- Analysis of the Correlation Between Central Obesity and Abdominal Aortic Diseases(2019) APOLONI, Rafael Correa; ZERATI, Antonio Eduardo; WOLOSKER, Nelson; SAES, Glauco Fernandes; WOLOSKER, Marina; CURADO, Taina; PUECH-LEAO, Pedro; LUCCIA, Nelson DeBackground: Atherosclerosis and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) have several similar risk factors but different pathogenesis. Inflammation of the arteries is common to both. Central obesity can act as an endocrine organ through the secretion of inflammatory cytokines, and the perivascular fat has a local effect that could contribute to diseases of the abdominal aorta. Although the relation between central obesity and atherosclerosis occlusive arterial disease has been demonstrated, the correlation with AAA has conflicting results. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between central obesity and the presence of abdominal aortic diseases using computed tomography. Methods: Six hundred thirty-nine consecutive patients classified into 3 groups (AAA, aortic atherosclerotic occlusive disease (AAOD), and without aortic disease [control group]) who underwent computed tomography had the aorta diameter, the visceral fat area (VFA), and the subcutaneous fat area (SFA) measured at the level of third and fourth lumbar vertebrae. Results: VFA showed no difference between the groups. SFA was lower in atherosclerotic group (AAOD) than control (P < 0.01 in general and P < 0.04 in male). In AAA group, we found in men that the first tertile of aorta diameter had higher VFA than third tertile (P = 0.02). Conclusions: There was no difference in VFA between patients in AAA, AAOD, and without aortic disease groups. In men with aneurysm, there was an inverse relationship between VFA and aortic diameter. In AAOD, visceral to subcutaneous ratio is higher due to lower SFA.
bookPart Tratamento minimamente invasivo da doença arterial periférica(2016) ZERATI, Antonio Eduardo; LUCCIA, Nelson de; WOLOSKER, NelsonconferenceObject The End of Wire Wrapping: A Technique to Avoid Intertwining Preloaded Guidewires for Endovascular Aortic Arch Repair(2022) QUEIROZ, Andre B.; SIQUEIRA, Jose; MOTA, Rodrigo S.; LUCCIA, Nelson De; MULATTI, Grace C.; PASSOS, Luiz S.- Paraplegia of Lower Limbs Caused by a Segmental Thrombosis of the Descending Thoracic Aorta Reversed with Endovascular Treatmentd-A Case Report and Literature Review(2018) LEIDERMAN, Dafne Braga Diamante; WOLOSKER, Nelson; OLIVEIRA, Marcos Vieira de Melo; CARVALHO, Heitor Andrei Miranda de; BARAO, Felipe Trajano de Freitas; ZERATI, Antonio Eduardo; LUCCIA, Nelson De; PUECH-LEAO, PedroBackground: Transient paraplegia of the lower limbs is a rare condition and, when has a vascular etiology, is usually associated with thromboembolic events, aortic dissection, aortic aneurysms, or as a complication of the surgical correction of those diseases. There is no case reported of acute paraplegia caused by a segmental thrombotic subocclusion of the descending thoracic aorta. Case Report: We report a not yet described clinical situation of a young patient (51 years) admitted to the emergency care department for treatment of systemic arterial hypertension of difficult control with 4 antihypertensive medication classes. At the intensive care unit for treatment with intravenous antihypertensive medication, the patient evolved with acute paraplegia and a segmental thrombotic subocclusion of the descending thoracic aorta was diagnosed. He was submitted to endovascular treatment with total recovery of the deficits. Conclusions: The previously normal descending thoracic aorta may be a site of segmental thrombosis and may lead to paraplegia. Early endovascular treatment can reverse this type of situation.
