Abstract
Endovascular revascularization for aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) is now considered first-line therapy for patients with claudication and critical limb ischemia and in asymptomatic patients in whom large-bore access is required (eg, mechanical circulatory support or transcatheter aortic valve replacement). The authors review the data supporting endovascular therapy for AIOD, indications and contraindications for AIOD revascularization, as well as the procedural techniques required to safely perform endovascular therapy in this vascular bed. They review prevention and management of the major complications that can occur during these procedures. Finally, they discuss postprocedural management to maintain patency and optimize patient outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The direct thrombin inhibitor bivalirudin (BIV) was shown to be superior to unfractionated heparin (UFH) in percutaneous coronary interventions for reducing procedural blood loss. The aim of this study was to compare outcome profiles of BIV and UFH in peripheral endovascular procedures (PEPs) by synthesizing the currently available data. METHODS Following the PRISMA statement, we conducted a comprehensive literature search using Medline, Cochrane CENTRAL, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL Google scholar, and clinicaltrials.gov. We recruited randomized, controlled trials and well-conducted observational studies that compared UFH and BIV in PEPs requiring anticoagulation, excluding endovascular cardiac procedures and coronary interventions. Random-effects meta-analyses were conducted to compare the outcome profiles of these two agents. RESULTS Thirteen articles containing 14 studies involving a total of 21,057 patients were enrolled. Of these, 2 were randomized controlled trials, 2 were prospective cohort studies, and 10 were retrospective studies. There were no significant differences between BIV and UFH in terms of procedural success rates, major and minor perioperative bleeding, transfusion, perioperative transient ischemic attack, or hemorrhagic strokes. However, compared with UFH, BIV had significantly lower odds ratios (OR) of perioperative mortality (OR, 0.58; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.40-0.86), major adverse cardiovascular events (OR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.51-0.83), net adverse clinical events (OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.63-0.88), perioperative myocardial infarction (OR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.55-0.98), major vascular complications (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.39-0.91), and minor vascular complications (OR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.40-0.84). CONCLUSIONS Compared with UFH, PEPs using BIV had comparable procedural success rates and odds of perioperative transient ischemic attack and hemorrhagic stroke. However, procedures with BIV had a lower but nonsignificant odds of perioperative bleeding and transfusion. Depending on the procedures conducted, the patients who received BIV will have reduced or comparable odds of perioperative mortality, myocardial infarction, major adverse cardiovascular events, net adverse clinical events, and major and minor vascular complications. Therefore, BIV may be chosen solely as an alternative procedural anticoagulant to UFH for PEPs.

Abstract
Background Bivalirudin may be an effective alternative anticoagulant to heparin for use in percutaneous peripheral interventions. We aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of bivalirudin versus heparin as the procedural anticoagulant agent in patients undergoing percutaneous peripheral intervention. Methods For this meta-analysis and systematic review, we conducted a search in PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane for all the clinical studies in which bivalirudin was compared to heparin as the procedural anticoagulant in percutaneous peripheral interventions. Outcomes studied included all-cause mortality, all-bleeding, major and minor bleeding, and access site complications. Results Eleven studies were included in the analysis, totaling 20,137 patients. There was a significant difference favoring bivalirudin over heparin for all-cause mortality (risk ratio 0.58, 95% CI 0.39–0.87), all-bleeding (risk ratio 0.62, 95% CI 0.50–0.78), major bleeding (risk ratio 0.61, 95% CI 0.39–0.96), minor bleeding (risk ratio 0.66, 95% CI 0.47–0.92), and access site complications (risk ratio 0.66, 95% CI 0.51–0.84). There was no significant difference in peri-procedural need for blood transfusions (risk ratio 0.79, 95% CI 0.57–1.08), myocardial infarction (risk ratio 0.87, 95% CI 0.59–1.28), stroke (risk ratio 0.77, 95% CI 0.59–1.01), intracranial bleeding (risk ratio 0.77, 95% CI 0.29–2.02), or amputations (OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.53–1.05). Conclusion Our meta-analysis suggests that bivalirudin use for percutaneous peripheral interventions is associated with lower all-cause mortality, bleeding, and access site complications as compared to heparin. Further large randomized trials are needed to confirm the current results.

CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2018; 19:695-699. [PMID: 29477790 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2018.01.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2017] [Revised: 01/15/2018] [Accepted: 01/19/2018] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A number of studies suggest that bivalirudin (BIV) is associated with similar efficacy but reduced bleeding when compared with unfractionated heparin (UFH) in patients undergoing peripheral vascular interventions (PVI). METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted with the electronic databases MEDLINE, EMBASE and CENTRAL. These were queried to identify studies comparing BIV with UFH in PVI. Study endpoints included total bleeding events, major and minor bleeding events and procedural success. Random-effects meta-analysis method was used to pool endpoint odds ratios (OR) for both UFH and BIV with 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS A total of 12,335 patients (70.6 years; 59.7% male) were included from seven observational cohort studies (two prospective and five retrospective) comparing outcomes between BIV and UFH during PVI between January 2000 and May 2017. Compared with BIV, UFH was associated with significantly higher total bleeding, (OR 1.52 with 95% CI 1.11 to 2.09, p = 0.009), major bleeding (OR 1.38 with 95% CI 1.13 to 1.68, p = 0.002), and minor bleeding (OR 1.51 with 95% CI 1.09 to 2.08, p = 0.01). Procedural success rates were not different between the two groups (BIV vs HEP: OR 0.90 with 95% CI 0.49 to 1.64, p = 0.72) CONCLUSION: Compared with BIV, UFH was associated with more bleeding when used during PVI. There was no significant difference in procedural success between the two anticoagulation strategies.
