Arterial Blood Flow and Effects on Limb Tissue Perfusion During Endoshunting of the Common Iliac Artery in an Experimental Porcine Model. EJVES Vasc Forum 2024; 61:54-61. [PMID: 38375024 PMCID: PMC10875111 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejvsvf.2024.01.053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Temporary arterial shunting is an established method to prevent tissue ischaemia. Although less well established, shunting might also be achieved through endovascular and hybrid techniques, known as endoshunting. Endoshunting offers advantages, for example, enabling minimally invasive access and avoiding complete occlusion of the donor artery. In an ex vivo bench test, volume flow in various interconnected endoshunt systems has been tested previously. This study aimed to investigate the capacity of the best performing endoshunt system in vivo. Methods Six anaesthetised pigs had their common iliac arteries (CIAs) explored, with the left CIA serving as the experimental and the right CIA as the control. Mean arterial pressure, regional blood flow, endoshunt flow, and regional oxygen extraction and lactate production were recorded. Distal muscle perfusion was monitored using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Each experiment involved baseline registration, cross clamping of the left CIA, a 120 minute endoshunt session, and restoration of native flow. Results During cross clamping, NIRS values on the experimental side reached the lowest measurable value. Following endoshunt activation, there were no NIRS value differences between the experimental and control extremities whereas the average arterial flow decreased in both the experimental (270-140 mL/min, p = .028) and control extremities (245-190 mL/min, p = .25), with a greater drop on the endoshunted side (48% vs. 22%, respectively). Lactate levels temporarily increased by 42% in the endoshunted limb on endoshunt activation but were normalised within an hour. Oxygen extraction remained constant at 55% on the control side but increased to 70% on the endoshunted side (p = .068). Conclusion In this animal model, a flow optimised endoshunt system appeared to provide sufficient blood flow and restored stable tissue perfusion. Although arterial flow was slightly lower and oxygen extraction slightly higher on the endoshunted side, the endoshunt seemed to deliver adequate perfusion to prevent significant ischaemia.

Abstract
In patients with atherosclerotic disease in two of the three main vessels in the splanchnic circulation, symptoms of chronic mesenteric ischemia may arise, depending on the disease chronicity and the presence of mesenteric collateral pathways. The most commonly described collateral pathways are between the celiac artery (CA), superior mesenteric artery (SMA), and inferior mesenteric artery (IMA); and between the IMA and the internal iliac artery (IIA). Another collateral network between the deep femoral artery and the IIA can also become important, especially in patients with aorto-iliac occlusion. Here we report a patient with a symptomatic anastomotic aneurysm of the right femoral artery after a previous aorto-bi-femoral bypass. This patient's bowel viability relied on a well-developed collateral network from the ipsilateral deep femoral artery. This unusual anatomy required special surgical considerations and planning, to minimize the risk of perioperative mesenteric ischemia. During open repair, distal femoral debranching with a distal-to-proximal anastomotic sequence allowed minimizing of the ischemic time, and avoidance of potential ischemic complications from the visceral circulation. This case emphasizes the importance and benefit of the deep femoral artery and its collaterals as a reserve network of the splanchnic circulation. Favorable outcomes can be achieved with careful analysis of the preoperative imaging and proper planning, with adaptation of the surgical strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute arterial occlusion of the lower extremity is a time-dependent emergency that requires prompt revascularization. Lower extremity extracorporeal distal revascularization (LEEDR) is a technique that can be initiated bedside when definitive therapy is delayed. The aim of this study is to evaluate this technique in a swine model of prolonged extremity ischemia. METHODS Anesthetized swine underwent right femoral and left posterior tibial artery cannulation, left iliac venous flow monitoring (mL/min), and continuous left anterior compartment pressure (CP) monitoring (mm Hg). The iliac artery was clamped for 6 hr. LEEDR animals underwent 5 hr of extracorporeal femoral-to-tibial blood flow at 150 mL/min; controls had no intervention. At 6 hr, LEEDR was discontinued, iliac flow restored, and anterior CP monitored for 3 hr. RESULTS Baseline characteristics were similar across both the groups. Iliac clamping saw an expected fall in iliac venous flow (258 ± 30 to 82 ± 19; P < 0.001). LEEDR resulted in a rise in iliac venous flow (82 ± 20 to 181 ± 16; P < 0.001); control arm flow remained reduced (71 ± 8; P < 0.001). Once inflow was restored, venous flow returned to baseline. Revascularization provoked a higher peak CP in the control arm versus in the LEEDR group (25 ± 5 vs. 6 ± 1; P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS An extracorporeal circuit can temporarily revascularize an extremity in a swine model of prolonged ischemia, mitigating reperfusion injury and maintaining normal CPs. This concept should undergo further evaluation as a bedside tool to mitigate extremity ischemia prior to definitive revascularization.

