Local anesthesia is a safe and less invasive anesthetic management for the endovascular approach to elective aortic aneurysm. We have successfully extended the indication of local anesthesia to a high-risk patient with leaking aneurysm and stable hemodynamics. Patient and methods: A 86 year old patient with renal insufficiency due to longstanding hypertension, coronary artery and chronic obstructive lung disease was transferred to our hospital with a leaking abdominal aortic aneurysm. Stable hemodynamics allowed to perform a fast CT scan, that confirmed the feasibility of endovascular repair. A bifurcated endograft (24mm x 12mm x 153mm) was implanted under local anesthesia. Results: The procedure was completed within 85 minutes without problems. The complete sealing of the aneurysm was confirmed by CT scan on the third postoperative day. Twenty months later, the patient is doing well and radiological control confirmed complete exclusion of the aneurysm. Discussion: The endoluminal treatment is a minimally invasive technique. It's feasibility can be rapidly assessed by CT scan. The transfemoral implantation can be performed under local anesthesia provided that hemodynamics are stable. This anesthetic management seems to be particularly advantageous for leaking abdominal aortic aneurysm since it doesn't change the hemodynamic situation in contrast to general anesthesia. Hemodynamic instability, abdominal distension or tenderness may indicate intraperitoneal rupture and conversion to open graft repair should be performed without delay.

Objective To identify predictors of aortic aneurysm formation at or above an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Methods A total of 881 infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repairs were identified at a single institution from 2004 to 2008; 187 of the repairs were identified that had pre-operative and post-operative computed tomography imaging at least one year or greater to evaluate for aortic degeneration following repair. Aortic diameters at the celiac, superior mesenteric, and renal arteries were measured on all available computed tomographic scans. Aortic thrombus and calcification volumes in the visceral and infrarenal abdominal aortic segments were calculated. Multivariable modeling was used with log transformed variables to determine potential predictors of future aortic aneurysm development after infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Results Of the 187 patients in the cohort, 100 had an open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair while 87 were treated with endovascular repair. Proximal aortic aneurysms developed in 26% ( n = 49) of the cohort during an average of 72 ± 34.2 months of follow-up. After multivariable modeling, visceral segment aortic thrombus on pre-operative computed tomography imaging increased the risk of aortic aneurysm development above the infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair within both the open abdominal aortic aneurysm (hazard ratio 2.04, p = 0.033) and endovascular repair (hazard ratio 3.31, p = 0.004) cohorts. Endovascular repair was independently associated with a higher risk of future aortic aneurysm development after infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair when compared to open abdominal aortic aneurysm (hazard ratio 2.19, p = 0.025). Conclusions Visceral aortic thrombus present prior to abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and endovascular repair are both associated with an increased risk of future proximal aortic degeneration after infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. These factors may predict patients at higher risk of developing proximal aortic aneurysms that may require complex aortic repairs.
