Use of the Octopus Technique for Endovascular Treatment of Complex Aortic Lesions
Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology(2019)
摘要
PURPOSE:To evaluate feasibility and effectiveness using the octopus endograft technique to treat complex aortic aneurysms (CAAs).
MATERIALS AND METHODS:Endovascular repair of CAAs, including thoracoabdominal aneurysms (TAAAs) and dissections involving major side branches, was performed at a single center from June 2014 to June 2017. Patients included 9 men and 2 women (mean age, 60.5 y; range, 40-89 y) were included. The octopus technique was applied using standard aortic grafts with branch stent grafts to preserve the renovisceral arteries.
RESULTS:Aortic pathologies comprised 3 mycotic aneurysms, 2 chronic dissections with acute rupture, 1 progressively enlarging chronic type B dissection, 1 acutely ruptured TAAA, and 4 unruptured TAAAs. Mean procedural and fluoroscopic times were 562 min (range, 324-840 min) and 183 min (range, 73-338 min), respectively. Three patients died within 1 month. Mean duration of follow-up was 26.3 months (range, 8-42 months) for remaining patients. Technical success rate of target vessel stent placement was 89.7% (35/39). Major complication rate was 45.5% (5/11), including 3 deaths, 1 permanent paraplegia, and 1 temporary paraplegia that resolved in 2 months. All 3 mycotic aneurysms with mean duration of follow-up of 29 months (range, 8-42 months) were excluded successfully without endoleak.
CONCLUSIONS:The octopus technique is feasible for treatment of CAAs requiring urgent management or with difficult anatomy without the use of available custom-made or off-the-shelf branched devices. The procedure carries substantial morbidity and mortality and requires further investigation for its long-term durability.
