Inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms present with a dense sheath and fibrosis. Surgical intervention offers good outcomes for most patients, though complications can occur.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Research
  • Inflammatory Conditions

Background:

  • Approximately 10% of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) exhibit significant inflammation, characterized by a dense fibrotic sheath.
  • The exact etiology of this inflammatory AAA subtype remains unknown.
  • Characteristic imaging findings exist on ultrasound and CT, but diagnosis is often incidental during laparotomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical presentation and surgical management of inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms.
  • To report outcomes of surgical treatment in a series of patients with this condition.
  • To highlight potential complications and alternative management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 8 patients surgically treated for inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms over a 3-year period.

  • Surgical approach focused on minimizing peri-aortic dissection.
  • Consideration of ureterolysis for hydronephrosis secondary to ureteric involvement.

    • Main Results:

    • Six out of eight patients experienced good surgical outcomes.
    • One patient required a postoperative amputation.
    • One late postoperative death was recorded.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical treatment is the primary modality for inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms.
    • Careful surgical technique is crucial to minimize complications.
    • Steroid therapy and ureterolysis may be considered in specific clinical scenarios.
