The aim of the study. The authors introduce single-center results of surgical treatment of 84 aneurysms in 79 patients. Anastomotic aneurysms belong to group of pseudoaneurysms which appear in places after vascular anastomosis.The most common location of this kind of pseudoaneurysm is the groin (85%). The next most common location is the proximal anastomotic place with the aorta or iliac common artery (12%), which constitutes from 1 to 5% of all vascular abnormalities. Usually, these need to be surgically treated.Material and methods. The authors present surgical treatment results of 79 patients with 84 pseudoaneurysms: 10 women (12.7%) and 69 men (87.3%) ranging in age from 44 to 81 years old, with an average age of 64.7 years old.The frequency of this pathology in all patients with vascular diseases treated in our Department was 1.6% and 7.7% in patients after surgical anastomosis in the groin. Eleven patients (13.9%) with aneurysm rupture and four (5.1%) with thrombosis and acute ischemia of the lower limb needed an emergency operation. The remaining 64 patients (81%) were operated on according to the plan.The most common operations were: vascular by - pass, secondary suture of anastomosis, and covering the lost part of the anastomosis with a patch. This treatment was used in 66 cases (84.5%), and 18 patients (22.8%) needed early secondary operation. 18 patients (22.8%) had a vascular prosthesis infection.Results. A good treatment result of anastomotic aneurysms was observed in 64 patients (81%).In 10 cases (12.7%), amputation was needed due to lack of blood recirculation in the limbs.Five patients died because of MODS due to vascular prosthesis infection.Conclusions. 1. The most important complication resulting in surgical treatment failure is vascular prosthesis infection and the progress of peripheral arteriosclerosis. 2. Distant vascular anastomosis dehiscence may show that the anastomosis was done using too much tension or that there were dakron physicochemical changes due to the aging process.

Anastomotic aneurysms occurs at various levels of arterial system. Determining their location and incidence rate required investigation of large patient clinical material. Material and methods. In the years 1989-2010 in local centre 230 anastomotic aneurysms were operated in 180 patients. Results. For 187 (81.3%) patients anastomotic aneurysms were localised in the groin, while for remaining 43 (18.7%) they occurred in other localisations. In aortic arch branch they occurred four times (1.7), in descending aorta - three times (1.3%), in abdominal aorta - 14 (6.1%) and in iliac arteries - 6 (2.6%). While for anastomosis with popliteal artery they were diagnosed in 16 (7%) patients. Own clinical material was compared with literature data. Conclusions. Anastomotic aneurysms in over 80% of cases occur in the groin, remaining percentage corresponds to other localisations.

Background: With estimated prevalence of 1% of the general population, visceral artery aneurysms are not a frequent pathology, however, their rupture is a life-threatening occurrence with mortality rate ranging from 10% to 25%, up to 75% in case of pregnant women. Therefore, the identification and treatment of visceral artery aneurysms is of great importance in the prevention of early rupture. Purpose: To assess the effectiveness and safety of treatment of visceral artery aneurysms with various endovascular methods focusing on technical aspects, complications and long-term clinical outcome. Materials and Methods: 60 patients with visceral artery aneurysms were treated percutaneously. Various techniques were used: coiling (23), covered stents (15), thrombin (7), and other mixed techniques. Aneurysm characteristics, size and localization, procedural data, peri-procedural complications, technical success, 90- and 180-day clinical success and follow-up period (aneurysm exclusion, patency of the artery and complications) were prospectively analyzed. Results: The procedure was performed in 57 of 60 patients. In 56 of 57 patients aneurysms ware effectively excluded. The success rate was 93.3% (56 of 60 enrolled patients). Technical success after the intervention was 82.4%, after second 98.2%. Embolization with covered stents was characterized by the highest efficiency. Serious complications occurred in 1.8% of cases. Conclusions: The minimally invasive endovascular treatment of visceral artery aneurysms is characterized by high efficacy and safety. Good treatment results depend on proper assessment of the aneurysm’s morphology as well as on selection of the appropriate vascular approach and endovascular technique.
