Azygos vein aneurysms are rare and asymptomatic in many cases. The management for these aneurysms is controversial, and there is no clear guideline or evidence-based threshold for surgical or interventional therapy.
Herein, we report the case of a giant azygos vein aneurysm in a 78-year-old man that was treated with a reversed L-shaped incision. A 56 × 77 mm saccular azygos vein aneurysm was incidentally detected on computed tomography. Subsequently, surgical resection with interventional radiology and reversed L-shaped thoracotomy was performed. First, we performed coil embolization of the azygos vein aneurysm inflow. Next, a cardiopulmonary bypass was established through a reversed L-shaped sternotomy, and the aneurysm was excised.
In this case, surgical resection via reversed L incision was effective.
奇静脉动脉瘤较为罕见,许多病例中无明显症状。这些动脉瘤的治疗存在争议,对于手术或介入治疗,尚无明确的指南或基于证据的阈值。
在此,我们报告一例78岁男性巨大奇静脉动脉瘤的病例,采用倒L形切口进行治疗。计算机断层扫描偶然发现一个56×77毫米的囊状奇静脉动脉瘤。随后,进行了介入放射学辅助下的手术切除及倒L形开胸手术。首先,我们对奇静脉动脉瘤的流入道进行了弹簧圈栓塞。接下来,通过倒L形胸骨切开术建立体外循环,切除动脉瘤。
在本病例中,经倒L形切口进行手术切除是有效的。
