Prospective clinical study for claudication after endovascular aneurysm repair involving hypogastric artery embolization. Surg Today 2022; 52:1645-1652. [PMID: 35532782 PMCID: PMC9592672 DOI: 10.1007/s00595-022-02502-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2020] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Purpose This prospective study aimed to assess the prognosis of claudication after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) involving hypogastric artery (HGA) embolization. Methods Patients who were scheduled to undergo EVAR involving bilateral or unilateral HGA embolization (BHE or UHE, respectively) between May 2017 and January 2019 were included in this study. Patients underwent the walk test preoperatively, one week postoperatively, and monthly thereafter for six months. The presence of claudication and the maximum walking distance (MWD) were recorded. A near-infrared spectroscopy monitor was placed on the buttocks, and the recovery time (RT) was determined. A walking impairment questionnaire (WIQ) was completed to determine subjective symptoms. Results Of the 13 patients who completed the protocol, 12 experienced claudication in the 6-min walk test. The MWD was significantly lower at one week postoperatively than preoperatively. The claudication prevalence was significantly higher at five and six months postoperatively after BHE than after UHE. BHE was associated with longer RTs and lower WIQ scores than UHE. Conclusions We noted a trend in adverse effects on the gluteal circulation and subjective symptoms ameliorating within six months postoperatively, with more effects being associated with BHE than with UHE. These findings should be used to make decisions concerning management strategies for HGA reconstruction.

Front Surg 2021; 8:693233.

Abstract
Objective: The combination of isolated common and internal iliac artery aneurysms (CIIAA) are rare, life-threatening, abnormal conditions with relatively complex treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of CIIAA. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 26 patients with CIIAA consecutively treated between January 2010 and August 2020 at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Demographic, clinical characteristic, treatment strategy and outcome data were collected and analyzed. Results: Twenty-six patients (24 men and 2 women) with a mean age of 70 years were included. There was a total of 72 aneurysms, and the mean diameters of the common iliac artery aneurysms (CIAA) and internal iliac artery aneurysms (IIAA) were 36 and 38 mm, respectively. Ten patients (38%) presented with bilateral CIAA and unilateral IIAA, and eight (31%) had CIAA with ipsilateral IIAA. All patients were treated with endovascular repair, and the overall primary technical success rate was 100%. The surgical techniques mainly included combined bifurcated stent grafting and embolization (n = 11), combined straight stent grafting and embolization (n = 8), and internal iliac artery (IIA) reconstruction (n = 7). There were no patient deaths or reintervention during hospitalization. The mean follow-up time was 43 months, and the patency rate of the stent was 96.2%. The overall reintervention rate was 7.7%. During the follow-up period, there were no aneurysm-related deaths. Conclusions: Endovascular repair involving stent graft placement, coil embolization and IIA revascularization is a safe and effective treatment for isolated CIIAA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Isolated internal iliac artery aneurysms (IIIAAs) are rare, life-threatening entities for which the optimal treatment strategy has not been established. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of open and endovascular treatment of IIIAAs. METHODS IIIAA cases between January 2009 and March 2019 at two hospitals were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic, clinical, ancillary testing, treatment, and outcome data were collected and analyzed. RESULTS Forty-two patients (37 men and 5 women) with a mean age of 71 years were included. Twenty-five patients (60%) had a history of hypertension. Twenty-two patients (52%) were asymptomatic, and 16 (38%) presented with abdominal pain (12 with ruptured aneurysms). The 42 included patients had 43 treated IIIAAs. The following surgical techniques were used: surgical resection (n = 6), endovascular coil embolization (n = 12), endovascular stent graft placement across the internal iliac artery origin (n = 8 with 9 aneurysms), and combined coil embolization and stent graft placement (n = 16). The immediate technical success rate was 67%, 67%, and 88% for embolization, stent graft placement, and combined method, respectively. Open surgery was associated with the longest operative time and hospital stay. Overall 30-day mortality was 5% for all patients and 17% for patients with ruptured IIIAAs. Buttock claudication occurred in 7 of 40 patients who survived (18%). The median follow-up time was 56 months. The combined approach was associated with the lowest rates of endoleak (6% vs 25% and 29%) and reintervention (6% vs 17% and 29%) of the three endovascular methods. CONCLUSIONS Endovascular coil embolization with stent graft placement is a feasible, safe, and effective treatment approach for large IIIAAs without adequate aneurysm necks.
