Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund: Bei der Implantation von Endoprothesen zur Behandlung infrarenaler und thorakaler
Aortenaneurysmen ist eine Arteriotomie üblich. Um die Invasivität der Behandlung weiter
zu reduzieren, haben wir untersucht, ob stattdessen die Femoralarterien ohne vorherige
Freilegung punktiert und die Punktionsstellen nach dem Eingriff mit dem Perclose-System
verschlossen werden können.
Patienten und Methodik: Das Perclose-System ist ein perkutanes Naht-System zur Erzielung der Hämostase nach
arteriellen Punktionen. Es besteht aus 4 Nadeln und 2 Fäden. Vor Einführung der Prothese
(Durchmesser 12 - 27 F = 4 - 9 mm) wurde eine perkutane Naht gelegt, mit der postinterventionell
die Punktionsstelle verschlossen wurde. Insgesamt wurden 104 Femoralarterien bei 60
Patienten (weiblich: 7, mittleres Alter: 69 ± 12 Jahre) auf diese Weise versorgt.
Der mittlere Femoralarteriendurchmesser betrug 10 ± 2 mm.
Ergebnisse: Die perkutane Implantation der Prothese konnte bei 58 von 60 Patienten erfolgreich
durchgeführt werden. In zwei Fällen war das Einführen des Grafts wegen kalzifizierter
Beckenarterien nicht möglich. Das Perclose-System konnte in 97 Fällen erfolgreich
eingesetzt werden. In 2 Fällen kam es zu behandlungsbedürftigen lokalen Komplikationen
(1 × Nachblutung, 1 × Aneurysma spurium). Eine zusätzliche manuelle Kompression war
bei sieben Femoralarterien notwendig, eine chirurgische Versorgung der Punktionsstelle
in keinem Fall. Der postinterventionelle mediane Klinikaufenthalt betrug 18 Stunden
(4,5 Stunden-32 Tage), nur 20 Patienten verblieben länger als 24 Stunden in der Klinik,
davon nur 2 wegen Komplikationen an der Punktionsstelle.
Folgerung: Die perkutane Gefäßnaht mit dem Perclose-System zur Erzielung der Hämostase nach
perkutaner Implantation von Aortenendoprothesen ist technisch möglich und effektiv
bei der Verwendung von großen Schleusen und Einführsystemen (bis 27 F = 9 mm). Durch
die geringe Invasivität der Methode können Aneurysmen endoprothetisch im Rahmen eines
sehr kurzen Klinikaufenthaltes oder sogar ambulant versorgt werden.
Summary
Background and objective: It is common clinical practice to perform an arteriotomy for the endovascular treatment
of infrarenal and thoracic aortic aneurysms. Instead we used the percutaneous endovascular
Perclose device to perform the aneurysm repair without arterial cut-down.
Patients and methods: The Perclose device contains four needles with two suture loops for closing the femoral
artery access site. The sutures were deployed after the arterial puncture, before
introduction of sheaths (diameter 12 - 27 F = 4 - 9 mm). After the procedure the sutures
were used to close the puncture site. We attempted to achieve hemostasis with the
Perclose system in 104 femoral arteries in 60 patients (7 females, mean age 69 ± 12
years). The mean vessel diameter was 10 ± 2 mm.
Results: The percutaneous graft implantation was successfully achieved in 58 of 60 patients.
The graft could not be forwarded into the aorta in two cases because of calcified
iliac arteries. The Perclose suture technique was succesfully used in 97 femoral arteries.
In one case a false aneurysm developed and in another case a secondary hemorrhage
occurred. Seven patients needed additional manual compression to achieve complete
hemostasis. A surgical repair was not necessary. The time to hospital discharge ranged
from 4.5 hours to 32 days (median: 18 hours). 20 patients stayed longer than 24 h
in the hospital, only 2 of them for reasons related to the puncture site.
Conclusion: Closing the access site with the Perclose system is technically feasible and effective,
even with large sheaths up to 27 F = 9 mm. This technique reduces the invasiveness
of the endovascular repair of aortic aneurysms and decreases the length of hospital
stay, i. e. it allows treatment in outpatients.
