Comprehensive management of challenging recurrent aortoiliac and lower extremity occlusive disease with simultaneous modified-covered endovascular reconstruction of the aortic bifurcation, inferior mesenteric artery snorkel, and lower extremity bypass.
Vascular 2024 April 11
OBJECTIVES: Despite recent advancements in endovascular technology and proven durability of open surgeries, managing extensive aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) with concurrent severe lower extremity (LE) arterial occlusion remains a formidable challenge. This paper introduces a comprehensive approach to addressing recurrent AIOD and LE occlusive diseases by employing modified-CERAB, inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) snorkel, and LE bypass in a challenging case.
METHODS: A 56-year-old male patient presented with subacute bilateral lower extremity rest pain with dry gangrene in the left great toe and a complex medical history. His history included a hostile abdomen stemming from past ischemic bowel episodes and multiple bowel resections through laparotomies. Furthermore, the patient had a persistent left ventricular thrombus (LVT), stage-2 chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes, and was currently experiencing bilateral LE rest pain and dry gangrene in the left great toe, accompanied by severe dermatitis in both LEs.
RESULTS: He successfully underwent modified-CERAB with a concurrent snorkel technique for IMA preservation, along with an LE bypass to resolve bilateral LE critical ischemia.
CONCLUSION: This comprehensive management approach, combining simultaneous modified-CERAB, IMA snorkel, and LE bypass, provides an effective alternative for addressing complex AIOD and LE occlusive disease patients with hostile abdomen.
