Abstract

Reimplantation of branch vessels is an important component of thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. The goal of this study was to assess the anatomical results of branch vessel reimplantation, which have rarely been investigated. Among 168 patients who underwent computed tomography after thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, the technique of branch vessel reimplantation and determination of their patency were investigated. Late computed tomographic images were available for 81 patients (mean interval 55.7 ± 29.4 months); they were examined for long-term changes. The early patency rate of the coeliac trunk (n = 150), superior mesenteric artery (n = 126) and right renal artery (n = 109) was 100%, regardless of the reimplantation technique. For 101 left renal arteries reimplanted end-to-end to the branch grafts, the early patency rate was 94.1%. Late new occlusion was found in 1 of 44 (2.3%) of the right renal arteries and in 1 of 53 (1.9%) of the left renal arteries reimplanted into the branch grafts. The patency rate of 240 segmental (intercostal or lumbar) arteries reimplanted in 116 patients differed based on the reimplantation technique used: 92.1% for a large multiple-branch patch, 83.0% for a single-branch patch and...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.
