Angiotomografía en sospecha de enfermedad oclusiva aorto-ilíaca (o síndrome de Leriche) / CT angiography for suspected aortoiliac occlusive disease (or Leriche syndrome) / Angiotomografia por suspeita de doença oclusiva aorto-ilíaca (ou síndrome de Leriche)

Introducción. El síndrome de Leriche fue definido en 1940 por René Leriche como una enfermedad oclusiva aorto-ilíaca. Su importancia radica en que ocupa el segundo lugar en incidencia dentro de las enfermedades oclusivas arteriales, después de la enfermedad de la arteria femoral superficial. Objetivo. Presentar el caso clínico de un paciente con Síndrome de Leriche cuyo diagnóstico trombótico fue confirmado por una angiotomografía computarizada con su respectiva reestructuración en 3D. Adicionalmente, se informa al lector sobre los datos propios de la patología a través de una breve revisión de la literatura. Caso clínico. Paciente masculino con síntomas clínicos agudos de enfermedad oclusiva aorto-ilíaca o síndrome de Leriche en una extremidad. Se realiza el respectivo procesamiento de imagen asistida por computador (reconstrucción tridimensional) que evidencia la patología a pesar de que la ecografía Doppler no determinó trombosis inicial. Discusión. En procesos oclusivos arteriales se emplean técnicas no invasivas como la ecografía y la angiotomografía. Sin embargo, esta última es la técnica por excelencia, sobre todo para procesos trombóticos, pues agiliza la anticoagulación, así como el abordaje terapéutico. Conclusiones. La angiotomografía es una técnica no invasiva con alta sensibilidad y especificidad para detectar estenosis aorto-ilíaca. Se ha convertido en una gran herramienta diagnostica por sus alcances imagenológicos, como la obtención de imágenes iso volumétricas, que permiten evaluar todo el trayecto arterial en los diferentes planos, por medio del uso de medios de contraste, superando en resultados a la ecografía.

Introduction. Leriche syndrome was defined in 1940 by René Leriche as an aortoiliac occlusive disease. Its importance lies in it occupying second place in the incidence of occlusive arterial diseases, after superficial femoral artery disease. Objective. Present the clinical case of a patient with Leriche syndrome whose diagnosis of thrombosis was confirmed by a computed tomography angiography with its respective 3D reconstruction. Additionally, the reader is given information about the pathology through a brief summary of the literature. Clinical case. Male patient with acute clinical symptoms of aortoiliac occlusive disease or Leriche syndrome in one limb. The respective computer-assisted image processing (three-dimensional reconstruction) is carried out, which shows the pathology, despite the Doppler ultrasound not initially establishing thrombosis. Discussion. Non-invasive techniques are used in procedures for occlusive arteries, such as ultrasound and CT angiography. However, the latter is a technique par excellence, above all for thrombosis procedures, as well as the therapeutic approach. Conclusions. CT angiography is a non-invasive technique with high sensitivity and specificity in the detection of aortoiliac stenosis. It has become a great diagnostic tool because of its imagery scope, such as obtaining isovolumic images, which enable the assessment of the entire arterial route in different planes, through the use of contrast media, producing more results than the ultrasound.

Enfermedad oclusiva aortoilíaca o síndrome de Leriche / Aorto-iliac occlusive arterial disease or Leriche´s syndrome

La enfermedad oclusiva aortoilíaca, o síndrome de Leriche, es una forma de la enfermedad arterial periférica, en la cual existe una oclusión de las arterias ilíacas desde su bifurcación. Su manifestación clínica es variable y la claudicación intermitente es la más frecuente; no obstante, es una enfermedad usualmente subdiagnosticada por su cronicidad y el sedentarismo de los adultos mayores, quienes más la presentan. Para el diagnóstico se cuenta con un abanico de opciones, que incluyen pruebas invasivas y no invasivas; la arteriografía es el método de elección. El tratamiento, por su parte, involucra cambios en el estilo de vida aunados a un tratamiento conservador o quirúrgico, según cada individuo

Aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) or Leriche's syndrome is a form of peripheral arterial disease in which there is occlusion of the iliac arteries starting at the aorto- iliac bifurcation. Clinical manifestation are variable, with intermittent claudication being the most frequent; nevertheless, it is usually underdiagnosed because of its chronicity and the sedentarism of the elderly, the age group that is most frequently affected. A variety of options are available for the diagnosis, including invasive and non-invasive tests, arteriography being the method of choice. Treatment involves changes in the lifestyle coupled with a conservative or surgical management depending on the individual patient

Paracoccidioidomicosis: presentación inusual / Paracoccidioidomicosis: presentación inusual

Se presenta un paciente masculino, de 63 años de edad, con antecedentes de enfermedad de Leriche y colocación de prótesis vascular. Es internado en terapia intensiva por infarto intestinal e isquemia aguda de miembro inferior derecho por lo cual es intervenido quirúrgicamente. Mediante el hallazgo de Paracoccidioides sp en prótesis vascular y otros órganos internos, asociados a lesiones cutáneas y compromiso pulmonar, se realiza el diagnóstico de paracoccidioidomicosis crónica multifocal. Destacamos el compromiso de la prótesis como parte de la diseminación fúngica (AU)

A 63-year-old male patient with a history of Leriche disease and vascular prosthesis placement is reported. He is admitted to intensive care unit with intestinal infarct and acute ischemia of his right lower limb for which he underwent surgery. Paracoccidioides sp findings in vascular prostheses and other internal organs, associated with skin lesions and pulmonary involvement, allowed the diagnosis of chronic multifocal paracoccidioidomycosis. We emphasize the commitment of the prosthesis as part of fungal dissemination on this case (AU)

Successful Surgical Treatment for Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm with Leriche Syndrome

Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm accompanied by Leriche syndrome is an extremely rare combination of aortic diseases, the surgical management of which has not been described to date. We report the successful treatment of one such case through open surgical repair of the thoracoabdominal aorta.

Right Calf Claudication Revealing Leriche Syndrome Presenting as Right Sciatic Neuropathy

The syndrome of aortoiliac occlusive disease, also known as Leriche syndrome, is characterized by claudication, pain, and diminished femoral pulse. We highlight an unusual case of right sciatic neuropathy caused by Leriche syndrome, which was initially misdiagnosed. A 52-year-old male, with a past medical history of hypertension and bony fusion of the thoracolumbar spine, visited our hospital complaining of right leg pain and claudication, and was initially diagnosed with spinal stenosis. The following electrophysiologic findings showed right sciatic neuropathy; but his symptom was not relieved, despite medications for neuropathy. A computed tomography angiography of the lower extremities revealed the occlusion of the infrarenal abdominal aorta, and bilateral common iliac and right external iliac arteries. All these findings suggested omitted sciatic neuropathy associated with Leriche syndrome, and the patient underwent a bilateral axillo-femoral and femoro-femoral bypass graft.

Diagnóstico por tomografía del Síndrome de Leriche: reporte de un caso clínico / Tomography diagnostic of Leriche Syndrome: report of a clinical case

La Angiotomografía se ha convertido en una herramienta diagnóstica fundamental en la evaluación del sistema vascular, aumentando el uso en la valoración preoperatoria y diagnóstica de la patología vascular tanto de arterias cerebrales, aorta, renales y femoral entre otros, permitiendo un análisis de la pared del vaso, de tejidos y órganos adyacentes. Presentamos el caso clínico de una paciente de 59 años de edad, fumadora de 144 cigarrillos al año durante diez años, antecedentes de hipertensión arterial, hipercolesterinemia sisté-mica, que acude por presenta, claudicación intermitente, pie pálido en ambos miembros inferiores, ausencia de pulsos poplíteos, tibial posterior y pedios y en miembro inferior derecho presento un área de necrosis micotica en primer ortejo de pie, se realizó la Angiotomografía concluyendo que se trata de un Síndrome de Leriche o enfermedad oclusiva aortoilíaca.

