165,000. Left ventricular ejection fraction was 65% with no valve abnormalities in the aortic or mitral valve on 2D echocardiogram.

Procedure

Under general anesthesia, using a midline trans­abdominal incision, patient underwent open aneurysm repair (OAR) in March 2014. Patient was found to have large periaortic lymph nodes which measured 5.7 × 3.6 × 3.5cm (Figs. 13.4 and 13.5). Proximal aortic clamp was applied after mobilizing and dissecting the periaortic lymph nodes with harmonic scalpel. Accessory left renal artery was preserved and controlled with a silastic loop. Aorto-bifemoral graft recon­struction with 18 × 9 mm knitted Dacron graft was performed as patient had severe bilateral

However, patient was readmitted 1 week after discharge with left groin surgical site infection with skin edge necrosis and serous drainage (lymphocutaneous stula) which resolved with local wound care, debridement, and antibiotics Zyvox and Ceftin (Figs. 13.6 and 13.7). Pathological report of the lymph nodes showed ndings suggestive of chronic lymphocytic leu­kemia. Patient was seen in March 2019in satis­factory condition with stable CLL with normal ankle brachial indices (Fig.13.8).

Discussion

In patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, unusual manifestations occur in about 12%. Median survival of patients with chronic lympho-

cytic leukemia with enlarged lymph nodes is 8–10years. It is much reduced if there is associ­ated anemia or thrombocytopenia. In this group of patients, aortic wall infection is possible [1]. Induced thrombosis of inoperable abdominal aor­tic aneurysm with axillofemoral grafting was described in 1978 by Berguer etal. [2]. If patient does not have an associated iliac artery occlusive disease, endovascular repair should be considered in patients with periaortic mass with AAA.
Fig. 13.8 Subsequent healing of the groin
Groin lymphatic complications remain trou-
blesome in an aortofemoral bypass graft and less commonly with infrainguinal bypass. The risk of wound infection and subsequent graft infection in a synthetic vascular conduit is of paramount concern. The cause of lymphocutaneous stula and lymphocele is often due to lymphatic disrup­tion during groin dissection. Lymphocutaneous stulas are diagnosed early, whereas lympho­celes are recognized later. Many surgeons advise conservative treatment with limb elevation, local wound care, pressure dressing, and prophylactic antibiotics. Tyndall et al. and Kwaan et al. described improved outcome with early reopera­tion in the form of closure of lymph leak subcuta­neous tissues with absorbable sutures and pressure dressing [3, 4].
Stadelman and Tobin treated 19 lymphoceles
by intraoperative exposure of the previous groin incision and intradermal injection of the Isosulfan blue dye (lymphazurin 1%, Ben Venue Labs Inc. Bedford, Ohio) into distal extremity just above the ankle [5]. The leg was massaged and elevated to speed the migration of the dye. After about 15minutes, the blue dye can be seen emerging

from the damaged lymphatic channel. These lymphatic channels were directly ligated with monolament absorbable suture with hemostatic metal clips. Multiple layers of absorbable mono­lament sutures are used to obliterate lympho­cele sac. In some instances, muscle ap or adipofascial ap may be necessary if the dead space cannot be completely obliterated.
Invited Commentary fromDipankar Mukherjee, MD
Dr. Hans has reported and illustrated open repair of a patient with an AAA with CLL.
This patient had extensive calcication and occlusive disease in the access vessels making endovascular repair options a difcult choice. An aorto-bifemoral repair was done compli­cated by left groin wound infection and lym­phocutaneous stula. Patient had a satisfactory outcome with secondary healing of the groin wound.
It is clear from the description of the open repair that the operator is a skillful surgeon who achieved a satisfactory result despite the many challenges inherent in this case.
The problem of wound infection and possibly late appearance of graft infection as a result of potential immune compromise would be a seri­ous concern with regard to the long-term out­come of this patient.
Could there have been an alternative less inva­sive treatment paradigm to manage this complex problem? Aorto-uni-iliac endovascular repair
with left common femoral endarterectomy with patch angioplasty followed by meticulous multi­layered closure of the groin wound or even a muscle ap may have averted the complication that occurred.
Serial dilation of the left iliac access vessels or even currently available shock wave technology to overcome the calcium burden in these vessels may have been an option. The chronically occluded right iliac vessels may or may not need to be addressed unless she was symptomatic from the occlusion.
In the era of dwindling experience with open repair of complex aneurysms of the abdominal aorta, the young vascular surgeon would benet from the details of open repair as described by Dr. Hans.

