Successful emergency endovascular treatment of juxtarenal and infrarental mycotic aortic aneurysms in patients with small diameter aortae using Cook® Zenith ESLE Stentgrafts
Journal Title: World Journal of Emergency Medicine - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Endovascular repair of mycotic aneurysm is an alternative to open repair if the patho-anatomy is suitable. The aortic size above and below the mycotic aneurysm may be small. METHODS: A retrospective review was made of prospectively collected departmental computerised database. RESULTS: Three oriental patients with juxta- and infra-renal mycotic aortic aneurysms with a small aortic diameter of 17 mm to 18 mm underwent successful emergency endovascular treatment using Cook® Zenith ESLE stentgrafts. These are ancillary devices aimed at iliac extensions usually. CONCLUSION: This is to our knowledge the first case series of Cook® Zenith ESLE iliac component endografts for the treatment of aortic mycotic aneurysms with small aortae, and short- and mid-term results are encouraging.
