Abstract
OBJECTIVES Constantly increasing number of procedures performed - endovascular or hybrid in patients with aortoiliac occlusive disease during the last decades finds its explanation in the lower morbidity and mortality rates, compared to bypass surgery. The purpose of the current survey was to estimate patients' radiation exposure in aortoiliac segment after endovascular or hybrid revascularization and to study the main factors which have direct contribution. METHODS A retrospective study of 285 procedures conducted with the help of a mobile C-arm system in 223 patients was performed. Procedures were grouped according to criteria such as: type of intervention, vascular access, level of complexity and operating team. Different analyses were performed within the groups and dose values. RESULTS The median values of kerma-air product (KAP), the number of series and the peak skin dose (PSD) significantly increase with the increasing number of vascular accesses: for one access (16.68 Gy.cm2, 6 and 336 mGy), for two (56.93 Gy.cm2, 11 and 545 mGy), and for three (102.28 Gy.cm2, 15 and 781 mGy). Significant dependence was observed in the case of single access site between the type of access and the dose values: hybrid and retrograde common femoral artery/superficial femoral artery (CFA/SFA) endovascular accesses, 10.06 Gy.cm2/301 mGy and 13.23 Gy.cm2/318 mGy respectively, in contrast with the contralateral CFA and left brachial access, 33 Gy.cm2/421 mGy and 38.33 Gy.cm2/448 mGy respectively. CONCLUSION The results demonstrate that the most important factors increasing the dose values are number and type of vascular accesses, followed by the combination and number of implanted stents with the complexity of the procedure. The PSD values for a single procedure were between 2 and 12 times lower than those IAEA proposed as trigger levels for radiation-induced erythema. This study shows that trigger levels were not reached even for patients with repeated procedures in the same segment in 1-year period. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE The study gives important understanding and clarity on the growing awareness for dose-modifying factors during endovascular and hybrid revascularization of aortoiliac segment.

Abstract
Infection of peripheral arterial vascular grafts and stent-grafts represents a complex surgical scenario, with a number of proposed management strategies. Surgical removal of infected material with adjunctive arterial reconstruction is often required. However, surgical removal is often difficult and complex. This case study demonstrates an infected Viabahn stent-graft between the external iliac artery and the superficial femoral artery, with arterial autolysis of the common femoral artery and proximal superficial femoral artery, in which a hybrid technique combining remote endarterectomy and surgical debridement was used to remove the infected stent-graft.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness and postoperative morbidity after endarterectomy from the iliac arteries in comparison with ilio-femoral and aorto-femoral replacement in patients with chronic critical lower limb ischemia. MATERIAL AND METHODS There were 95 patients with chronic critical lower limb ischemia. Iliac artery replacement was carried out in 43 (45.3%) patients, endarterectomy from the iliac arteries - in 52 (54.7%) cases. Trophic disorders on the lower extremities occurred in 36 (37.9%) patients. RESULTS Iliac artery replacement was accompanied by postoperative wound suppuration and infection of prosthesis in 3 (6.9%) patients, postoperative ventral hernia in 2 (4.7%) patients. The total number of complications specific for endarterectomy (iliac artery perforation - 1 (1.9%) patient, iliac artery thrombosis - 3 (5.8%) patients) was similar to the literature data. Successful endarterectomy was performed in 52 (88.1%) patients. Iliac segment patency was similar in both groups throughout a 12-month follow-up period. CONCLUSION Endarterectomy from the iliac arteries has some advantages over replacement and should be preferred for trophic complications on the lower extremities.

