[PMID: 37944790 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejvs.2023.11.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to describe surgical trends, survival, and infection related complications (IRC) in a Danish cohort of patients with infective native aortic aneurysms (INAAs). METHODS A retrospective nationwide cohort study including all patients in Denmark who were surgically treated for abdominal INAA between 2000 and 2020 was conducted. Patients were identified through the Danish vascular registry, Karbase, which is a database registering all patients treated with vascular surgery in Denmark. Subsequent data on clinical presentation, treatment, all cause mortality, and complications were obtained from the electronic patient charts. RESULTS Seventy-five patients were included in the study, of whom 60 (80%) were male, with a median age of 69 (IQR 64, 75) years. Open surgical repair (OSR) was performed in 54 (72%) patients and endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) in 21 (28%). Median follow up was 52 (IQR 32, 103) months. Open repair was consistently the most frequent treatment modality throughout the study period, but EVAR became more frequent over time. The 30 day survival of the total cohort was 97% (94 - 100%). Kaplan-Meier survival estimates for the cohort were 92% (95% CI 85 - 98%), 80% (95% CI 71 - 91%), 63% (95% CI 52 - 78%), and 48% (95% CI 35 - 66%) at one, three, five and 10 years, respectively. Patients treated by EVAR had comparable long term survival to patients treated by OSR, with a hazard ratio of 0.35 (95% CI 0.10 - 1.22), but was associated with better short term survival up to five years. The most common cause of death was sepsis. Five (9%) OSR patients had IRC compared with one (5%) EVAR patient. CONCLUSION In this nationwide study of patients treated for abdominal INAA, an increasing number of patients were surgically treated during the study period. Patients treated by EVAR demonstrated long term survival comparable to OSR. The incidence of post-operative IRC was low. These results should be interpreted with caution and prospective registries are needed.

Prognostic factors after open and endovascular repair for infected native aneurysms of the abdominal aorta and common iliac artery. J Vasc Surg 2024; 79:1379-1389. [PMID: 38280686 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2024.01.199] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 01/29/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Infected native aneurysms (INAs) of the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries are uncommon, but potentially fatal. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has recently been introduced as a durable treatment option, with outcomes comparable to those yielded by conventional open repair. However, owing to the rarity of the disease, the strengths and limitations of each treatment remain uncertain. The present study aimed to separately assess post-open repair and post-EVAR outcomes and to clarify factors affecting the short-term and late prognosis after each treatment. METHODS Using a nationwide clinical registry, we investigated 600 patients treated with open repair and 226 patients treated with EVAR for INAs of the abdominal aorta and/or common iliac artery. The relationships between preoperative or operative factors and postoperative outcomes, including 90-day and 3-year mortality and persistent or recurrent aneurysm-related infection, were examined. RESULTS Prosthetic grafts were used in >90% of patients treated with open repair, and in situ and extra-anatomic arterial reconstruction was performed in 539 and 57 patients, respectively. Preoperative anemia and imaging findings suggestive of aneurysm-enteric fistula were independently associated with poor outcomes in terms of both 3-year mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 1.62; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-2.62; P = .046, and HR, 2.24; 95% CI, 1.12-4.46; P = .022, respectively) and persistent or recurrent infection (odds ratio [OR], 2.16; 95% CI, 1.04-4.49; P = .039, and OR, 4.96; 95% CI, 1.81-13.55; P = .002, respectively) after open repair, whereas omental wrapping or packing and antibiotic impregnation of the prosthetic graft for in situ reconstruction contributed to improved 3-year survival (HR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.39-0.92; P = .019, and HR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.32-0.88; P = .014, respectively). Among patients treated with EVAR, abscess formation adjacent to the aneurysm was significantly associated with the occurrence of persistent or recurrent infection (OR, 2.24; 95% CI, 1.06-4.72; P = .034), whereas an elevated preoperative white blood cell count was predictive of 3-year mortality (HR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.00-3.13; P = .048). CONCLUSIONS Profiles of prognostic factors differed between open repair and EVAR in the treatment of INAs of the abdominal aorta and common iliac artery. Open repair may be more suitable than EVAR for patients with concurrent abscess formation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evidence is lacking to guide the management of infective native aortic aneurysm (INAA). The aim of this study was to establish