Endovascular Aneurysm Repair Followed by Multiple Interventions forEndoleaks
63
History andProcedures
A 78-year-old male underwent endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) with AneuRx graft for an enlarging 5.2 cm (transverse/AP diameter) abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in April 2007. In 2006, the AAA measured 4.4cm in transverse diameter. The main body of the AneuRx graft (Medtronic, Dublin Ireland) was deployed from the right femoral artery (28×16×135mm), con­tralateral iliac limb 18×18×115mm, and ipsi­lateral iliac extension limb 18 × 18 × 55 mm. Completion aortogram showed satisfactory ll­ing of both renal arteries and hypogastric arteries. Patient was followed by CTA of the abdomen and pelvis and duplex ultrasound studies, and the aneurysm sac remained stable on a 6-month basis (alternate CTA with ultrasound). CTA of the abdomen and pelvis in August 2010 showed Type II endoleak (Fig.63.1).
During postoperative follow-up, aneurysm sac remained stable with no evidence of endoleak until August 2010, aneurysm sac increased in size to 5.6×5.6cm, and there was increasing size of endoleak 2.8×1.3cm most probably from the iliolumbar artery on the left side. Therefore, in September 2010, patient underwent coil emboli­zation of the iliolumbar artery by placing an Omniush catheter in the right common iliac artery and selecting the hypogastric artery. We used a 25-cm-long 5 F sheath to engage the Kumpe catheter and the glidewire into the hypo-
gastric artery. Using glidewire we were able to selectively engage the iliolumbar artery, and con­trast injection showed the site of endoleak. Two MReye® 3 × 2 Embolization Coils (Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN, USA) were placed followed by three Nester® Embolization Coils (Cook Medical) 4×14mm (Fig.63.2). A follow­ up completion arteriogram showed successful embolization of the iliolumbar artery. The aneu­rysm sac remained stable for 6-month ultrasound performed four times. In July 2012, the aneurysm sac measured 5.6cm×5cm with demonstration of Type II endoleak (no change in the size of aneurysm sac).

63 Endovascular Aneurysm Repair Followed by Multiple Interventions forEndoleaks
In March 2015, aneurysm sac enlarged to 6cm ×5.8 cm, and patient underwent superior mesenteric artery arteriogram and bilateral hypo­gastric arteriogram. No other source of endoleak was identied except from the iliolumbar artery on the left side. The right hypogastric artery injection did not show any evidence of endoleak. Following a puncture of the left femoral artery, RIM catheter was placed in the hypogastric artery and the iliolumbar artery was then engaged. Using a PROGREAT® catheter (Terumo Interventional Systems, Somerset, NJ, USA) with a micro 0.018 wire, the catheter was advanced to the site of the endoleak. Subsequently, three 3 mm x 14 cm long microcoils were deployed with a micropusher. Completion run showed satisfactory embolization with absent lling of the iliolumbar artery.
Follow-up CTA examination of the abdomen and pelvis showed satisfactory result with no evi­dence of Type II endoleak. In March 2018, CTA of the abdomen and pelvis showed aneurysm sac of 6.3 × 6.1 cm with no denitive evidence of endoleak. There was migration of the AneuRx graft distal to the renal arteries; the distance from the superior end of the graft increased to 1.5cm from the lowest renal artery. Patient underwent a follow- up CTA of the abdomen and pelvis on September 2018, the aneurysm sac further enlarged to 6.7 × 6.3 cm, and now a Type IA endoleak became obvious. Patient underwent repair of Type IA endoleak by placing an
Endurant aortic extension cuff (32×32×49mm) with balloon angioplasty with Reliant™ Stent Graft Balloon (Medtronic) of the aortic cuff. Completion run showed resolution of the Type IA endoleak (Fig.63.3). Patient had been followed by duplex ultrasound of the abdominal aorta in June 2019, and the last two measurements of the aneurysm sac have remained stable (6.7×6.3cm) with no demonstration of endoleak (September
2019).

