Extensive Aortic Stent Graft Coverage for Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm is Associated With Hemorrhagic Complications Induced by Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation

Description
Hybrid endovascular repair for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) is a less invasive alternative treatment than conventional open repair. However, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and hemorrhagic complications can occur postoperatively. We investigated risk factors for hemorrhagic complications after hybrid endovascular TAAA repair.Sixty-one patients who underwent elective hybrid endovascular TAAA repair between 2007 and 2020 were included. Laboratory data before and after placing stent graft were collected, and DIC was diagnosed using a scoring system established by the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine. The length of the stent graft used to cover the aorta was defined as the aortic coverage length, which was measured using the first postoperative computed tomography image. Predictors of unexpected hemorrhagic complications were evaluated.Postoperative thrombocytopenia was observed in 57 (93%) patients, and their platelet count decreased significantly after stent graft placement (14.3 [9.5-18.0] vs. 8.2 [5.4-10.9] × 10Aortic coverage length is a risk factor for hemorrhagic complications. Patients undergoing extensive aortic coverage greater than 304 mm should be closely monitored.
