Abstract
OBJECTIVE Preventing untimely death in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) requires a detailed understanding of the predominant causes of death (COD). This literature review aims to describe how short- and long-term COD are reported in patients who had surgery for PAD. METHODS A literature review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines for articles reporting specific causes of mortality in patients who had surgery for all stages of PAD. Articles were included if they reported COD after open surgical or endovascular revascularisation, or major or minor amputation for PAD. Critical appraisals were conducted according to included study types, using the Joanna Briggs Institute tools. RESULTS Cause of death was reported in 21 publications. Twenty were observational and one was a randomised control trial. Study size ranged from 25 to 10,505 patients. Cardiovascular disease was the most prevalent COD in perioperative periods (42.5% from 13 studies). Long-term follow-up ranged from 1 month and 7 years with 15 studies reporting cardiac related mortality as the most frequent cause of death. However, mortality from neoplasia, respiratory disease (including pneumonia and pulmonary emboli), stroke and sepsis were prevalent. Many studies were low-average quality, with few population-based observational studies. CONCLUSION Whilst cardiovascular COD are the most prevalent reasons for mortality in patients with PAD, the proportion of patients dying from neoplasia and respiratory disease is high. Improved reporting standards for COD in studies examining PAD are needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Indications for endovascular treatment of femoropopliteal (FP) lesions have steadily increased over the past decade. Accordingly, the number of devices has also increased but the choice of the best endovascular treatment remains to be defined. The aim of this meta-analysis was to summarize all studies investigating endovascular treatment of FP lesions greater than 150 mm from 2010 to 2021. METHODS Articles were searched using PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane. Included studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cohort studies, and case series (prospective and retrospective) that evaluated any endovascular procedure in patients with long FP lesions classified TASC (Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus document II on management of peripheral arterial disease) C and/or D, and a mean length >150 mm, primary outcome had to be the 1-year primary patency. Overall estimate of primary patency, secondary patency, and freedom from target lesion revascularization (TLR) at 1 year depending on the different devices were investigated. The meta-analysis was conducted following the requirements of the MOOSE (Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) checklist. RESULTS Forty-four papers comprising 4847 patients and 5282 treated limbs were included. Mean lesions length ranged from 150.5 to 330 mm. The pooled 1-year primary and secondary patencies, and freedom from TLR rates were 0.71 (95% CI: 0.67-0.74), 0.87 (95% CI: 0.83-0.91), and 0.79 (95% CI: 0.74-0.84), respectively. Primary permeability at 1 year were 0.68 (95% CI: 0.62-0.73), 0.67 (95% CI: 0.60-0.74), 0.74 (95% CI: 0.64-0.84), and 0.83 (95% CI: 0.78-0.88) for bare metal stents, covered stents (CSs), drug-eluting stents, and drug-coated balloons (DCBs), respectively. Lesions treated with DCB had the highest 1-year primary patency rate. CONCLUSIONS At 1-year, endovascular procedures for FP lesions greater than 150 mm obtain satisfactory results. High primary patency rates were obtained with drug-coated devices, while CSs obtained less favorable results. Randomized studies comparing different devices in the treatment of long FP lesions remain necessary to determine the most optimal approach for the management of these patients. CLINICAL IMPACT This paper highlights on the one hand the satisfactory results of endovascular treatment on complex femoropopliteal lesions formerly reserved for conventional surgery. On the other hand, among the available devices, paclitaxel-eluting devices seem to show superior results which should make them recommended as first-line treatment.

JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2023; 16:1065-1078. [PMID: 37164605 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcin.2023.03.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term data on drug-coated balloon (DCB) outcomes in complex femoropopliteal atherosclerotic lesions are limited. OBJECTIVES The authors sought to report 5-year safety and effectiveness outcomes of a paclitaxel DCB for the treatment of de novo in-stent restenosis (ISR), long lesions (LL), or chronic total occlusions (CTOs) in the prespecified imaging cohorts of the IN.PACT Global Study. METHODS The IN.PACT Global study was a prospective, international single-arm study. Assessments through 5 years included freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR), a safety composite (freedom from device- and procedure-related death to 30 days, and freedom from major target limb amputation and freedom from clinically driven target vessel revascularization within 60 months), and major adverse events. RESULTS The prespecified imaging cohorts enrolled 132 de novo ISR, 158 LL, and 127 CTO participants. Kaplan-Meier estimates of freedom from CD-TLR through 5 years were 58.0% (ISR), 67.3% (LL), and 69.8% (CTO). The cumulative incidences of the composite safety endpoint were 56.0% (ISR), 65.7% (LL), and 69.8% (CTO). The 5-year freedom from all-cause mortality with vital status update were 81.4% (ISR), 75.2% (LL), and 78.2% (CTO). Within the ISR cohort, 15.9% of participants experienced 2 or more TLRs, compared with 9.5% and 5.5% in the LL and CTO groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Results demonstrate long-term safety and effectiveness of this DCB in all 3 cohorts, with low reintervention rates in the LL and CTO cohorts and no safety issues. These results support the inclusion of this DCB into the treatment algorithm for complex femoropopliteal disease.

Long-Term Results of Endovascular Treatment with Nitinol Stents for Femoropopliteal TASC II C and D Lesions. Medicina (B Aires) 2022; 58:medicina58091225. [PMID: 36143902 PMCID: PMC9500608 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58091225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Revised: 08/21/2022] [Accepted: 09/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Objectives: The feasibility of endovascular treatment (EVT) for Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) II C and D femoropopliteal artery lesions has been described, but no prospective study has performed a long-term follow-up. The aim of this study was to report the long-term results of nitinol stents (NS) for the treatment of long femoropopliteal lesions. Materials and Methods: A single-center prospective, randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing EVT with NS and vein bypass surgery was previously performed. The EVT group’s follow-up was extended and separately analyzed with primary patency as the primary endpoint. The secondary endpoints were technical success, secondary patency, reinterventions, limb salvage, survival, complications, and clinical improvement. Results: Between 2016 and 2020, 109 limbs in 103 patients were included. A total of 48 TASC II C and 61 TASC II D lesions with a mean lesion length of 264 mm were reported. In 53% of limbs, the indication for treatment was chronic limb-threatening ischemia. The median follow-up was 45 months. Technical success was achieved in 88% of cases, despite 23% of the lesions being longer than 30 cm (retrograde popliteal access in 22%). At four-year follow-up, primary patency, secondary patency, and freedom from target lesion revascularizations were 35%, 48%, and 58%, respectively. Limb salvage and survival were 90% and 80% at 4 years. Clinical improvement of at least one Rutherford category at the end of follow-up was achieved in 83% of limbs. Conclusions: This study reports the longest follow-up of endovascular treatment with nitinol stents in femoropopliteal TASC II C and D lesions. The results emphasize the feasibility of an endovascular-first strategy, even in lesions beyond 30 cm in length, and clarify its acceptable long-term durability and good clinical outcomes. Large multicenter RCTs with mid- and long-term follow-up are needed to investigate the role of different endovascular techniques in long femoropopliteal lesions.

