Rupture ofAbdominal Aortic Aneurysm inaPatient withaHorseshoe Kidney
17

Physical Examination

A 61-year-old male presented to the emergency room on March 7, 2007, with abdominal pain and syncope. Emergency contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a leaking abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with a horse­shoe kidney (Fig.17.1). Associated medical con­ditions included hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and nicotine abuse. There were associ­ated bilateral common iliac aneurysms and calci­ed plaque with diffuse narrowing of both external iliac arteries.

Procedure

Patient underwent emergency repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm with right aorto­femoral and left external iliac graft through the transperitoneal approach. The main body of the graft was brought under the isthmus of the horseshoe kidney. His postoperative course was complicated by multi-organ failure (respiratory failure, mild renal failure, and dilution coagu­lopathy). Subsequently, patient developed lower gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to left colon and rectal infarction and underwent total abdominal colectomy with ileostomy. He was also found to have extensive diverticulosis of the left colon. In the postoperative period,
patient was found to have signicant weakness of the lower extremities. He was discharged fol­lowing aneurysmal repair 6 weeks later and underwent extensive physical and occupational therapy. Patient presented 10 years later with symptomatic 6cm anastomotic aneurysm in the right groin which was repaired with interposi­tion of 10mm knitted Dacron graft. Patient was last seen in July 2019in satisfactory condition. He was found to have a small-size renal carci­noma on the right portion of the horseshoe kid­ney, but because of signicant comorbidities, patient refused any further intervention for the suspected renal cancer.

Discussion

Horseshoe kidney occurs in approximately 0.25–
0.5% of patients requiring abdominal aortic aneurysm repair [1, 2]. The preferred surgical options for AAA with a horseshoe kidney in an elective setting are endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) or repair using a left retroperitoneal ank approach, depending upon the morphology of the aneurysm and location of the dominant renal arteries [1, 2]. In a hemodynamically stable patient with a leaking AAA and a horseshoe kid­ney, EVAR can be attempted, but in most patients, the transperitoneal approach becomes necessary [1, 2]. The isthmus of the horseshoe kidney can

be divided if it is thin and has minimal renal parenchyma. If the isthmus is thick, dissection underneath the mobilized isthmus (as in this patient) or medial visceral rotation may be neces­sary to gain adequate exposure [1, 2].
Postoperative complications following a repair of ruptured aneurysm in a patient with a horseshoe kidney are common. Incidence of renal insufciency is reported to be 17% [1]. Adequate knowledge of the vascular anatomy to the horseshoe kidney is essential to deter­mine the approach of choice in a patient with
horseshoe kidney associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm [1, 2].

History andPhysical Examination
A 59-year-old male presented to the emergency room on April 1, 2007, with acute onset of abdominal pain radiating to the back. CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis revealed 8.5 cm abdominal aortic aneurysm with retroperitoneal hematoma. Medical comorbidities included hypertension and nicotine and alcohol abuse. Abdominal aorta was dilated to 3.2cm at the level of superior mesenteric artery. His renal function was normal. Patient was taken to the operating room for emergent repair of a leaking abdominal aortic aneurysm (pararenal) with a retroperitoneal hematoma.

