Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this project is to explore practice patterns of experienced vascular specialists involved in the treatment of patients with arterial femoro-popliteal in-stent occlusion (ISO) and to understand key concepts and shared thoughts, throughout an international cross-sectional survey. MATERIALS AND METHODS The web-based survey was in English and included 31 questions. One-hundred experts were invited by email to fill in the survey anonymously on Google Forms using a dedicated link. Reminders were sent after the first 2 weeks. In addition to reporting of pooled responses, subanalyses of answers were also performed, according to country of origin (European vs non-European), years of experience (≤20 years vs >20 years), and type of institution (Academic/University vs Non-academic/Private). RESULTS A total of 77 physicians from 22 countries completed the survey. Most responders were males (70/77, 91%). Most of the participants were vascular surgeons (58/77, 75%). Endovascular therapy was the preferred option in patients presenting with either acute limb ischemia, disabling intermittent claudication, or chronic limb-threatening ischemia. Atherectomy/thrombectomy+Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) was the preferred endovascular modality (32/77, 42%). No differences between country of origin, years of experience, and type of institution of the participants were found. CONCLUSIONS The international SUrvey oN TReatment Of Occluded Femoro-Popliteal Stent (SUNROOF) survey has suggested that endovascular therapy is the preferred method for the treatment of femoro-popliteal ISO. This survey could represent a good starting point for future research on comparison between open and endovascular approach and different devices, which currently lacks good-level scientific evidence and appropriate guidelines. CLINICAL IMPACT The international SUNROOF survey included 31 questions. It was performed by 77 vascular physicians from 22 countries. More than a half of respondents considered an endovascular approach as the preferred treatment modality in acute limb ischemia, disabling intermittent claudication, or chronic limb-threatening ischemia. Most responders agreed they would intensify the follow-up protocol and anti-thrombotic medications regimen after a first in-stent occlusion episode. This survey could represent a good starting point for future research on comparison between open and endovascular approach and different devices, which currently lacks of good level scientific evidence and appropriate guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite improved patency with newer-generation nitinol stents, one-half of patients will require secondary interventions for in-stent restenosis (ISR). The best treatment strategy remains unclear. This study aimed to compare drug-coated balloons (DCBs) used alone or in association with excimer laser atherectomy (ELA) to simple percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in the treatment of femoropopliteal-ISR. METHODS The INTACT trial is a multicenter, prospective, triple-arm randomized trial conducted across 14 centers from December 2015 to November 2019. Patients Rutherford Class 2-5 with ISR≥70% were followed-up for 18 months. The primary efficacy endpoint was recurrent ISR>70% by duplex ultrasound analysis. The primary safety endpoint was major adverse events (MAEs) defined as death, major amputation, or target lesion revascularization (TLR). RESULTS Around 134 subjects were randomized to PTA alone (n=41), PTA+DCB (n=43) or PTA+ELA+DCB (n=50). Procedural success was similar (p=.74), as was clinical success (p=.17). The number of recurrent ISR>70% decreased after PTA+ELA+DCB (30.0%; p=.04) and PTA+DCB (30.2%; p=.05) compared to PTA alone (51.2%). Primary patency was higher after PTA+ELA+DCB (log-rank p=.04) and PTA+DCB (log-rank p=.02) compared to PTA alone at 12 months (78.7% and 70.4% vs 61.5%) and 18 months (61.6% and 67.7% vs 37.3%). Freedom from MAEs was lower after PTA+DCB (27.9%) compared to PTA alone (53.7%; p=.02) but did not differ with PTA+ELA+DCB (40.0%). It was primarily driven by TLR; 2 major amputations occurred after PTA+ELA+DCB (4.0%; p=.18). CONCLUSION This independent study demonstrated a decrease in recurrent ISR>70% and increase in primary patency up to 18 months after PTA+ELA+DCB and PTA+DCB compared to PTA alone in the treatment of FP-ISR. It did not show an increase in MAEs but could have lacked power. CLINICAL IMPACT This