Discussion

The management of endoleak following EVAR continues to present dilemmas for vascular sur­geons. There is uniform consensus regarding the merit of prompt treatment of Type I and III endoleaks. The natural history of Type II endole­aks remains a matter of considerable debate. Recent studies have demonstrated that nearly 20% of early Type II endoleaks persist, and that persistent Type II endoleaks are associated with secondary interventions, sac enlargement, and rupture of the AAA [14].
Type I endoleaks result from failure of the stent graft to achieve a circumferential seal at the proximal (IA) or distal (IB) attachment sites. This results in pressurization of the sac at the sys­temic blood pressure level with risk of rupture. With advances in EVAR technology and increas­ing experience of the interventionalists, patients

with hostile neck anatomy (short, angulated, reversed tapered neck, circumferential thrombus, or calcication) which required open AAA repair in the past can now be treated with endovascular means albeit with increased risk of Type IA endoleak. Completion arteriography following EVAR and cone beam computed tomography has improved sensitivity for intraoperative detection of Type IA endoleaks. Late Type IA endoleaks result from endograft failure at the proximal seal zone or migration especially in patients with hos­tile aortic neck anatomy. Zhou etal. evaluated 213 consecutive patients retrospectively who underwent EVAR at a referral Veterans Administration medical center, and they excluded patients with less than 1 year follow-up [4]. Their analysis included 183 patients, with a mean fol­low-up of 53months (range 12–141months); of these 48 patients (26%) had endoleaks and 31 (17%) had aneurysm sac progression. The mean diagnosis time for non-Type II (n=14) endoleak was 45 months, and 71% were diagnosed less than 1 year after EVAR. An isolated Type II endoleak was detected in 34 patients at an aver­age of 14.4 months (range 0–76 months) after EVAR, 41% of which were detected less than 1 year after EVAR. They observed that 59% of patients with a Type II endoleak had a signicant
enlargement of aneurysm sac. Delayed Type II endoleaks were signicantly associated with sac enlargement as compared to early Type II endole­aks [4].
The effectiveness of intervention for Type II endoleaks is debatable. Sarac etal. reported satis­factory early results with coil embolization for early Type II endoleaks [2]. They performed 140 embolization procedures in 95 patients (2000–
2008). A signicant number of patients required multiple interventions with eight patients requir­ing explantation of the graft. Aziz etal. observed that percutaneous intervention for Type II endoleak did not appear after the rate of aneurysm sac growth and most of their patients had persis­tent or recurrent endoleaks [3]. Jones et al. detected 164 patients with Type II endoleaks [1]. Out of 1873 patients who underwent EVAR between 1994–2005 131 (79.9%) developed early Type II endoleaks with complete resolution at less than 6 months. Persistent Type II endoleaks occurred in 33 patients with persistent Type II endoleaks with aneurysm rupture in four patients. Transarterial coil embolization and direct sac embolization are two techniques for patients with lumbar artery-related Type II endoleaks, and the latter is preferred by most investigators. Agents such as Onyx® glue (ev3, Inc., Bovine, CA, USA)
282

or liquid embolic material (n-butyl cyanoacrylate monomer) are agents used for embolization.
Recently, Madigan et al. reported that most Type II endoleaks have a benign natural history, but 6–8% are associated with sac enlargement [5]. They reported 130 patients with Type II endoleak, with a median time of 6.9±3.5years (mean 2.3±1.1years); 118 had initial treatment for primary Type II endoleak; of 118 treated for Type II endoleak, 26 (22%) required treatment for delayed Type I endoleak and Type III endoleak. Those patients with delayed Type I and III endoleaks had a lower successful treatment rate than those with isolated Type II endoleaks. They concluded that failed attempt at treating Type II endoleaks for rapid sac growth rate (5mm a year or greater) should raise the suspicion of a delayed Type I or III endoleak [5].
The patient in this report had two interven­tions for Type II endoleak; 9 years after index procedure (EVAR), he required correction of Type IA endoleak in 2018. It is possible that Type IA endoleak was not detected earlier, and after treatment of Type II endoleaks, Type I endoleak became obvious. In this patient, an important cause of Type IA endoleak was migration of the
rst-generation endograft (AneuRx) which lack proximal xation. This case illustrated the need for continuous surveillance of endografts with imaging studies (CTA of the abdomen and/or duplex ultrasound of the abdomen).

