Endovascular stent-graft repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm in a patient with cardiac and renal dysfunction

Abstract: This case report details our experience with endovascular stent-graft repair for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in a patient who was previously treated by left ventricular remodeling for dilated cardiomyopathy. Renal dysfunction with an elevated creatinine level (1.59 mg/dl) was managed by reducing the dose of contrast medium utilizing intravascular ultrasonography. Using a Zenith AAA endovascular device, the aneurysmal sac was successfully excluded and was thrombosed. Endovascular stenting is a good treat… Show more

“…The protection of renal perfusion is very important in these patients. Decreased dose of contrast agent and monitorization of renal function positively affect renal and cardiac insufficiency (6). In a meta-analysis including 42 nonrandomized studies, the rates of early mortality, paraplegia, renal failure, need for transfusion, postoperative bleeding, cardiac complications, pneumonia, and hospitalization were reported to be lower in this technique than in open surgery (7).…”

“…The giant AAA 9 cm in diameter was impending rupture and needed to be prevented. We performed simultaneously EVAR and CABG because of the advantages of EVAR in high-risk patients [12]. EVAR is more feasible, safer, and less invasive than open repair.…”

“…Particularly, patients at high risk for open abdominal repair have more benefit than low-risk patients. 10) One new, alternative option involves the combination of EVAR and CABG when anatomically appropriate, combined or staged.…”
