The surgical treatment of arterial aneurysms in Behçet disease: A report of 16 patients

Abstract: Although aneurysmal disease is rare in Behçet disease, it can complicate the clinical picture and cause life-threatening complications. We believe that the establishment of remission before the surgical intervention decreases the incidence of postoperative complications. Because recurrence at the site of anastomosis is possible, prolonged monitoring is required.

“…Involvement of the aorta in BD is different from atherosclerotic aneurysmal disease, because in the latter there is accentuated destruction and weakening of the artery wall. 3,5 Options for surgical treatment include open surgery and endovascular techniques. The classical method for surgical treatment of aneurysms associated with BD is open surgery.…”

“…3 Postoperative follow-up of aneurysms in BD should be regular and should involve assessment of all arteries. 5,19 In conclusion, in Behçet's disease, vascular involvement increases morbidity and mortality and should always be considered and investigated in this patient population. Aortic aneurysms with erosion of lumbar vertebrae are rare, but should be considered in patients who have been diagnosed with BD and present with difficult-to-treat lumbar pain.…”