multicenter, prospective, triple-arm randomized, controlled trial focuses on the results of adjunctive therapies, such as excimer laser atherectomy (ELA) and/or drug-coated balloons (DCBs) in the treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) in femoropopliteal lesions in 134 patients. It has the originality of being an independent study funded by a grant from the French Ministry of Health. This study confirms a significant decrease in recurrent ISR >70% and increase in primary patency up to 18 months after the use of ELA+DCB and DCBs compared to simple percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in the treatment of femoropopliteal ISR without an increase in major adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This retrospective multicenter study aimed to compare the midterm results of the Rotarex rotational thrombectomy device combined with drug-coated balloon (DCB) and DCB-alone for the treatment of subacute femoropopliteal artery thrombotic occlusion. METHODS All patients (74, aged 70.1 ± 9.3 years) were nonrandomized and divided into 2 groups based on treatment strategy between 2018 and 2020. Intraoperative technical success (defined as <30% residual stenosis), dissection types and bailout-stenting rates were assessed. Ankle-brachial index (ABI), primary patency (PP, restenosis <50%) and freedom from clinically driven target lesion reintervention (CD-TLR) were documented at follow-up. RESULTS Among them, 35 patients were treated with the Rotarex catheter combined with DCB while 39 patients underwent DCB-alone. The-overall technical success rate was 100%. Patients in the Rotarex + DCB group showed lower rate of bailout stenting than those in the DCB alone group (22.9% vs. 59.0%; P = 0.01). ABI at discharge was significantly higher in both groups. Mean follow-up time was 18.5 ± 3.4 months; 62 patients completed Doppler ultrasound investigation while 12 patients were censored. According to Kaplan-Meier analysis, the estimated PP was 82.0 ± 6.7% in the Rotarex + DCB group, whereas a significantly lower rate in the DCB alone group (60.9 ± 8.3%, P = 0.04). In addition, the freedom from CD-TLR rate was 82.9 ± 6.4% in the Rotarex + DCB group and 61.5 ± 7.8% in the DCB-alone group (P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS These initial data indicate that the Rotarex thrombectomy device combined with DCB is an effective choice for the treatment of subacute femoropopliteal artery thrombotic occlusion compared to DCB-alone. The combined procedure had superior midterm results.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the safety and efficacy of rotational thrombectomy (RT) in a large single-center real-world cohort for total vascular occlusions of the lower extremity.
Materials and Methods The clinical records and images of all patients between 2010 and 2020 treated via RT (Rotarex, BD) were assessed. Patient demographics, clinical data, procedural characteristics, and outcome parameters were documented. In total, 397 procedures in 293 patients were included (mean age 69.8 ± 12.0 years; 64.8 % male). Occlusions were acute (47.5 %), subacute and acute-on-chronic (22.2 %), and chronic (30.3 %). The target lesions were the iliac artery (7.1 %), iliac/femoropopliteal (5.0 %), femoropopliteal (59.4 %), femoropopliteal/below-the-knee (27.0 %), below-the-knee (1.5 %), and after bypass surgery (14.9 %). Lesion length was > 20 cm in 61.5 % of cases.
Results Clinically successful revascularization was achieved in 90.4 % of cases. Additional thrombolysis was necessary for 32.0 % of procedures. The arithmetic mean ankle-brachial index increased from 0.33 ± 0.29 to 0.81 ± 0.25 (p < 0.0001). Bypass grafts were less likely to be fully treatable and required additional lysis (p < 0.001). The overall primary patency (no clinically driven target lesion revascularization) was 93.2 %, 88.8 %, 79.1 %, and 72.4 % at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively. Adverse events occurred in 46.1 % of cases, of which peripheral embolization (22.4 %) was most frequent, requiring interventional treatment in 67.4 % of cases. RT was directly associated with 7.1 % (n = 28) of complications, which consisted of perforations 2.8 %, arteriovenous fistula 1.3 %, and dissections 2.0 %.
Conclusion Rotational thrombectomy is a safe and efficient method for the treatment of occlusions of the arterial circulation of the lower extremity with bypass occlusions having a higher propensity for residual thrombi requiring further lysis therapy.

