Endoleaks after Endovascular Repair of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms (EVAR)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Endovascular aneurysm repair, or endovascular aortic repair (EVAR), is a type of endovascular surgery used most often to treat an aortic abdominal aneurysm. EVAR is a minimally invasive surgical option and is done without a large incision. Instead, the doctor makes a small incision in the groin. He or she will insert special instruments through a catheter in an artery in the groin and thread them up to the aneurysm. At the aneurysm, your doctor will place the stent and graft to support the aneurysm.
“Endoleaks” are among the unique complications seen after EVAR. An endoleak occurs when blood continues to flow through the aneurysm sac. This animation from Johns Hopkins Division of Vascular Surgery demonstrates various types of endoleaks experienced following placement of a stent during EVAR procedures.

How do you stop a lumbar leak(s) into the aortic sac and remove the blood from that sac to shrink it to reduce the chance of rupture? We have the technology to do almost anything that we wish in any field these days, why can't there be some kind of 'one-way valve' made into the endograft to revisit time-to-time and draw the unwanted blood out of the sac, reducing the size when it enlarges to a concerning point? Or, perhaps a one-way drain catheter that can be placed between the endograft and sac into an inferior vena cava vein? What about a looping a catheter from the lumbar vein leak back into itself if coils to stop the leak doesn't work? Would it be ok to prescribe a calcium channel blocker to help shrink the aorta sac?
What about an eye or two in the coils / screws / staples to sew them into place?
