Summary

Vascular reconstructive surgery can lead to rare, successive complications like aneurysms, fistulas, and limb ischemia. These serious issues require timely surgical intervention and highlight the importance of long-term patient monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Surgical Complications
  • Patient Outcomes

Background:

  • Vascular reconstructive operations, including endarterectomy and bypass grafting, are crucial for treating arterial diseases.
  • Post-operative complications can significantly impact patient morbidity and mortality.
  • Understanding the spectrum and timing of rare, successive complications is vital for surgical management.

Observation:

  • Case 1: A 38-year-old man experienced sequential iliac artery aneurysm with uretero-aneurysmal fistula, entero-prosthetic fistula, and left iliac artery occlusion over 12 years post-aortic bifurcation endarterectomy.
  • Case 2: A 25-year-old man developed graft infection, urethro-prosthetic fistula, and femoral artery occlusion after traumatic iliac artery aneurysm repair.
  • Case 3: A 53-year-old man suffered sigmoid colon gangrene, venous thrombosis, and buttock necrosis following aorto-bilateral femoral bypass, ultimately leading to septicemia and death.

Findings:

  • Rare, successive complications can manifest years after initial vascular reconstruction.
  • Complications include aneurysmal formation, various fistulas (uretero-prosthetic, entero-prosthetic), arterial occlusion, graft infection, and tissue necrosis.
  • Outcomes varied, with successful surgical correction in two cases, but fatal septicemia in the third due to extensive necrosis.

Implications:

  • Highlights the potential for diverse and delayed complications following vascular reconstructive surgery.
  • Emphasizes the need for vigilant, long-term surveillance of patients undergoing these procedures.
  • Informs surgical decision-making and management strategies for complex post-operative scenarios.