Abstract
Popliteal artery injury following knee dislocation is associated with significant morbidity and high amputation rates. The complex and multi-disciplinary input required to manage this injury effectively can take time to arrange, prolonging the time to revascularization. Furthermore, open surgical bypass or interposition graft can be technically challenging in the acute setting, further prolonging ischemic time.Temporary intravascular shunts can be used to temporarily restore flow but require surgical exposure which takes time. Endovascular techniques can decrease the time to revascularization; however, endovascular popliteal stent-grafting is controversial because the biomechanical forces relating to flexion and extension of the knee may increase the risk of stent thrombosis. An ideal operation would result in rapid revascularization, eventually leading to a definitive and durable surgical solution.We hypothesize that a staged approach combing extracorporeal shunting, temporary endovascular covered stent placement, external fixation of bony injury, and definitive open repair provides for a superior approach to popliteal artery injury than current standard of care. We term this approach lower extremity staged revascularization (LESR) and the aim is to minimize the known factors contributing to poor outcomes after traumatic popliteal artery injury.

Abstract
Objective Acute tissue ischaemia may arise due to arterial emergencies or during more complex vascular procedures and may be mitigated by temporary shunting techniques.
Endovascular shunting (ES) techniques enable percutaneous access and shunting from the donor artery without the need to completely interrupt the arterial flow in the donor artery. An endoshunt system may also cover longer distances than most conventional shunts. The aim was to investigate and optimise the flow rates in different endovascular shunt systems. Methods Step 1: The flow capacity of different ES configurations was compared with the flow capacity of a 9 Fr Pruitt-Inahara shunt (PIS). An intravenous bag with 0.9% NaCl, pressurised to 90 mmHg, was connected simultaneously to a PIS and to one of the tested ES configurations. The two shunt systems were then opened at the same time.
The delivered fluid volumes from the shunt systems were collected and measured. The volume flow rate was subsequently calculated.
Steps 2 and 3: Within a heart lung machine circuit, pressure-flow charts were constructed for the individual ES components and for the fully connected optimised endoshunt systems. The flow rate was increased in steps of 40-50 mL/min while monitoring the driving pressure, enabling the creation and comparison of the pressure-flow charts for the individually tested components. In total, seven individual inflow and outflow potential ES components were investigated with inflow and outflow diameters ranging from 6 to 15 Fr. Results ES systems based on standard donor introducers led to substantially lower volume flow than the corresponding PIS volume flow, whereas ES systems based on dedicated 6 or 8 Fr dialysis access introducers (Prelude Short Sheet, Merit Medical) matched PIS flow rates. The introduction of 30 cm long ¼'' perfusion tubing within the ES system did not affect volume flow for any of the tested ES configurations. Conclusion Endoshunting techniques can match PIS volume flow rates over short and long distances. The achieved ES flow rate is highly dependent on the components used within the ES system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The role of endovascular surgery in the treatment of popliteal arterial injuries is not well established. As with other popliteal pathology, open repair has traditionally been considered the gold standard. As data has accumulated and technology advanced, however, a reassessment of the role of endovascular surgery is warranted. The aim of this study is to perform a noninferiority comparison of open versus endovascular management of traumatic popliteal injuries. Our hypothesis is that endovascular management is noninferior to open management of traumatic popliteal injuries. METHODS The National Trauma Data Bank was searched for adult patients from 2002-2016 for isolated popliteal arterial injury. The study used a standard noninferiority methodology to compare rates of amputation and compartment syndrome between endovascular and open surgery. Margins for noninferiority were established using established published rates of complications: 17.1% for amputations and 23.0% for compartment syndrome. Endovascular intervention would be considered noninferior to open surgery if the lower bound confidence of the complication proportion (endo/open complication rate) was greater than the pre-defined noninferiority margin. RESULTS 3698 patients met inclusion criteria, with blunt injury accounting for 2117 (57%) and penetrating injury accounting for 1581 (43%). Within the blunt group, 1976 (93.3%) underwent open and 141 (6.7%) endovascular surgery. The rate of compartment syndrome (percentage and 95% confidence interval) after surgery for open repair was 9.9 (8.6-11.2) and 6.4 (3.2-11.3) for endovascular repair. The complication proportion is 64.6 (59.7-69.5). The rate of amputation for open repair was 15.7 (14.2-17.4) and 14.2 (9.2-20.6) for endovascular repair. The complication proportion is 90.4 (87.4-93.4). Within the penetrating group, 1525 (96.5%) underwent open repair and 56 (3.5%) endovascular surgery. The rate of compartment syndrome after surgery for open repair was 14.9 (13.2-16.7) and 5.4 (1.5-13.6) for endovascular repair. The complication proportion is 36.2 (31.3-41.1). The rate of amputation for open repair was 4.3 (3.3-5.4) and 3.6 (0.7-11.0) for endovascular repair. The complication proportion is 83.7 (75.3-90.6). CONCLUSION These data suggest that endovascular repair of popliteal artery injury may be noninferior to open repair with respect to limb preservation . Further examination of endovascular repair in popliteal artery injury is warranted.