A Propensity-Matched Analysis of Endovascular Intervention versus Open Nonautologous Bypass as Initial Therapy in Patients with Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia. Ann Vasc Surg 2021; 75:194-204. [PMID: 33819581 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2021.02.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2020] [Revised: 02/03/2021] [Accepted: 02/15/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Endovascular therapies are increasingly used in patients with complex multilevel disease and chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). Infrageniculate bypass with autologous vein conduit is considered the gold standard in these patients. However, many patients often lack optimal saphenous vein, leading to the use of nonautologous prosthetic conduit. We compared limb salvage and survival rates for patients with CLTI undergoing first time revascularization with either open nonautologous conduit or endovascular intervention. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients undergoing first time endovascular or open surgical revascularization at our institution between 2009 and 2016. Patients were divided into endovascular intervention or open bypass with nonautologous conduit (NAC) cohorts. Primary endpoints were amputation-free survival (AFS), freedom from reintervention, primary patency, and overall survival. Propensity scoring was used to construct matched cohorts. Outcomes were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier and Cox Proportional Hazards models. RESULTS A total of 125 revascularizations were identified. There were 65 endovascular interventions and 60 NAC bypasses. In unmatched analysis, there was an elevated risk of perioperative MI (7% vs. 0%, P = 0.05) and amputation (10% vs. 2%, P = 0.04) for the NAC groups compared to the endovascular group. In matched analysis, endovascular patients had a lower incidence of 30-day amputation (1.5% vs. 10% P = 0.04) and length of stay (median days, 1 vs. 9, P < 0.01) compared to the open cohort. While not statistically significant, the endovascular group trended towards increased rates of two-year AFS (76% vs. 65%, P = 0.07) compared to the NAC group. There was no significant difference in overall survival when the endovascular cohort was compared to NAC (85% vs. 77%, P = 0.29) patients. In matched Cox analysis, nonautologous conduit use was associated with an increased risk of limb loss (HR 2.03, 95% CI 0.94-4.38, P = 0.07) compared to endovascular revascularization. CONCLUSIONS An "endovascular first" approach offers favorable perioperative outcomes and comparable AFS compared to NAC and may be preferable when autologous conduit is unavailable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report own experience of endovascular interventions in patients with extended occlusive lesion (TASC II D) of the femoral-popliteal and tibial arteries and concomitant purulent-necrotic wounds. MATERIAL AND METHODS We have analyzed literature data and own experience of endovascular interventions in patients with extended occlusive lesion (TASC II D) of the femoral-popliteal and tibial arteries and concomitant purulent-necrotic wounds. RESULTS Endovascular strategy is preferable in a certain subgroup of patients with extended infrainguinal lesions. CONCLUSION Considering own data, we assumed the need for routine correction of outflow pathways (simultaneous angioplasty of at least 2 tibial arteries). Primary results are encouraging, but further research is required.

Abstract
PURPOSE Advancements in the endovascular treatment of femoropopliteal atherosclerotic lesions have led to treatment of more complex lesions, particularly long lesions. The aim of this study was to determine the meta-analytic primary patency and need for re-intervention among patients treated for very long lesions (>200 mm) at the femoropopliteal segment and to identify potential risk factors for loss of patency. METHODS This study was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. A random effects model meta-analysis was conducted, and the I-square was used to assess heterogeneity. RESULTS Fifty-one studies comprised of 3029 patients were included. The mean lesion length was 269 mm. The primary patency rate at 30 days, 6 m, 1-, 2- and 5-years of follow-up was 98%, 76%, 62%, 55%, and 39% respectively. The incidence of TLR was 16% at one year and 32% at two years. The secondary patency rate at 1, 2, 3 and 5 years was 85%, 71%, 64%, and 64% respectively. Heparin bonded ePTFE covered stents (69%) and paclitaxel eluting stents (73%) demonstrated higher 1-year primary patency rates than self-expanding nitinol stents (55%) or uncoated percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with provisional stenting (54%). Lesions treated with a heparin bonded ePTFE covered stent had statistically significant higher odds of remaining patent at 1-year of follow-up (OR: 2.74; 95%CI: 1.63-4.61; p < 0.001) than lesions treated with BMS or PTA. Patients with long femoropopliteal lesions causing critical limb ischemia (CLI) developed restenosis or occlusion more often than patients treated for claudication (HR: 1.63; 95%CI: 1.06-2.49; p = 0.026) during an average follow-up of 26 months. CONCLUSION Primary stenting of femoropopliteal TASC D lesions using drug eluting stents or covered stents results in sustained patency over time. PTA or uncoated nitinol stents demonstrated lower patency rates. However, additional comparative studies are needed to determine the efficacy of newer technologies for the treatment of complex femoropopliteal lesions and provide evidence for the most optimal treatment approach.