Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Conventional access for endovascular infrarenal aortic aneurysm repair is through the femoral artery. In rare circumstances, an anomalous persistent sciatic artery may replace the femoral arterial system as the main blood supply of the lower extremity. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman with a rapidly expanding infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. Preoperative computed tomography revealed a right persistent sciatic artery with an ipsilateral atrophic femoral artery. Her aortic aneurysm was successfully repaired using an endovascular approach with access through the right persistent sciatic artery and contralateral femoral artery. A persistent sciatic artery can be used as an access for endovascular treatment of an infrarenal aortic aneurysm. This technique can be extrapolated to the treatment of distal or contralateral aneurysms, precluding the need for open operation.

This is a case report of a femoral artery infection with fatal outcome after using a percutaneous suture mediated closure device: A 77-year old patient underwent diagnostic angiography of his thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm, the puncture site was closed with the Perclose® system. He developed a staphylococcal femoral artery infection with groin abscess, requiring surgical intervention with debridement and removal of the Perclose® suture. After stent graft exclusion of the thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm a staphylococcal sepsis occurred and the patient died of aneurysm rupture months later despite long term antibiotic therapy. Since the use of the Perclose® device carries an increased risk of femoral artery infection with septic endarteritis and bacteremia, it should not be used in routine diagnostic angiography.

Middle Mesenteric Artery

Middle mesenteric artery has been described in 1923. We report the observation of a patient with an abdominal aortic aneurysm who had this rare artery arising from the anterior wall of the aneurysmal sac. His inferior mesenteric artery was occluded at its origin from the aorta and the middle and the distal colon was vascularized only by the middle mesenteric artery. Occlusion of this artery would have been necessary before endovascular repair of the aneurysm. We were concerned about the risk of colic ischemia after the occlusion of the middle mesenteric artery, so we abandoned this approach and operated on the patient via a laparotomy. Based on a case report, we here report a literature overview on the repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm in the presence of a middle mesenteric artery.

The Common

We encountered a patient with a large retroperitoneal hematoma due to rupture of a common femoral artery aneurysm. A 77-year-old man was transferred to our hospital with left groin pain and shock. Computed tomography demonstrated a large retroperitoneal hematoma involving the left iliofemoral segment with extravasation of contrast into the left groin from a ruptured left common femoral artery aneurysm. The patient also had an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Reconstruction of the common femoral artery with a graft was performed successfully. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and subsequently underwent Y-graft replacement of the abdominal aortic aneurysm.