Balloon-assisted remote external iliac artery endarterectomy: A safe and durable technique for the treatment of iliac artery occlusive disease. J Vasc Surg 2019; 71:2029-2037. [PMID: 31727464 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2019.08.263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2019] [Accepted: 08/16/2019] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Historically, the treatment of iliac artery occlusive disease required a surgical bypass usually consisting of an aortobifemoral bypass or an iliofemoral bypass. With the advent of balloon angioplasty and stenting, these procedures are frequently replaced with endovascular options. However, the treatment of diffuse occlusive disease of the external iliac artery (EIA) using balloon angioplasty and/or stenting does not carry a favorable long-term patency rate. Remote endarterectomy of the EIA using ring dissectors with balloon assistance provides a novel, controlled, safe, and durable treatment of the diseased and/or occluded EIA. METHODS A retrospective review over the past 6 years was performed at our institution identifying patients treated with balloon-assisted remote endarterectomy of the EIA by the current five practicing vascular surgeons. The technique involves exposure of the ipsilateral common femoral artery. With nonocclusive disease, direct access into the common femoral artery is performed, a wire is traversed through the diseased EIA, and a balloon is inflated at the origin of the vessel providing hemostasis and control. A femoral endarterectomy is performed, and a ring dissector is passed over the endarterectomized material including the wire and balloon catheter and advanced remotely through the EIA up to the balloon. The balloon is briefly deflated, repositioned within the ring dissector, and reinflated, thus cutting the plaque. This allows for retraction of the inflated balloon and cutter, removing the endarterectomized core plaque. The procedure is similar for the treatment of an occluded EIA, but wire access across the occluded vessel is normally achieved with contralateral access. In both cases, the balloon provides control and hemostasis and is critically important in the rare treatment of vessel rupture. RESULTS A total of 101 vessels were treated in 97 patients. The procedure was successful in 98 vessels (97%) with failure related to vessel rupture requiring conversion to an iliofemoral bypass. The estimated patency rate at three years was 94% with a median follow-up of 20 months. Restenosis/occlusion in four patients seemed to be related to a severe sclerotic response. The EIA was occluded 32% of the time. The common iliac artery (CIA) was diseased requiring angioplasty and stenting 29% of the time and a stent was placed at the transition zone between endarterectomized vessel and nontreated proximal most EIA or distal most CIA 58% of the time. There were no perioperative deaths. CONCLUSIONS Balloon-assisted remote endarterectomy of the diffusely diseased and/or occluded EIA is a safe and durable option. It precludes the need for a prosthetic conduit and the risk of associated infection. It also involves a single groin incision and negates the need for retroperitoneal exposure of the CIA.

Abstract
Over recent decades, there has been a considerable increase in use of endovascular methods to treat aortoiliac occlusive disease. It has been demonstrated that this approach offers many benefits, primarily for non-complex arterial lesions of the iliac axis, but difficulties persist with achieving adequate results over the medium and long term when treating extensive occlusive disease. Arterial bypasses to alternative vicarious arteries of the femoral-genicular complex for limb salvage are well known in the literature describing cases that are not favorable for conventional or endovascular surgery. We describe the case of a patient with extensive aortoiliac occlusive disease treated with an arterial bypass in the iliofemoral territory, using an alternative autologous substitute and the descending lateral femoral artery as recipient artery. Alternative bypasses and substitutes that are normally reserved for exceptional cases can and should be part of the vascular therapeutic arsenal and have a contribution to make in cases in which endovascular surgery does not yet enable us to achieve good results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remote iliac artery endarterectomy (RIAE) is a challenging technique in the treatment of arterial occlusive disease. The impact of proximal transection zone stenting on patency rates is still unclear. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent RIAE in our hospital between March 2007 and October 2017. A stent was used in cases with a dissection flap or a stenosis at the proximal transection zone after RIAE. In all other cases, we did not use a stent. Study end points were patency rates, limb salvage, and survival after 5 years. RESULTS There were 115 RIAEs performed in 108 patients. All lesions were TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus C (61.7%) or D (38.3%) lesions. The median follow-up time was 38.5 months (range, 0-117 months). The indications were claudication in 67.0% and critical limb ischemia in 33.0%. Group 1 (n = 56) included all patients without a stent; group 2 (n = 59) included all patients with stenting of the proximal dissection zone. Risk factors were similar between the groups. The 30-day morbidity and mortality rates between the groups were not significantly different. The primary patency rate was 81.6% (group 1, 76.2%; group 2, 87.6%; P = .286), the primary assisted patency rate was 91.9% (group 1, 94.0%; group 2, 90.0%; P = .512), and the secondary patency rate was 93.8% (group 1, 94.0%; group 2, 91.6%; P = .435) after 5 years. Limb salvage (97.2%; group 1, 100%; group 2, 94.5%; P = .084) and survival time (57.1%; group 1, 66.7%; group 2, 43.5%; P = .170) were also not significantly different between the groups. A restenosis at the transection zone occurred in 14.3% in group 1 and 1.7% in group 2 (P = .013) during follow-up. A newly formed occlusion of the hypogastric artery was seen in 5.2% of patients after RIAE. CONCLUSIONS RIAE is a safe procedure with excellent patency rates. However, the restenosis rate is higher in cases without stenting.

