Abstract

Objective To evaluate the safety, efficacy and durability of endovascular repair for proximal para-anastomotic aneurysms after previous open abdominal aortic aneurysms prosthetic reconstruction and share our experience. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the data of all patients with previous open abdominal aortic aneurysms prosthetic reconstruction who underwent endovascular repair for proximal para-anastomotic aneurysms between May 2003 and January 2013 in our center (Nuremberg South Hospital). Key clinical outcomes included technical success rate, peri-operative morbidity and mortality, mid-term complications, reinterventions and open conversion rates. Results Totally, 24 patients of proximal para-anastomotic aneurysm were treated by endovascular repair. Successful deployments of stent graft were achieved in all patients (100%). Median hospital stay was 6.7 days. One patient had minor type Ia endoleak and one patient developed wound infection. There were no early open conversions and deaths. During a median follow-up of 43 months (range, 7–67 months), computed tomography angiography revealed type Ia endoleaks in four patients (16.7%). The overall reintervention and open conversion rates during follow-up were 16.7% (4/24) and 4.2% (1/24), respectively. Estimates of freedom from reintervention were 91.7% at 1 year, 87.1% at 3 years and 80.9% at 5 years. There was significant difference in freedom from reintervention between proximal para-anastomotic aneurysms patients treated with tube and unibody bifurcated stent grafts (p = 0.034). The cumulative mortality rate was 12.5% (3/24), actuarial analysis for all patients estimated survival rates of 95.8% at 1 year and 87.3% at 5 years. Conclusions Proximal para-anastomotic aneurysms are severe complications after abdominal aortic aneurysm open reconstruction. Closer follow-up and prompt treatment are necessary. Endovascular treatment for proximal para-anastomotic aneurysms is effective, safe and durable. Unibody bifurcated stent graft proved to be suitable for most proximal para-anastomotic aneurysms with various anatomical features.
