Open Repair ofanInammatory Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
10
History andPhysical Examination
This 80-year-old male underwent contrast­enhanced CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis and was found to have 6.5 × 6.1cm abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), 3.6 × 3.4cm right com­mon iliac artery aneurysm, and 2.5cm left hypo­gastric artery aneurysm. CT scan also showed thickened wall of the AAA with reactive changes. Associated medical condition included hyper­tension, hyperlipidemia, and gout. Past surgical history included lumbar laminectomy in 1995 and repeat laminectomy in 1996.

Procedure

On May 5, 2011, patient underwent open repair of AAA and right common iliac artery aneurysm and left hypogastric artery aneurysm. Epidural catheter was placed by the anesthesia team. He was found to have inammatory aortic aneurysm; therefore 3rd and 4th fourth portion of duodenum was not separated from the right lateral wall of AAA.Following mobilization of the ligament of Treitz and passage of silastic vessel loop around the left renal vein, aortic neck was exposed. Proximal anastomosis to the aortic neck after removing the anterior wall of the AAA was per­formed using an 18 × 9 mm Dacron graft with 30 CV polypropylene sutures. Distally the dis­section was done to mobilize origins of both left
external iliac artery and hypogastric artery. During mobilization of the common iliac artery, there was excessive bleeding resulting from a tear at the junction of external iliac and common iliac vein. Because of excessive inammatory reaction (Figs.10.1 and 10.2), it was decided to close the common iliac artery and anastomose the left limb

of the aortic bifurcation graft to the left common femoral artery in an end-to-side fashion. On the right side, there was no normal cuff of the com­mon iliac bifurcation due to large size of common iliac aneurysm, and both the origin of right exter­nal iliac and hypogastric artery origin were sepa­rated by at least a centimeter and a half. Right hypogastric artery was ligated, and end-to- end anastomosis to the origin of the right external iliac artery was performed. Patient received six units of packed red cells and two units of fresh frozen plasma in the operating room. Patient was found to have paraplegia in the recovery room following extubation. He was started on intravenous ste­roids. Spinal drain for CSF drainage was not per­formed because of low platelet count. Patient developed sacral decubitus ulcer and was given extensive physical and occupational therapy fol­lowing extensive debridement of the gluteal area. Patient had some improvement in motor function but was essentially conned to the wheelchair. MRI of the spinal cord showed ischemic changes
in the conus medullaris region with associated edema. He was transferred to the rehabilitation institute for further management and died 3years later from complications of paraplegia.

Discussion

Paraplegia following infrarenal aortic reconstruc­tion is multifactorial with occlusion of the greater radicular artery (located at the level of T9–T12in 75%, T5–T8in 15%, and L1–L2in 10%) as the predominant factor. Athero-embolization, supra­renal clamping, shock, and interruption of pelvic arterial circulation are other important factors, and in this patient interruption of pelvic arterial circulation seems to be the most predominant factor. This patient had thrombosed left hypogas­tric aneurysm, and ligation of the right hypogas­tric artery effectively led to loss of arterial supply to the conus medullaris region of the spinal cord. In this patient a separate bypass to the right hypo­gastric artery from the right iliac limb of the aor­tic bifurcation graft might have prevented this complication.
Gloviczki et al. described six types of isch-
emic injury to the spinal cord [1]:
• Type I– complete infarction of the distal spi­nal cord manifesting as complete motor and sensory loss distal to the lesion
• Type II– infarction of the anterior two third of the spinal cord (anterior or spinal artery syn­drome) manifesting as accid paraplegia with loss of pain and sensation of temperature with preservation of sense of vibration and proprioception
• Type III– infarction of the lumbosacral roots with or without patchy infarcts in the cord manifesting as preservation of motor function but with asymmetric decits
• Type IV – unilateral lumbar sacral plexus infarction manifesting as unilateral lumbar plexopathy
• Type V – segmental infarction of the spinal cord manifesting as spastic paraplegia
• Type VI– infarction of the posterior one third of the cord (posterior spinal artery syndrome)