Procedure

Midline incision was made and a Bookwalter retractor (Symmetry Surgical, Nashville, TN) was applied. The ligament of Treitz was mobi­lized and left renal vein was ligated close to the inferior vena cava. Both renal arteries and prox­imal portion of superior mesenteric artery was exposed after the crus of the diaphragm was divided on both sides. Patient was started on mannitol infusion. Proximal vascular clamp was applied above both renal arteries and just below the superior mesenteric artery. A 22 × 11 mm knitted Dacron graft was selected, and proximal anastomosis was done in two layers: horizontal
mattress sutures of four “O” cardiovascular polypropylene suture (Ethicon, Somerville, NJ) and second layer of continuous sutures. Sutures were applied in such a manner that the inferior wall of the renal artery was included in the suture line so that the proximal anastomosis was at the level of the renal arteries. Distal recon­struction was performed to the right common femoral artery on the right side on an end-to­side fashion and to the left external iliac artery with an end-to-side fashion as well. In the post­operative period, patient developed delirium tre­mens due to alcohol withdrawal which responded to administration of thiamine, multi­vitamins, and nutritional support. Patient was discharged on the tenth postoperative day. Patient underwent a follow-up CTA of the abdo­men in 2013 which showed that the suprarenal segment of the aorta measured 4.4cm. CTA per­formed in 2014 showed that the AAA measured
4.7cm (Figs.18.1 and 18.2) and at the level of
renal arteries. In January 2019, patient under­went repair of femoral anastomotic aneurysm with reimplantation of deep femoral artery as a cuff with 8mm interposition graft to the previ­ously placed femoral artery of the graft and proximal femoral artery (Figs. 18.3 and 18.4). Recent arteriography showed suprarenal AAA and satisfactory repair of femoral anastomotic aneurysm with patent interposition graft and patent reimplanted deep femoral artery into the graft (Figs.18.5 and 18.6).

Discussion

Open repair of pararenal aortic aneurysms can be carried out with acceptable morbidity and mor­tality. However, endovascular repair has contin­ued to emerge as an alternative in high-risk

one of the patients developed a right retroperito­neal hematoma with small extravasation near the lower pole of right kidney for which he underwent coil embolization. However, patient subsequently died from multi-organ failure [2]. In patients with a contained retroperitoneal hematoma who are hemodynamically stable and have suprarenal aneurysm in addition to an infrarenal aneurysm, a left ank retroperitoneal approach is useful. Author has performed this approach on three occasions with satisfactory results in two patients.
In some patients, a transperitoneal midline
approach with mobilization of suprarenal seg­ment by dividing crus of the diaphragm on either side, ligation of the left renal vein close to the inferior vena cava will allow placement of proximal clamp just below the superior mes­enteric artery. Supraceliac control of the aorta is also a suitable option in such instances. Suprarenal segment of aorta may not need to be repaired at the time of repair of leaking infrare­nal AAA. Patient should be followed with

imaging studies such as CTA of the abdomen and pelvis. Recently, Wang et al. compared operative technique of the plication of the aneu­rysm cuff with the graft sown up to the renal arteries (as was in this case) with a beveled anastomosis with renal artery bypass in patients undergoing open repair of juxtarenal aortic aneurysms. There were112 patients in the pli­cation group and 87in the renal artery bypass group. They observed that the more complex technique involving left renal artery bypass was not protective against long-term anastomotic degeneration, decline in renal function, and mortality [3]. Future interventions for suprare­nal aortic aneurysm will depend upon its size and general medical condition of the patient. Open or branched endograft repair may need to be undertaken [4].
Invited Commentary fromAudra A.Duncan MD, FACS, FRCSC
The author describes a 59-year-old patient with a ruptured 8.5 cm pararenal aortic aneurysm repaired with open reconstruction. This case illustrates several key points in management of complex aortic aneurysm. First, the option to repair with an open technique rather than an endovascular repair is often dependent on the sur­geon preference and device availability. With the large size of the paravisceral aorta, it is likely that a fenestrated device would extend into the tho­racic aorta if appropriately sized, and that cover­age would increase the patient’s risk of spinal cord ischemia. Other options, such as chimney grafts, are an option in ruptured patients but have a high risk of endoleak which is potentially dan­gerous in patients with preexisting rupture and hematoma. The use of open repair, especially in a young patient, seems to be a sound decision.
Intraoperative decision making is often guided by the preoperative CT scan, and this patient was fortunately stable enough to have a CT before surgery. Decision about the level of clamp is often made before laparotomy if imag­ing is available. In this case, either a supraceliac clamp or a supraSMA clamp would also have been reasonable, whereas a suprarenal clamp
was placed in this patient. Due to infrequent involvement of the supraceliac aorta in the ath­erosclerotic disease process, clamping at this site is preferable. The disadvantage of suprace­liac clamping is a higher cardiac event rate [5]. This patient may also have done well with a supraSMA clamp, since the aorta appears nor­mal in size above the SMA.This dissection can be done by dividing the crus on either side of the aorta, mobilizing the renal vein, and extending the renal vein proximally. The clamp is then placed on the aorta proximal to the SMA with the renal vein on the superior side of the clamp, so the clamp acts as a retractor for the vein and the exposure is excellent. Although ligation of the left renal vein can be done, this maneuver does increase the risk of renal failure [5]. Other options are mobilization of the vein by ligation of tributaries (adrenal, lumborenal, gonadal) or by clamping, transection, and re-anastomosing the renal vein after aortic graft reconstruction.
The author chose to extend the graft to the femoral artery and reconstruct the distal anasto­moses in an end-to-side manner. If possible, extension of graft into the femoral arteries should be avoided in order to reduce the risk of pros­thetic graft infection that is associated with groin incisions. In addition, most aortic reconstruc­tions are performed in an end-to-end manner, in order to eliminate as much aneurysmal tissue as possible. If an end-to-side anastomosis is con­structed, the native iliac must be ligated, and the remaining artery “pouch” is at risk of dilation and potential rupture in the long term. Overall, this patient is young with a large aneurysm, as well as an anastomotic aneurysm. He will require close follow- up, including assessment for tho­racic aortic aneurysm and assessment of the eti­ology of the pseudoaneurysm (i.e., was the pseudoaneurysm caused by infection?). At his young age, open repair remains the most durable option for his aortic reconstruction.