Inammatory Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting withTesticular Pain

Physical Examination

A 56-year-old male presented to his primary phy­sician with testicular pain and underwent ultra­sound evaluation of the abdomen which revealed
6.0 cm transverse diameter abdominal aortic aneurysm. CTA abdomen and pelvis conrmed
6.0cm abdominal aortic aneurysm, 2.7cm right common iliac aneurysm, and 2.9cm left common iliac aneurysm (Figs.14.1 and 14.2). Patient had undergone left carotid endarterectomy in March
2014. Medical comorbidities included hyperten­sion, nicotine abuse, hyperlipidemia, and history

were suggestive of inammatory type of AAA.

After medical evaluation, patient was taken to the operating room.

Procedure

In April 2004 endotracheal intubation was dif­cult due to the presence of epiglottic mass. Aneurysm was found to be inammatory in type; therefore, no attempt was made to separate the third and fourth portion of the duodenum from the aneurysmal wall. Bookwalter retractor was applied, left renal vein was mobilized, and a silastic vessel loop was passed around the left renal vein. Bilateral external iliac arteries on CTA and on evaluation in the operating room were small (less than 6 mm) in diameter. After ligating common iliac arteries, above their bifur­cation, an aorto-bifemoral reconstruction was performed. Inferior mesenteric artery was small in caliber and was ligated. Patient had a follow­ up CT scan of the abdomen 6months later with some residual inammatory changes in the wall of the aneurysmal sac (Fig.14.3). An 18 × 9mm
Dacron graft reconstruction was performed. Patient was seen in July 2019 in satisfactory condition.

Discussion

Patients with inammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm usually present with symptoms of abdominal and back pain and weight loss and on CT scan show inammatory changes in its wall. In most patients the inammation subsides proxi­mal to iliac bifurcation; therefore, a bilateral dis­tal iliac anastomosis can be performed. However, in this patient the iliac arteries were small in cali­ber; therefore, aorto-bifemoral reconstruction was performed. Patient subsequently developed recurrent left carotid stenosis and underwent interposition grafting. Patient is doing well 15 years following abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, and a recent CT scan of the abdomen shows that the inammatory changes have com­pletely resolved.

Physical Examination

A 72-year-old male was scheduled for open repair of AAA in 1995. His abdominal aortic aneurysm measured 6.0cm transverse diameter. On pre-surgical screening, patient was found to have a prolonged prothrombin time with a nor­mal PTT and a hematology consultation revealed factor VII deciency.

Procedure

Patient was treated with Proplex-T 1hour before the operation and underwent open AAA repair with aortoiliac graft placement via midline trans­peritoneal approach.

Discussion

Currently recombinant factor VII A is being used increasingly to treat factor VII deciency, hemophilia A and B, intracranial bleeding, trauma and in patients undergoing cardiac sur­gery, prostatectomy, and liver transplantation. The clot- promoting activity of RF VII A is pri­marily mediated through the tissue factor path­way, although direct activation of primary hemostasis may also occur. Fresh frozen plasma is usually not helpful in managing patients
undergoing surgery with factor VII deciency, as was the case in this patient [1, 2]. Konyne (factor IX complex) can also be used to treat bleeding in patients with factor VII deciency. The main aim of the treatment is to achieve an increase of 15–25% from normal activity of fac­tor VII.Factor IX concentrates also contain fac­tor VII. NovoSeven RT (coagulation factor VII A – recombinant) is highly effective (93%) in stopping nonsurgical and surgical hemorrhage in patients with factor VII deciency [37]. However, NovoSeven is an expensive recombi­nant protein with a price of $1540/mg. Goodnough et al. recommended the following treatment plan: (1) initial treatment with 2μg/kg of recombinant factor VII A every 6hours for 24 hours, and (2) subsequent tapering of the dose of recombinant factor VII A and its substi­tution with fresh frozen plasma. Normalization of the PT or INR should not be the end point of treatment [37]. The patient was lost to follow up in 2006 after he had undergone repair of mid­line incisional hernia, 6 years following open AAA repair.
Henriksen et al. hypothesized that occur­rence of hernia is due to altered connective tis­sue mechanisms in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm [8]. Although radiographically demonstrated incisional hernia is common fol­lowing open AAA repair, clinically evident hernias are much less frequently encountered.

