Our experience of the pseudoaneurism and true aneurisms in periferic arteries

Year 2009, Volume: 31 Issue: 3, 265 - 271, 13.05.2009

Abstract

Aim. Peripheral arterial aneurysms are frequently encountered due to increased incidence of
arteriosclerosis and common use of invasive methods for the diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
The aim of this report is to evaluate preoperative features of peripheral arterial aneurisms operated
at our clinic and their surgical results retrospectively. Methods. 35 peripheral arterial aneurysm
cases diagnosed and operated at our clinic between the years of 1999-2008 and they were
retrospectively evaluated. Results. Acute and chronic ischemia of the extremities were determined
in 12 cases (34.3%). True aneurysms were seen in 12 (34.3%) cases (more than one aneurysm in
one case). Pseudo-aneurysms were seen in 23 (65.7%) cases. Frequent causes for true and pseudoaneurysms were arteriosclerosis and iatrogenic factors. Frequent localization of the 26 (74.2%)
aneurysms were the femoral and popliteal arteries. It was noted that, aneurysmectomy combined
with interposition of sapheneous vein or synthetic graft was the most commonly applied surgical
method in patients with true anevrisms. Conclusions. In one true anevrism (2.9%), amputation of
the lower extremity toes was required due to ischemia more than eight hours. It is suggested that
peripheral aneurysms (even asymptomatic cases) must be surgically treated since they may cause
serious complications.

Periferik arterlerin yalancı ve gerçek anevrizmalarındaki deneyimlerimiz

Year 2009, Volume: 31 Issue: 3, 265 - 271, 13.05.2009

Abstract

Amaç. Son yıllarda tanı ve tedavi amaçlı invaziv metotların yaygın kullanımı nedeniyle pseudo
anevrizma olguları artmıştır. Bu çalışmamızın amacı, kliniğimizde opere edilen periferik arter
gerçek ve pseudo anevrizma olgularının preoperatif özelliklerinin, cerrahi tedavi sonuçlarının
retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntem. Kliniğimizde 1999-2008 yılları arasında
periferik arter anevrizması saptanan 35 olgu retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular. Akut ve
kronik olmak üzere toplam 12 (%34,3) olguda ekstremite iskemisi mevcuttu. Gerçek anevrizma 12
(%34,3) (1 olguda birden fazla anevrizma), psödoanevrizma ise 23 (%65,7) olguda tespit edildi.
Etiyolojide gerçek anevrizmalarda en sık ateroskleroz, psödoanevrizmalarda ise iyatrojenik
nedenler saptandı. 26 (%74,2) olguda anevrizmanın en sık yerleştiği bölge femoral ve popliteal
arterler olup en sık uygulanan cerrahi yöntemin psödo anevrizmada primer tamir, gerçek
anevrizmada ise anevrizmektomi ile birlikte safen ven veya sentetik greft interpozisyonu idi.
Sonuçlar. Toplam 1 (%2,9) gerçek anevrizmada 8 saatlik bir iskemi nedeniyle alt ekstremite
parmaklarında ampütasyon gerekti. Elektif cerrahi onarımın, bu komplikasyonun tedavisini
kolaylaştırdığı görülmüştür. Komplikasyon gelişimi, yapılacak müdahalelerin başarı şansını
azaltacağı için asemptomatik bile olsa periferik anevrizmalar mutlaka cerrahi olarak tedavi
edilmelidir.