Physical Examination

This 63-year-old man was seen at the emergency room on May 17, 2001, with severe abdominal pain of sudden onset, associated with postpran­dial nausea and vomiting. He was diaphoretic, with a blood pressure of 120/80 mm Hg and a heart rate of 120 beats per minute. Medical comorbidities included hypertension, severe cor­onary artery disease, and depression. In January 2000, the patient was admitted to an outside hos­pital with signicant coronary artery disease and abdominal aortic aneurysm. At that time, the patient underwent extensive cardiac evaluation, including coronary arteriography and electro­physiological studies.

History

Coronary arteriography and primary stenting of the right coronary artery was performed vial left brachial cutdown by the cardiologist in June
2000. Left anterior descending or circumex cor­onary artery did not show any stenosis. The esti­mated left ventricular ejection fraction was 20% with an increased left ventricular end-diastolic pressure of 18mm Hg.
On January 30, 2000, the patient underwent spiral CT scanning of the abdomen followed by abdominal aortography. The CT scan results (6mm collimation) revealed a 7.0cm infrarenal
abdominal aortic aneurysm. The transverse diam­eter of the neck of the abdominal aortic aneurysm just below the renal arteries measured 28.0mm, and the length of the aortic neck was about
15.0 mm, with 60 degrees neck angulation (Fig. 19.1). The review of the records from the outside hospital revealed that the repair of the abdominal aortic aneurysm was performed with AneuRx stent graft (Medtronic, Sunnyvale, CA) on February 4, 2001, under spinal anesthesia. Review of the operative records showed that fem­oral artery cutdowns were performed. Left bra­chial artery cutdown was also performed for

capturing the gate for placement of the left iliac extension limb.
A 28.0mm × 16.0mm (16.5cm long) primary component of the AneuRx stent graft was deployed from the right femoral artery, and a 16mm iliac limb (11.5cm long) was deployed via the left femoral artery approach. In addition, an aortic extension cuff (28.0mm to 3.75cm long) also was deployed. According to the operative report, there was no evidence of endoleak, with complete exclusion of the aneurysm at the time of completion arteriography during the operation.

Suprarenal control of abdominal aorta was obtained, and both renal arteries were con­trolled with silastic vessel loops. Vascular clamps were applied to the external iliac and hypogastric arteries on each side. The site of rupture of AAA was anteromedial. The aneurysm was opened at the site of rupture.

The left iliac limb was completely separated from the main body of the graft. The right iliac limb of the graft 2–3cm from its distal end devel­oped marked angulation and resulted in the pen­etration of the IVC just above the common iliac vein junction.