Abstract
AIM This review aims to highlight mechanistic insights on skeletal muscle ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), a potentially life-threatening complication after acute lower limb ischemia. Lower limb IRI produces a wide spectrum of manifestations, ranging from local skeletal muscle necrosis to multi-organ failure. There is increasing evidence from both in vitro and in vivo reports to demonstrate several promising interventions that have successfully reduced IRI in skeletal muscle ischemic models. However, clinical studies to confirm their benefits are still lacking. METHOD We conducted a comprehensive search of English literature listed in the PubMed database (All related published articles shown in PubMed until September 2020 have been included in this review), using the following keywords: acute limb ischemia, acute arterial occlusion, compartment syndrome, ischemic reperfusion injury, revascularization and hypoxic reoxygenation. RESULT 58 articles pertinent to acute limb ischemia models were identified. The underlying mechanisms associated with IRI in skeletal muscle are due to excessive mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), cellular apoptosis and activation of inflammatory cascades. Several therapeutic interventions including both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments have been investigated and some showed promising results. These interventions include antioxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-hypertension, controlled-reperfusion and ischemic preconditioning. Further clinical studies are needed to warrant their use in a clinical setting for lower limb IRI treatment. CONCLUSION This review comprehensively summarizes the mechanisms underlying IRI in lower limb ischemia. The reports currently available regarding the potential therapeutic interventions against lower limb IRI from in vitro, in vivo and clinical studies are presented and discussed. These findings may provide mechanistic insights for devising the strategies to improve the clinical outcomes in IRI patients in the near future. Further clinical studies are needed to warrant their use in a clinical setting for lower limb IRI treatment.

Abstract
Ischemic diseases are life-threatening, and the incidence increases as people's lifestyles change. Medications and surgical intervention offer limited benefit, and stem cell therapy has emerged as a potential approach for treating ischemic diseases. The exosomes secreted by stem cells have attracted more attention because they do not trigger the immune response and can be used as drug carriers. The non-coding RNA (ncRNA) carried by exosomes plays a key role in mediating exosome's beneficial effect, which can be further enhanced when combined with nanomaterials to improve its retention time. Here, we review the downstream target molecules and signal pathways of ncRNA and summarize recent advances of some nanomaterials used to encapsulate exosomes and promote ischemic tissue repair. We highlight the imprinting of exosomes from parent cells and discuss how the inflammasome pathway may be targeted for the development of novel therapy for ischemic diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Temporary vascular shunts (TVSs) are an effective tool for rapidly restoring blood flow to a limb or organ that has experienced vascular injury and ischemia and for which revascularization is not an immediate option. Usually, through an opening in the skin, the TVS is positioned within the proximal and distal stumps of the injured vessel, restoring perfusion and stopping the ischemia. The aim of this study is to compare standard TVS technique and a developed puncture technique for implanting TVS and to evaluate the utility and feasibility of this protocol after arterial lesions, in pigs. METHODS Vascular injuries were inflicted in both hind limbs of 30 pigs, and vascular interventions were performed, using standard and puncture TVS. Because each pig was implanted with both types of TVSs, it was possible to simultaneously monitor, analyze, and compare parameters such as, the mean arterial pressure (MAP, in mm Hg), blood flow (mL/min), and insertion times, in the same animal. RESULTS It was observed that the MAP in the limbs recovered and approached systemic MAP, in 100% of the experiments, in both groups. Analysis of the blood flow data showed that this parameter was significantly reduced in the puncture TVS group (110.36 ± 9.99 mL/min vs. 153.20 ± 18.57 mL/min, P = 0.001). On the other hand, the insertion time for the standard TVS was significantly greater than