Remote Endarterectomy and Lamina Vastoadductoria Dissection Improves Superficial Femoral Artery Biomechanical Behavior during Limb Flexion. Ann Vasc Surg 2018; 50:112-118.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Superficial femoral artery (SFA) remote endarterectomy offers the advantage of preserving anatomy and geometry of the native artery, but the risk of restenosis still exists. The particular role of the adductor canal (AC) in mechanical constraints has been highlighted. The aim of this study was to assess if a surgical protocol associating remote SFA endarterectomy and AC freeing would modify the SFA geometrical changes during physiological limb flexion. METHODS From January 2015 to March 2015, 10 patients (Rutherford 3-5) with unilateral SFA occlusion were included. Functional postoperative assessments were performed through duplex ultrasound (DUS) examinations with flow velocity measurements in both straight and flexed positions and anatomical measurements through 3-dimensional computed tomography angiography (CTA) reconstructions with arterial angulations examination. Functional results were compared with similar findings in healthy volunteers, and anatomical results were compared with contralateral limb findings. RESULTS Mean occlusion length was 243.0 ± 17.7 mm. Technical success was achieved in all cases. No difference of peak flow velocities was noticed between operated patients and volunteers. CTA results showed that limb flexion induced SFA shortening in all segments, with a maximal value for the popliteal artery (PA) (10.4 ± 4.4%). Comparisons between the operated and contralateral limbs showed that angles were less sharp during bending in the operated limb. CONCLUSIONS This preliminary study demonstrates that freeing the AC modifies the biomechanical properties of the SFA. These results could potentially help in proposing future hybrid techniques that could improve technical performances for SFA occlusive disease treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term results of remote iliac artery endarterectomy (RIAE) in 2 vascular referral centers and review existing literature. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted of 109 consecutive patients (mean age 64.2±10.7 years; 72 men) who underwent 113 RIAE procedures for lower limb ischemia from January 2004 to August 2015 at 2 vascular centers. The majority of limbs (82, 72.6%) had TASC II D lesions (31 TASC II C). Primary outcome measures were primary, assisted primary, and secondary patency. A comprehensive literature search was performed in the PubMed and EMBASE databases to identify all English-language studies published after 1990 reporting the results of RIAE. RESULTS Technical success was achieved in 95 (84.1%) of the 113 procedures. The complication rate was 13.7%, and 30-day mortality was 0%. At 5 years, primary patency was 78.2%, assisted primary patency was 83.4%, and secondary patency was 86.7%. Hemodynamic success was obtained in 91.7% of patients, and clinical improvement was observed in 95.2%. Freedom from major amputation was 94.7% at 5 years. The systematic review comprised 6 studies including 419 RIAEs, and pooled data showed results similar to the current study. CONCLUSION For external iliac artery occlusions extending into the common femoral artery, RIAE appears to be a valuable hybrid treatment option. It combines acceptable morbidity and low mortality with good long-term patency. It has some advantages over an open surgical iliofemoral bypass or complete endovascular revascularization and could be the best treatment option in selected cases.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the perioperative and long-term results of initial successful remote iliac artery endarterectomies (RIAEs) with converted procedures. From April 1994 to September 2003, 63 remote endarterectomies of the external and/or common iliac artery were planned in 62 patients (41 males, 42 procedures). The median age was 65 years (range 39–83 years), and the indication for operation was severe claudication in 37 (59%), rest pain in 16 (25%), and gangrene in 10 (16%) procedures. Initial technical success was achieved in 56 (89%) procedures (group 1); seven conversions (group 2) were necessary. In group 1, the 5-year primary patency rate improved from 64 ± 15% to a primary assisted patency of 88 ± 9.3% after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in 11 patients, with 7 requiring stent placement. The 5-year secondary patency rate was 94 ± 7.4%. The primary and secondary patency rates in group 2 were 86 ± 19% and 100%, respectively. RIAE can be offered to patients with long occlusions of the iliac arteries as a first treatment option. The inherent risk of a possible conversion of an intended RIAE to a more invasive surgical procedure has no significant adverse clinical effect on the early and 5-year clinical outcomes.