- Biomechanical Properties and Microstructural Analysis of the Human Nonaneurysmal Aorta as a Function of Age, Gender and Location: An Autopsy Study(2015) NINOMIYA, Otavio Henrique; MONTEIRO, Jose Augusto Tavares; HIGUCHI, Maria de Lourdes; PUECH-LEAO, Pedro; LUCCIA, Nelson de; RAGHAVAN, Madhavan Lakshmi; SILVA, Erasmo Simao daIntroduction: The biomechanical failure properties and histological composition of the human nonaneurysmal aorta were studied. Methods: Twenty-six human aortas were harvested from fresh cadavers at autopsy. A total of 153 circumferentially oriented strips were obtained from the aortas for biomechanical and histological studies. Results: The failure load (6.18 +/- 2.03 vs. 4.85 +/- 2.04 N; p = 0.001), failure tension (19.88 +/- 9.05 vs. 14.53 +/- 7 N/cm; p = 0.001), failure strain (0.66 +/- 0.31 vs. 0.49 +/- 0.25; p = 0.003) and amount of elastic fibers (19.39 +/- 15.57 vs. 14.06 +/- 9.5%; p = 0.011) were all significantly higher for the thoracic than the abdominal aorta. There was a significant negative correlation between age and failure load (R = -0.35; p < 0.0001), failure stress (R = -0.63; p < 0.0001), failure tension (R = -0.52; p < 0.0001) and failure strain (R = -0.8; p < 0.0001). Male aortas had a higher failure load and failure tension than female aortas. Conclusion: The thoracic aorta has a higher strength and elasticity than the abdominal aorta. The elderly have weaker and stiffer aortas than the young. Male aortas are stronger than female aortas. (C) 2016 S. Karger AG, Basel
- Imaging Signs of May-Thurner Syndrome in Asymptomatic Patients: Computed Tomography Angiography Analysis of Kidney Donors(2023) LOPES, Daniel F.; ZERATI, Antonio E.; LUCCIA, Nelson De; NAHAS, William C.; PUECH-LEAO, PedroBackground: The current study aimed to evaluate the distance between the right common iliac artery (RCIA) and lumbar vertebra in asymptomatic patients in order to determine whether such distance was statistically correlated with the left common iliac vein (LCIV) diameter (LCIVD) and to investigate if both measures were related to demographic characteristics and anthropometric data, such as sex, age, height, and body mass index (BMI).Methods: In this descriptive and uncontrolled anatomic study, data from high-definition computed tomography (CT) angiography images of living kidney donors without a medical history of chronic venous insufficiency or past deep vein thrombosis (DVT) were analyzed. The RCIA crossed over the LCIV in 311 individuals, who were then included in this study. CT scans were reviewed to measure (1) the narrowest space between the RCIA and fifth lumbar vertebral body and (2) the LCIVD. Measures were subjected to normality tests and were divided according to the sex of the study population. Correlations of measures with age, BMI, and height were calculated.Results: Of the 311 patients analyzed, 66.6% (n = 207) were female. The mean lumbar vertebral bodyeiliac artery distance (LVBIAD) was 7.2 mm, whereas the mean LCIVD was 8.5 mm; both were higher in men (P < 0.001). The statistical analysis of LVBIAD and LCIVD distributions revealed no normality pattern (P < 0.05). The analysis of the correlation between them showed a weak statistically significant relationship with age. A linear regression model considering the normality percentile interval indicated a strong positive correlation between LVBIAD and LCIVD (R2 = 0.884).Conclusions: The LVBIAD was <5 mm and <3 mm in 25% and 5% of asymptomatic individ-uals, respectively. The LCIVD correlated with the space between the RCIA and lumbar vertebra. The distance between the RCIA and lumbar vertebra and the LCIVD were higher in male sub-jects and older patients, but did not correlate with BMI and height.
- Type II Endoleaks, Left-Arm Complications, and Need of Revascularization after Left Subclavian Artery Coverage for Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms Endovascular Repair: A Systematic Review(2017) BELCZAK, Sergio Quilici; SILVA, Erasmo Simao; KLAJNER, Rafael; PUECH-LEAO, Pedro; LUCCIA, Nelson DeBackground: The status of the left arm, the need of revascularization, and the occurrence of type II endoleakes from de left subclavian artery (LSA) after intention LSA coverage for thoracic aortic aneurysm endovascular repair need to be better understood. This systematic review was developed for contributing with such issue. Methods: Systematic literature review of studies published from January 2000 through December 2015 identified 7 studies comprising 201 patients submitted to elective endovascular repair for thoracic aortic aneurysms requiring intentional LSA coverage. Outcomes of interest included left-arm complications (ischemia, symptoms of claudication, and subclavian steal syndrome [SSS]) requiring postoperative revascularization of LSA, as well as endoleaks from the subclavian artery requiring postoperative embolization of LSA. Results: Left-arm complication rate was 4.5% (9 patients), requiring postoperative revascularization of LSA in 1 case (0.5%) of SSS. Type II endoleaks from the subclavian artery requiring postoperative embolization of LSA were reported in 2 cases (1.0%). Conclusions: Low-quality evidence suggests very low rates of arm complications with need of LSA revascularization and of type II endoleaks requiring embolization in elective endovascular treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms with intentional coverage of LSA without prophylactic revascularization of LSA.
