LUSTA Large Channel Endoscopy in the Treatment of Severe Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Complicated with Aneurysm of Ascendingaorta: A Case Report

Abstract

Aneurysm of ascendingaorta is a clinical disease with low incidence but high risk, which can lead to death in severe cases. Patients are often accompanied by hypertension and systemic atherosclerosis, and 20% of the patients have a family history [1]. For patients with large tumor diameter, rapid tumor growth or related clinical symptoms, clinical treatment should be done as early as possible. Lumbar spinal canal stenosis (lumbar spinal stenosis, LSS) is common in elderly patients. For LSS patients with aneurysm of ascendingaorta, surgical indications should be strictly controlled during surgical treatment to avoid adverse accidents. When choosing surgical procedures, less operational trauma and shorter operation time should be take into consideration to reduce the rate of complication. Lumbar large channel endoscopic system (SPINENDOS LUSTA system, LUSTA) is a modified large channel spinal endoscopic system, which has the advantages of less trauma, high decompression efficiency and short operation time. A case of lumbar spinal stenosis complicated with aneurysm of ascendingaorta treated with LUSTA system is reported.
