[PMID: 38792960 PMCID: PMC11123046 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60050777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Lower extremity arterial disease is one of the most prevalent manifestations of atherosclerosis. The results from numerous studies regarding the best revascularization method of an occluded superficial femoral artery have been conflicting. The aim of this study was to compare the patency of transvenous endovascular with open femoropopliteal bypass, both with vein and prosthetic grafts. To our knowledge, a direct patency comparison between transvenous endovascular and open femoropopliteal bypass has not been published. This could help elucidate which method is preferable and in which cases. Materials and Methods: Patients with complex TASC-C and D SFA lesions were offered endovascular transvenous or open bypass. A total of 384 consecutive patients with PAD requiring surgical treatment were evaluated for inclusion in this study. Three-year follow-up data were collected for 52 endovascular procedures, 80 prosthetic grafts, and 44 venous bypass surgeries. Bypass patency was investigated by Duplex US every 6 months. Kaplan-Meier plots were used to analyze primary, primary-assisted, and secondary patency for endovascular transvenous, autovenous, and prosthetic bypasses. Results: Primary, primary-assisted, and secondary patency in venous group at 3 years was 70.5%, 77.3%, and 77.3%, respectively. In the endovascular transvenous group, primary, primary-assisted, and secondary patency at 3 years was 46.2%, 69.2%, and 76.9%, respectively. The lowest patency rates at 3 years were noted in the prosthetic graft group with 22.5% primary, 26.6% primary-assisted, and 28.2% secondary patency. Conclusions: The saphenous vein is the best graft to perform in above-the-knee femoropopliteal bypass. Transvenous endovascular bypass is a viable option with comparable primary-assisted and secondary patency. Primary patency is substantially lower for endovascular transvenous compared to venous bypass. Patients treated with endovascular transvenous bypass will require a significant number of secondary procedures to provide optimal patency. Prosthetic grafts should only be used if no other option for bypass is available.

Int Wound J 2023; 20:3558-3566. [PMID: 37328950 PMCID: PMC10588360 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.14229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023] Open
Abstract
A meta-analysis investigation was executed to measure the outcome of endovascular surgery (ES) and open surgery (OS) for the management of peripheral artery diseases (PADs) on amputation and limb salvage (LS). A comprehensive literature inspection till February 2023 was applied and 3451 interrelated investigations were reviewed. The 31 chosen investigations enclosed 19 948 individuals with PADs were in the chosen investigations' starting point, 8861 of them were utilising ES, and 11 087 were utilising OS. Odds ratio (OR) in addition to 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were utilised to compute the value of the effect of ES and OS for the management of PADs on amputation and LS by the dichotomous approaches and a fixed or random model. ES had significantly lower amputation (OR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.68-0.93, P = 0.005) compared with those with OS in individuals with PADs. No significant difference was found between ES and OS in 30-day LS (OR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.64-1.42, P = 0.81), 1-year LS (OR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.81-1.39, P = 0.68), and 3-year LS (OR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.61-1.19, P = 0.36) in individuals with PADs. ES had significantly lower amputation, 30-day LS, 1-year LS, and 3-year LS compared with those with OS in individuals with PADs. However, care must be exercised when dealing with its values because of the low sample size of some of the nominated investigations for the meta-analysis.

