Successful Treatment of Aortic Rupture with Endovascular Stent Grafting in a Patient with Mantle Cell Lymphoma

چکیده
PURPOSE To present a case of spontaneous aortic rupture in the course of mantle cell lymphoma and successful management with endovascular repair. CASE REPORT A 69-year-old woman presented with a cervical mass. The patient was found to have stage IIIA and Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (MIPI) 4. She was placed in an intermediate-risk group. The patient received an initial cycle of systemic chemotherapy consisting of rituximab, anthracycline, vincristine and methyl prednisolone. During follow-up, she developed abdominal aortic rupture secondary to intramural hematoma which was successfully managed with endovascular exclusion. CONCLUSION Hemodynamic changes can be seen during the course of lymphoma subsequent to systemic chemotherapy. These changes might be related to the spontaneous rupture of the main vessels. Endovascular repair may be a more appropriate treatment option than open surgery, especially in a patient with multiple comorbidities.

Treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms constitutes high mortality and morbidity rates despite improvements in surgery, anesthesia, and technology. Endovascular stent grafting may be an alternative therapy with lower risks when compared with conventional techniques. However, sometimes the branches of the aortic arch may require transport to the proximal segments prior to successful thoracic aort...
متن کاملEndovascular Treatment for Traumatic Aortic Rupture
Traumatic aortic rupture is at the present time considered a life-threatening condition that requires emergent surgical intervention. Conventional surgical repair carries a certain risk of mortality and morbidity. Since the introduction of aortic stent-graft, endovascular repair has gradually become a new alternative surgical approach for treating traumatic aortic rupture. We hereby present the...

Endovascular stent grafting is applied for the treatment of different aortic pathologies in the current medical era. It may be lifesaving in patients with comorbidities and virtually inoperable when adopting conventional techniques. This manuscript reports on a 40-year-old patient, who was previously treated for a mycotic saccular aneurysm at the aortic arch and who presented with a descending ...

BACKGROUND Stent grafting is emerging as a new treatment for several pathological conditions involving the thoracic aorta. We studied the feasibility and safety of this technique for delayed treatment of ruptures of the aortic isthmus. METHODS AND RESULTS Nine patients (14 to 76 years old; mean, 37 years; male/female ratio, 8/1) underwent stent grafting of the aortic isthmus in subacute (n=5)...

We report a surgical case of infected thoracic aortic aneurysm. Before arrival of the cryopreserved aortic allograft, the patient had hemoptysis resulting from aneurysm rupture. Therefore endovascular stent grafting was urgently performed three days prior to in situ allograft implantation. Palliative stent grafting prevented circulatory collapse and stabilized the patient until successful allog...
