Synchronous Gastrointestinal Tumor and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm or Dissection Treated with Endovascular Aneurysm Repair Followed by Tumor Resection

الملخص EN

Objective.

To evaluate the strategy in the management of patients with synchronous gastrointestinal tumor and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) or abdominal aortic dissection (AAD) undergoing endovascular repair followed by tumor resection.

Materials and Methods.

Five patients with synchronous gastrointestinal tumor and AAA or AAD were treated by endovascular repair followed by tumor resection.

Clinical data were retrospectively analyzed with respect to the management strategy, safety, and outcome.

Results.

Endovascular repair was technically successful in all patients.

All the stents were well positioned and well patent, and the AAA (n=3) or AAD (n=2) were correctly excluded without endoleaks.

After endovascular repair, all patients underwent resection of gastrointestinal tumor.

No late mortality or major complications related to the two procedures were observed in the subsequent follow-up.

Conclusion.

Our results demonstrate that EVAR could significantly shorten the delay between AAA and gastrointestinal procedure with an excellent postoperative outcome.

If the anatomical criteria are satisfied, EVAR followed by tumor resection might be an effective treatment for concomitant AAA and gastrointestinal tumor.
