“…This association is likely due to the overlap in risk factors and similar biochemical factors known to be involved in the pathogenesis of these processes. 2,3 Historically, FAA management was adapted based on guidelines from popliteal aneurysm repair and operative intervention was recommended in all symptomatic aneurysms as well as those larger than 2.5 cm or aneurysms that are rapidly expanding. A recent study suggested this threshold be raised to 3.5 cm after highlighting the lack of information regarding the natural course of FAAs and suggesting that smaller aneurysms may be more benign than previously thought.…”

“…Classically, they are found in older males and presentations vary from asymptomatic incidental findings to symptomatic presentations including pain, a pulsatile mass, chronic thrombosis, claudication, acute thrombosis with limb threatening ischemia, or rupture. [1][2][3] Treatment has historically involved open surgical repair of all symptomatic FAA's as well as those above 2.5 cm. 4 Frequently, FAA's are associated with synchronous or metachronous aneurysms in other parts of the body, most commonly involving aortoiliac, popliteal, and contralateral femoral segments.…”

Simultaneous hybrid repair of symptomatic femoral, iliac, and abdominal aortic aneurysms

Background Focal peripheral arterial aneurysms, though rare, have a relatively high association with coexisting synchronous or metachronous aneurysms. While most are asymptomatic at presentation, there is concern for aneurysm thrombosis, embolization, or rupture, which can lead to acute limb ischemia or even limb loss. These complications require early intervention with either open or endovascular surgery, oftentimes staged due to complexity. Method We describe a case of a 65-year-old male presenting with a symptomatic common femoral artery aneurysm with a simultaneous infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm, requiring a hybrid endovascular and open approach for operative repair due to the size and characteristics of his aneurysms. Discussion As the consensus for the management of synchronous/metachronous aneurysms is to stage the procedures, it is important to report scenarios where a single hybrid operation was technically feasible and resulted in good patient outcomes. Conclusion This report supports the role of utilizing multiple hybrid operative techniques to best repair the respective aneurysm in a single operation, with favorable patient outcomes.

“…The prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has increased in Latin America and in high-income Asia-Pacific countries since 2000. [1,2] In the United States, ruptured AAA is the 13 th leading cause of death and is estimated to cause ~15,000 deaths per year. [3] Aneurysms can be classified into primary and secondary aneurysms based on treatment approach.…”

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a degenerative disease characterized by destruction and progressive expansion of the abdominal aortic wall. An AAA is typically defined as an enlargement of the abdominal aorta with diameter ≥3 cm or ≥50% greater than the suprarenal diameter. The pathological changes associated with AAA include inflammatory cell infiltration, extracellular matrix (ECM) destruction and remodeling, and vascular smooth muscle cell loss. The matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family of proteins plays an important role in initiation and progression of AAA. Since understanding the regulation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in AAA is essential for treatment of AAA, this review summarized the regulatory mechanisms of MMPs to provide a reference for exploring novel therapeutic approaches.