Aortic Neck Rupture During Endovascular Aneurysm Repair inaPatient withaHorseshoe Kidney
64
History andProcedures
A 75-year-old female was found to have 6.0cm infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with a horseshoe kidney (Fig. 64.1). Medical comorbidities included hypertension and obe­sity (BMI 42). She underwent endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) on October 21, 2010, under spinal anesthesia with AneuRx graft (Medtronic, Dublin Ireland). Main body of the stent graft was deployed from the right side (26×15×135mm) as well as right iliac exten­sion limb (15× 15 × 85mm) and contralateral
iliac limb (15 × 15 × 115 mm). Following Reliant™ (Medtronic) balloon angioplasty of the aortic neck, patient became hypotensive (systolic blood pressure 80 mmHg), and con­trast injection through the 16F sheath showed extravasation of the contrast at the aortic neck (Fig.64.2). Immediately the aortic balloon was inated in the suprarenal segment of the aorta, and 26×26× 40 mm AneuRx aortic cuff was placed close to the opening of the left renal artery which was lower than the right renal artery. Postoperative CTA scan of the abdomen and pelvis (second postoperative day) showed

satisfactory exclusion of the aneurysm without endoleak (Fig.64.3). The hematoma surround­ing the aortic neck was small in size. Patient underwent follow-up imaging with CTA of the abdomen and duplex ultrasound of the abdomen every 6 months (alternating CTA with duplex ultrasound) which showed continuous shrinkage of the aneurysm sac, and on CTA performed in July 2012, aneurysm sac measured 3.5×3.8cm. Patient underwent CTA of the abdomen and pel­vis in July 2018 which showed aneurysm sac

enlargement (5.3 × 5.9 cm) with Type II endoleak from the renal artery supplying the isthmus of the horseshoe kidney. There was also a strong suspicion of a Type IA endoleak (Fig. 64.4). Patient was taken to the operating room in August 2018; via right femoral artery and a left brachial approach, coil embolization of the proximal false aneurysm sac was per­formed (Fig. 64.5). An iCAST™ (Atrium, Charlotte NC) 6×38mm stent with Endurant™ (Medtronic) cuff 32×32×49mm was deployed at the same time (snorkel technique). The wire was passed into the left renal artery via brachial artery approach, and the Endurant cuff was deployed through the femoral approach.
Completion arteriogram showed resolution of
Type IA endoleak (Fig. 64.6). Follow-up CTA scan in September 2018 showed stable aneurysm sac (5.9×5.3cm) with persistent Type II endoleak from arterial branch of the isthmus of the kidney. In March 2019, aneurysm sac enlarged to
6.2×5.8cm, and 6 months later (September 2019)
the aneurysm sac measured 6.2 × 5.8 cm with probable Type II endoleak arising from either infe­rior mesenteric artery or accessory renal artery arising from the isthmus of the kidney (Fig.64.7).
Patient underwent abdominal aortogram,
superior mesenteric arteriogram, and bilateral hypogastric arteriogram in January, 2020. There was no evidence of Type I, II, or III endoleak.

