AAA
Abdominal Aorta
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
AAA: dilation of the abdominal artery

• Infrarenally
• Pararenally
• Suprarenally
Who is at risk?
• Male

• 65-85 years old

• People who have ever smoked

• Familial history of heart disease


RISK FACTORS….
Smoking
Diabetes
Hypercholesterolemia
Atherosclerosis
Genetics
Complications
Symptoms

Asymptomatic until….
Diagnosis
• CT scan
• X-ray
• Ultrasound

Diameter
Diagnosis
The prevalence of aneurysms detected through screening
among VA patients age 50-79 is as follows:

AAA Size (cm) Prevalence

3.0-3.9 2.9%

4.0-5.4 1.0%

≥5.5 0.3%

Introduction Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair in
Patient with a Renal Allograft: A Case Report

• 40 year old male with a right renal


transplant
• Maintained under immunosuppressant's
after surgery
• AAA was discovered upon routine check-up
of the transplant
Diagnosis

Abdominal ultrasound

Serum creatinine

Computed tomography (angiography)


CT Angiographic images
Considerations

• Long-term renal allograft: 18 years 2⁰


systemic atherosclerosis and other occlusive
cardiovascular disease

• 6.4 cm in diameter, infrarenal AAA

• Reported that AAA in renal transplant


patients have aggressive history of high
expansion and rupture rate
Surgical complications

• Ischemic damage due to aortic cross-clamping


during aortic reconstruction
• Clamping: hypertension, myocardial infarction
• Clamp release: hypotension, shock, metabolic
acidosis, myocardial depression
• Renal allograft failure
Surgery
1. Maintain perfusion to the right kidney by
creating a temporary shunt in the right
common femoral artery to the perirenal aorta

2. Cross-clamp abdominal aorta infrarenally


Temporary Aortofemoral Shunt
CT of post- operative aorta with renal
allograft
Conclusion
• AAA was discovered in patient with an 18-year old
renal allograft
• The condition of the AAA was dangerous
• Due to the allograft, and the nature of the
procedure, ischemia to the transplant was feared
• Novel technique was performed using a shunt
from the femoral artery to the aorta to maintain
healthy blood supply to the transplanted kidney
