The outcomes of open surgery for this rare disease are described in this paper.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>This retrospective study included all patients who underwent open surgical repair of CRA at a single high volume referral centre between January 2009 and June 2023. The operation was preceded by pre-operative computed tomography angiography (CTA). Follow up was carried out to assess clinical improvement regarding walking, blood pressure control, and visceral and renal ischaemia. Post-operative survival and patency of the aorta and revascularised visceral arteries were evaluated by the Kaplan–Meier method.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Thirty eight patients, with a mean age of 65 years and predominantly women (57.9%), were included in the study. The surgical indication was RVH in 40.6%, CMI in 25%, and malperfusion of the lower limbs in 71.9% of patients. All procedures were performed by left lumbotomy, with re-implantation or visceral and or renal artery bypass in 15 patients (39.5%) and 17 (44.7%) cases of simultaneous infrarenal aortic revascularisation. One death (2.6%) secondary to acute mesenteric ischaemia occurred post-operatively. Three patients (7.9%) presented with myocardial infarction and 11 (28.9%) with post-operative acute kidney failure without haemodialysis. Median follow up was 32.5 months. Post-operatively, all patients with CMI and claudication became asymptomatic, and 17 (56.7%) showed improved hypertension. Six patients needed repeat visceral artery revascularisation. No CRA related death occurred during follow up. Survival rates were 91.9% and 61.6% at one and five years, respectively.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Visceral aortic endarterectomy by left sided lumbotomy, preceded by multiplanar reconstruction CTA, is a safe and effective procedure for CRA, with low operative mortality and acceptable morbidity rates. Long term clinical monitoring by colour duplex scan or CTA is recommended due to a risk of re-stenosis of the endarterectomised visceral arteries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55160,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery","volume":"69 4","pages":"Pages 560-567"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142822640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
