Key Highlights
-
Multidisciplinary approach involving pulmonology ensures comprehensive respiratory care.Pre-operative pulmonary optimization can significantly improve surgical outcomes.Expert management of ventilation during and after surgery reduces lung-related risks.Critical role in preventing and treating post-operative pulmonary complications.Enhances overall patient safety and recovery potential from a major vascular procedure.
Who is this surgery for?
- Large thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (typically >5.5-6.0 cm in diameter).
- Rapidly expanding aneurysm (growth >0.5 cm per year).
- Symptomatic aneurysm causing back, chest, or abdominal pain.
- High-risk anatomy or connective tissue disorders (e.g., Marfan syndrome, Loeys-Dietz).
- Prior aortic dissection involving the thoracoabdominal segment.
- Patient deemed fit for major surgery after multidisciplinary evaluation.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and arterial blood gas analysis.
- Smoking cessation counseling and support for at least 4-6 weeks prior.
- Optimization of chronic lung conditions (e.g., COPD, asthma) with medications.
- Pre-operative breathing exercises and incentive spirometry training.
- Cardiac and renal evaluation to assess overall surgical risk.
- CT angiography or MRA for precise surgical planning of the aneurysm.
- Discussion of anesthesia plan, focusing on lung-protective strategies.
Risks & possible complications
- Pulmonary: Pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), prolonged ventilator dependence, pleural effusion.
- Cardiac: Heart attack, arrhythmias, heart failure.
- Renal: Acute kidney injury, potentially requiring dialysis.
- Neurological: Spinal cord ischemia leading to paralysis (paraplegia), stroke.
- Bleeding, infection, or graft-related complications.
- Bowel ischemia or other gastrointestinal complications.
- Death, as it is a high-risk major surgery.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial recovery in the ICU with close monitoring of vital signs, lung function, and neurological status.
- Aggressive pulmonary hygiene: frequent suctioning, chest physiotherapy, and early mobilization.
- Gradual weaning from mechanical ventilation as lung function improves.
- Pain management is crucial to allow for deep breathing and coughing.
- Transition to a step-down unit, focusing on physical therapy and gradual ambulation.
- Long-term follow-up includes imaging to monitor the repair, blood pressure control, and continued pulmonary rehabilitation if needed.
- Lifestyle modifications, including a heart-healthy diet and strict blood pressure management.