In some instances, post-interventional para­plegia may be delayed. Urgent neurological and physiatry consultation should be performed. Patients often require extensive physical or occu­pational therapy including bladder and bowel care, and measures to prevent decubitus ulcers and contractures in the lower extremities should be undertaken immediately.
Data from EUROpean collaborators on Stent­graft Techniques for abdominal aortic Aneurysm Repair (EUROSTAR) database demonstrated that 5–10% of AAAs have an inammatory com­ponent. Ureteral obstruction causing hydrone­phrosis as a rst clinical appearance has been described in up to 54% of patients with inam­matory AAA. Patients with inammatory AAA are often symptomatic with chronic abdominal pain and weight loss and have associated eleva­tion of sedimentation rate, C-reactive proteins, and WBC count. Wieker et al. reported 33.9%
incidence of perioperative complications follow­ing open repair of inammatory AAA [2]. After repair, perianeurysmal inammation decreases in most patients on follow-up CT scans. These patients require long time surveillance for hydro­ureteronephrosis and development of aortoen­teric stula. Spinal cord ischemia following endovascular aneurysm repair for AAA has also been described [3].

Right Subhepatic Approach forInammatory Aortic Aneurysm inaPatient withScoliosis
Extraperitoneal ank approach is being increas­ingly used for juxtarenal and thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair. Patients with severe scoliosis may present special problems with exposure that could be compounded by choice of a wrong incision.
History andPhysical Examination
An 85-year-old female with a permanent ventric­ular demand pacemaker inserted in 1983 was admitted with poor appetite and weight loss for 6 months. A large pulsatile mass in the right upper quadrant was detected with lumbar scolio­sis to the right. A 24 hour dynamic echocardio­gram showed pacemaker rhythm rate of 72 per minute, with occasional premature ventricular contractions, and ST segment depression. Chest radiography showed changes suggestive of mild congestive heart failure. Abdominal ultrasonog­raphy revealed abdominal aortic aneurysm to be 9 cm in transverse diameter. Congestive heart failure was treated with digoxin (Lanoxin), amri­none, and furosemide (Lasix). Two-dimensional echocardiography showed left ventricular dila­tion with ejection fraction of 30%. Abdominal aortography performed via the right femoral artery approach revealed a large infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with severe angula­tion of the aortic neck due to scoliosis (Fig.11.1).

Procedure

Midline abdominal incision was used for aneu­rysm repair. Removal of a large left ovarian serous cyst facilitated exposure. The neck of the aneurysm, located below the liver, was approached between the gallbladder and the rst and second portion of the duodenum by lysing adhesions. The dense adhesions in the lower

descending, transverse, and ascending portions of the duodenum were diagnostic of inamma­tory aortic aneurysm. The liver was retracted upward to expose the inferior vena cava and left renal vein. The portal vein, inferior portion of the bile duct, and a small portion of the head of the pancreas were exposed and retracted to the left to gain proximal control of the aorta (Fig. 11.2). Proximal control of the aorta was obtained on the right side of the descending duodenum just below the origin of the renal arteries. Aneurysm was resected partially, and anterior and left lateral wall was kept adherent to the duodenum, and no attempt was made to separate the duodenum from the aneurysmal wall. A 19 × 9.5 mm woven Dacron graft was brought obliquely underneath the duodenal and aortic aneurysmal wall and anastomosed to the right common iliac artery bifurcation. After resection of the left iliac aneu­rysm, the graft was brought under the sigmoid mesocolon and anastomosed to the left common iliac bifurcation (Fig.11.3).

Amrinone was continued after the operation,
which resulted in gradual improvement of con­gestive heart failure. The following day, she developed paroxysmal atrial brillation that was controlled with intravenous verapamil and pro­cainamide. On the third postoperative day, she experienced two separate episodes of ventricular tachycardia, which responded to cardiac debril­lation, and her pacemaker rate was increased. She continued to make gradual improvement, her pacemaker rate was lowered to 75 from 100 beats/minute, and she was discharged on the 14th postoperative day.

