Discussion

Complications of colon ischemia following open or endovascular aneurysm repair are rare. Patients undergoing open AAA repair with prior colon resection or a large IMA with arc of Riolan with associated celiac and SMA occlusive disease are more likely to develop the dreaded complication of ischemic colitis due to ligation of the IMA. Coverage of the IMA during endovascular repair of AAA in such patients may also result in isch­emic colitis. In a recent retrospective analysis by Lee et al, IMA reimplantation during open AAA repair was associated with higher incidence of ischemic colitis [1]. However, the patient popula­tion under study did not demonstrate enlarged mesenteric collaterals suggesting need for IMA

Open repair of the AAA with 20mm tube graft was performed. Origin of the IMA and its rst few centimeters were mobilized and reim­planted into the Dacron graft as a carrel patch (Fig.3.3). Postoperative course was uneventful except for the development of transient atrial brillation and encephalopathy which improved gradually. Postoperative CTA showed satisfactory graft placement and patent IMA with mild to moderate stenosis (Fig.3.4).
reimplantation. In the case described above, patient had a large collateral between the celiac with inferior mesenteric artery. The IMA reim­plantation was thought to be a good option for prevention of bowel ischemia. The large collateral in this patient was not the arc of Riolan, which connects the middle colic (branch of SMA) to the IMA.This large collateral was a novel collateral from the celiac artery to the left upper colic artery of the IMA. An endovascular option with preservation of the IMA using a single fenestra­tion in the back-table modication of the stent can be used occasionally in high-risk patients [2].

Invited Commentary fromMitchell Ross Weaver, MD
This case illustrates the importance of fully eval­uating a patient’s anatomy beyond only deter­mining if there are adequate proximal and distal landing zones for an endograft to seal and ade­quate access for delivering the device. Coverage of the inferior mesenteric artery is a mandatory step in the endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms for all commercially available abdominal aortic endograft systems, and even with this the incidence of clinically relevant post­operative mesenteric ischemia is very low. As well as in open surgical repair of abdominal aor­tic aneurysms, the inferior mesenteric artery is routinely ligated except in circumstances where it was patent preoperatively and has poor back bleeding following the aortic reconstruction. In this case however, given the large size of the infe­rior mesenteric artery and the mesenteric occlu­sive disease noted in the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries, one must assume that if ow is not preserved in the inferior mesenteric artery, mesenteric ischemia and bowel infarction will follow.
For this patient the inferior mesenteric artery patency was preserved by an open aortic aneu­rysm repair and reimplantation of the inferior mesenteric artery. While each patient’s anatomy is unique to them, in some patients other options may be to intervene either with endoluminal or open interventions on the celiac or superior mes­enteric arteries to preserve adequate mesenteric blood ow. Nevertheless, this case does stress the importance of case planning and being mindful of the physiological effects caused by the ana­tomic changes of surgical intervention, whether open or endovascular.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair inaPatient withaPelvic Kidney

Physical Examination

A 66-year-old white male with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was found to have an 8-cm­wide asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm by physical examination. Ultrasound of the abdomi­nal aorta conrmed that the aneurysm was 8cm in transverse diameter, and, in addition, there was a suggestion of a pelvic midline mass. Retrograde aortogram revealed the infrarenal location of the aneurysm with a normal left kidney and left renal artery. The right kidney was located in the pelvis with its blood supply arising from the lower
abdominal aorta either at its bifurcation or from the origin of common iliac artery (Fig.4.1); this distinction could not be made with certainty on arteriogram. Pulmonary function tests revealed severe obstructive lung defects, and a chest X-ray showed mild obstructive lung disease.