Abstract
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is an increasingly pathological condition that commonly affects the femoropopliteal arteries. The current fashionable treatment is percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), often with stenting. However, the in-stent restenosis (ISR) rate after the stenting of the femoropopliteal (FP) district remains high. Many techniques have been proposed for the treatment of femoropopliteal ISR, such as intravascular brachytherapy, laser atherectomy, second stenting and drug-coated balloons angioplasty (DCB). DCB showed a significantly lower rate of restenosis and target lesions revascularization (TLR) compared to conventional PTA. However, further studies and multi-center RCTs with dedicated long-term follow-up are needed to verify the true efficiency of this approach. Nowadays, the correlation between PAD and inflammation biomarkers is well known. Multiple studies have shown that proinflammatory markers (such as C-reactive proteins) and the high plasma levels of microRNA could predict the outcomes after stent placement. In particular, circulating microRNA-320a, microRNA-3937, microRNA-642a-3p and microRNA-572 appear to hold promise in diagnosing ISR in patients with PAD, but also as predictors of stent patency. This narrative review intends to summarize the current knowledge on the value of circulating biomarkers as predictors of ISR and to foster the scientific debate on the advantages of using DCB in the treatment of ISR in the FP district.

Abstract
Endovascular treatment of peripheral arterial disease has evolved and expanded rapidly over the last 20 years. New technologies have increased the diversity of devices available and have made it possible to approach even the most challenging and high-risk lesions using endovascular techniques. In this review, we examine the clinical evidence available for several categories of endovascular devices available to treat peripheral arterial disease, including intravascular lithotripsy, atherectomy, and drug-coated devices. The best application for some technologies, such as intravascular lithotripsy and atherectomies, have yet to be identified. In contrast, drug-coated devices have an established role in patients at high risk for long-term failure, but have been the subject of much controversy, given recent concerns about possible adverse effects of paclitaxel. Future investigation should further assess these technologies in patients with complex disease using updated staging systems and outcomes with direct clinical relevance, such as functional improvement, wound healing, and freedom from recurrent symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, there is little information on the optimal treatment for patients with femoropopliteal total in-stent occlusion.The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit of drug-coated balloon(DCB) angioplasty after RotarexⓇS rotational atherectomy plus thrombectomy for femoropopliteal total in-stent occlusion at 12 months. METHODS From June 2016 to April 2019, 36 patients (21 male, mean age 71.1 ± 8.2 years) with femoropopliteal total in-stent occlusion were treated using Rotarex S rotational atherectomy plus thrombectomy in combination with DCB angioplasty and 29 (18 male, meanage68.8 ± 7.2 years) underwent DCB angioplasty alone. Primary patency and freedom from target lesion revascularization (TLR) rates during12 months of follow-up were retrospectively compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS Procedural success was achieved in all patients. There were no procedure-related adverse events. The mean lesion length was 26.1 ± 6.5 cm in the combination therapy group and 25.5 ± 6.1 cm in the DCB only group (P = 0.703). The 6-month and 12-month primary patency rates were significantly higher in the combination therapy group (94.4% [standard error, 0.038] and 77.8% [0.069], respectively) than in the DCB only group (72.4% [0.083] and 48.3% [0.093]; P = 0.010). The freedom from TLR rate at 12 months was 86.1% (standard error, 0.060) in the combination therapy group and 62.1% (0.096) in the DCB only group (P = 0.016). Three patients (combination therapy, n = 2; DCB only, n = 1) developed distal embolization and were treated successfully by additional 6-F guiding catheter aspiration. No deaths or amputations occurred in either group during 12 months of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Rotarex S rotational atherectomy plus thrombectomyin combination with DCB was safe and effective in patients with femoropopliteal total in-stent occlusion during12 months of follow-up.

