Abstract
Introduction of endografting has significantly changed the treatment options of aortic aneurysms; they can be successfully applied for aortic arch or thoracoabdominal aorta aneurysm repairs, as well. In order to create safe landing zones for the endografts on these segments, a modification of the original anatomy is needed using transpositions and/or bypasses, which is called "debranching". These hybrid procedures that combine traditional and endovascular techniques may reduce surgical trauma and offer solution for patients being unfit for major surgery. We carried out a hybrid intervention in a lady who had a 60 mm Crawford Type IV aortic aneurysm including the orifice of the celiac trunk. First, an aorto-splenic artery PTFE bypass was performed and the celiac trunk was oversewn proximally to its trifurcation. The spleen remained viable through the gastroepiploic artery. Four days thereafter we covered the aneurysm using a 34 mm Thoracic Excluder. The patient tolerated both procedures well, and was discharged in stable condition. One year after this intervention, a follow-up CT scan confirmed the good position of the endograft, no endoleak and involution of the aneurysm was detected. Good patency of the aorto-splenic artery by...Continue Reading
