Endovascular Repair ofSplenic Artery Aneurysm

Physical Examination

A 72-year-old male underwent CT urogram for left renal artery calculus at the recommendation of an urologist. An incidental nding of 3.1cm saccular splenic artery aneurysm arising from the ventral branch of the splenic artery was visual­ized, and the aneurysm was near the splenic hilum (Fig.80.1). Patient had no symptoms per­taining to the aneurysm.

Procedure

Patient underwent celiac arteriogram after right femoral artery access was obtained using micro­puncture technique and a 5F sheath was inserted. Omniush catheter (AngioDynamics, Latham, NY) was advanced into the splenic artery over the glidewire, and contrast was injected. The sac­cular splenic artery aneurysm appeared to be arising from the ventral segmental branch of the main splenic artery (Fig.80.2). Contrast injection showed single outow vessel. A curved lantern microcatheter was advanced into the aneurysm sac, and outow vessel was engaged with the help of 0.018 wire. Repeat arteriogram conrmed the appropriate position of the outow vessel. Coil embolization of outow vessel was per­formed followed by packing of the aneurysm sac

by a number of coils. Microcatheter was then advanced into the distal feeding branch of the main splenic artery (Fig.80.3). Successful embo­lization of the ventral segmental feeding branch was performed. The microcatheter was removed, and repeat arteriogram with a catheter in the main trunk of the splenic artery showed absent lling of the aneurysm sac (Fig.80.4).
Patient underwent a follow-up CT scan of the
abdomen on November 21, 2019, later showed successful embolization of splenic artery aneu­rysm with preservation of the arterial supply to the spleen (Fig.80.5).

Discussion

Overall, 87% of patients with splenic artery aneurysms are women, the majority being mul­tiparous. The mortality from rupture is 10–25% in nonpregnant women and maybe as high as 70% during pregnancy with fetal mortality close to 90% [1]. Repair of splenic artery aneurysm is indicated once the aneurysm is greater than 2–2.5 cm [1]. Hogedoorn from a meta-analysis with true splenic artery aneurysm in 47 articles consisting of 1321 patients. They concluded that endovascular repair has better short-term results. Endovascular repair has also lower mortality as compared to the open repair [2]. Open repair is associated with fewer late complications and fewer re-interventions [2, 3]. Endovascular repair is most cost-effective, and elderly patients should be considered. Elderly patients with splenic artery aneurysm 2–2.5 cm should be observed with yearly CT scans of the abdomen. Reed etal. attempted stent graft repair of splenic artery aneurysm in ten patients. They observed that self­expandable stent grafts offer another option besides coil embolization to treat selected patients with splenic artery aneurysm [4]. Distal splenic artery aneurysm with the excessive tortu­osity of splenic artery often results in technical failure for stent graft deployment.
Invited Commentary fromTimur P.Sarac, MD
Splenic artery aneurysms are the most common visceral artery aneurysm, accounting for approxi­mately 60% of all non-aortic aneurysms in the abdomen. Their incidence is reported to be 0.8% [5]. This case report and summary highlight the advancements in treating splenic artery aneu­rysms and increased diagnoses due to frequent
use of CT scans. The rst endovascular treatment of splenic artery aneurysm was reported in 1990 by Reidy [6]. Since that time, endovascular ther­apy has evolved at rst-line therapy [1, 7].
Options for treatment include coil emboliza-
tion, glue embolization, and stent grafts. Coil embolization is the most common and time­honored useful endovascular therapy. Stent grafts have distinct advantages in that it allows for pre­serving splenic artery ow. However, the size and tortuosity of the splenic artery frequently pre­clude this option. Finally, glue embolization is also possible, but there are potential problems with distal embolization and end-organ perfusion.

Carotid Stenting
Carotid Stenting forSymptomatic Carotid Restenosis Secondary toMyointimal Hyperplasia
History andPhysical Examination
A 69-year-old female underwent right carotid endarterectomy with bovine pericardial patch for asymptomatic high-grade right internal carotid artery stenosis (>80%) on December 1, 2016. She had an uneventful postoperative course, and in January 2017, she underwent carotid duplex study which showed normal peak systolic velocity of right internal carotid artery with intimal thicken­ing and 60–69% stenosis of the left internal carotid artery. In July of 2017, a follow-up carotid duplex study showed peak systolic velocity of right internal carotid artery for 32 cm/sec with end diastolic velocity of 155cm/sec. CTA of the neck showed recurrent smooth 80% stenosis with proximal right internal carotid artery secondary to myointimal hyperplasia and 60–69% stenosis of the left internal carotid artery (Fig. 81.1). Since patient was asymptomatic, it was decided to con­tinue medical management. Patient developed recurrent (three episodes) of diminishing of the vision of the right eye in March 2019, lasting 30–40 seconds. She was evaluated by a retinal specialist who diagnosed ischemic retinopathy secondary to severe extracranial carotid stenosis.

Procedure

Patient was taken to hybrid operating room for placement of transfemoral placement of carotid stent. Carotid arteriogram through the shuttle

sheath revealed 80% smooth ICA stenosis at its origin (Fig. 81.2). Intracerebral views showed absent lling of the anterior cerebral artery (Fig.81.3). Through the 7F shuttle sheath Xact (Abbott, Temecula, CA), stent 6 × 8 × 40 mm was deployed following pre-angioplasty fol­lowed by post dilatation with a 5 mm balloon catheter. The procedure was performed using a NAV6™ lter (Abbott). Completion arteriogram showed satisfactory deployment of stent with no intracerebral abnormalities (Fig.81.4).

right femoral pseudoaneurysm. Because of its wide neck, open repair of pseudoaneurysm was preferred over thrombin injection. Carotid duplex imaging in June 2019 showed a peak sys­tolic velocity of right internal carotid artery 112 cm/sec with an end-diastolic velocity of 39 cm/sec. On the left side, the peak systolic
velocity of the left internal carotid artery is 303cm/sec and a diastolic velocity of 86cm/sec. Since patient is not symptomatic, from the left internal carotid artery stenosis, patient was rec­ommended continuation of medical management.