Abstract
Background: Studies investigating debulking devices with drug-coated balloons (DCBs) in the treatment of femoropopliteal (FP) artery in-stent restenosis (ISR) are limited. We aimed to evaluate the safety and midterm outcome of percutaneous mechanical atherectomy plus thrombectomy (MATH) using the Rotarex®S (Straub Medical, Wangs, Switzerland) catheter followed by a DCB in the treatment of FP-ISR. Methods: This study was a single-center single-arm trial. Patients with symptomatic (Rutherford category 2–5) de novo restenosis lesions of FP-ISR were treated with MATH and subsequent DCB. From June 2016 to May 2018, 59 patients with FP-ISR were enrolled. The primary endpoint was target lesion revascularization (TLR) and changes in the Rutherford category of the target limb at 12 months. Secondary endpoints included primary and secondary patency at 12 months, technical success rate, major adverse events, and ankle-brachial index (ABI). Risk factors for TLR were analyzed using Cox proportional hazard model. Results: The average follow-up time was 33 ± 8 months. The rate of technical success was 88.1% (52/59). Nine patients received bailout stenting. The rate of freedom from TLR was 84.7% (50/59) at 1 year, the Rutherford category changed at 12 months were significantly improved from baseline (p < 0.01). The primary patency rates and the secondary patency at the 12-month follow-ups were 82.5 and 92.5%, respectively. The ABI changed at 12 months were significantly improved from baseline (p < 0.01). Global limb anatomic staging system (GLASS) classification III [hazard ratio (HR) 18.44, 95% CI (1.57–215.99), p = 0.020] and postoperative Rutherford classification ≥4 [HR 8.28, 95% CI (1.85–37.06), p = 0.006] were identified as independent predictors of TLR. Conclusion: Our preliminary data suggested that MATH using a Rotarex®S catheter combined with DCB angioplasty is a safe, minimally invasive, and effective treatment for FP-ISR with favorable, immediate, and midterm outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This retrospective single-center study aimed to analyze immediate and follow-up results of using drug-coated balloons (DCBs) for treating peripheral arterial disease. METHODS In this study, we identified a total of 75 patients who underwent DCB therapy at our institution. The ankle-brachial index (ABI) was measured before and after intervention. Intermittent claudication and whether there was healing of ulcers were determined by telephone. RESULTS The cohort consisted of 56 men and 19 women aged 38 to 87 years (68 ± 12 years). Twenty-three patients had Rutherford grade III, 15 had Rutherford grade IV, and 37 had Rutherford grade V. Seventeen patients had stents and 18 had the Rotarex system used. The postoperative ABI was significantly greater than the preoperative ABI (0.911 ± 0.173 vs 0.686 ± 0.249). Good results for treatment were obtained. Intermittent claudication and rest pain did not occur in subjects with Rutherford grades III and IV during follow-up. The amputation rate was 4.1% among all patients using DCB therapy during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS DCB therapy is safe and effective for treating peripheral arterial disease in real-world patients. Future prospective studies on this issue are recommended.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to examine lesion characteristics influencing technical outcome and periprocedural peripheral embolization (PPE) during percutaneous mechanical rotational thrombectomy (PMT) of long femoropopliteal artery and bypass occlusions. METHODS Retrospectively, 65 consecutive patients (43 male patients, mean age 70±12 years; Rutherford category I-III), undergoing PMT (Rotarex®, Straub Medical AG) with acutely/subacutely occluded femoropopliteal arteries/bypasses were included. Occlusions (mean length, 217±98 mm) were treated by PMT followed by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) plus drug-coated balloon or PTA plus stenting/stentgrafting. Technical success was defined as residual stenosis <30%. Follow-up included duplex ultrasound and ankle-brachial index (ABI) after 12 months. Endpoints were technical success, complications, improvement of Rutherford category, ABI, and patency (re-stenosis <50%). The influence of lesion length, duration, and thrombus density (measured in preinterventional computed tomography angiography) on technical success and PPE was analyzed. RESULTS Technical success was 18% (12/65) after PMT alone, 92% (60/65) after additional means. Four patients (6%) underwent bypass surgery and one patient (2%) amputation. PPE occurred in 11% (7/65). During the 12-month follow-up, three patients (5%) were lost to follow-up. ABI increased from baseline 0.5±0.12 to 0.81±0.14 (p = 0.001) and Rutherford category increased by at least one level in 57 patients at 12-month follow-up (clinical success, 88%). At 12 months, primary patency was 57.4% (95% CI, 45.8%-68.9%) and secondary patency was 75.0% (95% CI, 59.8%-72.3%). As risk factors for PPE, we identified lesion length >200 mm (15%; 6/39; OR 4.5; 95% CI, 0.5-40; p = 0.014) and thrombus density ≤45 HU (20%; 2/10; OR 3.0; 95% CI, 0.2-38.9; p = 0.05). No significant relation between risk factors and technical success was found. CONCLUSION PMT followed by PTA or implantation of stent (grafts) appears to be effective and safe for revascularization of acute/subacute long occlusions. Thrombus density <45 HU and lesion length above 20 cm represent risk factors for PPE during PMT.

