ANEURYSMS , TYPES AND THERE MANAGEMENT.pptxBipul Thakur
Discussion about different types of Aneurysm, details about Abdominal aorta aneurysm and brief discussion about some important peripheral aneurysms.
Includes approach to different forms of Abdominal aortic aneurysm, its management and complications related to the surgery.
This topic is under the Chapter - Arterial Disorders. The MBBS Students should know the types of Aneurysms and particularly Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms.
What separates an accomplished cardiac surgeon from the reat is the right patient selection for surgery. This PPT will give insight when its best not to opearte on a mitral valve
This presentation is no way to discredit TAVI or bring the positives of SAVR. Its about trials when short term outcomes of TAVI are compared to long term benefits of surgery.

4. INTRODUCTION
The term ANEURYSM is derived from the Greek
word ANEURYSMA meaning “ a widening”
An ANEURYSM is defined as a permanent
localized dilation of artery having at least a 50 %
increase in diameter compared with the expected
normal diameter.
Normal arterial diameter is dependent on
age,gender,body size and other factors.
5. An Aneurysm is defined as a localized dilation at
least 50 % larger than an adjacent normal portion of
the same artery.
ECTASIA- Arterial dilation less than 50% above
normal
ARTERIOMEGALY– Diffuse arterial enlargement
involving several arterial segments with an increase
in diameter greater than 50% above normal.
6. HSTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
2000 B.C – PAPYRUS – Description of traumatic
aneurysms of the peripheral arteries.
131 A.D – GALEN -- Defined an aneurysms as a
localized pulsatile swelling that disappeared on
pressure.
1793 A.D – JOHN HUNTER -- Operated for a
pulsatile mass in popliteal fossa.
7. HISTORICAL ASPECT
1950 A.D – ALEXIS CARREL/ DeBakey and
Cooley – Demonstrated a segment of aorta can be
replaced by another artery or vein.
1953 A.D – BAHNSON– First successful
repair of ruptured aortic aneurysm.
1954 A.D – ETHEREDGE– Repair of
thoracoabdominal aneurysm .
1991A.D -- PARODI – Revolutionary minimally
invasive endovascular approach.
8. Types of Arteries
Elastic arteries – the largest arteries
Diameters range from 2.5 cm to 1 cm
Includes the aorta and its major branches
Sometimes called conducting arteries
High elastin content dampens surge of blood
pressure
Figure 19.2a
15. True/false aneurysm
Aneurysm focal dialation greater than 1.5
times normal diameter
True aneurysm contains all layers of arterial wall.
False aneurysm dialation covered by thick
fibrinous capsule.
16. PSEUDOANEURYSM
Injury to wall of vessel allows blood to escape from vessel into
adjacent tissue
Extravasated blood coagulates and becomes a mass along side the
vessel
This mass of blood (hematoma) gives the impression that there is
an aneurysm

Quill. Surg Clin North Am 1989;69:713-20.
59. CT Imaging
Precise test – provides good
images of aorta,aortic
lumen,branch vessels and
adjacent retroperitoneal
structures.
Shows size and extent of
aneurysm and relation to renal
and iliac arteries.
SPIRAL CT – 3 dimensional
image.
67. MRI/ MR ANGIOGRAPHY
Use of contrast agents have made it possible to
produce high quality images of aorta.
Useful for planning and follow up of endovascular
repair.
Less sensitive than CT scan in identifying accessory
renal arteries.
69. SELECTION OF PATIENTS
When the maximal diameter of aneurysm reaches
5.5 cm – risk of rupture increases
-- aneurysm repair indicated.
Patient with evidence of rapid expansion,tenderness
in the region of aneurysm ,back or abdominal pain –
urgent repair.
Patient with significant coronary disease– referred
for coronary revascularization before surgical repair.
Anatomy of aneurysm determines– type of repair.