expert consensus on surgical and antimicrobial treatment and follow up, and to define when an INAA is considered cured. METHODS Delphi methodology was used. The principal investigators invited 47 international experts (specialists in infectious diseases, radiology, nuclear medicine, and vascular and cardiothoracic surgery) via email. Four Delphi rounds were performed, three weeks each, using an online questionnaire with initially 28 statements. The panellists rated the statements on a five point Likert scale. Comments on statements were analysed, statements were revised and added or deleted, and the results were presented in the iterative rounds. Consensus was defined as ≥ 75% of the panel rating a statement as strongly agree or agree on the Likert scale, and consensus on the final assessment was defined as Cronbach's alpha > 0.80. RESULTS All 49 panellists completed all four rounds, resulting in 100% participation. One statement was added based on the results and comments of the panel, resulting in 29 final statements: three on need for consensus, 20 on treatment, five on follow up, and one on definition of cure. All 29 statements reached agreement of ≥ 86%. Cronbach's alpha increased for each consecutive round; round 1, 0.85; round 2, 0.90; round 3, 0.91; and round 4, 0.94. Thus, consensus was reached for all statements. CONCLUSION INAAs are rare, and high level evidence to guide optimal management is lacking. This consensus document was established with the aim of helping clinicians manage these challenging patients, as a supplement to current guidelines. The presented consensus will need future amendments in accordance with newly acquired knowledge.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The standard treatment of infected aortic aneurysms is open surgical repair but mortality rates remain high with the common cause of death being sepsis. Endovascular treatment of infected aortic aneurysms is another option and here we report the midterm outcomes of endovascular treatment for infected aortic aneurysms. METHODS Thirty-four patients with infected aortic aneurysms underwent endovascular and hybrid repair between December 2012 and June 2021. The patients were evaluated for early and midterm outcomes including postoperative mortality, morbidity, recurrent aortic infection, and midterm survival. RESULTS There were 34 patients who presented with infected aortic aneurysms with a mean age of 66.7 years (range, 26-89). Most of the patients presented with abdominal pain (94.1%) and fever (50.0%). The rate of positive blood culture for organisms was 32.4%. Salmonella was the most common organism. The procedures for treatment were endovascular repair using straight endograft, aorto-uni-iliac (AUI) endograft, bifurcated endograft, and thoracic endograft. Other procedures were endovascular repair with sandwich technique, chimney or periscope technique, and hybrid operation. The rate of in-hospital mortality and morbidity were 11.8% and 17.6%, respectively. Mean follow-up time was 21 months (range, 1-70). During the follow-up period, 7 (23.3%) patients had recurrent infection of aortic aneurysms and 5 patients required reoperation. Four patients died from septicemia and one patient died from cardiac disease. Male patients were more likely to have recurrent infection compared to females. The cumulative survival at 1 year and 2 years were 86.3% and 80.5%, respectively. CONCLUSION In this retrospective review of the endovascular treatment in the patients who presented with infected aortic aneurysms showed acceptable early and midterm outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To perform a systematic review on contemporary outcomes of endovascular repair and open surgical repair (OSR) for the treatment of mycotic aortic aneurysm (MAA). METHODS A comprehensive literature search on the management of MAAs with endovascular repair or OSR was performed between January 1998 and January 2023. Patient demographics, early and late outcomes were analyzed with respect to treatment modality and MAA location. RESULTS Forty-eight articles were included, encompassing a total of 1,358 patients (75.8% male; mean age 66.9 years; 1,372 aneurysms) treated by open (49.8%) or endovascular (50.2%) repair. Salmonella spp., and Staphylococcus spp. were the most prevalent pathogens in Asian and European countries respectively. An increasing number of descending thoracic MAAs were managed by endovascular repair (27.9% vs. 12.8%). Early mortality rates for supra- and infra-renal MAAs managed by endovascular repair were lower than OSR (suprarenal 5.4% vs. 43.2%; infrarenal 1.8% vs. 16.7%). Overall, endovascular repair demonstrated lower intraoperative (1.0% vs. 1.8%) and early mortality (6.5% vs. 15.9) rates than OSR. However, endovascular repair was associated with higher late sepsis rate (5.7% vs. 0.9%) and reintervention rate (17.6% vs. 7.3%). Pooled survival rates at 1- and 5-year were similar between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS Current literature suggest that endovascular repair is an effective and safe alternative to OSR for descending thoracic, suprarenal, and infrarenal MAAs. However, endovascular repair is associated with higher risk of infection-related complications and reintervention during follow-up.

