Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to describe a single center preliminary experience with the use of a specific balloon expandable stent-graft for the treatment of innominate artery (IA) obstructive lesions. METHODS We report our experience with four male patients treated with Gore Viabahn balloon (Gore Medical, Flagstaff, AZ, USA) expandable stent-graft for different types of IA stenosis: three patients were symptomatic for vertebrobasilar insufficiency, while one patient was asymptomatic for cerebrovascular symptoms. The stent grafts were deployed using retrograde (N.=2) or antegrade approach (N.=2), aiming to cover the entire lesions length and to slightly protrude into the aortic arch. Post-dilatation was performed with a compliant balloon. One patient presented a tandem lesion (IA and right internal carotid artery) and after the stenting of the IA he was treated also with a carotid artery stenting during the same procedure. RESULTS Technical success was achieved in all patients. No perioperative or postoperative complications had been reported and the neurological disorders disappeared for the three symptomatic patients. After a mean clinical and radiological follow-up of 24±5 months, all the stents were patent and perfectly adapted to the vessels. CONCLUSIONS This preliminary clinical experience shows that the use of the Gore Viabahn balloon (Gore Medical) expandable stent-graft seems safe and feasible for the treatment of the IA obstructive lesions, also in presence of irregular plaques and hostile anatomies for an endovascular treatment. Larger experiences and long-term data are mandatory.

Abstract
Objective For carotid artery stenosis with a large amount of vulnerable plaque in a wide range, we performed a hybrid surgery combining carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS), and report the results of treatment. Methods Surgical treatment for carotid artery stenosis in 216 patients was performed between January 2016 and June 2018. Of these, 15 patients were treated in a hybrid operating room because both CEA and CAS were judged to be risky. We treated these patients with preparation of stenting for remote lesions far from the CEA arterial incision. The perioperative treatment results were retrospectively examined. Results Of the 15 patients treated in a hybrid operating room, 10 were stented after CEA. All these cases were treated by retrograde stent placement in the proximal common carotid artery (CCA). Treatment was completed in all patients, and no cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, or death was observed in the perioperative period. There were no cases of additional neurological events during the follow-up period, but asymptomatic restenosis was observed in one patient. Conclusion Hybrid surgery combining CEA and CAS was considered to be an effective treatment for carotid artery stenosis with a large amount of vulnerable plaque.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The safety and effectiveness of using the hybrid approach to treat tandem carotid lesions is controversial, and the clinical significance of the technical variants on the perioperative outcomes has not been evaluated. The present meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the technique, safety, effectiveness, and long-term outcomes of the hybrid approach. METHODS The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched to identify studies from January 1, 1996 to January 11, 2020. The baseline patient characteristics, comorbidities, procedural details, and perioperative and long-term outcomes were collected and analyzed. A pooled overall survival curve was drawn. Univariate analysis was performed to compare the perioperative stroke risk between subgroups. RESULTS Overall, 275 patients (mean age, 66.94 years) from 15 studies were included. All the patients had presented with tandem stenosis of ≥50%, and 67.2% were symptomatic. The overall technical success rate was 99.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 98.0%-100.0%). The pooled perioperative complications rates were as follows: death, 1.5% (95% CI, 0.0%-2.9%); stroke, 2.6% (95% CI, 0.7%-4.4%); combined stroke/death, 3.3% (95% CI, 1.2%-5.4%); and myocardial infarction, 3.2% (95% CI, 0.7%-9.1%). The overall primary patency rates were 99.2% (95% CI, 96.0%-100.0%) and 88.2% (95% CI, 78.8%-95.4%) at 1 and 2 years, respectively. Reintervention was performed in 6.6% of the patients (95% CI, 3.0%-11.2%). The pooled overall survival rates were 89.9% (95% CI, 83.7%-96.7%), 83.7% (95% CI, 75.9%-92.2%), and 75.9% (95% CI, 66.5%-86.7%) at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. Operations in which carotid endarterectomy was performed first carried a significantly greater risk of perioperative stroke compared with those in which proximal intervention had been performed first (5.7% vs 0.0%; P = .01). No difference was found in perioperative stroke risk between the subgroups of baseline symptomatic status (asymptomatic, 5.1%; symptomatic, 1.9%; P = .32), preoperative antiplatelet therapy (dual, 3.6%; single, 5.8%; P = .79), and carotid clamping during intervention (clamping, 2.8%; unclamping, 6.3%; P = .40). CONCLUSIONS For patients with a presumed high risk of neurologic events because of carotid tandem lesions, the hybrid approach could be considered a reasonable option with high technical success and acceptable perioperative and long-term results. Performing carotid artery stenting before carotid endarterectomy and administering perioperative dual antiplatelet therapy should be considered to promote technical success and better outcomes. Prospective and randomized controlled studies are needed to confirm the results and provide recommendations on patient selection for the hybrid approach.

