Das moderne befund- und patientenadaptierte Management von peripheren Pseudoaneurysmen nach arteriellem Zugang

Zusammenfassung

Pseudoaneurysmen (PSA) zählen zusammen mit den Hämatomen zu den häufigsten Komplikationen nach kathetergestützten Eingriffen.

Ziel und Methode Die narrative kompakte Kurzübersicht umreißt sowohl die Entstehung und Charakteristika von Pseudoaneurysmen sowie die Optionen der Diagnostik und Therapie als auch deren mögliche Komplikationen.

Ergebnisse Ätiopathogenese: Durch den nicht verschlossenen Stichkanal der Punktion kommt es zum kontinuierlichen Blutausstrom aus dem Gefäß, der im umliegenden Gewebe eine Pseudoaneurysmahöhle formt. Diese wird nicht wie beim wahren Aneurysma durch eine Gefäßwand begrenzt, sondern nur durch die umliegenden Gewebestrukturen eingedämmt. Dies ist aber meist nicht suffizient und es kommt zu einer raschen Ausbreitung und diffusen Einblutungen. Dadurch können umliegende Strukturen wie Nerven und Venen durch das expandierende Pseudoaneurysma komprimiert werden, woraus sich irreversible Schäden entwickeln können. Diagnostik: Die Duplexsonografie steht dominierend absolut im Vordergrund. Die CT-A, MR-A und DSA bleiben speziellen Fragestellungen oder klinischen Fallkonstellationen (z. B. Begleiterkrankungen etc.) vorbehalten – eine DSA ist stets mit Interventionsbereitschaft zu verbinden. Therapie: Mit der manuellen Kompression und der darauffolgenden Anlage eines Druckverbandes, einer ultraschallgestützten Kompression, der Thrombininjektion und der operativen Sanierung stehen mehrere Verfahren zur Auswahl. Die ultraschallgestützte Kompression sollte dabei immer sofort eingesetzt werden, da sie höchst effizient und ubiquitär verfügbar ist. Additiv zur Kompression kann die Thrombininjektion bei PSA ohne Nerven-/Gewebeirritation mit eingesetzt werden und bietet noch bessere Verschlussraten, ist jedoch anspruchsvoller in der Anwendung. Die operative Ausschaltung ist die effektivste Methode, bietet aber neben dem größten Aufwand die meisten Begleitkomplikationen wie Wundheilungsstörung bei mazeriertem Gewebe und den längsten Krankenhausaufenthalt. Alternative Verfahren zu den genannten haben sich bisher nicht durchsetzen können.

Schlussfolgerung Das diagnostische und therapeutische Management von Pseudoaneurysmen stellt eine Herausforderung im interdisziplinären befund- und patientenadaptierten Vorgehen dar, das den erfahren Gefäßmediziner erfordert.

Abstract

Aside from haematomas, pseudoaneurysms (PSA) are considered the most frequent complications after catheter-guided interventions.

Aim and Method Narrative compact short overview to describe aetiopathogenesis and characteristics of pseudoaneurysms and the options for diagnostic measures, therapy and its complications.

Results Aetiopathogenesis: via the closed access site, the puncture channel, there is continuous bleeding out of the vessel which forms a pseudoaneurysm-associated cavity within the perivascular tissue. This is not surrounded by a regular vascular wall as in true aneurysms but is only formed by the surrounding tissue structures. However, this border is not sufficient and the pseudoaneurysm may extend, with diffuse bleeding episodes into the tissue. Thus, surrounding structures such as nerves and veins can be compressed by the expanding pseudoaneurysm, which can lead to irreversible damage. Diagnostic measures: duplex ultra-sonography absolutely predominant. CT-A, MR-A and DSA for specific problems and clinical case characteristics (e.g., accompanying diseases etc.) – DSA is to be linked with the option of image-guided intervention during the same session. Therapy: by manual compression and subsequent dressing with compression, ultrasound-guided compression, thrombin injection and surgical intervention, there are several therapeutic measures for appropriate selection according to the specific need. Ultrasound-guided compression should be immediately used since it is highly efficient and widely available. In addition to compression, thrombin can be injected into the pseudoaneurysm-preserving nerval structures and tissue from alterations. This provides much better occlusion rates but is more demanding. Surgical intervention is the most efficient approach to occlude a pseudoaneurysm but is demanding and can be associated with complications such as disturbances of wound healing in altered tissue and the longest hospital stay. Alternative approaches have not been established yet.

Conclusion The diagnostic and therapeutic management of pseudoaneurysms for different findings and patients can be considered a great challenge, and requires an experienced angiologist or vascular surgeon.