110. AAA - RUPTURE- Treatment
A) EMERGENCY SURGERY
:: First successful repair of a ruptured AAA was by Cooley
and DeBakey in 1954
:: More than 98% of ruptures occur below the renal arteries.
:: Exploration -- through MIDLINE incision
IF aorta approached at infra renal level– it should be clamped
PROXIMAL CONTROL– At the level of diaphragm
111. ABDOMINAL AORTIC RUPTURE
OTHER METHODS
Compression at diaphragm
Placement of aortic balloon
catheters
Foley catheters via puncture of
the aneurysm
112. AORTIC DISSECTION
Aortic dissection is characterized by separation of
the aortic wall layers by extraluminal blood that
usually enters the aortic wall through an intimal
tear.
ACUTE– IF patients are seen within 14 days
CHRONIC– IF they are seen beyond 14 days
associated with HYPERTENSION
MALE > FEMALE
113.
114. DeBakey Classification
Type I – involves the ascending aorta and variable
extent on the descending thoracic or
thoracoabdominal aorta.
Type II – limited to the ascending aorta.
Type III – involving the descending thoracic aorta
without III a or with III b extension to the abdominal
aorta.
116. SURGICAL TECHNIQUES
1) GRAFT REPLACEMENT
removing the most threatening area
closing the entry site of dissection
reestablishing blood flow in distal aorta
2) AORTOPLASTY
suture of intimal tear at entry site
3) FENESTRATION
creating a large reentry from the false lumen
into the true lumen.
117. THORACO ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM
Aneurysms that involve the thoracic and abdominal
aorta or those aneurysms including the visceral
aortic segments .
Etiology– degenerative– 80%
sequelae of chronic dissection– 20%
c/f-- sudden development of severe pain– back
/epigastric/flank pain
others– hoarseness/cough
hemoptysis/dysphagia lusoria
118. Crawford classification
Type I – involves Descending thoracic aorta and
abdominal aorta proximal to renal arteries.
Type II – Most of DTA + AA distal to renal
arteries
Type III – Involves aorta distal to renal arteries.
Type IV – Involves all or most of the abdominal
aorta including the paravisceral segment.
119. (MYCOTIC ANEURYSMS)
“Infected aneurysm" has gradually replaced the original
designation "mycotic aneurysm”
Saccular aneurysms are seen most commonly .
Leukocytosis and an Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation
rate (in 73% of the cases)
weight loss
The aneurysm is palpable in 50 to 60% of the cases and
almost always tender
.
The onset is insidious, and a low-grade fever may be present
for several months before diagnosis .
120. Management
Infected aortic aneurysms are treated with intravenous
antibiotics and surgical excision.
Antibiotic therapy must be continued postoperatively for at
least 6 weeks.
The standard surgical approach involves
1.Resection of the infected aneurysm and
infected retroperitoneal tissue
2.Restoration of distal perfusion by placement of an extra-
anatomical bypass graft tunneled through unaffected tissue
planes to avoid placing a graft in a contaminated region.
121. SYPHILITIC ANEURYSM
Seen in tertiary stage of syphilis with
obliterative endarteritis of vasa vasorum
and aortitis
Roughening of intima: “Tree barking”
Involves the thoracic aorta
Complications include rupture, aortic
insufficiency, and narrowing of coronary
ostia
123. BERRY ANEURYSM
Involve cerebral arteries at bifurcations
Probably arise at congenital points of
weakness in wall
Can rupture and result in subarachnoid
hemorrhage
Clinically may see headache, stiff neck
(meningeal irritation) and death
124. HIV RELATED ANEURYSM
Often MULTIPLE/ and at unusual sites
occur at–COMMON CAROTID

c/f -- Chest/neck/shoulder pain
neurological dysfunction- brachial plexus
hoarseness—Rt. Recurrent laryngeal nerve
Respiratory insufficiency- trachea
Hemoptysis– lung apex erosion.
133. SUBCLAVIAN- AXILLARY ANEURYSM
POST STENOTIC DILATATION--- OUTLET OBSTRUCTION
Younger patients/females/ right side more common
Associated with CERVICAL RIBS
Associated with Raynauds phenomenon.
ARTERIOGRAPHY – To assess the degree of post
stenotic dilation of the subclavian artery.
Rx—significant dilation– CERVICAL RIB removal
vascular reconstruction– mobilization with end
to end anastomosis with or without short
interposition vein or prosthetic graft.
134. KOMMERELL’S DIVERTICULUM
ABERRANT RIGHT SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY
Most common congenital abnormality of aortic arch
Dysphagia lusoria– esophagus compressed against
postr. Trachea
Rx – propensity to cause symptom and lethal rupture

Why is Using Max Diameter a Problem?
Fillinger et al, Journal of Vascular Surgery April 2003 p726
Both AAAs have max diameters of 5.5cm
“A” ruptured after 18 months of this scan
“B” is still under observation after more than 3 years
Max stress of “A” is more than twice that of “B”
Small Aneurysms are known to rupture

144. EAAA in 2009
There are many new grafts available, now they
are ‘Second Generation’
Data from EUROSTAR (4000+ patients)
Newer grafts have better 3-year mortality
Fewer secondary interventions
Fewer conversions of open repair
Fewer graft rupture
Shorter hospital stay

Wall stress could be a potential tool to replace
maximum diameter.
RETROPERITONEAL APPROACH
operative mortality – 12 % compared to 35%
with transperitoneal approach.

147. TAKE HOME MESSAGE
Increased screening and follow up has reduced
mortality with aneurysms.
Now not the size but the wall stress is important
indicator for rupture aneurysm.
Endograft AAA repair is still a developing field with
promise- 2nd generation grafts have reduced
operative complications.
For open surgeries retroperitoneal approach has its
own advantage.
Radiologist and surgeons need better understanding
to deal with aneurysms for its a team work.