The Angiotomography has become a major diagnostic tool in the evaluation of the vascular system, increasing use in preoperative assessment and diagnostic vascular pathology both cerebral arteries, aorta, kidney and femoral among others, permitting an analysis of the wall vessel, adjacent tissues and organs. We report the case of a 59 year old smoking 144 cigarettes a year for ten years, history of hypertension, systemic hypercholesterolemia, which goes by shows, intermittent claudication, pale foot in both lower limbs, absent po-pliteal pulse , posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis and right leg present an area of necrosis in the first fungal toe standing, the Angiography was performed and concluded that it is a Leriche syndrome or aortoiliac occlusive disease.

Complete Revascularization of Juxtarenal Aortic Occlusion by Endovascular Treatment and Adjunctive Anticoagulation / 대한내과학회지

Chronic atherosclerotic occlusion of the abdominal aorta is a rare disease in clinical practice. In this disease, juxtarenal aortic occlusion is defined as the condition extended, adjacent to the renal arteries. The treatment of juxtarenal aortic occlusion is more difficult than a 'simple' abdominal aortic occlusion. Vascular surgery of a juxtarenal aortic occlusion-specifically aortic endarterectomy and bypass grafting-is a challenging procedure that almost invariably requires aortic cross-clamping above the level of the renal arteries, and may be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. With the advent of endovascular treatment, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stent implantation have been used increasingly as an alternative to conventional surgery in the management of patients with aortoiliac disease. However, endovascular treatment for juxtarenal aortic occlusion is not common and, also, special attention is needed with regard to possible renal complications. Here, we report the successful revascularization of a case of chronic juxtarenal aortic occlusion with endovascular treatment and adjunctive anticoagulation.

Ten year outcomes after bypass surgery in aortoiliac occlusive disease / 대한외과학회지

PURPOSE: Most outcome studies of bypass surgery are limited to five years of follow-up. However, as human life expectancy has increased, analyses of more long-term outcomes are needed. The aim of this study is to evaluate 10-year outcomes of anatomical bypasses in aortoiliac occlusive disease. METHODS: From 1996 to 2009, 92 patients (82 males and 10 females) underwent aortic anatomical bypasses to treat aortoiliac occlusive disease at Samsung Medical Center. The patients were reviewed retrospectively. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were performed using PASW ver. 18.0 (IBM Co). RESULTS: A total of 72 patients (78.3%) underwent aorto-femoral bypasses (uni- or bi-femoral), 15 patients (16.3%) underwent aorto-iliac bypasses (uni- or bi-iliac), and 5 patients (5.4%) underwent aorto-iliac and aorto-femoral bypasses. The overall primary patency rates of the 92 patients were 86.2% over 5 years and 77.6% over 10 years. The 10-year limb salvage rate and overall survival rate were 97.7% and 91.7%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The overall patency rates of bypass graft and limb salvage rates decreased as time passed. The analysis of results after bypass surgery to treat arterial occlusive disease will be needed to extend for 10 years of follow-up.

Descending Thoracic Aorto-bifemoral Artery Bypass Grafting in a Leriche's Syndrome / 대한흉부외과학회지

Extra-anatomic graft bypass is frequently performed instead of standard infrarenal aorto-iliac reconstruction in patients with Leriche syndrome in whom the thrombus extends to the level of the renal arteries. However, many different surgical options are still being attempted due to the unsatisfying long-term graft patency. We performed a descending thoracic aorto-bifemoral bypass graft with 14 and 14-7-7 mm artificial vessels through a posterolateral thoracotomy, a median laparotomy, and a longitudinal inguinal incision in a 48-year-old male who suffered from claudication with Leriche syndrome. After surgery, the patient recovered well and was discharged. The patient walked well without any symptoms during the 6 month follow-up period in the outpatient department. We have concluded that descending thoracic aorto-bifemoral bypass grafting could be considered as an alternative method for patients with Leriche syndrome in whom standard infrarenal aorto-iliac reconstruction is unsuitable.