Ann Vasc Surg 2020; 69:190-196. [PMID: 32554196 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2020.06.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2020] [Revised: 06/06/2020] [Accepted: 06/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic disease of the innominate artery (IA) is rare and can lead to cerebral, upper extremity, and vertebral steal symptoms. Nonocclusive lesions can be treated with endovascular interventions, often with a hybrid approach while performing a right carotid endarterectomy (RCEA). Calcified IA lesions have a high risk of embolization to bilateral cerebral hemispheres. Occlusive lesions may require treatment through a median sternotomy and bypass. The purpose of our study is to review our short-term and long-term outcomes of IA revascularization. METHODS Our operative database was used to identify patients who underwent IA revascularization between January 1998 and December 2018. Patients who underwent innominate artery stenting (IAS), combined with RCEA and IAS as well as aortoinnominate bypass (AIB), were identified. Our primary end points were freedom from neurologic event, all-cause mortality, and need for reintervention. RESULTS Thirty-three patients (18 females [55%]) who underwent IA revascularization were identified. Average age was 67 ± 8 years, and mean clinical follow-up was 51 ± 21 months. Most patients (30 [91%]) were on a statin and antiplatelet therapy. Twenty-one patients (64%) were symptomatic. Twelve patients (36%) were asymptomatic and underwent combined RCEA with retrograde IAS for critical right carotid stenosis and IA stenosis. Preoperative imaging included a carotid duplex and computed tomography angiography. Eighteen patients (55%) underwent RCEA + IAS, 11 patients (33%) underwent isolated IAS, and 4 patients (12%) underwent AIB. In our attempt to protect bilateral hemispheres during IAS for heavily calcified lesions, we used right common carotid artery (CCA) clamping although open exposure and left CCA embolic protection filter was placed through transfemoral approach. Patients who underwent AIB had chronic heavily calcified IA occlusions or occluded IA stents with failed endovascular interventions. Perioperative stroke rate was 3%, involving 1 patient who developed reperfusion syndrome after RCEA + IAS. Perioperative mortality was 0%. Long-term stroke rate was 0%, and long-term mortality was 15% (5 of 33) because of cardiac disease. Overall restenosis rate was 9%, involving 3 patients who required secondary interventions for IA in-stent restenosis. CONCLUSIONS IA interventions through a hybrid approach or an open approach are safe, with acceptable perioperative stroke and mortality rates. Long-term patency of these interventions is acceptable. Bilateral cerebral embolic protection can be accomplished by clamping the right CCA through an open exposure and placing a filter in the left CCA through a transfemoral approach. Patients undergoing IAS appear to have a higher rate of restenosis compared with AIB, and therefore, close follow-up with noninvasive imaging is recommended.

Concomitant ipsilateral carotid endarterectomy and stenting is an effective treatment for tandem carotid artery lesions. J Vasc Surg 2019; 71:1579-1586.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Data regarding the treatment of tandem carotid artery lesions at the bifurcation and ipsilateral, proximal common carotid artery (CCA) are limited. It has been suggested that concomitant treatment with carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and proximal ipsilateral carotid artery stenting confers a high risk of stroke and death. The objective of this study was to evaluate the technique and outcomes of this hybrid procedure at a single institution. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed including patients who underwent CEA + ipsilateral carotid artery stenting for treatment of atherosclerotic carotid artery disease between December 2007 and April 2017. Primary endpoints were postoperative myocardial infarction, neurologic event, and perioperative mortality. RESULTS Twenty-two patients (15 male [68%]) underwent CEA + ipsilateral carotid artery stenting with a mean follow-up of 67 ± 77 months. The mean age was 70.0 ± 6.1 years old, all with a prior smoking history (eight current smokers [64%]). Twelve patients (55%) were treated for symptomatic disease and three had a prior ipsilateral CEA (one also with CAS). Computed tomographic angiography imaging was performed preoperatively in 21 patients (95%). CEA was performed first in 18 patients (82%) followed by ipsilateral carotid artery stenting. CEA was performed with a patch in 20 and eversion endarterectomy in two patients. Ipsilateral CCA was stented in 21 patients (96%) and one innominate was stented in a patient with a right CEA. Additional endovascular interventions were performed in three patients: 1 innominate stent, 1 distal ipsilateral internal carotid artery stent, and 1 right subclavian artery stent. All proximal stents were placed with sheath access through the endarterectomy patch in 12 (55%), CCA in 7 (32%), and through the arteriotomy before patching in 3 (14%). Distal internal carotid artery clamping was performed in 18 (90%, available 20) of patients before ipsilateral carotid artery stenting. All proximal lesions were successfully treated endovascularly with no open conversion. One dissection was created and treated effectively with stenting. One perioperative stroke (4.5%) occurred in a patient treated for symptomatic disease, 1 postoperative myocardial infarction (4.5%), and 2 patients (9.1%) with cranial nerve injuries. There was one patient who expired within 30 days, shortly after discharge for unknown reasons. The mean length of stay was 2.6 ± 2.0 days. CONCLUSIONS In appropriately selected patients, concomitant CEA and ipsilateral carotid artery stenting can be safely performed in high-risk patients with a low risk of myocardial infarction, neurologic events, and perioperative mortality when careful surgical technique is used, using direct carotid access, and distal carotid clamping for cerebral protection before stenting.