Percutaneous Rotational Mechanical Atherectomy Plus Thrombectomy Using Rotarex S Device in Patients With Acute and Subacute Lower Limb Ischemia: A Review of Safety, Efficacy, and Outcomes. Front Cardiovasc Med 2020; 7:557420.

Abstract
Acute and subacute ischemia of lower limbs is associated with high risk of amputation and potential severe life-threatening complications. Despite a lack of clear therapeutic recommendations, surgical treatments such as thrombectomy or bypass and/or catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) have been first-line procedures in both acute and subacute limb ischemia, but each therapy may lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Such situations demand fast restoration of appropriate flow to preclude limb loss and other complications. Percutaneous mechanical atherectomy plus thrombectomy (MATH) represents a minimally invasive approach for quickly recanalizing thrombus-containing lesions whatever the age of thrombus. Indeed, many chronic patients can present with critical limb ischemia, with thrombus-containing occlusive lesions triggered by underlying atherosclerotic disease. MATH offers various advantages over surgery and CDT, with lower invasiveness, faster recanalization, and the possibility to immediately treat the underlying lesions, with a lower rate of bleeding complications and no need for intensive care unit stay. Currently, several mechanical thrombectomy devices are offered as an alternative therapy and can be divided into pure rotational MATH systems and rheolytic thrombectomy devices. The only pure rotational MATH device currently available on the market is the Rotarex S device. We aimed to review contemporary clinical data regarding the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of MATH therapy using Rotarex S catheter in acute and subacute thrombus-containing arterial lesions of lower limbs. Future perspectives of Rotarex S MATH treatment and cost-effectiveness of its routine use will be also discussed.

Abstract
Background To ascertain the safety and mid-term outcomes of Rotarex®S rotational atherectomy plus thrombectomy device (Straub Medical AG, Wangs, Switzerland) with or without adjunctive treatment (e.g., percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, PTA/drug-coated balloon, DCB/stenting) in patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR) or occlusion in the iliac and/or infrainguinal arteries. Methods French multicenter retrospective study of all patients treated by in-stent percutaneous mechanical debulking (PMD) of the lower limbs with Rotarex®S device between January 2013 and November 2018. Results The cohort consisted of 128 patients (88 men and 40 women), aged 39-94 years (mean, 66.7±12 years). All patients presented with cardio-vascular risk factors. Overall, 51.5% of patients had critical limb ischemia. The study demonstrated a technical success of 96.9% in the population with PMD and adjunctive PTA (95/128, 74.2%) or adjunctive DCB (16/128, 12.5%) or both (13/128, 10.2%). At 12-months follow-up, the primary clinical success/patency rate was 92.3% and the secondary clinical success/patency rate was 91.4%. Rate of limb salvage was 93.7%. Overall 32 (25%) reinterventions were reported with mean time from Rotarex®S treatment to reintervention of 7.1±8.2 months. Target lesion revascularization (TLR) was 19.5% (25/128). Seven (5.5%) patients developed distal embolism that responded to endovascular treatment. At mean follow-up, major adverse events (MAE) observed were death (18/128, 14.1%), myocardial infarction (MI) (9/128, 7.0%), stroke (2/128, 1.6%) and renal failure (3/128, 2.3%). Conclusions Recanalization with Rotarex®S rotational atherectomy plus thrombectomy device is a practical choice for arterial ISR/occlusions of the iliac and/or infrainguinal arteries, regardless of the age of the thrombus, with satisfying TLR. Only adjunctive PTA is often necessary to further improve the recanalization.