Henriksen etal. from Danish Vascular Registry reported 10.4% cumulative incidence of hernia repair after 6years of follow-up. High body mass index and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair were two main risk factors for incisional hernia repair in patients undergoing open aortic reconstruction [8]. Incisional hernia is less common after aorto­bifemoral grafting for occlusive disease.

Open Repair ofRuptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Complicated by Pancreatitis andDuodenal Obstruction

History

A 56-year-old male was admitted to the hospital on February 4, 1985, because of acute severe low back and left ank pain. Prior medical history included noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and cholecystectomy with history of pancreatitis with calcication.

Procedure

He underwent emergent repair of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm with placement of a 20 × 10mm woven aorto-right common iliac and left aortofemoral bypass graft. Six units of packed red blood cells and ten liters of crystalloids were administered during the open aneurysm repair. A preoperative X-ray of the abdomen revealed ret­roperitoneal hematoma and calcication of the pancreas.
Postoperatively, the patient had a large vol­ume of bilious gastric output, averaging two liters a day. A long tube (cantor) was inserted on March 9, 1985, and an upper gastrointestinal barium series revealed duodenal obstruction at the junc­tion of the second and third portions of the duo­denum (Fig.16.1). The cantor tube could not be advanced further into the small intestine. CT scan of the abdomen showed enlarged head and body of the pancreas, consistent with pancreatitis (Fig.16.2). Serum amylase levels were elevated

Serosal tear of the duodenum developed dur­ing lysis of the adhesions; a jejunal patch was applied, and a Baker tube was inserted through the nose, beyond the duodenojejunal exure, into the small intestine. Total parenteral nutrition was continued. Patient developed pulmonary emboli and was treated with anticoagulation. He was discharged on April 23, 1985, in satisfactory condition. Patient died in 1994 from intracere­bral hemorrhage.
creatitis. A retrospective autopsy study demon­strated that in 95 patients after open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, the incidence of pancreati­tis was higher in the ruptured group. Warshaw and O’Hara reported a 12% incidence of acute pancre­atitis following repair of intact abdominal aortic aneurysm and 29% following repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm [2]. Typical symp­toms of acute pancreatitis like abdominal pain and tenderness are either absent or masked by postop­erative course. The incidence of pancreatitis fol­lowing repair of ruptured aneurysm is difcult to measure as many patients die from cardiac or renal complications before manifestation of pan­creatitis become apparent.
Duodenal obstruction occurs from mass effect due to signicant enlargement of the pancreas [3,
4]. Hematoma in the paraduodenal area may also
be responsible for duodenal obstruction as well as brinous adhesions between the jejunal loops and duodenum. Any patient with prolonged ileus should have serum lipase and amylase level evalu­ated following open AAA repair, and most patients can be managed by nasogastric suction, manage­ment of electrolytes, and hydration. Total paren­teral nutrition is necessary if patient is kept NPO for more than a few days. Re-exploration should be reserved for patients with persistent obstruction or if peritoneal signs develop. Postoperative CT scan should be obtained in a patient if persistent ileus does not resolve following open AAA repair.

Discussion

Pancreatitis following repair of ruptured abdomi­nal aortic aneurysm (AAA) was rst reported by Castleman and McNeely in 1967. The same authors reported a patient who died following repair of ruptured aneurysm with autopsy reveal­ing destruction of the pancreas [1]. They hypoth­esized embolization of the atheromatous debris into the arteries of the pancreas, leading to pan-
