Evaluation of possible sources of polymer embolization after fenestrated aortic repairs mimicking spinal cord ischemia
Hydrophilic polymer embolization (HPE) syndrome after fenestrated endovascular aortic repair is a rare and devastating complication. Currently, no data exist linking clinical HPE to specific candidate endovascular devices from which the polymer may have arisen. We report two cases of HPE in patients who underwent fenestrated endovascular aortic repairs. Using a dermal biopsy sample and 18 routinely used devices, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy established matches in elemental signature between the devices and embolized material located in dermal capillaries. Using a carbon to oxygen ratio of approximately 1.5, we identified eight devices with polymer material suspected to be the source of the embolization.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing peer review high quality case reports, vascular images and innovative techniques related to all aspects of arterial, venous, and lymphatic diseases and disorders, including vascular trauma, malformations, wound care and the placement and maintenance of arterio-venous dialysis accesses with an emphasis on the practicing clinician. The Journal seeks to provide novel and timely information to vascular surgeons, interventionalists, phlebologists, wound care specialists, and allied health professionals involved with the management of patients with the entire spectrum of vascular disorders.
