Abstract

Perigraft leak is one of the significant problems associated with transluminal placement of stent-grafts in the treatment of aortic aneurysms. This report describes the authors' experience with transcatheter coil embolization for the treatment of perigraft leaks. Ten patients who underwent transluminal placement of stent-grafts for the treatment of aortic aneurysms were treated. All patients had one or more tracts between the aortic wall and stent-graft or between two stent-grafts, resulting in residual aneurysm filling. All tracts were embolized by means of transcatheter deposition of platinum or steel coils. In all patients, all tracts were embolized completely and residual aneurysm filling was eliminated. Complete thrombosis of the aneurysm was confined on follow-up spiral computed tomography in all 10 cases. Two cases required two embolization procedures to completely embolize the tracts. No recurrent leaks or aneurysm expansions were identified on follow-up studies. Although long-term effectiveness remains to be proved, the initial results with transcatheter coil embolization of tracts are encouraging and suggest this technique is a safe and effective method for the management of perigraft leaks after endovascular placemen...Continue Reading

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