conferenceObject Renal Revascularization in the Endovascular Era: A Case Series of Open Techniques(2022) MULATTI, Grace Carvajal; LUCCIA, Nelson De; CARVALHO, Joao Pedro Lins Mendes de; LIMA, Guilherme Baumgardt Barbosa; QUEIROZ, Andre Brito; PUECH-LEAO, Pedro- Prevalence of signs of celiac axis compression by the median arcuate ligament on computed tomography angiography in asymptomatic patients(2018) PETNYS, Alexandre; PUECH-LEAO, Pedro; ZERATI, Antonio Eduardo; RITTI-DIAS, Raphael Mendes; NAHAS, William Carlos; NETO, Elias David; LUCCIA, Nelson DeObjective: The increasing use of computed tomography (CT) angiography has led to more frequent diagnoses of celiac artery compression (CAC) by the median arcuate ligament (MAL). The signs of CAC by the MAL have been described as stenosis and a hook or J appearance on sagittal views. The importance of the ""hook signal,"" however, has not been documented by studies of the normal anatomy of the celiac axis. Methods: CT angiography images of 344 completely asymptomatic, live kidney donors (without history of chronic abdominal pain or weight loss) were reviewed. The angle of emergence (AE) of the celiac axis from the aorta and the angle of upward or downward shifting of the celiac axis before its first branch (fold angle [ FA]) were measured. Weight, height, and body mass index were obtained from our electronic database, and correlations with the angles measured were tested. The occurrence of stenosis >50% at the origins of the celiac axis was also determined in the sample. Results: Measurements were possible in 321 cases. The celiac axis was found to leave the aorta at an angle of <90 degrees in all patients (AE range, 7-83 degrees) and < 45 degrees in 292 (90%) patients. The FA ranged from 66 to 208 degrees. Before the first branch, the celiac trunk shifted upward in 306 (95%) patients, remained straight in just one of them, and shifted downward in 14 (4%). The AE was positively correlated with weight in women. The FA was negatively correlated with weight in men and women. Body mass index was positively correlated with AE and negatively correlated with FA in both men and women. In 11 cases (3.4%), stenosis >50% was found at the origin of the celiac axis. In only two patients, the celiac axis had an upward slope after the stenosis, which could be interpreted as a hook shape. Conclusions: The normal anatomy of the celiac axis, when seen on CT angiography images, demonstrates that it exits the aorta downward and then shifts upward. This hook or J shape should not be interpreted as resulting from external compression. CAC by the MAL occurs in 3.42% of the normal asymptomatic population; a hook or J shape is not visible in most cases in that subgroup.
- Influence of Criteria Used in Determining Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (NCEP-ATPIII versus IDF) in Patients with Intermittent Claudication(2014) ZERATI, Antonio Eduardo; GUIMARAES, Ana Lucia Monteiro; CARVALHO, Heitor Andrei Miranda de; SAES, Glauco Fernandes; RAGAZZO, Luciana; WOLOSKER, Nelson; LUCCIA, Nelson deBackground: In patients with peripheral arterial disease, metabolic syndrome is associated with less favorable evolution of intermittent claudication. Methods: The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in claudicant patients using the IDF and the NCEP-ATPIII criteria, and to assess the level of agreement between the two definitions. Results: In this cross-sectional study, 200 consecutive patients with intermittent claudication (65% male) were classified with or without metabolic syndrome according both criteria. The kappa coefficient was used to assess the level of agreement. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 60.5% when using the NCEP-ATPIII definition and 66.5% when using the IDF definition (P = 0.088). Among men, the prevalence of MetS was 55.4% according to the NCEP-ATPIII and 63.1% according to the IDF (P = 0.110) and, among women, 70.0% according to the NCEP-ATPIII and 72.9% according to the IDF (P = 0.754). Conclusion: Although the prevalence rates were similar, the reliability analysis showed that the agreement was substantial only among women and just moderate in the total population and among men.