Procedure

On exploration the aneurysm had a short neck and was 8 cm in transverse diameter. The aneurysm was mobilized along with the blood supply to the

pelvic kidney arising 1cm anterior and superior to the origin of the slightly dilated common iliac arteries. The right renal vein from the pelvic kid­ney joined the right common iliac vein. The aorta was clamped below the left renal artery, and the aneurysm was excised under systemic hepariniza­tion. A 19 × 9.5 mm USCI woven bifurcated Dacron graft was sutured in place after both renal arteries to the pelvic kidney had been mobilized and cuff preserved with each common iliac artery. Both renal arteries to the pelvic kidney were ushed with heparinized ice-cold saline after the aneurysm had been opened. Proximal anastomosis was performed with 4-0 cardiovascular Prolene. Distally, each common iliac artery and the attached renal artery proximal to it were joined in a com­mon elliptical anastomosis to the Dacron limb on either side also using 4-0 cardiovascular Prolene (Fig. 4.2). Total clamp time was 30 minutes. Postoperative renal blood ow and scan showed normal blood ow to the left kidney as well as to the right pelvic kidney (Fig.4.3). The patient was discharged after 8days in good condition.

Discussion

CT angiography and preoperative arteriography are essential diagnostic procedures for careful operative planning of such cases [1]. The pelvic kidney was rotated with its pelvis lying inferiorly. Careful surgical dissection enabled us to recognize two renal arteries to the pelvic kidney arising just above the origin of the common iliac arteries to supply the hilum of the pelvic kidney. Complete mobilization of the arterial supply to the pelvic kidney made it possible to reduce the ischemic time to less than 40 minutes. If, on freeing the aneurysm the artery to the pelvic kidney is found to arise from the aneurysm itself or from the bifur­cation of the common iliac artery, this artery should be reimplanted into the Dacron graft [1]. A similar situation may arise in a patient with abdominal aortic aneurysm and a prior renal trans­plant. Campbell etal. used in situ renal perfusion and performed successful aneurysmectomy in a young renal transplant patient. Ex vivo renal per­fusion is hazardous because of the risk to injury to the renal parenchyma, its blood supply, and the ureter. Aneurysmectomy with the use of a shunt from the proximal aorta to the common iliac artery as a means of providing blood ow to a trans­planted kidney was described by Sterioff and Parks [2]. This approach may be technically dif­cult in arteriosclerotic vessels, and there is a poten­tial for distal embolization. An axillofemoral graft is an attractive alternative provided blood supply

of the pelvic kidney is from the distal portion of the common iliac artery. Shons etal. used an axil­lofemoral bypass to preserve a functioning renal transplant after excision of a mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm in a diabetic patient [3].
Schneider and Cronenweff described tempo­rary perfusion of a pelvic kidney during repair of AAA and iliac aneurysms [4]. Pelvic renal isch­emia was limited by a “double proximal clamp­ing” technique and by placement of a temporary shunt from the body of the aortic graft into the pelvic renal artery during completion of two dis­tal anastomoses [4]. A custom-made fenestrated endograft with prior prototype information has been described for the repair of a large AAA with right pelvic kidney in a patient with multiple comorbidities [5]. A hybrid technique was suc­cessfully performed in a patient with aortoiliac aneurysm and a congenital solitary pelvic kidney by performing right external iliac artery to two renal arteries (to the solitary kidney) using a bifurcated Dacron graft followed by coil emboli­zation of the hypogastric artery and a standard endovascular aneurysm repair [6].
In our patient arterial supply to pelvic kidney arose close to the origin of the common iliac artery, and as such an axillofemoral graft would not have maintained renal perfusion. Systemic heparinization before aortic clamping, ushing of the renal arteries with heparinized ice-cold saline after opening the aneurysm, and reestablishment of arterial ow to such a kidney are important steps in preserving renal function in such cases.
Invited Commentary fromMitchell Ross Weaver, MD
The presence of renal anomalies such as a pelvic kidney or a horseshoe kidney can be a formidable challenge when it comes to the need for abdomi-
nal aortic aneurysm repair. Several factors of the altered anatomy contribute to this. These include positioning in the pelvis with limited space, often multiple as opposed to a single renal artery that will require reconstruction, and abnormal course of the ureters which may place them at greater risk for injury. Thus, careful study of the preop­erative imaging is a must to identify and then plan for reconstruction of the renal arteries, as well as plan for the most advantageous approach be that transperitoneal or retroperitoneal. Additional adjuncts to consider include the use of cold renal perfusion or temporary renal shunting to avoid the effects of likely longer renal isch­emia times in these cases.