Endovascular revascularization vs. open surgical revascularization for patients with lower extremity artery disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1223841. [PMID: 37554365 PMCID: PMC10405177 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1223841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, the main treatment for lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) is revascularization, including endovascular revascularization (EVR) and open surgical revascularization (OSR), but the specific revascularization strategy for LEAD is controversial. This review provided the comprehensive and recent evidence for the treatment of LEAD. METHODS Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant articles. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies comparing the short-term or long-term outcomes between EVR and OSR of LEAD were identified. Short-term outcomes were 30-day mortality, major amputation, wound complication, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), and length of hospital stay (LOS), while long-term outcomes included overall survival (OS), amputation-free survival (AFS), freedom from re-intervention (FFR), primary patency (PP), and secondary patency (SP). RESULTS 11 RCTs and 105 cohorts involving 750,134 patients were included in this analysis. For the pooled results of cohort studies, EVR markedly decreased the risk of 30-day mortality, wound complication, MACEs, LOS, but increased the risk of OS, FFR, PP, and SP. For the pooled outcomes of RCTs, EVR was associated with obviously lower 30-day mortality, less wound complication and shorter LOS, but higher risk of PP, and SP. However, both RCTs and cohorts did not show obvious difference in 30-day major amputation and AFS. CONCLUSIONS Both the pooled results of cohorts and RCTs indicated that EVR was associated with a lower short-term risk for LEAD, while OSR was accompanied by a substantially lower long-term risk. Therefore, the life expectancy of LEAD should be strictly considered when choosing the revascularization modality. As the current findings mainly based on data of retrospective cohort studies, additional high-quality studies are essential to substantiate these results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intermittent Claudication (IC) is exercise pain seen in lower extremity arterial diseases. If it is left untreated, it may be the initial sign of a process leading to amputation. In the present study, the purpose was to compare the postoperative early and mid-term results of the patients who were treated with endovascular methods and those who underwent bypass graft surgery in the treatment due to IC complaints because of isolated Femoropopliteal Arterial Disease. METHOD Postoperative first-month, sixth-month, and 12th-month follow-up results, procedure requirements, and demographic characteristics of the 153 patients who underwent femoropopliteal bypass because of isolated Femoropopliteal Arterial Disease and 294 patients who underwent endovascular intervention in our hospital between January 2015 and May 2020 were compared in the study. RESULTS It was found in demographic characteristics that endovascular intervention was performed more frequently in smokers and graft bypass surgery was performed more frequently in hyperlipidemic patients, and the results were found to be statistically significant. High amputation rates were detected at statistically significant levels in diabetic and hypertriglycemic patients and 1-year primary patency rates were found to be higher in patients who underwent graft bypass surgery. No differences were detected between the two methods in terms of mortality. CONCLUSION Interventional treatment modalities must be considered for patients with isolated Femoropopliteal Arterial Disease whose symptoms persist despite exercise and the best medical treatment. We think that Bypass Graft Surgery has more positive results than endovascular interventions when short and medium-term amputation, repetitive intervention needs, and changes in quality of life are compared in patients who receive the same medical treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the midterm safety and effectiveness of the Gore® Viabahn® Endoprosthesis as treatment for symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the superficial femoral arteries (SFA). MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective, multicenter, post-market surveillance study was conducted in Japan. Patients with symptomatic SFA lesions ≥ 10 cm and reference vessel diameters ranging from 4.0 to 7.5 mm were eligible for enrollment; patients with traumatic or iatrogenic vessel injury in the thoracic, abdominal, or pelvic arteries were excluded. Outcomes evaluated at 12 months were primary patency (PP), primary-assisted patency (PAP), secondary patency (SP), freedom from target lesion revascularization (fTLR), occurrence of device- or procedure-related serious adverse events (SAEs), and stent fractures. RESULTS From August 2016 to May 2017, 321 patients were enrolled at 64 Japanese sites (mean age, 73.9±8.7 years; 77.3% male). Hypertension, diabetes, and end stage renal disease were present in 84.4%, 54.8%, and 23.1% of patients, respectively. Mean lesion length was 23.6 cm±6.6 cm, with lesions ≥ 15 cm in 271 patients (84.4%). TASC C/D lesions accounted for 86.6% (39.1% TASC C, 47.5% TASC D); 26.5% had critical limb ischemia. Baseline ABI was 0.60±0.16. A total of 562 devices were implanted in 324 limbs, with a majority of patients (68.8%) receiving 2 stents. Through 12 months, 92.1% of patients were evaluable. Kaplan-Meier-estimated PP, PAP, and SP at 12 months was 85.6%, 91.7%, and 94.8%, respectively. Twelve-month fTLR was 92.3%. Mean change in ABI at 12 months was 0.343±0.21; mean improvement in Rutherford class was 2.5. Device- or procedure-related SAEs occurred in 3.1% through 30 days, with a majority of early SAEs consisting of access complications. Through 12 months, a cumulative 10.6% had device- or procedure-related SAEs, with the most common being device occlusions in 4.0%. Lower limb amputation occurred in 0.9% and was related to pre-existing ulceration or gangrene in all 3 cases. No stent fractures were observed at 12-month x-ray evaluation. CONCLUSION In a real-world Japanese patient population characterized by long SFA lesions and complex PAD, the Viabahn endoprosthesis was associated with excellent patency rates through 12 months and an acceptable safety profile.

The Global Limb Anatomic Staging System is associated with outcomes of infrainguinal revascularization in chronic limb threatening ischemia. J Vasc Surg 2021; 73:2009-2020.e4. [PMID: 33548444 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2020.12.094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2020] [Accepted: 12/29/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Global Limb Anatomic Staging System (GLASS) has been proposed to facilitate clinical decision-making regarding revascularization for chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI). The purpose of the present study was to define its relationship to the treatment outcomes in CLTI. METHODS Consecutive patients who had undergone peripheral angiography for rest pain or tissue loss from January 2017 to July 2019 at a tertiary referral center with a dedicated limb preservation program were reviewed. Subjects with significant aortoiliac disease, previous infrainguinal stenting or functioning bypass grafts, or GLASS stage 0 were excluded. The GLASS score was assigned from the preintervention angiography findings, and the treating surgeon determined the primary infrapopliteal target artery pathway for the limb at risk. The demographic data, procedural details, and clinical outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS The study cohort included 167 patients and 194 limbs, of which 175 of 194 limbs (90%) had presented with tissue loss and 149 of 182 limbs (83%) with WIfI (Wound, Ischemia and foot Infection) stage 3 or 4. The GLASS stage was GLASS 1 in 14%, GLASS 2 in 18%, and GLASS 3 in 68%. GLASS 3 anatomy was present in 85% of 52 limbs treated by bypass and 55% of 108 limbs treated by endovascular intervention (EVI; P < .001). Revascularization was not performed in 34 limbs, most of which were GLASS 3 (85%). Immediate technical failure for EVI (ie, failure to establish target artery pathway) occurred exclusively in the setting of GLASS 3 anatomy (n = 13; 22%). After a median follow-up of 10 months, limb-based patency after EVI was significantly lower in GLASS 3 than in GLASS 1 or 2 limbs (42% vs 59%; P = .018). GLASS 3 was associated with reduced major adverse limb events-free survival in both the EVI group (P = .002) and the overall revascularized cohort (P = .001). GLASS 3 was also associated with significantly reduced overall survival, amputation-free survival, and reintervention-free survival. In a Cox proportional hazards model, GLASS 3 (hazard ratio, 2.35; 95% confidence interval, 1.30-4.24; P = .005) and WIfI wound grade 3 (hazard ratio, 2.64; 95% confidence interval, 1.26-5.53; P = .010) were independent predictors of reduced major adverse limb events-free survival after revascularization. CONCLUSIONS GLASS stage 3 was strongly associated with major adverse clinical outcomes after revascularization in patients with CLTI.
