Treatment Outcomes in Octogenarians with Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia after Infrainguinal Bypass Surgery or Endovascular Therapy. Ann Vasc Surg 2024; 106:312-320. [PMID: 38821471 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2024.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to analyze the clinical outcomes after revascularization for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) in patients aged ≥ 80 years and < 80 years. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed multicenter data of 789 patients who underwent infrainguinal revascularization for CLTI between 2015 and 2021. The end points were 2-year overall survival (OS), amputation-free survival (AFS), limb salvage (LS), and postoperative complications. RESULTS A total of 90 patients aged ≥ 80 years and 200 patients aged < 80 years underwent bypass surgery (BSX), and 205 patients aged ≥ 80 years and 294 patients aged < 80 years underwent endovascular therapy (EVT). Before the propensity score matching, multivariate analyses showed that age ≥ 80 years, lower body mass index and serum albumin levels, nonambulatory status, and end-stage renal disease were independent risk factors for 2-year mortality in the BSX and EVT groups. After propensity score matching, the 2-year OS was better in the < 80 years cohort than in the ≥ 80 years cohort in both the BSX and EVT groups (P = 0.018 and P = 0.035, respectively). There was no difference in the 2-year LS rates between the < 80 years and the ≥ 80 years cohorts in both the BSX and EVT groups (P = 0.621 and P = 0.287, respectively). According to the number of risk factors, except for age ≥ 80 years, there was no difference in the 2-year AFS rates between the < 80 years and ≥ 80 years cohorts for the BSX and EVT groups with 0-1 risk factor (P = 0.957 and P = 0.655, respectively). However, the 2-year AFS rate was poor, especially in the ≥ 80 years cohort in the BSX with 2-4 risk factors (P = 0.015). The Clavien-Dindo ≥ IV complication rates tended to be higher in the ≥ 80 years cohort than in the < 80 years cohort only in the BSX with 2-4 risk factors (P = 0.056). CONCLUSIONS Patients with CLTI aged ≥ 80 years had poorer OS than those aged < 80 years. However, there was no difference in LS between the ≥ 80 years and < 80 years cohorts in both the BSX and EVT groups. Although age ≥ 80 years was associated with poorer OS, patients with 0-1 risk factor may benefit from revascularization, including BSX, because no difference was observed in AFS or Clavien-Dindo ≥ IV complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Peripheral artery disease is a worldwide epidemic that affects millions of patients, especially the elderly. It has a prevalence of 20% in individuals >80 years old. Although peripheral artery disease affects >20% of octogenarians, information about limb salvage rates in this patient population is limited. Therefore, this study aims to understand the impact of bypass surgery on limb salvage in patients aged >80 years with critical limb ischemia. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis by querying the electronic medical records at a single institution from 2016 through 2022 to identify the population of interest and analyzed their outcomes after lower extremity bypass. The primary outcomes were limb salvage and primary patency, with hospital length of stay and 1-year mortality as secondary outcomes. RESULTS We identified 137 patients who met the inclusion criteria. The lower extremity bypass population was divided into two cohorts: <80 years old (n = 111) with a mean age of 66 or ≥80 years old (n = 26) with a mean age of 84 years. The gender distribution was similar (P = .163). No significant difference was found in the two cohorts when it came to coronary artery disease, chronic kidney disease, or diabetes mellitus. However, when current and former smokers were grouped together, they were significantly more common in the younger cohort when compared with nonsmokers (P = .028). The primary end point of limb salvage was not significantly different between the two cohorts. Hospital length of stay was not significantly different between the two cohorts with 4.13 days vs 4.17 days in the younger vs octogenarian cohorts, respectively (P = .95). The 30-day all-cause readmissions were also not found to be significantly different between the two groups. The primary patency at 1 year was 75% and 77% (P = .16) for the <80-year-old and ≥80-year-old cohorts, respectively. Mortality was low in both cohorts, with two and three for the younger and octogenarian populations, respectively; thus, no analysis was performed. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that octogenarians who undergo the same preoperative risk assessment as younger populations have similar outcomes when it comes to primary patency, hospital length of stay, and limb salvage when comorbidities were considered. Further studies need to be done to determine the statistical impact on mortality in this population with a larger cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transit time flow meter (TTFM) allows quick and accurate intraoperative graft assessment. The main study goal is to evaluate the influence of graft flow measurements on long-term clinical outcomes in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) undergoing bellow the knee (BTK) vein bypass surgery. METHODS Between January 1st, 1999 and January 1st, 2006, 976 CLTI consecutive patients underwent lower extremity bypass