Discussion

Aortic aneurysm in patients with mild scoliosis can usually be approached transperitoneally on the left side of the ascending duodenum. The degree of scoliosis with convexity to the right in this patient caused aortic angulation and distor­tion of the usual anatomical relationships [1].
Inammatory AAAs have a dening triad of
thickened aneurysmal wall, extensive perianeu­rysmal brosis, and dense adhesions to surround­ing structures like the small bowel and ureter. Risk of rupture of inammatory aortic aneurysm

is generally thought to be lower than that of non­inammatory aneurysms. The incidence of obstructive uropathy is about 20%. Open surgical treatment of inammatory AAA results in regres­sion of the inammatory process in most patients. Open repair is associated with signicant early morbidity, increased transfusion requirements, and increased length of stay with similar mortal­ity as compared to noninammatory aneurysms. Patients with inammatory AAA require long­term follow-up for surveillance for hydro-ureter nephrosis and secondary aortoenteric stula. Nitecki et al. reported that inammatory AAAs have a strong familial connection and the current smoking may play an important role in the inammatory process [2]. They reported simi­lar survival as compared to noninammatory aneurysms. Retroperitoneal inammatory pro­cess resolved completely in 53% of patients, but in 47% of patients, there was persistent inammatory reaction following the repair of open AAA.This resulted in obstruction of the ureters (32%) and solitary or bilateral renal artery with resultant renal atrophy. Right to left
medial visceral rotation is well described for zone 1 retroperitoneal hematoma involving prox­imal inferior vena cava, portal vein, or major arterial branches in the right upper quadrant by incising the peritoneum lateral to ascending colon and reecting it medially followed by kocherization of the duodenum [3]. This tech­nique is rarely necessary during open AAA repair; however, patient described in this report had severe scoliosis in the lumbar spine, resulting in abnormal anatomy in the juxta and infrarenal aorta necessitating modifying the exposure.

Large Symptomatic Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

12

Physical Examination

A 52-year-old male was sent by his primary care physician for CT scan of the abdomen as patient complained of back pain and was found to have a large palpable pulsatile mass in the abdomen. Contrast enhanced CT scan showed 9.5cm trans­verse diameter infrarenal AAA with 90° aortic neck angulation with fat stranding (Figs. 12.1,
12.2, and 12.3).

Procedure

Patient was taken to the operating room for emer­gent open repair of asymptomatic aneurysm as patient was not suitable for endovascular aneu­rysm repair. Patient was explored through a mid­line abdominal incision, and after mobilization of the neck of the aorta, infrarenal aortic clamping was performed. There was aneurysmal dilation of the left common iliac artery. Patient had a con­tained rupture of the posterior wall of the abdom­inal aortic aneurysm which was sealed by the anterior spinal ligament. Following partial exci­sion of the aneurysm, reconstruction was per­formed using an 18 × 9mm knitted Dacron graft. Following the completion of the reconstruction and prior to closure of the retroperitoneum, left femoral pulse was found to be weak. Left femoral artery exploration was performed, and a number 4 Fogarty catheter was passed proximally retriev­ing a small amount of plaque embolus. Following this, patient had excellent pedal pulses. Patient’s postoperative course was uneventful.

neuropathy and inguinal hernia pain have been documented in such instances. If untreated, aneurysm sac ruptures into the retroperitoneum with massive blood loss [2, 3]. If aortic neck angulation is less than 60° and patient otherwise meets the criteria for endovascular repair, it (and not the collar) should be preferred in managing a patient with symptomatic AAA. Patient with symptomatic AAA over 6cm in transverse diam­eter needs urgent repair because there is high incidence of rupture if left untreated.

History andPhysical Examination
A 70-year-old female was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) 5 years earlier. Patient underwent follow-up CT scan of the abdo­men for further evaluation of CLL and was found to have 5.8cm infrarenal abdominal aortic aneu­rysm with an accessory left renal artery near the neck of the aneurysm. There was evidence of right external iliac artery occlusion and a high- grade stenosis of right common femoral artery. In addi-
tion, patient had 70% stenosis of the left external iliac artery and 70% stenosis of the common fem­oral artery (Figs.13.1, 13.2, and 13.3). She com­plained of right hip and calf claudication. Other associated medical comorbidities included hyper­tension, hyperlipidemia, type II diabetes mellitus, and degenerative arthritis of the hip and spine. She was a former smoker with a history of smok­ing 67 pack years. She quit smoking in 2014. Laboratory data showed hemoglobin 9.7g, hema­tocrit 26, WBC count 42,500, and platelet count