Open Repair ofAbdominal Aortic Aneurysm inaPatient withDouble Inferior Vena Cava

Physical Examination

A 58-year-old male with congestive cardiomy­opathy and diabetes mellitus was found to have a 6.5-cm-wide abdominal aortic aneurysm by clinical examination. In addition, the patient had patchy mottling of the right big and second toes and the left fth toe. The right femoral pulse was slightly diminished, but the left fem­oral pulse was absent. Right popliteal, poste­rior tibial, and dorsalis pedis pulse were absent as well. The chest X-ray showed cardiomegaly, and an EKG showed left ventricular hypertro­phy with ST segment changes. Ultrasound examination of the abdomen conrmed the presence of an AAA with transverse diameter of 6.5cm. Retrograde aortogram revealed that the aneurysm extended to involve the proximal portion of the right common iliac artery. There was mild stenosis of the distal right common iliac artery. In addition, the left common iliac artery was occluded, with reconstitution of the external and internal iliac arteries at their ori­gin (Fig. 5.1). The arteries below the groin, though smaller in size, did not show any occlu­sive disease. Because of the presence of a large abdominal aortic aneurysm and signicant iliac artery occlusive disease, the patient under­went an open aortic reconstruction on November 11, 1982.

The left- sided vena cava joined the right-sided vena cava at the neck of the aneurysm so as to form one common venous channel. Both renal veins joined at the same level. The left lateral wall of the aneurysm projected behind and beyond the left-sided vena cava. The neck of the aneurysm was mobilized very carefully (Fig.5.2). The upper portion of the left vena cava was mobilized, and tape was passed around it. The aneurysm was resected between the two caval veins, and aortic bifurcation graft (18 × 9 mm Verisoft, Meadox) prosthesis was inserted (Figs.5.3 and 5.4). On the right side, the right limb of the graft was anastomosed to the common iliac artery bifurcation and on the left to the common femoral artery in an end-to- side fashion. The postoperative course was unevent­ful, and the patient was discharged on the eighth postoperative day in a satisfactory condition.

Discussion

The incidence of a double inferior vena cava varies between 0.5 and 0.3 percent in the gen­eral population [1, 2]. The development of the IVC is a complicated process involving three

anomalies of postrenal segment of IVC into four types:
• Type A: Persistent right posterior cardinal vein (retrocaval ureter)
• Type B: Persistent right subcardinal vein (nor­mal IVC)
• Type C: Persistent left subcardinal vein (left IVC)
• Type BC: Persistent right and left supracardi­nal and subcardinal veins (double IVC)
Normally, the left renal vein is formed by the
persistence of the ventral limb and regression of the dorsal limb of the renal venous collar. Persistence of the dorsal limb results in forma­tion of a retroaortic left renal vein, while persis­tence of both dorsal and ventral limbs results in formation of a circumaortic venous ring. Absence of hepatic segment of the IVC with azygos or hemiazygos continuation is commonly associ­ated with congenital heart disease, asplenia, and polysplenia [3]. Detailed knowledge of various venous anomalies in association with AAA is important for the vascular surgeon, since such anomalies may be found unexpectedly at the time of exploration. Lindblad [1] found a double IVC and AAA at the time of aortoiliac reconstruction for occlusive disease. Dupont reported an iso­lated left-sided vena cava in a patient with AAA [2]. He obtained proximal control of the aneu­rysm above the level of the right renal vein. Duplicated vena cava is ten times more common than an isolated left-sided vena cava [2]. Above the level of the renal vein, the IVC is single and is on the right side even if it is duplicated below that level, as was present in our case. The preopera­tive detection of congenital anomalies of the IVC by CTA decreased the incidence of venous inju­ries [35]. In most patients with double IVC, mobilization of left-sided IVC is sufcient to perform open AAA repair. Division of left-sided vena cava during AAA repair with and without reconstruction has been described but is rarely necessary [3, 4].
Exposure of the neck of the aneurysm must be
done very carefully in patients with duplicated vena cava, as the left-sided channel crosses toward the right anteriorly near the upper part of
the aneurysm. A small tear in the tributary of a double vena cava can lead to serious intraopera­tive hemorrhage. Inadvertent ligation of one of the paired venous channels can lead to thrombo­sis with subsequent edema of the extremity and other sequelae of venous hypertension. The left­sided vena cava was mobilized as the aneurysm extended behind and beyond this channel for a distance of 3.0cm. Mobilization of the iliac arter­ies was straightforward. Postoperative venogra­phy via bilateral femoral venous approach revealed detailed anatomic distribution of dupli­cated vena cava (Fig.5.4).
Invited Commentary fromGraham W.Long, MD
The author describes elective open repair of an AAA from 1982in which an unexpected nding of a duplicated IVC was encountered. He describes the preoperative evaluation and the measures taken for uneventful conduct of the operation.
The patient in this case underwent appropriate preoperative evaluation with a combination of ultrasound and aortography. Nonetheless, a potential issue with this approach is the inability to visualize incidental pathology, such as tumor or inammatory masses and venous anomalies. This case illustrated a duplicated IVC, but more common variations include a retroaortic renal vein or circumaortic venous ring. In the current era of endovascular aneurysm repair, nearly every AAA undergoes preoperative CTA, which makes the above considerations moot.
Being familiar with anatomic variations of the IVC is important to the vascular surgeon for two reasons. First, recognizing a left-sided IVC pre­vents ligation and subsequent left leg venous thrombotic complications. Second, the left-sided IVC crosses the aorta obliquely and is joined by the left renal vein at the level of the aortic neck. This obscures access to the neck and requires careful mobilization of these venous structures to allow for proximal clamp placement. This often includes ligation of the draining lumbar vein off this IVC-renal venous complex to prevent avul­sion and hemorrhage.