Discussion

The superiority of carotid angioplasty and stent­ing (CAS) over redo carotid endarterectomy for recurrent carotid stenosis is uncertain. Arhuidese et al. studied patients from Vascular Quality Initiative Database (2003–2015) with prior ipsi­lateral carotid endarterectomy who underwent 2863 carotid interventions, 1047 (37%) redo carotid endarterectomy, and 1816 (63%) CAS [1]. The 30-day mortality was 1.3% for repeat carotid endarterectomy versus 0.6% for CAS (p=0.04). Both procedures had similar incidence of perioperative stroke and myocardial infarc­tion. Cranial nerve palsy occurred in 4.1% of redo carotid endarterectomy patients, and excess site complications occurred in 5.3% of CAS cases as was the case presented in this report [1].

DeBorst etal. performed 57 CAS procedures in 55 patients (36 men) with a mean age of 70years [2]. The mean interval between carotid endarter­ectomy and CAS was 83 months (range 6–245months). Nine patients (16%) were asymp­tomatic. They did not observe any death or stroke following CAS.A periprocedural transient isch­emic attack occurred in two patients. During a mean follow-up of 36 months (range 12–72months), two patients exhibited ipsilateral cerebral symptoms (1 TIA, 1 minor stroke). In 11 patients (19%), in-stent restenosis (50%) was detected post-CAS at month three (n = 3), 12 (n=3), 24 (n=2), 36 (n=1), 48 (n=1), and 60 (n=1). They concluded that CAS for recurrent stenosis after carotid endarterectomy can be per-
formed with a low incidence of periprocedural complications with durable protection from stroke [2]. The rate of in-stent recurrent stenosis is high, and the recurrent stenosis can occur early as well as late.

Carotid Artery Stenting forSymptomatic Radiation­Induced Carotid Stenosis
Physical Examination andHistory
A 78-year-old male was admitted to the hospital from emergency room with recurrent episodes of left upper extremity shaking. He denied any his­tory of weakness of the left lower extremity or slurring of the speech. He had undergone left carotid endarterectomy (CEA) with history of focal transient ischemic attack (TIA) in the distri­bution of left middle cerebral artery 2 months prior to this admission. The left CEA was com­plicated by neck hematoma which needed drain­age, and since then, patient has had no symptoms pertaining to the left cerebral hemisphere. Patient had history of radiation to the neck for carcinoma of the tonsil about 15years ago. It was the opin­ion of the stroke neurologist that his symptoms (shaking of the left upper extremity) represented TIA in the distribution of right middle cerebral artery. CTA of the neck showed severe stenosis involving the right ICA and normal left CEA site (Fig.82.1). Other comorbidities included hyper­tension and history of atrial brillation. Patient was scheduled for carotid artery stenting (CAS) on June 24, 2019.

Procedure

Patient was started on intravenous heparin for atrial brillation in preparation for right CAS. Carotid artery stenting was preferred to CEA in

vertebral body (Fig. 82.2). Using a Supracore wire, a 7 F shuttle sheath was inserted, and carotid arteriogram was observed showing severe right ICA extending cephalad to the junction of C1 and C2 vertebral body (Fig.82.2). Patient was administered with heparin to keep the ACT close to 300. Filter wire was advanced without dif­culty. Pre-dilatation was done by 3mm × 2cm
long balloon followed by deployment of a 6 × 8 × 40 Acculink stent. Post-dilatation was done with a 6 mm balloon (Fig. 82.3). Post­angioplasty arteriogram showed <10% residual stenosis (Fig. 82.4). The lter was retrieved. Carotid duplex study on July 2, 2009, showed a peak systolic velocity 71cm/sec of the right ICA and 74cm/sec left ICA.

Discussion
Limb shaking TIAs are unusual, they occur in patients with severe carotid occlusive disease, and often are mistaken for focal motor seizures. EEG recordings during attacks are negative for epileptic form discharges, and anti-seizure medications are generally ineffective. Limb shaking TIAs do not extend to the face; they often occur when patient is standing up, as occurred in this patient while he was taking a shower [1]. These patients are at high risk for development of stroke [1]. The patient in

this report was admitted to the Hospital On May 9th, 2020 with syncope secondary to rapid Atrial Fibrillation. CT angiography of the neck showed 60% in-stent stenosis at the Cephalic end of the shunt probably due to thrombus formation. Patient was continued on medical management as he did not experience any focal neurological symptoms. Carotid stenting for radiation induced carotid ste­nosis has a propensity for recurrent disease and thus the need for continued surveillance.
External radiation for head and neck cancer
may result in extracranial carotid stenosis; thus, radiation indirectly poses a risk for a develop­ment of stroke [26]. The exact mechanism underlying radiation-induced carotid stenosis is not well established. The process is inamma­tory in type, and plaque characteristics are simi­lar to those present in atherosclerotic disease. However, the natural history of radiation-induced stenosis is distinct [2]. Radiation-induced carotid stenosis is often bilateral, and the plaque extends to a considerable distance cephalad into the internal carotid artery [26]. Carotid endarterec­tomy (CEA) in patients with history of neck radiation is associated with slightly increased incidence of cranial nerve injury, cervical hema­toma, and wound complications. Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is preferable in patients with his­tory of head and neck cancer treated with prior radiation with associated radical neck dissection and tracheostomy.
