Endovascular occlusion of segmental arteries feeding the anterior spinal artery to stage endovascular thoracoabdominal aortic repair.
JTCVS Open 18, 1-8 (2024)
Objective: Minimally invasive segmental artery coil embolization was introduced to prevent spinal cord ischemia after endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. There is no consensus on whether the endovascular occlusion of segmental arteries feeding directly the anterior radiculomedullary artery and anterior spinal artery can be safely performed without causing spinal cord ischemia. Our aim was to investigate the feasibility and clinical impact of endovascular occlusion of segmental arteries supplying the anterior spinal artery during minimally invasive segmental artery coil embolization in patients with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. Methods: Between January 2018 and July 2020, 54 patients (36 male; mean age, 71.1 ± 9.3 years) underwent direct embolization of segmental arteries feeding the anterior radiculomedullary artery before endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. End points included technical success of minimally invasive segmental artery coil embolization of segmental arteries, anterior radiculomedullary artery, neurological complications, and in-hospital mortality after minimally invasive segmental artery coil embolization and endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. Results: The thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm classification was type I (n = 8), type II (n = 24), type III (n = 11), and type IV (n = 11). During minimally invasive segmental artery coil embolization, 388 segmental arteries were occluded, each patient having 7.2 ± 3.1 coiled segmental arteries occluding 64.5% (25-100%) of open segmental arteries within the treated aortic segment. Altogether, 66 anterior radiculomedullary arteries were seen originating between Th8 and L3 levels from 85 (21.9%) segmental arteries. In 10 patients (18.5%), 2 large anterior radiculomedullary arteries were identified, and 1 patient (1.9%) showed 3 anterior radiculomedullary arteries on the spinal arteriography. No spinal cord ischemia or procedure-related complications occurred after minimally invasive segmental artery coil embolization. After 47.9 ± 39.4 days, all patients received endovascular repair of their thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. There was no in-hospital mortality. One male patient developed incomplete temporary spinal cord ischemia after endovascular repair. Conclusions: Minimally invasive segmental artery coil embolization of segmental arteries feeding the anterior spinal artery in patients with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms to prevent spinal cord ischemia after endovascular repair is feasible and clinically safe.
