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.

Although an ascending aortic thrombus is a rare condition, it can cause serious complications of thromboembolism. Here we present a rare case of a patient who was hospitalized due to ileal arteries embolization caused by emboli from a giant thrombus in the ascending aorta. After 10 days anti-coagulation therapy, we performed a surgery to replace the ascending aorta containing the strip organized thrombus with a synthetic graft. During two years of postoperative follow-up, no recurrence of aortic thrombosis was found. Although the exact cause of this thrombus remains unclear, we believe that it is important to perform a surgery as soon as the presence of an ascending aortic thrombus is confirmed, which could help preventing the major recurrent embolic events.

AbstractCOVID-19 infection has been shown to increase risk for thromboembolism. With most studies reporting mainly venous thromboembolic events, there is a lack of literature regarding the incidence of arterial thromboses in patients with COVID-19 infection. We report a dramatic case of a 55-year-old male with confirmed COVID-19 infection who presented with acute left critical limb ischemia leading to amputation as a result of thromboembolism from a distal abdominal aortic thrombus. Our case report contributes to the limited body of literature on COVID-19-related arterial thromboembolism. The patient consented to publish this case.

AbstractWe report a rare case of CHD and abdominal aorta interruption. Renal hypertension was the first sign of the abdominal aortic malformation. The aetiology of abdominal aortic interruption remains unclear, it could be congenital or acquired.