that of the puncture shunt (15.32 ± 3.08 min vs. 10.37 ± 1.7 min, P = 0.001). Furthermore, it was found that the primary and secondary patency and complication rates were similar for both TVS types. CONCLUSION Thus, given the adequate MAP recovery and reduction in implantation time observed in this experimental and in an animal model study, the use of the puncture TVS technique is effective and feasible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Primary infection of the abdominal aorta is a rare pathology that may threaten the integrity of the aortic wall, while secondary aortic prosthesis infection represents a devastating complication to open surgical and endovascular aortic surgery. Curative treatment is achievable by removal of all infected prosthetic material followed by a vascular reconstruction. DESIGN AND METHODS: Twelve consecutive patients treated with the neo-aortoiliac system bypass (NAIS) procedure were reviewed. Nine were treated for a secondary aortic prosthesis infection (tube graft n = 3, bifurcated graft n = 4, endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) stent graft n = 1, and fenestrated EVAR [FEVAR] stent graft n = 1), while 3 patients underwent NAIS repair due to an emergent primary mycotic aortoiliac aneurysm. PRIMARY RESULTS: Ten of 12 patients survived 30 days. Three patients were operated on acutely, and 9 patients had elective or subacute NAIS surgery. Two of 3 patients operated acutely died within 30 days, whereas no 30-day or 1-year mortality was observed in patients undergoing elective or subacute surgery. The median time from primary reconstruction to the NAIS procedure was 11 months (range: 0-201 months). Stent grafts (n = 5 of 12) were in 4 cases explanted using endovascular balloon clamping. Of the explanted endografts, 2 patients presented with a secondary graft infection after EVAR/FEVAR, while 3 patients had been emergently treated with endovascular cuffs as a "bridge-to-surgery" procedure due to aortoenteric fistula (AEF). Patients who received a "bridge-to-surgery" regimen were treated with the NAIS procedure within 8 weeks (median 27 days, range: 27-60) after receiving emergency stent grafting. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS: Aortic balloon-clamping during explantation of infected aortic prosthetic endografts is feasible and facilitates complete endograft removal. Endovascular bridging procedures could be beneficiary in the treatment of AEF or anastomotic dehiscence due to graft infection, offering a possibility to convert the acute setting to an elective definitive reconstructive procedure with a higher overall success rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms are diagnosed in 40 and 10 to 15 out of 100 000 persons per year, respectively. Fenestrated (fEVAR) and branched (bEVAR) stent grafts have been developed for abdominal juxtarenal and thoracoabdominal aneurysms. We discuss the patency and complication rates of fEVAR and bEVAR procedures and compare them with the outcome of open surgery. METHODS This review is based on pertinent publications from 2011 to 2014 that were retrieved by a selective literature search. The clinical outcomes of case series involving a total of more than 1500 patients are presented. The discussion takes account of recommendations contained in the literature and the authors' own experience. RESULTS Open surgery and aortic stent grafting have not been compared in any randomized trial to date. We identified 7 clinical series that included a total of 1270 fEVAR patients and 5 with a total of 408 bEVAR patients. The perioperative mortality after fEVAR procedures was 0-4%. Spinal cord ischemia arose in 1% of cases. The stent patency rate in visceral vessels ranged from 93 to 98%. bEVAR procedures were associated with both higher mortality (4-7%) and more common spinal cord ischemia (4-13%). 5-8% of all patients needed dialysis perioperatively, and the stent patency rate in visceral vessels was 94-97%. Preoperative renal insufficiency was a risk factor for peri-interventional death. Impaired renal function after fEVAR/bEVAR procedures was mainly associated with intermittent lower limb ischemia. CONCLUSION The results of fEVAR/bEVAR procedures in the last 5 years are similar to those of open surgery. The high postoperative rate of spinal cord ischemia remains a serious problem in the endovascular treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. The decision to implant a stent graft by an endovascular approach or to treat surgically should be made on a case-to-case basis in an interdisciplinary vascular conference.
