patients are taken to the hybrid suite rst [5]. Balloon occlusion of the aorta, analogous to an aortic cross clamp, is used for all unstable patients initially. Endovascular or open therapy is then com­menced accordingly.
When a surgeon is performing a laparotomy for a ruptured aneurysm, it may be useful to obtain supraceliac control of the aorta prior to dissecting out the pararenal segment. As can hap­pen, such as in the patient presented above, dur­ing the initial exposure of the aorta, the blood pressure dropped. Obtaining supraceliac control adds minimal morbidity and can help decrease worry and stress during the dissection. Should aortic injury occur during the dissection, a short period of supraceliac clamping offers minimal morbidity and may decrease the volume changes
and pressure swings if infrarenal control is not yet available. Once the clamp can safely be moved more distally, i.e., to the infrarenal neck, it should be done.
Internal iliac arteries should always be revas­cularized when possible [6]. In the high stress situation of a rupture, the internal and external iliac bifurcation may not always be easily con­trolled to allow for a clear anastomosis. In this scenario it is reasonable to perform the distal anastomosis to the external iliac artery or even the common femoral on the ipsilateral side if the internal iliac is preserved on the contralateral side. The internal iliac can then be ligated with a small risk of complications. The goal for a rup­tured aneurysm should always be life preserva­tion for the patient. Other nuances which are important in elective aneurysm repair, such as inferior mesenteric artery reimplantation, acces­sory renal artery, preservation, etc., are less important considerations during a ruptured aneurysm.

Physical Examination

A 47-year-old male presented to the hospital in January 2018 with pain in the left groin and left lower extremity of 2 weeks duration. Patient also complained of left ank pain. Non-contrast CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a mass in the left pelvis with hydronephrosis and hydroure­ter. Duplex venous studies showed bilateral deep venous thrombosis involving the femoral and popliteal veins. Past medical history was positive for hypertension, clipping of the intercranial aneurysm, with history of intracerebral hemor­rhage in 2014, seizure disorder, and organic mood disorder. CTA of the abdomen and pelvis showed a large left hypogastric aneurysm. Mycotic etiol­ogy was suspected but could not be proven. WBC­labeled indium scan was negative for infection.

Procedure

Patient underwent coil embolization (AZUR® detachable coils, tornado coils). Left hypogastric artery was selected following puncture of the right femoral artery with insertion of 6 French sheath. Microcatheter (2.8 French PROGREAT® cathe­ter – Terumo Somerset, NJ) was used to select superior and inferior gluteal branches of the hypogastric artery. Trull® glue and Amplatzer occluder™ plug embolization of the left internal iliac artery aneurysm was performed on January
18, 2018 (Fig.23.1), followed by deployment of a 9 mm × 59 mm GORE Endoprosthesis graft (W. L. Gore & Associates, Newark, DE) from the left common iliac artery to the mid-external iliac artery (Fig. 23.2). Right femoral artery was closed with an Angio-Seal™ closure device.
Patient was lost to follow up but returned to emergency room in February 2019 with severe back pain and abdominal pain. CTA of the abdo­men and pelvis revealed ruptured left common iliac artery aneurysm and hypogastric aneurysm with a large retroperitoneal hematoma with associated left hydronephrosis (Fig. 23.3). He also noticed weakness to the left lower extrem­ity and his inability to put weight on the left lower extremity. Patient was taken to the operat­ing room on emergency basis and through a transperitoneal midline incision. Extensive venous congestion in the retroperitoneal was encountered. Inferior mesenteric vein was ligated and divided. Aorta was mobilized below the renal arteries. Inferior mesenteric artery was looped with silastic loop. Infrarenal aorta was divided; it was small in caliber without any evi­dence of atheromatous plaque. The distal aorta was ligated with 16 × 8mm knitted Dacron graft (rifampin soaked) and was sutured end to end to the infrarenal aorta, and distal anastomosis was performed in an end-to-side fashion to the com­mon femoral arteries. Left common and hypo­gastric artery (branches) was ligated with 3-0

microorganism although gram stain was positive for polymorphic neutrophils. Patient was fol­lowed in the ofce, the left lower quadrant drain was ultimately removed, he had some induration of the left groin, and he was continued on apixa­ban (Eliquis) for deep venous thrombosis. Patient did not come for follow-up for the next 3 months and presented to an outside hospital with mycotic aneurysm of the left groin (Fig.23.5 and 23.6). There was no evidence of infection or any abnor­mality involving the aortic graft or the right limb. Patient underwent ligation of the left femoral mycotic aneurysm, application of wound vac, and a left axillofemoral graft performed to the proximal supercial femoral artery in July 2019.
In August 2019 the patient underwent excision
of aorto-bifemoral graft and small bowel resec-

