List local factors associated with development of anastomotic aneurysm.
Arterial wall degen Suture line disruption Prosthetic graft failure Infection/inflammation Technical factors Mechanical stress
List systemic factors associated with anastomotic aneurysm.
Smoking DLP HTN Anticoagulation Vasculitides Generalized arterial weakness
What are indications for treatment for anastomotic aneurysm?
> 2.5cm
symptomatic
Is endovascular better then open repair for anastomotic aneurysms?
endo can offer lower mortality and morbidity rates with high success rates in certain patients
What are the causes of primary AEF?
aneurismal aorta (most common) foreign body tumor radiation infection GI dz
What portion of the duodenum is involved in AEF?
3rd or 4th
Where do secondary AEF and AEE occurs?
AEF suture line
AEE on graft
What are the causes of secondary AEF?
infection pulsatile pressure (graft non compliant) technical error (injury to bowel)
what is the classic triad for secondary AEF?
GI bleeding
abdo pain
pulsatile mass
11%
What is the classic feature of a secondary AEF?
herald bleed
What are findings on CT scan that indicate AEF?
Effacement of fat planes around aorta
Perigraft fluid and soft tissue thickening,
ectopic gas,
tethering of adjacent thickened bowel loops toward aortic graft, rarely extrav
What are signs of AEF on endoscopy?
need to see 3-4th portions visualization of graft ulcer erosion with adherent clot extrinsic pulsatile mass
What are the most common bacteria for primary AEF?
salmonella
klebsiella
What are the most common bacteria for secondary AEF?
s.aureus
What are repair options?
graft excision without replacement if enough ollaterals
insitu graft replacement
neo-aortoiliac procedure
extra-anatomic revasc
endovascular (as bridge)
What grafts can be used for replacement?
allograft
synthetic graft
silver coated dacron
antibiotic impregnated grafts
What are the result of operative repair for AEF?
mortality 30%
amputation 10%
3 yr survival 50%
What are most common complications after PCI?
bleeding/hematoma PSA AVF dissection thrombosis
