Abstract:
Aim
To report our experience about hypogastric artery coverage during endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for aortoiliac aneurysms in patients younger than 80 years (group A) compared with octogenarian patients (group B).
Methods
Data of consecutive EVAR with hypogastric artery coverage from 01/1998 to 12/2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Primary outcomes were the occurrence of ischemic colitis, type II endoleak and buttock claudication both at 30 days and in the long term. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results
The hypogastric artery was covered in 107 patients. Twenty-three (21.5%) were octogenarian (group B). At 30 days, one type II endoleak occurred in group B, whereas 16 patients of group A experienced buttock claudication. There were no cases of ischemic colitis. During follow-up (median 63.5 months), no cases of ischemic colitis occurred. Six new type II endoleaks were recorded (five in group B and one in group A, P U 0.0001). Buttock claudication persisted in four patients of group A. No new cases of buttock claudication were observed.
Conclusion
Unilateral hypogastric artery coverage
during EVAR for aortoiliac aneurysms can be performed
with an acceptable rate of postoperative complication.
Postoperative buttock claudication was more frequent in
younger patients, whereas a type II endoleak occurred
mostly in octogenarian patients during follow-up.
