“…Based on this possibility, active/planned chemotherapy is currently understood as a contraindication for MFM implantation. 39,40 Limitations Since this trial enrolled only nonsurgical candidates per protocol, direct comparison with an open surgical arm was not possible. The small number of patients constitutes the main limitation of the trial.…”

The incidence of pulmonary neoplasms discovered by serial computed tomography scanning after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair

Serial CT scans may reveal a high rate of pulmonary malignancies in a population with AAAs. Attention to the incidental finding of pulmonary nodules on CT scans and arrangement of appropriate follow-up by the vascular surgeon is important for patients undergoing surveillance after endovascular AAA repair. These results indicate that aggressive management of these lesions (early thoracic surgery consultation and biopsy) is appropriate in this high-risk population and may offer early diagnosis and improved long-term survival.

“…4 In contrast to cardiac and pulmonary disease, little data exist on the impact of concomitant malignancy on survival after aneurysm repair. 5 The reported incidence of cancer among aneurysm patients is, however, high and estimated between 4 and 13%. 6 Moreover, Valentine et al 6 showed a higher incidence of cancer among AAA patients when compared to an age matched population, indicative for a true association between aneurysm disease and malignancy.…”

Incidental finding of malignancy in patients preoperatively evaluated for aneurysm wall pathology using PET/CT

Preoperative positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) was performed in 26 consecutive patients considered fit for aneurysm repair. Besides information on aneurysm wall pathology, PET/CT identified 6 patients with concomitant malignancy. As a result of this coincidental finding, the operation was postponed in 2 patients and cancelled in 1. Although previous studies have shown that PET/CT might affect patient selection based on aneurysm wall inflammation, our preliminary results show a big impact on patient management as a result of the sensitivity of PET/CT for detecting malignancy. Future larger studies are warranted to investigate the effect and cost effectiveness of routine PET/CT in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients.