Abstract
PURPOSE Isolated infected iliac artery aneurysms (IIIAAs) are extremely rare, life-threatening, and intractable. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of endovascular treatment in patients with IIIAAs. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted for all patients who underwent endovascular treatment for IIIAAs between June 2012 and June 2022 in 3 hospitals. The clinical data and follow-up outcomes were reviewed and assessed. RESULTS Fifteen patients were included in this study. The median age was 69 years, 12 patients (80%) were men, and 8 (53%) had hypertension. Most of the patients presented with abdominal or lumbar pain (87%) and fever (60%). The offending pathogen was identified in 11 patients (73%). Fifteen patients had a total of 16 IIIAAs, with 12 (75%) involving the common iliac artery. The immediate technical success rate was 100%, and the 30-day mortality was 7%. Infection-related complications occurred in 2 patients (13%) during hospitalization who were treated by open surgery at a later stage. The median follow-up was 23 months (range: 6-80 months, mean: 32 ± 25 months). Aneurysm recurrence was identified in one patient (7%) 5 months after endovascular repair. It was managed by endovascular stent-graft repair with percutaneous catheter drainage. No patients died during the follow-up period. CONCLUSION Endovascular treatment is feasible, safe, and effective for patients with IIIAAs, achieving acceptable clinical outcomes. Infection surveillance with essential reintervention should be considered for potential infection-related complications. CLINICAL IMPACT This study first reported that 15 patients underwent endovascular treatment for primary isolated infected iliac artery aneurysms (IIIAAs). It showed a good early and midterm outcomes. This is the first and largest multi-center study and the first literature review of IIIAAs. It provides an evidence that endovascular treatment is feasible, safe, and effective to treat IIIAAs. It suggests endovascular treatment is a promising alternative or a bridge to conventional open surgery for IIIAAs. This may promote endovascular therapy in the management of IIIAAs. It would help clinicians to make an appropriate treatment choice for IIIAAs.

[PMID: 36572322 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2022.11.065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2022] [Revised: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION In situ reconstruction (ISR) with autologous veins is the preferred method in infectious native aortic aneurysms (INAAs) or vascular (endo)graft infection (VGEI). However, access to biological substitutes can prove difficult and lacks versatility. This study evaluates survival and freedom from reinfection after ISR of INAA/VGEI using the antimicrobial Intergard Synergy graft combining silver and triclosan. METHODS From February 2014 to April 2020, 86 antimicrobial grafts were implanted for aortic infection. The diagnosis of INAA/VGEI and reinfection was established based on the Management of Aortic Graft Infection Collaboration criteria. Survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank P values. RESULTS The antimicrobial graft was implanted in 32 cases of INAA, 28 of VGI, and 26 of VEI. The median age was 69.0 (interquartile range: 62.0; 74.0), with a history of coronary artery disease (n = 21; 24.4%), chronic kidney disease (n = 11; 12.8%), cancer (n = 21; 24.4%), and immunosuppression (n = 27; 31.4%). Imaging showed infiltration (n = 14; 16.3%), air (n = 10; 11.6%), and rupture (n = 16; 18.6% including 22 aortoenteric fistulae [AEnF]). Symptoms included fever (n = 37; 43.0%), shock (n = 11; 12.8%), and pain (n = 47; 54.7%). Repair was undertaken through a midline laparotomy in 75 cases (87.2%) and coeliac cross-clamping in 19 (22.1%), suprarenal in 26 (30.2%), plus celiac trunk (n = 3), mesenteric (n = 5), renal (n = 13), or hypogastric (n = 4) artery reconstruction, and omental flap coverage (n = 41; 48.8%). For AEnF, the gastrointestinal tract was repaired using direct suture (n = 14; 16.3%) or resection anastomosis (n = 8; 9.3%). Causative organisms were identified in 74 patients (86.0%), with polymicrobial infection in 32 (37.2%) and fungal coinfection in 7 (8.1%). Thirty-day and in-hospital mortality were 14.0% and 22.1% (n = 12 and 19, respectively, 3 INAA [9.4%], 7 VGI [25.0%], and 9 VEI [34.6%]). Seventy patients (81.4%) had a postoperative complication, 44 (51.2%) of whom returned to the operative room. The 1- and 2-year survival rates were 74.0% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 63.3-82.1) and 69.8% (95% CI: 58.5-78.5), respectively. Survival was significantly better for INAA vs VGEI (P = .01) and worse for AEnF (P = .001). Freedom from reinfection was 97.2% (95% CI: 89.2-99.3) and 95.0% (95% CI: 84.8-98.4) with six reinfections (7.0%) requiring two radiological/six surgical drainage and two graft removals. Primary patency was 88.0% (95% CI: 78.1-93.6) and 79.9% (95% CI: 67.3-88.1) with no significant difference between INAA and VGEI (P = .16). CONCLUSIONS ISR of INAA or VGEI with the antimicrobial graft showed encouraging early mortality, comparable to the rates found in femoral vein (9%-16%) and arterial allograft (8%-28%) studies, as well as mid-term reinfection. The highest in-hospital mortality was noted for VEI including nearly 50% of AEnF.

Abstract
We report the case of a 70-year-old woman who presented with a ruptured infective native thoracic aortic aneurysm (INTAA), associated with spondylodiscitis and posterior mediastinitis. She underwent a staged hybrid repair: urgent thoracic endovascular aortic repair was first performed as a bridge therapy in the context of septic shock. Allograft repair using cardiopulmonary bypass was performed five days later. Given the complexity of INTAA, multidisciplinary teamwork was paramount to determine the most appropriate treatment strategy, including procedure planning with multiple operators as well as perioperative care. Therapeutic alternatives are discussed.
