CHAPTER 5
Axillary/subclavian access forendovascular management ofascending and descending aortic pathologies
Eduardo Keller Saadi

Introduction
Endovascular approaches are being increasingly utilized to treat a variety of thoracic aortic diseases (TADs), including aneurysms, pseudoaneurysms, dissections, penetrating aortic ulcers, traumatic aortic rupture, and coarctation. The treatment of descending aorta pathologies is well established but it is also possible to treat the arch and, more recently, the ascending aorta as the last frontier. Adequate vascular access is crucial to obtain good results. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is usually done through the femoral arteries. Transfemoral access can be achieved by direct surgical cut-down and surgical suture clo­sure of the artery, percutaneous puncture with surgical suture closure, or percutaneous puncture with percutaneous closure of the femoral artery. Although there has been a dramatic improvement in device profiles and navigability with external hydrophilic coating in commercially available devices, the diameter of devices remains sizeable.
Sometimes access is impossible or not recom­mended because of the small size of the vessels, obstruction, calcification, dissection, or extreme
tortuosity. Vascular access complications such as dissection, iliac rupture, and thrombosis are stillfre­quent. Achieving safe and successful endovascular access for introduction and deployment of the stent­graft device is an important and often challenging step during TEVAR. Currently available thoracic endografts still have a large profile. In 10–30% of the patients suitable for TEVAR, inadequate femoral artery access anatomy will be found. Alternative access sites are important. The axillary/subclavian artery approach is a viable alternative in cases where the femoral arteries are not appropriate.
Vascular access evaluation
Complete anatomic evaluation of the thoracic aortic pathology and the access vessels are key to success. Preoperative meticulous planning is fundamental. Physical examination with pulse palpation and echo Doppler can be used as an initial screening. Currently, helical computed tomo­graphic angiography (CTA) is the most useful imaging modality for detailed assessment of access arterial anatomy, overtaking axial computed tomog­raphy (CT) and digital subtraction angiography

(DSA) (Fig.5.1). CTA demonstrates with sharp pre­cision the course and appearance of all vessels of interest and provides the necessary tools for sizing

and measurements of the devices and helps to determine the most appropriate access site (Fig.5.2).
Technique
Under general or local anesthesia the axillary artery is exposed through an incision in the delto-pecto­ral groove. The pectoralis major muscle is divided in the direction of its fibers and the insertion of thepectoralis minor divided. The axillary artery is easily seen superior to the axillary vein and dis­sected. The arterial wall is thin and usually free from atherosclerosis (Fig. 5.3). Care should be taken to avoid any injury to the brachial plexus. Following the administration of heparin (1 mg/kg) a side biting clamp is applied and an anastomosis constructed with an 8 or 10 mm Dacron tube with a running suture of 6-0 prolene (Fig.5.4). The tube is brought from the same incision or, in cases when the artery is too deep, through a new small stab incision and left long and parallel to the artery (Fig.5.5). The tube is left at least 25 cm long, away from the artery. A 7 Fr sheath is snared to the extremity of the Dacron tube to avoid bleeding and facilitate the manipulation of wires and catheters, and the insertion of the device (Fig.5.6; Video5.1).

exteriorize the Dacron tube parallel to the axillary artery.
Fig. 5.4 An 8 mm Dacron tube anastomosed to the right
axillary artery with 6-0 prolene.
The endoprosthesis is introduced by the distal end with or without the sheath, depending on the device selected, through the Dacron graft and on an extra stiff Landerquist 260 cm long guide wire (Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN) (Fig. 5.7; Video 5.2). If there is not another access the Dacron tube can be punctured more proximally and another 5 or 6 Fr sheath inserted (Figs5.8 and
5.9). Catheters and the rigid guide wire, as well as the endoprosthesis, can be inserted after enlarging the hole with an 11 blade, while keeping the distal end of the graft for angiographic control (Fig.5.10). An aortography is done with a pigtail introduced
from the same graft, the contralateral arm, or from the groin for diagnostic landmarks and before opening the device (Video5.3). The endoprosthe­sis is then deployed (Video 5.4). Balloon accommodation is performed in the usual fashion through the axillary access (Video5.5). Final aor­tography is performed to check there are no endoleaks. The wires are removed and the Dacron tube ligated with two large clips 1 cm away from the axillary artery and reinforced with a running suture of 5-0 prolene. The incision is closed in layers and no drains left. At least one CT scan is done in the early postoperative period to confirm the correct position of the endograft and the absence of endoleaks (Fig. 5.11). Follow-up is maintained for the patient’s lifetime.
Discussion
The feasibility of endovascular surgery depends on many anatomic factors, including the diameter and the disease state of the access vessels [1–4]. Stenosis, calcifications, tortuosity, small sizes, or dissection of both femoral and iliac arteries can make the intro­duction of a large sheath hazardous or impossible. Aorto-iliac artery stenosis and obstruction is not uncommon in elderly patients. Women and small patients often have femoral arteries that are not

compatible in size with large diameter sheaths and introducers needed to deploy thoracic endoprosthe­sis. A conduit anastomosed to the iliac artery is an option when the femoral arteries are not adequate [5]. Direct extraperitoneal access to the abdominal aorta with or without a conduit is also possible but is a big operation. An alternative to groin access is the axillary artery. The exposure of the axillary artery through a small infraclavicular incision is familiar to cardiovascular surgeons as arterial return in cardiopulmonary bypass in aortic arch surgery [6]. They are often good-sized vessels and usually free from atherosclerosis, even in patients with extensive aorto-iliac occlusive disease.
Both axillary arteries can be used. The decision of the side to use is made based on anatomic details and its angle detected in the preoperative multislice
CT scan with 3D reconstruction. If both arteries are of good size and the angle in relation to the aortic arch is favorable, preference is given for the left subclavian artery. We believe there is less chance of debris embolization to the carotid artery when we avoid the brachiocephalic trunk. If the left subclavian artery is involved by dissection or a neurysm we use the right. Careful evaluation should be taken in patients with prior myocardial revascularization with the left internal mammary artery (LIMA), where the risk of left subclavian artery dissection or temporary occlusion of LIMA
