ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To report the use of a branched, balloon-deployable stent-graft to treat abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in the setting of a solitary kidney. CASE REPORT: A 72-year-old man with a solitary intrapelvic kidney and multiple comorbid conditions was diagnosed with an asymptomatic 5.3-cm abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA); the renal artery emerged from the aneurysm sac. A customized branched, balloon-deployable, aortomonoiliac stent-graft was utilized to exclude the AAA and preserve perfusion to the single renal artery. A synthetic bypass was then implanted to restore perfusion to the contralateral limb. The diameter of the aneurysm decreased from 5.3 to 2.7 cm at 18 months. The renal artery was patent without evidence of stenosis; renal function was normal. CONCLUSION: The deployment of a novel branched stent-graft represents an interesting alternative approach to the treatment of a juxtarenal aneurysm.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To determine the evolution of the proximal aortic neck diameter in mid- to long-term follow-up after endovascular aneurysm repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with a balloon-expandable stent-graft. METHODS: Thirty patients (27 men; average age 71 years, range 56-87) with infrarenal AAAs were treated with the SETA-Latecba balloon-expandable stent-graft (6 aortomonoiliac and 24 bifurcated configurations). Follow-up ranged from 4 to 8 years (mean 73.4 months). Computed tomography was done systematically before the procedure, after implantation (1-3 months), at 1 year, and annually thereafter. The last follow-up scan was utilized to measure the proximal neck for purposes of comparison with baseline and the initial post-implant scans. RESULTS: Five patients died during follow-up of causes unrelated to the procedure. No endoleaks or graft migrations were observed. The pre-deployment proximal neck diameter (a) averaged 23.4 mm (range 18-32), the diameter after deployment of the stent-graft (b) averaged 24.9 mm (range 18-34), and the most recent follow-up proximal neck measurement (c) averaged 23.8 mm (range 18-31). Comparing the last follow-up to the post-implant measurements (c-b), the neck diameter decreased in 15 (50%) patients [7 with short necks (i.e., <15 mm)] and remained unchanged (no variation) in 15 (50%) patients (4 with short necks). All patients treated with the SETA-Latecba balloon-expandable stent-graft showed stability of the proximal aortic neck diameter in mid- to long-term follow-up. CONCLUSION: The study showed that the diameter reached at initial deployment did not increase further in the long term, which supports the safety and reliability of this modular balloon-expandable stent-graft and illustrates that this device does not produce dilatation of the proximal neck after deployment. Future dilatation of the aortic neck is unlikely, and consequently, migration or delayed type I endoleak are also unlikely.
