[PMID: 38599292 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2024.03.454] [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: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/31/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Most surgeons employ an endovascular-first approach to the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), but controversy remains regarding the ideal interventions for the management of isolated popliteal artery disease (IPAD). Indeed, there are a paucity of data that compare outcomes of popliteal stents vs other peripheral vascular interventions (PVIs). The goal of this study was to evaluate outcomes of PVIs in IPAD. METHODS The Vascular Study Group of New England database was queried for all IPAD PVIs performed for atherosclerotic occlusive disease from 2010 to 2021. Those with at least 1 year of follow-up data available were included for analysis. The primary endpoint was 1-year freedom from a composite target lesion (TL) treatment failure that included restenosis >50% on duplex, reintervention, or ipsilateral major amputation. RESULTS We included 689 procedures performed on 634 patients. Of these, 250 (36.3%) were treated with plain balloons (POBA), 215 (31.2%) had stents, 170 (24.7%) had special balloons (drug-coated, cutting, or lithotripsy), and 54 (7.8%) atherectomies were performed. Stent placement was associated with lower freedom from TL treatment failure (72.6%) than special balloon (81.2%; P = .048) and atherectomy (88.9%; P = .012), but not POBA (76.8%; P = .293). On multivariable logistic regression, stents (odds ratio, 0.637; P = .021) and preoperative P2Y12 inhibitor therapy (odds ratio, 0.683; P = .048) were both associated with lower freedom from intervention failure. CONCLUSIONS Popliteal stent placement is associated with a higher rate of TL treatment failure at 1 year when compared with other PVIs including special balloon angioplasty and atherectomy, but not POBA, and should therefore be avoided in favor of special balloons or atherectomy whenever feasible.

Retrospective analysis on diameters of drug-coated balloons and predilatation balloons in infra-inguinal endovascular treatment (RABBIT study). Cardiovasc Interv Ther 2024; 39:293-301. [PMID: 38632168 DOI: 10.1007/s12928-024-01001-9] [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: 10/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
This multicenter retrospective study assessed the clinical outcomes of endovascular therapy (EVT) using a drug-coated balloon (DCB) that was larger than the predilatation balloons for femoropopliteal artery lesions. We analyzed 1140 cases with symptomatic peripheral artery disease that underwent EVT with DCB for femoropopliteal lesions between 2017 and 2021. The primary endpoint was procedural failure, defined as a composite of deteriorated dissection and bailout stenting. The secondary endpoints included deteriorated dissection, bailout stenting, restenosis, and target lesion revascularization. We performed propensity score matching to compare the clinical outcomes between EVT with a DCB which was larger than the predilatation balloon (larger DCB) and EVT with a DCB which was not (nonlarger DCB). We assigned 276 cases to the larger DCB group and 864 cases to the nonlarger DCB group. Procedural failure was observed in 75 cases, whereas restenosis occurred in 282 cases during a mean follow-up period of 12.7 ± 9.7 months. Propensity score matching extracted 273 pairs with no intergroup difference in baseline characteristics, except the predilatation balloon size. Procedural failure (9.2% versus 6.1%, P = 0.11), deteriorated dissection and bailout stenting proportion (both P > 0.05), and 1-year rates of freedom from restenosis (82.4% versus 84.1%, P = 0.59) and target lesion revascularization (89.7% versus 90.4%, P = 0.83) showed no significant difference between the larger and nonlarger DCB groups. Irrespective of whether the DCB size was larger than the predilatation balloon, no difference was observed in either procedural or clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Below-the-knee (BTK) pseudoaneurysms that occur after endovascular therapy (EVT) and result in delayed rupture have rarely been reported. In this report, we present a rare case of an 86-year-old man with chronic limb-threatening ischemia who developed delayed rupture of an idiopathic pseudoaneurysm of the peroneal artery (PA) following EVT. The PA chronic total occlusion (CTO) was successfully crossed using a guidewire via an antegrade approach, however, subintimal crossing was confirmed by intravascular ultrasound. Balloon angioplasty was then performed using an appropriately sized balloon, resulting in successful recanalization of the PA CTO with minor dissection and no complications. Postoperatively, the patient's condition was stable until he suddenly complained of right calf pain 10 days after EVT. Computed tomography revealed a rupture of the PA pseudoaneurysm. Urgent angiography revealed two pseudoaneurysms, one saccular and the other spindle-shaped. The ruptured saccular aneurysm was successfully excluded through coil embolization and stent graft placement. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of delayed rupture of a BTK pseudoaneurysm following EVT. Balloon angioplasty in the subintimal space can lead to the formation of a pseudoaneurysm and its delayed rupture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to reveal the prevalence of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor treatment and its association with restenosis risk in patients with diabetes mellitus undergoing endovascular therapy for symptomatic peripheral artery disease. METHODS We used the database of a multicenter prospective study registering patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease undergoing femoropopliteal drug-coated balloon treatment in Japan. The current analysis included 1058 patients with diabetes mellitus free from end-stage renal disease. The association of clinical characteristics with SGLT2 inhibitor use was investigated using the logistic regression model. The propensity score matching was adopted to compare the primary patency, i.e., freedom from restenosis, after endovascular therapy between patients treated with and without a SGLT2 inhibitor. RESULTS The proportion of SGLT2 inhibitor treatment at revascularization was 14.8% (95% confidence interval, 12.8-17.1%). Younger age, increased body mass index, and increased hemoglobin A1c levels were independently associated with SGLT2 inhibitor use (all P < 0.05). The proportion of SGLT2 inhibitor reached 38.2% (95% confidence interval, 25.4-52.3%) in patients with the three associated factors. The propensity score-matching analysis demonstrated that primary patency was not different between patients treated with a SGLT2 inhibitor and those without it (72.0% [95% confidence interval, 64.1-80.9%] versus 67.8% [62.7-73.3%] at 2 years; P = 0.45). CONCLUSIONS SGLT2 inhibitors were not rarely used in patients with diabetes mellitus who underwent femoropopliteal endovascular therapy using a drug coated balloon for symptomatic peripheral artery disease in real-world settings. SGLT2 inhibitor treatment was not associated with an increased risk of restenosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although favorable results of fluoropolymer-based drug-eluting stent (FP-DES) treatment for femoropopliteal lesions have been reported, it is unclear whether minimal lumen area (MLA) after FP-DES implantation affects clinical outcomes. This study aimed to reveal the association between intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-evaluated MLA and the 1-year risk of restenosis and aneurysmal degeneration after FP-DES implantation for femoropopliteal lesions. METHODS A subanalysis of the CAPSICUM (Contemporary outcomes After Paclitaxel-eluting peripheral Stent implantation for symptomatic lower limb IsChemia with sUperficial feMoral or proximal popliteal lesion) study analyzed 718 limbs in 686 patients with available IVUS-evaluated MLA data. The association of MLA with the 1-year risk of restenosis and aneurysmal degeneration was analyzed using the generalized propensity score method. RESULTS The 1-year incidence rate of restenosis was estimated to be 8.8% (95% CI, 6.1% to 12.5%) for the upper quartile of MLA (21.1 mm2) versus 14.3% (95% CI, 10.7% to 18.7%) for the lower quartile of MLA (15.2 mm2), with an odds ratio of 0.58 (95% CI, 0.36 to 0.93; p = 0.024), whereas the 1-year incidence rate of aneurysmal degeneration was 23.8% (95% CI, 19.5% to 28.8%) for the upper quartile versus 16.8% (95% CI, 12.6% to 22.0%) for the lower quartile, with an odds ratio of 1.55 (95% CI, 1.04 to 2.32; p = 0.031). CONCLUSION A large MLA after FP-DES implantation for femoropopliteal lesions was associated with decreased restenosis risk but increased aneurysmal degeneration risk. These findings suggest that MLA is a valuable predictor of clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Isolated atherosclerotic popliteal lesions (IAPLs) have been considered challenging. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of endovascular therapy (EVT) using the newer devices for IAPLs. This retrospective multicenter registry analyzed patients with lower extremity artery disease having IAPLs who underwent EVT using the newer devices between 2018 and 2021. The primary outcome was primary patency 1 year after EVT. A total of 392 consecutive patients undergoing EVT for IAPLs were enrolled. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the primary patency and the freedom from target lesion revascularization were 80.9% and 87.8% 1 year after EVT, respectively. The multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that the clinical features that were independently associated with restenosis risk were drug-coated balloon (DCB) use for younger age (< 75 years old; adjusted hazard ratio, 3.08 [95% confidence interval 1.08-8.74]; P = 0.035), non-ambulatory status (2.74 [95% confidence interval 1.56-4.81]; P < 0.001), cilostazol use (0.51 [95% confidence interval 0.29-0.88]; P = 0.015), severe calcification (1.86 [95% confidence interval 1.18-2.94]; P = 0.007), and small external elastic membrane (EEM) area measured by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) (< 30 mm2) (2.07 [95% confidence interval 1.19-3.60]; P = 0.010). From the univariate analysis, among patients treated with DCB, younger patients (n = 141) were associated with more comorbidities including smoking (P < 0.001), diabetes mellitus (P < 0.001), end-stage renal disease (P < 0.001), history of revascularization (P = 0.046) and small EEM area (P = 0.036), compared to older patients (n = 140). Moreover, smaller post-procedural minimum lumen area measured by IVUS after DCB dilatation was observed in younger patients (12 ± 4 vs. 14 ± 4 mm2, P = 0.033). This retrospective study demonstrated that the current EVT provided an acceptable 1-year primary patency rate in patients with IAPLs. The primary patency was lower following DCB in younger patients, likely due to the higher rates of comorbidities in this patient population.