Discussion

Iliac rupture, due to its small caliber, calcica­tion, and tortuosity during EVAR and TEVAR, has been previously reported. Aortic rupture dur­ing EVAR is relatively uncommon. In this patient, overzealous ination of the Reliant balloon at the aortic neck may have contributed to aortic rup­ture. Aortic/iliac rupture during EVAR should be immediately managed by proximal aortic balloon ination and placement of a covered stent at the site of rupture [1, 2].
The appearance of Type IA endoleak 8 years later is related to a probable increase in the aortic neck diameter and lack of proximal xation in rst-generation grafts (AneuRx). Proximal zone failures may be associated with a placement of aortic extender cuff at the time of index operation as was present in this patient. Aneurysm sac has shown small enlargement even after correction of Type IA endoleak, and if this trend persists, embolization of the aneurysm sac preferably by translumbar approach will be considered. In this patient, because of 2mm aortic neck, fenestrated graft was not considered as an option, and a snor­kel technique with iCAST stent in the left renal artery was preferred. Snorkel/chimney tech­niques have been developed to address the lack of widespread availability and manufacturing limi­tations with branched/fenestrated devices for the treatment of AAA with challenging aortic neck
anatomy and associated signicant medical comorbidities. Ullrey etal. reported 60 patients who underwent ch. EVAR with a total of 111 snorkel stents (97 renal, 12 superior mesenteric artery, and 2 celiac) and observed that early gutter- related Type I endoleaks were noted in 30% [1]. Follow-up imaging revealed spontane­ous resolution of these gutter endoleaks in 88.4% of patients at 18 months. Relatively few ch. EVAR patients require reintervention related to gutter-related endoleaks, and their presence did not correlate to increased risk for the growth of the aneurysm sac.
In patients where balloon angioplasty of the proximal attachment site, covered extension cuff, Palmaz stent, and EndoAnchors are not success­ful in resolution of Type IA endoleak during EVAR and there is insufcient space between endograft and renal arteries, embolization may provide an alternative treatment option from fem­oral approach. A reverse curve catheter can be used to probe the edge of the stent graft to gain access into the perigraft endoleak space. A micro­catheter is advanced into the perigraft space for embolization using coils and liquid embolic material (NBCA glue and Onyx).

Exposed Graft intheGroin Following Crossover Femoral­Femoral Graft andAorto-Uniiliac Stent Graft
65
Physical Examination andHistory
A 74-year-old male was found to have a large (8.8×9.8cm AP/transverse) diameter abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and a 3.7cm left com­mon iliac artery aneurysm detected on CTA of abdomen and pelvis on September 2009. Medical comorbidities included history of hypertension and congestive heart failure (left ventricular ejec­tion fraction 20%). Past surgical history included left upper lobe lobectomy for carcinoma of the lung.

Procedure

Patient underwent aortography and pelvic arteri­ography with preoperative placement of Amplatzer occluder plug at the origin of left hypogastric artery (Fig. 65.1). Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) was performed using Talent graft (Medtronic, Dublin, Ireland) with main body 34×18×155, contralateral graft limb 14×16×105, and two extension left iliac limbs of 18×12×80 and 12×12×80 and a right iliac extension limb of 18×14×75 and on the right side 28× 28 × 40 aortic cuff as a “bell bottom” technique. Capture of the gate could not be per­formed by retrograde femoral sheath, and a left brachial artery approach using a 7F 100-cm-long vertebral guiding catheter was used. Completion
arteriogram following EVAR showed successful exclusion of the AAA without endoleak. A post­operative CTA of the abdomen and pelvis before discharge showed Type III endoleak (Fig.65.2) due to disruption of malalignment of left iliac endograft limbs. Attempted relining of the left iliac limb on September 10, 2009, was unsuc­cessful; therefore the graft was converted to aorto-uniiliac formation by using three AneuRx cuffs. A crossover femoral-femoral graft using 8 mm PTFE INTERING® prosthesis was used (W.L.Gore, Newark, DE).
Graft exposure in the left groin occured fol­lowing removal of the sutures 7 days later. Patient was taken back to the operating room, and a new 8mm graft in a different tunnel was performed. The previously placed femoral- femoral graft was removed at the suprapubic level, and an 8 mm graft was sutured end to end to the graft which had been placed about a week earlier; this graft was brought anterolaterally on the anterolateral surface of the iliac crest in a subcutaneous plane and anastomosed to the mid supercial femo­ral artery in the subsartorial canal. At the same time, sartorius myoplasty was performed, and the left groin healed following application of the wound vac. Follow-up imaging study showed no evidence of endoleak with patent crossover femoral-femoral graft (Fig. 65.3). Patient died 14 months following EVAR from congestive heart failure.
