Symptomatic sac enlargement and rupture due to seroma after open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with polytetrafluoroethylene graft: Implications for endovascular repair and endotension.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:We report 5 patients in whom a symptomatic perigraft seroma developed within the aortic sac, without vascular endoleak, after open repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft. We also discuss possible relationships of this phenomenon to endovascular repair of AAAs. PATIENTS AND METHODS:Over 18 years, 1156 patients underwent repair of an AAA by one of the authors (B.M.B.). Of these, 1084 underwent open repair, 256 with PTFE grafts. Five patients in the PTFE group (2.3%) returned at a mean of 4.5 years with acute abdominal or back pain and enlargement of the aortic sac. Mean diameter of the aneurysms was 5.9 cm preoperatively and 8.1 cm at readmission. There was no evidence of vascular endoleak on computed tomography scans, but 1 patient had a retroperitoneal hematoma. RESULTS:Laparotomy in 4 patients disclosed a seroma containing firm rubbery gelatinous material under tension, histologically identified as amorphous eosinophilic material containing thrombus and degenerate blood cells in all cases. Rupture of the sac was confirmed in the patient with a retroperitoneal hematoma. The sac contents were evacuated and the integrity of the underlying grafts and anastomoses was confirmed before sac reduction, with imbricating sutures, and closure was performed. One patient died at 8 months of an unrelated cause; the other 3 patients remain well at mean follow-up of 12 months. The fifth patient received conservative treatment and remains asymptomatic 3 years after acute presentation. CONCLUSIONS:These findings of sac enlargement without vascular endoleak after open AAA repair are reminiscent of sac enlargement in the absence of endoleak after endovascular AAA repair. This has been referred to as endotension. The comparatively benign outcome in 5 patients with symptomatic sac enlargement, including 2 patients with rupture, after open AAA repair provides data to support a circumspect approach to endotension, especially in patients with asymptomatic disease, which has been reported as occurring in almost half of patients who received a PTFE Excluder endograft.