surgery. When applying the exclusion criteria, 249 patients were included in the final analysis. Control measurements were performed at the end of the procedure. Patients were divided according to the mean (more/less than 100 ml/min) and diastolic graft flow (more/less than 40 ml/min) values in four groups. The primary endpoints were a major adverse limb event (male) and primary graft patency. RESULTS After the median follow-up of 68 months, a group with the mean graft flow below 100 ml/min and the diastolic graft flow below 40 ml/min had the highest rates of male (χ2 = 36.60, DF = 1, P < 0.01, log-rank test) and the worst primary graft patency (χ2 = 53.05, DF = 1, P < 0.01, log-rank test). CONCLUSION In patients with CLTI undergoing BTK vein bypass surgery, TTFM parameters, especially combined impact of mean graft flow less than 100 ml/min and diastolic graft flow less than 40 ml/min, were associated with an increased risk of poor long-term male and primary graft patency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Revascularization according to the angiosome concept is of proven importance for limb salvage in chronic limb threatening ischaemia but it is not always practicable. Bifurcated bypasses could be considered as an option when an endovascular approach is not feasible or has already failed and a single bypass would not allow direct revascularization of the ischaemic area. Bifurcated bypasses are characterized by landing on two different arteries, the main artery (in direct continuity with the foot vessels) and the secondary one (perfusing the angiosome district). The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of bifurcated bypass in chronic limb threatening ischaemia. METHODS Thirty-five patients were consecutively treated with a bifurcated bypass for chronic limb threatening ischaemia from January 2014 to December 2019 in a single vascular surgery centre. Data from clinical records and operative registers were collected prospectively in an electronic database and retrospectively analysed. Primary and primary assisted bypass patency, amputation-free survival, morbidity and mortality rates at 12 and 24 months were analysed. RESULTS Mean follow-up period was 25.1 months (range 2-72 months). Thirty-six bifurcated bypasses were performed on 35 patients (age 75.3 ± 7.2 years; 69.4% were male). According to Wound, Ischemia, foot Infection classification 22.2% belonged to stage 3 and 77.8% to stage 4 and the mean Rutherford's class was 5.1 ± 0.7. Immediate technical success was 100%. Early mortality and morbidity rates were respectively 5.5%, and 33.3%; foot surgery was performed in 50% of cases with wound healing in all patients. Primary patency and primary assisted bypass patency were 96.7% and 100% at 6 months; 85.2% and 92% at 12 months, 59.9% and 73.4% at 24 months, respectively. Amputation-free survival at 12 and 24 months was, respectively, 95.6% and 78.8%. Overall survival rates at 12 and 24 months were respectively 94.4% and 91.6%. CONCLUSIONS Bifurcates bypass can provide good results in patients with chronic limb threatening ischaemia without endovascular option, especially in diabetic ones. Bifurcated bypass is a complex surgical solution, both to be planned and performed, and it is quite invasive for frail patients that should be accurately selected.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the clinical outcomes after revascularisation in octogenarians with chronic limb threatening ischaemia (CLTI). METHODS This was a systematic review and meta-analysis, in which the Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched systematically by two independent researchers. Meta-analyses were performed to analyse one year mortality, one year major amputation, and one year amputation free survival (AFS) after revascularisation. Pooled outcome estimates were reported as percentages and odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). In addition, sensitivity and subgroup analyses were performed and the quality of evidence was determined according to the GRADE system. RESULTS The review includes 21 observational studies with patients who were treated for CLTI. Meta-analysis of 12 studies with a total of 17 118 patients was performed. A mortality rate of 32% was found in octogenarians (95% CI 27-37%), which was significantly higher than in the non-octogenarians (17%, 95% CI 11-22%/OR 2.52, 95% CI 1.93-3.29; GRADE: "low"). No significant difference in amputation rate was found (octogenarians 15%, 95% CI 11-18%; non-octogenarians 12%, 95% CI 7-14%; GRADE: "very low"). AFS was significantly lower in the octogenarian group (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.03-2.43; GRADE: "very low"). In a subgroup analysis differentiating between endovascular and surgical revascularisation, amputation rates were comparable. For octogenarians, those treated conservatively had a mortality rate significantly higher than those treated by revascularisation (OR 1.76, 95% CI 1.19-2.60; GRADE: "very low"). No significant difference in mortality rate was found between primary amputation and revascularisation in octogenarians (OR 0.70, 95% CI 0.24-2.03; GRADE: "very low"). CONCLUSION In octogenarians with CLTI, a substantial one year mortality rate of 32% was found after revascularisation. The amputation rates were comparable between both age groups. However, only low quality evidence could be obtained supporting the results of this meta-analysis because only observational studies were available for inclusion.