Early morbidity and mortality after retroperitoneal repair of the abdominal aorta with modification of the patient's position

Repair of the abdominal aorta is a major procedure that has a considerable morbidity and mortality. Efforts are exerted to reduce this operative risk, one of which is the surgical approach of the Aorta. This study was carried out to evaluate the retroperitoneal approach regarding morbidity and mortality during the operation and for 30 days afterward and to evaluate the accessibility of this approach while the patient in supine. Nineteen patients with a mean age of 65.5 years were admitted for the repair of Abdominal Aorta between March 2004 and March 2006. To repair the Aorta of these patients it was approached retroperitonealy, using the standard technique with modification of the patient's position. Operative and post-operative data were measured and compared to the literature. Mean operative time, intra-operative fluid replacement and ICU stays were less compared to the transperitoneal approach. Normal intestinal sounds were regained after 2 days in most of the patients. Mean hospital stay was 6.7 days with no mortality. This study supports that retroperitoneal approach has early morbidity and mortality that is comparable to the accepted rate of complications in literatures. This approach provides a convenient exposure to treat different anatomical lesion of the distal Aorta and iliac arteries, when we operate with the patient in the neutrally supine position

Transaxillary Renal Artery Angioplasty and Stenting in a Single-Kidney Patient with Leriches Syndrome / 대한신장학회지

We report a case of renovascular hypertension (RVH) by severe left renal artery stenosis (RAS) that was successfully treated by percutaneous intervention in a single-kidney patient with Leriches syndrome. A 51-year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to uncontrolled hypertension on medications with maximal doses. CT angiography showed complete occlusion of the infrarenal abdominal aorta, the absence of the right kidney and the approximately 80% stenosis of the proximal left renal artery. The proximal left RAS was considered as an important factor in uncontrolled secondary hypertension and aggravation of his renal function. We made an attempt to relieve the RAS by transaxillary renal artery angioplasty and stenting because of the total occlusion of the bilateral iliac artery. His renal function was remarkably improved and his hypertension was well controlled with less antihypertensive medications after the procedure.

Síndrome de leriche: a propósito de un caso / Syndrome of leriche: a purpose of a case

EL SINDROME DE LERICHE o Síndrome de Obliteración Aorto Iliaca, es un síndrome causado por la obstrucción de la Aorta Terminal¹. Es un disturbio que afecta generalmente a varones jóvenes, entre los 30 y 40 años de edad². La enfermedad arteriosclerótica oclusiva crónica suele afectar a la Aorta abdominal distal, por debajo de las arterias renales. El síndrome se caracteriza por la triada de: disminución o ausencia de pulsos femorales, claudicación o dolor en los glúteos y las piernas al caminar y la impotencia para la erección del pene. Se presenta caso de paciente masculino de 73 años de edad con enfermedad actual de cinco meses de evolución, el cual fue ingresado al servicio de Medicina Interna del Hospital Central de San Cristóbal en el mes de abril de 2005 con el diagnóstico de Enfermedad Arterial Periférica (Síndrome de Leriche) al cual se le realizó arteriografía que revelo obstrucción total de la aorta abdominal por debajo del origen de las arterias renales, confirmado mediante laparotomía exploradora, presentando posteriormente las complicaciones clásicas principales de las arteriopatías obstructivas de las extremidades inferiores.

A Case of Leriche Syndrome Manifested by Anuria / 대한신장학회잡지

Leriche syndrome is an aortoiliac occlusive disease. The aortoiliac junction is the most common sites of chronic obliterative atherosclerosis. Leriche syndrome has a variety of clinical symptoms attributed to the obstruction of the infrarenal aorta. Common clinical symptoms include thigh, hip, and buttock claudication as well as erectile impotence, usually in association with diminished femoral pulses. But acute anuric renal failure as first manifestation of Leriche syndrome is very uncommon. Contrast-enhanced 3D MRA appears to be well suited for assessment of patients with suspected Leriche syndrome. We report a 75-year-old man who presents anuria as first manifestation of Leriche syndrome.
