Behçet's disease patients with aneurysms face high risks. Arterial ligation, not reconstructive surgery, is recommended to prevent complications, alongside immunotherapy for relapse control.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Rheumatology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Behçet's disease is associated with a high incidence of arterial aneurysms.
  • Aneurysm formation in Behçet's disease leads to significant morbidity and mortality.
  • Reconstructive surgery for these aneurysms often results in poor outcomes, including graft occlusion and anastomotic aneurysms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of arterial ligation versus reconstructive surgery in patients with Behçet's disease and aneurysms.
  • To identify safer surgical strategies for managing arterial aneurysms in Behçet's disease.
  • To emphasize the role of adjuvant immunotherapy in preventing aneurysm recurrence.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 14 patients with Behçet's disease and 16 aneurysms.

  • Analysis of surgical interventions, including arterial ligation and reconstructive procedures.
  • Assessment of limb salvage rates and long-term complications.

    • Main Results:

    • Arterial ligation of major vessels (common iliac, superficial femoral, popliteal) was successfully performed without limb loss in this cohort.
    • Reconstructive surgery yielded discouraging results, with frequent anastomotic aneurysms and graft occlusions.
    • Adjuvant immunotherapy was crucial for managing disease relapses and preventing new aneurysm formation.

    Conclusions:

    • Arterial ligation is a viable and safer alternative to reconstructive surgery for managing arterial aneurysms in Behçet's disease.
    • Surgical management should prioritize ligation to avoid complications associated with reconstructive techniques.
    • Long-term control of Behçet's disease through immunotherapy is essential to prevent recurrent aneurysm formation.
