Aneurisma micótico de ilíaca derecha / Right iliac mycotic aneurysm

Salmonella es una de las principales causas de gastroenteritis y bacteriemia a nivel mundial. En determinadas ocasiones, puede ser, además, el agente causal de aneurisma de la arteria ilíaca en pacientes con factores predisponentes: mayores de 60 años, diabéticos, hipertensos y sometidos a intervenciones quirúrgicas. El objetivo de la publicación fue evidenciar la presencia de aneurisma micótico por salmonella en iliaca derecha, en un paciente masculino que presentó fiebre, deposiciones líquidas y masa tumoral en región inguinal; para el cual, el diagnóstico clínico, de laboratorio, la ultrasonografía vascular y el Angiotac, ayudaron a tomar la conducta terapéutica más adecuada. Los aneurismas de iliacas de causa bacteriana no son tan infrecuentes, y el cirujano vascular debe saber qué conducta terapéutica elegir en cada caso. Los procederes endovasculares y la cirugía a cielo abierto son dos opciones que deben ser combinadas siempre con la terapia antimicrobiana(AU)

Salmonella is one of the main causes of gastroenteritis and bacteremia worldwide. On certain occasions, it can also be the causative agent of iliac artery aneurysm in patients with predisposing factors: older than 60 years, diabetics, hypertensive and undergoing surgery. The objective of the publication was to show the presence of mycotic aneurysm due to salmonella in the right iliac artery, in a male patient who presented fever, liquid stools and tumor mass in the inguinal region. Clinical and laboratory diagnosis, vascular ultrasonography and Angiotac, helped to take the most appropriate therapeutic approach. Bacterial iliac aneurysms are not so uncommon, and the vascular surgeon must know which therapeutic approach to choose in each case. Endovascular procedures and open surgery are two options that should always be combined with antimicrobial therapy(AU)

Isolated external iliac artery aneurysm: a rare case presentation of IgG4-related disease.

Isolated external iliac artery aneurysm is a rare occurrence. These aneurysms have varied presentations depending on size and proximity. Both open surgical and endovascular modalities can be used for treatment depending upon presentation, aneurysmal anatomy, and patient condition. Preservation of at least one internal iliac artery is important to prevent post-repair hypogastric ischemia. There are no previous reports of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) as etiology of these aneurysms. A 32-year-old male patient presented with a left lower abdominal lump and was found to have a left external iliac artery aneurysm on computed tomography angiography. The patient underwent iliofemoral bypass with an 8 mm polyester graft. Histopathological examination of the aneurysm wall suggested IgG4-RD. The patient fulfilled the 2020 Revised Comprehensive Diagnostic Criteria for IgG4-RD. An 18-Fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography scan performed in the postoperative period showed no active disease, hence medical therapy was not instituted. The patient is doing well at 1 year.

O aneurisma isolado da artéria ilíaca externa é uma ocorrência rara. Esses aneurismas têm apresentações variadas, dependendo do tamanho e da proximidade. Ambas as modalidades cirúrgicas aberta e endovascular podem ser usadas para o tratamento, dependendo da apresentação, anatomia do aneurisma e condição do paciente. A preservação de pelo menos uma artéria ilíaca interna é importante para prevenir isquemia hipogástrica pós-reparação. A doença relacionada à imunoglobulina G4 (IgG4-RD) nunca havia sido encontrada como etiologia desse aneurisma. Um paciente do sexo masculino de 32 anos que apresentava um nódulo no abdome inferior esquerdo foi diagnosticado com aneurisma da artéria ilíaca externa esquerda na angiotomografia computadorizada. O paciente foi submetido a bypass iliofemoral com enxerto de poliéster de 8 mm. O exame histopatológico da parede do aneurisma era indicativo de IgG4-RD. O paciente cumpriu os Critérios Abrangentes Revisados ​​para IgG4-RD de 2020. A tomografia por emissão de pósitrons com 18-fluorodesoxiglicose no pós-operatório não evidenciou doença ativa, não sendo instituída terapia medicamentosa. Após seguimento de 1 ano, o paciente está bem.

Isolated iliac artery aneurysm in association with congenital pelvic kidney treated with iliac branch device: case report.

BACKGROUND: Association of abdominal aortic aneurysm with congenital pelvic kidney is rare and association with isolated iliac artery aneurysm is not yet described in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of successful repair of an isolated common iliac artery aneurysm associated with a congenital pelvic kidney treated by an endovascular technique. A 75-year-old man was referred for the treatment of an asymptomatic left common iliac artery aneurysm. A computed tomography angiography revealed an isolated left common iliac artery aneurysm and a left pelvic kidney. The maximum diameter of the aneurysm was 32 mm. The congenital pelvic kidney was supplied by three small superior polar arteries that emerged from the proximal non-aneurysmal portion of the common iliac artery and the main artery that arose from the left internal iliac artery. The aneurysm exclusion was accomplished by using an iliac branch device (Gore Excluder Iliac Branch, Flagstaff, AZ). The 1 and 6 months computed tomography angiography after the procedure demonstrated complete exclusion of the aneurysm and preservation of all renal arteries. CONCLUSION: Treating patients with an association of iliac artery aneurysms and pelvic kidneys can be a challenge due the variable arterial anatomy. The use of iliac branch device is a safe and effective alternative in selected cases.

Hombre de 65 años con dolor lumbar crónico y cambios en la aortografía / A 65-year-old man with chronic lumbar pain and changes in aortography

A 65-year-old male with medical history of hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and arterial hypertension well controlled by glibenclamide, and amlodipine plus enalapril for about a decade was referred to our service because of the recent fndings in aortography (Figure 1: A, B, and C). He was not a smoker, neither a heavy alcohol drinker, and had chronic lumbar pain related to degenerative spondyloarthropathy. Previous imaging studies had showed narrowing of the disc space and reduction of the diameter of spinal canal on L4 and L5. During evaluation of control, an incidental image was observed in the right side of his pelvis, and the aortography was done. On presentation, BMI was 33 kg/m2, temperature was 36°C, blood pressure was 120x80 mmHg, with 80 bpm and 14 irpm, and there were no signifcant physical fndings on abdominal region. Laboratory fndings (normal ranges) revealed unremarkable blood counts and thyroid function; total cholesterol 289 (<200 mg/dL), HDL 54 (30-60 mg/ dL), LDL 206 (100-190 mg/dL), and tryglicerides 147 (<180 mg/dL); glucose 70 (70-99 mg/dL), uric acid 8.7 (2.5-7.0 mg/dL), urea 57 (14-50 mg/dL) with creatinine clearance 129.6 (≥129 ml/min); and PSA 0.5 (<4.0 ng/mL). After a successful open invasive procedure, he was discharged to outpatient.
