炎症性腹部大動脈瘤.Inflammatory AAA








腹部大動脈瘤があるが,単純CTの図3と図4で白矢印は内膜の石灰化を示し,その腹壁側は中膜と外膜の肥厚(▲)を呈している.造影CTでも同所見を認め(↑),後壁側には肥厚がない,微熱がある,CRPが3.0mg/dlであることから炎症性腹部大動脈瘤の可能性が高い.Du:十二指腸.手術で,特に最も肥厚した部分で光沢のある白色調を呈し,左側で腸管との強い癒着を認めた.人工血管置換術を行った.瘤壁の病理検査で炎症性腹部大動脈瘤と診断された.








参考症例(Plain CT,炎症性腹部大動脈瘤):50歳男性.10日前からの次第に増強する左上腹部痛,左側腹痛と微熱のため来院した.体温:37.2℃,腹部はsoft and flatで圧痛などを認めない.CRP:7.7mg/dl.
図6で腹部大動脈は最大径5cmあり,動脈瘤である.図5で1は動脈瘤内腔で,2は壁在血腫で,3は肥厚した中膜と外膜である.その肥厚した中外膜は図5で前壁と左側で厚く,後壁の肥厚は軽度で,図6と図7ではIVCを巻き込んで典型的な“mantle sign”(下記解説)を示し,炎症性腹部大動脈瘤である.手術で,拡張した腹部大動脈瘤は赤白色を呈し光沢があり,外膜は肥厚し周囲に炎症性所見と線維化,強度の癒着を認めた.大動脈瘤壁を可能な限り切除しYグラフト置換術を行った.

  Abstract:症例1:69歳男.腹痛と背部痛を主訴に入院,腹部CTにてmantle signを伴う80mmの腹部動脈瘤を認め手術適応となる.症例2:73歳男.近医で超音波検査結果,大動脈瘤を指摘され,紹介入院した.CRPは7mg/dlと上昇,腹部MRIやCTで腹部動脈は60mmで手術適応となる.症例3:68歳男.腹部超音波検査で腹部大動脈瘤を診断され,紹介入院,入院時腹部CTで腎動脈以下にmantle signを伴う80mmの腹部大動脈瘤を認め手術適応とした.3症例とも周囲臓器との癒着は高度であったが,慎重な手術操作により良好な結果を得た.動脈瘤中枢側の剥離はもとより,末梢側の剥離も最小限にすることが合併症を少なくすると考えた.

Long-term outcome after inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: case-matched study.
Bonati L, Rubini P, Japichino GG, Parolari A, Contini S, Zinicola R, Fusari M, Biglioli P.

The purpose of this study was to compare early and late outcomes after inflammatory and noninflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair with emphasis on graft-related complications. Of 625 consecutive patients submitted to AAA repair, 18 were classified as having inflammatory AAAs (group 1). The results of this group were compared with those of 54 patients (group 2) retrospectively drawn from patients who underwent aortic replacement for noninflammatory AAAs. A computer-assisted matching system was used to match patients according to date of birth, gender, and surgical priority. All patients of both groups were followed by periodic clinical and instrumental examinations. Patients in group 1 complained more frequently of aneurysm-related symptoms (72% vs. 20%; p = 0.0001), and their erythrocyte sedimentation rate was elevated more often (78% vs. 19%; p

Inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms. A retrospective study of 110 cases.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to review our experience with the surgical treatment of 110 patients with an inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm (IAAA). Furthermore, we focus especially on 37 ureteral obstructions. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between 1978 and 1996 we treated 110 patients for an IAAA. It concerned 101 men and nine women with mean age of 66.8 years. Emergency surgery was performed in 32 patients (13 ruptures) and elective surgery in 78 patients (only 23 asymptomatic). The IAAA diagnosis was made by CT scan preoperatively in 40% of the patients. Compression of 37 ureters in 23 patients (14 bilateral, 9 unilateral) was noticed and ureteral stenting was performed preoperatively in nine patients (12 ureters). The surgical approach was median laparotomy (88 patients) or retroperitoneal approach (21 patients). One patient was treated with an endovascular Min-Tec Stentor aortic graft by femoral approach. Suprarenal clamping was necessary in 44 patients. Ureterolysis of 23 ureters was performed. Three peroperative iatrogenic lesions were successfully treated intraoperatively. RESULTS: Fatal complications occurred in nine patients (8%), five patients after urgent surgery and four patients after elective surgery, all of them related to technical problems. Non fatal complications occurred in 22 patients, renal insufficiency was most important in ten patients (two permanent dialysis). The mean follow-up was 4.5 years (range, 0.5 to 15 years). Late survival was 68% at 5 years and 42% after 10 years. Seven patients presented late graft related complications, one fatal. In 14 surviving patients with 21 ureterolysed ureters, one needed a nefrectomy and one a bilateral Boari-plasty. In eight surviving patients with 11 stented ureters, one patient needed a small bowel interposition for ureteral stricture. After CT evaluation, all ureteral stents were removed 3 to 6 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Surgery for IAAA is quite complex. Mortality and morbidity are often associated with emergency or combined vascular and non vascular procedures. 2. When carefull operative repair is performed with minimal dissection of structures from the aneurysmal wall, excellent results can be expected. 3. Ureteral compression should be treated by ureteral stenting, preoperatively, to facilitate ureterolysis or even to avoid it. Regular follow-up CT control is recommended.PMID: 9457319

上記3文献のまとめ:炎症性腹部大動脈瘤は,大動脈瘤周囲線維化,近隣臓器との癒着,大動脈前壁側壁の著しい線維化肥厚およびリンパ球を主体とした慢性炎症細胞浸潤によって特徴づけられる.発生機序は不明.病理所見としては中膜は菲薄化し外膜は著明な線維性肥厚(CTではmantle signと呼ばれる)を示す.発生頻度は大動脈瘤全体の2.5〜10%に見られ必ずしもまれな疾患ではない.60歳以上に好発し,男女比は9:1と圧倒的に男性に多い.大動脈瘤周囲の線維化巣が尿管を巻き込むことにより,23%に水腎症が生じる.術中所見は,動脈瘤壁は光沢のある白色を示し,周囲臓器との癒着が見られる.造影CTで瘤壁のマントル状の肥厚,周囲臓器との癒着を認め,壁肥厚は特に前壁と側壁に強い.CRP高値と血沈の亢進を認める場合が多い.治療は瘤切除と人工血管置換術が基本である.