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of the Misago peripheral stent trial (Terumo) for atherosclerotic lesions in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) in patients with claudication. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective multicenter, single-arm, clinical trial of primary stent placement for de novo cases of SFA disease conducted in the United States and Asia. The primary endpoint was freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) at 36 months. Secondary outcomes were ankle-brachial index (ABI), Rutherford score, Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ), a quality of life survey, and rate of device fracture. RESULTS A total of 276 patients (64.4% male; mean age, 69.3 ± 10.1 years) were enrolled. Freedom from CD-TLR was 78.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 73.0%-83.0%) at 24 months and 75.4% (95% CI, 69.6%-80.2%) at 36 months. Baseline ABI was 0.7 ± 0.1 and 0.98 ± 0.20 (P < .001) at 30 days after the procedure. Baseline Rutherford score was 3.6 ± 0.6 and 1.6 ± 1.0 30 at 30 days after the procedure (P < .001). Mean (and changed) ABI and Rutherford score at 36 months compared to day 30 after the procedure were, respectively, 0.91 (-0.1 ± 0.2) and 1.5 (-0.2 ± 1.1). WIQ score at baseline was 21.49 ± 26.30 and 50.51 ± 38.49 at 30 days after the procedure ( P < .001). The mean WIQ score at 2 years was 46.65 ± 37.31 (P = .12). Stent fracture rate at 36 months was 2.0% (4 of 202 patients). CONCLUSIONS OSPREY (Occlusive-Stenotic Peripheral Artery Revascularization Study) 36-month data demonstrated persistent freedom from CD-TLR and sustained improvement in ABI and Rutherford score with primary stent placement for SFA lesions.

Ann Vasc Surg 2020; 67:437-447. [PMID: 32234573 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2020.03.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2019] [Revised: 03/09/2020] [Accepted: 03/13/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of the study was to compare bypass surgery and endovascular revascularization of the femoropopliteal segment in patients with peripheral arterial disease and critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). METHODS This is a single-center study including patients undergoing first-time lower extremity intervention with peripheral bypass surgery or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with or without stenting (PTA/S) of the femoropopliteal segment because of CLTI from 2011 to 2015. Based on prospective entered data from the Danish Vascular Registry, the primary end points were amputation-free survival, overall mortality, and reinterventions. RESULTS A total of 679 patients with CLTI were included of which 35% (n = 239) were treated with PTA/S, 54% (n = 363) with vein bypass, and 11% (n = 77) with synthetic bypass. After 3 years, amputation-free survival was significantly better with a vein bypass (41.8% [95% CI: 35-48.4]) than both PTA/S (29.7% (95% CI: 22.7-37)) and synthetic bypass (31.7% [95% CI: 19-45.1]). Overall, the endovascular-treated patients faced more than 50% increased risk of major amputation or death than that of a vein bypass, after adjusting for comorbidity and Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) classification (HR: 1.56 [95% CI: 1.21-2.05]). As expected, postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and reinterventions were more frequent in the bypass groups. CONCLUSIONS In this nonrandomized study, autologous vein bypass was superior to both PTA/S and synthetic bypass in regard to amputation-free survival and overall mortality. Despite the increased frequency of surgical complications, a vein bypass appears justified in both shorter (TASC B-C) and longer (TASC D) femoropopliteal lesions.

Abstract
Peripheral artery disease (PAD), secondary to atherosclerotic disease, is currently the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the western world. While PAD is common, it is estimated that the majority of patients with PAD are undiagnosed and undertreated. The challenge to the treatment of PAD is to accurately diagnose the symptoms and determine treatment for each patient. The varied presentations of peripheral vascular disease have led to numerous classification schemes throughout the literature. Consistent grading of patients leads to both objective criteria for treating patients and a baseline for clinical follow-up. Reproducible classification systems are also important in clinical trials and when comparing medical, surgical, and endovascular treatment paradigms. This article reviews the various classification systems for PAD and advantages to each system.
