Summary

Chylous complications after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair are rare but serious. Treatment involves shunts or dietary changes, with direct ligation reserved for refractory cases.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair can lead to rare chylous complications.
  • These complications involve leakage of lymphatic fluid.

Observation:

  • Two patients experienced chylous complications post-AAA repair.
  • One presented with chylous ascites, the other with a lymph cyst.

Findings:

  • Chylous ascites was managed with a peritoneo-caval shunt.
  • The lymph cyst resolved spontaneously after puncture.
  • Recommended initial management for poor-risk patients includes paracentesis, parenteral nutrition, and dietary modifications.

Implications:

  • Early recognition and tailored management are crucial for chylous complications post-AAA repair.

  • Peritoneo-venous shunting is an effective intermediate step before considering direct surgical ligation.
  • This highlights the importance of conservative and stepwise interventions for lymphatic leaks.