tion. Right ureteral stent was placed, and aorto­right iliac bypass was performed using 11 mm cryopreserved graft. Small bowel resection became necessary due to injury sustained during lysis of the adhesions. Patch angioplasty of the right common femoral artery was performed. Omental pedicle graft was used to cover the aor­toiliac bypass graft, and wound vac was applied followed by Vicryl mesh which was placed. This was followed by skin closure 1 week later.

and probable intra-abdominal graft infection. Patient underwent laparotomy with pre-op place­ment of ureteral stents. Due to extensive small bowel adhesions, there was an injury to the small intestine which was repaired. Aortofemoral Dacron graft was explanted, and reconstruction was performed with cryopreserved arterial homo­graft. Patient was continued on long-term antibi­otics and transferred to an extended care facility after 5weeks stay in the hospital.

Discussion

Mycotic aneurysms involving the aorta and iliac arteries are quite infrequent. They are reported to be around 1% of all aortic and iliac aneurysms [12]. Common organisms responsible for mycotic infection include Salmonella species and E. coli [1, 2]. However, the optimal surgical man- agement of infrarenal mycotic aortic and iliac aneurysms remains controversial from a surgical point of view. Extra-anatomic reconstruction is considered as a treatment of choice as it avoids the use of prosthetic grafts in infected tissues. However, axillobifemoral grafts have low patency rates, and there is risk of aortic stump bleeding.
Alternatively, in situ reconstruction is being increasingly used for infected aortic iliac grafts with the use of deep veins (femoral and popliteal veins) as well as cryopreserved veins [2]. However, harvesting of femoral and popliteal veins is contraindicated in the presence of acute emergency such as rupture of the aneurysm [2]. Rifampicin is active against Staphylococcus; therefore rifampicin-soaked grafts have shown promise for patients with mycotic and aortic iliac aneurysms as well as infected prosthetic graft. Cryopreserved vein grafts are also used; however there is a risk of rupture as well as aneurysmal degeneration in these grafts. This case illustrates that multiple operations often become necessary for the repair of mycotic aneurysms involving aorta and iliac arteries with associated high mor­bidity and mortality. Endovascular repair for infected abdominal aortic and iliac aneurysms is being used more frequently however; this repair should be considered as a bridge to a denitive repair. Long-term results of endovascular repair in management of complex mycotic aneurysm are not known.
This case illustrates that infection involving one limb of Dacron graft almost always involves the contralateral limb, thus necessitating total graft explantation. In patients where only one limb was removed, long-term follow-up is neces­sary in order to be certain that contralateral limb remains uninvolved.

Rupture ofHypogastric Artery Aneurysm
Hypogastric artery aneurysms are usually associ­ated with aortic and common iliac aneurysm and rarely occur in isolation [16]. Most hypogastric aneurysms are incidentally detected on imaging of the abdomen or pelvis for unrelated com­plaints. Those that present in extremis are associ­ated with acute rupture and carry a high mortality rate [1, 2].

Physical Examination

24
A 90-year-old male presented to his primary care physician with complaints of left lower quadrant pain and bulging mass. On physical examination patient was found to have a palpable mass in the left lower quadrant of the abdomen. A computer­ized tomographic scan (CT scan) of the abdomen demonstrated a left spigelian hernia. A large inci­dental right internal iliac artery aneurysm measur­ing 4.4 × 5.5cm in cross section and extending approximately 5.3cm in cranio-caudal length was detected. Moderate thrombus was noted in aneu­rysmal wall (Fig.24.1 and 24.2). CT angiography did not show accompanying aortic aneurysm.

noted, along with a normal right common iliac artery. Two tornado coils 14 × 8mm followed by 14 × 6mm were deployed into the outow tracts of the aneurysm. We were unable to completely occlude the outow vessels. However, near­complete occlusion was obtained, and we believed that thrombosis following inow occlu­sion would result in satisfactory outcome. An Amplatzer™ vascular plug 16mm × 12mm was deployed at the mouth of the aneurysm. Post­deployment images demonstrated adequate exclusion of the aneurysm.