Aortic surgeons must be prepared for ana­tomic variants which affect the conduct of the operation. Dr. Hans presents a solid example of this with a duplicated IVC.

Physical Examination

A 53-year-old male was admitted to South Macomb Hospital on October 8, 1981, with chills and high fever of 2week’s duration (102–103°F). This fever was accompanied with pain in the lower back and left lower quadrant of the abdo­men aggravated by walking. He had a history of 60 pack years of nicotine abuse. At the time of admission, he had a fever of 102.6°F with a heart rate of 120 beats per minute and blood pressure 130/80mm Hg. Examination of the chest revealed diffuse rhonchi with rales. A pulsatile non-tender mass was palpable in the abdomen lateral to the umbilicus. Laboratory data revealed a hemoglo­bin of 12.9 gm/dl, hematocrit 36%, and a WBC count 17,300/cm with shift to the left. Sedimentation rate was 54 mm/hg. The chest X-ray was normal. Ultrasound and CT scan of the abdomen revealed a 5.0cm transverse diameter infrarenal aortic aneurysm. Two blood cultures were positive for E. coli, and the patient was started on antibiotics (Kefzol and Tobramycin). A retrograde aortogram revealed a saccular aneu­rysm of the infrarenal abdominal aorta (Fig.6.1).

Procedure

Patient underwent open repair of the aneurysm on December 16, 1981. Infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm was associated with an
enlarged preaortic lymph node with induration and edema of the left lateral wall of the aneu­rysm. Cultures of the preaortic lymph nodes were positive for E. coli. After proximal and distal control was obtained, the aneurysm was opened. There was evidence of dissection with a smaller true lumen and a larger false lumen (Fig. 6.2). The proximal extent of dissection was 2.0cm below the origin of the renal arter­ies, and distally the dissection stopped at aortic bifurcation. The aneurysm was resected com­pletely and replaced by a 16.0×8.0mm Verisoft (Meadox) Dacron graft. Culture of aneurysm wall was positive for E. coli. Histopathological examination of the aneurysm revealed an ath­erosclerotic aneurysm with acute and chronic inammatory changes in its wall.
Patient was discharged on January 4, 1982, on
oral Keex, followed by 6weeks of intravenous antibiotics (Kefzol and Tobramycin).
The patient was readmitted on February 26,
1982, with aspirin overdose secondary to severe back pain that was an associated low-grade fever (99–100 °F). Follow-up aortogram revealed a normally functioning graft (Fig.6.3) without any anastomotic disruption. X-ray of the lumbosa­cral spine revealed osteomyelitis of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th lumbar vertebrae with positive bone scan (Fig. 6.4). Simultaneous left femoral arterial blood and a left femoral venous culture did not grow any microorganisms, but the patient con­tinued to receive intravenous antibiotics. A
