Abstract
Background Thrombotic popliteal artery aneurysm (PAA) with acute lower limb ischemia (ALI) is a serious disease leading to amputation. The choice of emergency procedures is not clearly defined, and the difference in therapeutic efficiency between open surgery and endovascular intervention is still unclear. Method We conducted a comprehensive search through PubMed, Wiley Online Library and ScienceDirect. According to the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, eligible articles were screened out, and all relevant data were extracted for further analysis. Our study was designed and developed based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Guideline. We critically assessed all included articles by Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal Checklists and the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS). Result A total of 29 articles (1338 patients/1387 limbs) were included in the study. After a 1-year follow-up, the primary patency rate of the open surgery group was significantly lower than that of the endovascular intervention group (72.65 vs. 81.46%, P = 0.004), but without significant difference in the secondary patency rate (86.19 vs. 86.86%, P = 0.825). The limb salvage rate of the open surgery group was also significantly lower (83.07 vs. 98.25%, P < 0.001). After the 2-year follow-up, the primary patency rate of the open surgery group was still significantly lower (48.57 vs. 59.90%, P = 0.021). Conclusion The outcome of endovascular intervention was better than that of open surgery especially in the 1-year limb salvage rate and primary patency rate at the 1-year and 2-year follow-ups.

Outcomes of popliteal stent-graft placement at the artery hinge point for popliteal artery aneurysm. Ann Vasc Surg 2022; 84:270-278. [PMID: 35108552 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2022.01.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2021] [Revised: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES to assess whether stent-grafts crossing the hinge point (HP) in the popliteal artery are associated with increased complications and decreased patency rates, after endovascular treatment of the popliteal artery aneurysm. METHODS This was a single-center, case-control study. Patients were allocated to either the HP group (subjects with stent-grafts crossing the HP) or the control group (subjects with stent-grafts above and/or below the HP) based on stent-graft location in the femoropopliteal artery. HP was defined as the main curve in the popliteal artery in the most acute angle toward the femur that appeared during knee flexion, which was identified by reviewing post-operative angiograms. Independent, blinded reviews were performed for all imaging data. Graft evaluation by CTA or duplex ultrasound was performed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months and annually thereafter. Outcomes measured included: stent-graft patency, stent-graft fracture, other stent-related complications, and major adverse events, including reintervention, death, amputation, stroke, and myocardial infarction. RESULTS A total of 44 limbs treated with placement of heparin-bonded Viabahn endoprostheses were included in this study. Twenty and Twenty Four patients were allocated to the HP group and the control group, respectively. Primary patency rates of the HP group at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years were 84.1±8.4%, 84.1±8.4%, 84.1±8.4%, and 72.1±13.3%, respectively. The primary patency rates of the control group were 87.0±7.0%, 82.4±8.0%, 82.4±8.0%, and 82.4±8.0%, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P=0.81). No reintervention was performed in the control group. In the HP group, 5 limbs (25.0%) developed endoleak, 3 (15.0%) developed thrombosis, and one (5.0%) developed a stent fracture followed by thrombosis. Thrombosis occurred in 2 limbs (8.3%) of the control group, and stent-graft migration was observed in another 2 cases (8.3%). Neither group demonstrated stent-graft infection or acute popliteal artery embolism. Overall, incidence of stent-related complications were significantly higher in the HP group (P=0.04). Event-free survival rates of the HP group at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years were 75.0±9.7%, 69.6±10.4%, 61.9±11.8%, and 29.0±12.8%, respectively. Corresponding rates in the control group were 79.2±8.3%, 79.2±8.3%, 79.2±8.3%, and 79.2±8.3%, respectively. The difference was not statistically significant between the two groups (P=0.20) CONCLUSIONS: crossing the HP with femoropopliteal artery stent-grafts increased the risk of stent-related complications and reinterventions but did not decrease stent patency or event-free survival.
