    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic or iliac artery pathologies in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). METHODS: From January 2014 to December 2019, fifteen consecutive patients (13 men, mean age 69.3 years, range 56-82 years) with abdominal aortic or iliac artery pathologies coexisting with ADPKD underwent EVAR in our department. Their general data, perioperative results and follow-up outcomes were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. RESULTS: Among the fifteen patients, eleven had abdominal aortic aneurysms, one had isolated abdominal aortic dissection and the other three had iliac artery aneurysms. Three patients had thoracic penetrating aortic ulcer and two had intracranial aneurysms as the comorbidities. All patients underwent EVAR with the aorto-iliac pathologies successfully excluded. The average operative time was 171±73 minutes and average contrast volume was 87±12mL. The average follow-up time was 38.4 months (range 6-60). Aorta-bi-iliac stent-grafts were deployed in fourteen patients, while one patient received tubular stent-graft. Two patients underwent simultaneous TEVAR and EVAR, and One underwent EVAR 3 months after TEVAR. One patient was found to have a hematoma at the site of femoral access 3 days after EVAR. One patient was found to have a Type Ib endoleak 5 months after EVAR, and he recovered well with a secondary endovascular intervention. Contrast-induced nephropathy was observed in two patients (13%) post EVAR. Another patient developed renal failure 20 months after EVAR and was treated with regular hemodialysis. All other patients did not have any reported significant deterioration of renal function during follow-up. No other adverse events, such as death, paraplegia, aneurysm rupture, or open surgery conversion occurred during operation and follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: For patients with abdominal aortic or iliac artery diseases coexisting with ADPKD, EVAR had satisfactory mid-term outcomes, without significantly exacerbating the decline of renal function. However, patients with ADPKD might have multiple vascular lesions, especially intracranial aneurysms, which should be paid enough attention in clinical practice.