Abstract
We present our preliminary results of remote endarterectomy performed during June 2003 to June 2010. 8 cases of unilateral ileofemoral disease, 3 cases of bilateral ileofemoral disease and 4 cases of femoro-popliteal disease constituting 18 limbs were successfully operated. All patients had comorbid conditions like Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiac disease and smoking. Patency at 3 months with loss of one patient for follow up was 100 %. At one year follow up, the overall success rate was 90.90 %. One patient with Iliofemoral Endarterectomy had progression of the disease and hence had to undergo Aorto-Femoral bypass. All patients who had tissue loss, showed complete recovery by 3 months and one patient was lost to follow up. A 5 year follow up had a patency rate of 74 %. Remote endarterectomy is a viable and durable alternative to standard bypass procedures. Remote endarterectomy combines the advantages of minimally invasive surgery with endovascular techniques.

Abstract
Purpose: Describe a hybrid approach to simplify management of complex aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) extending into the common femoral artery (CFA). Methods: Retrospective review of 56 patients who underwent hybrid management of AIOD extending into CFA between January 2003 and February 2007. Two distinct hybrid approaches were compared: Inline (iliac stenting continuous with an open CFA reconstruction, 38 limbs in 37 patients) and tandem (noncontiguous stenting of an upstream iliac segment, 20 limbs in 19 patients). The median follow-up duration was 15 ± 12 months in the inline group and 24 ± 12 months in the tandem group. Results: Technical success was achieved in all but 1 procedure. Clinical and hemodynamic responses to the interventions and limb loss rates were comparable in both groups. Survival table analysis showed no significant difference between inline and tandem reconstructions. Conclusions: Inline stenting represents a lesser invasive revascularization choice in complex AIOD with contiguous involvement of the CFA.

Abstract
Although iliac artery (IA) endarterectomy has largely been replaced by bypass and endovascular options, open endarterectomy continues to play an important role in selected patterns of occlusive disease. The objective of this report is to present a contemporary clinical series of patients having undergone IA endarterectomy. Specifically, we define patterns of disease amenable to open endarterectomy and provide an updated technical note of this procedure. A retrospective study on 23 patients with IA occlusions unsuitable for radiologic intervention (TransAtlantic Inter-Societal Consensus [TASC] C and D lesions) underwent extraperitoneal IA endarterectomy. Twenty-five primary IA endarterectomies were performed. Of these, five required more extensive endarterectomy, three of the distal aorta and two of the contralateral IA. Sixteen of the 25 endarterectomies required common femoral artery endarterectomy and 6 required iliofemoral bypass. The average follow-up was 26 months. Procedure-related mortality occurred in one patient (4.3%). Within 4 months, one patient underwent an aortofemoral bypass and two patients required major amputation. Primary patency rates were 96% at 3 months and 88% at 1, 2, and 3 years. This series shows that in selected patterns of aortoiliac occlusive disease, endarterectomy remains an important alternative to consider.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Information on outcome of patients with long superficial femoral artery (SFA) obstruction undergoing endovascular treatment is scarce. The present study reports results from a prospective multicenter registry designed to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and patency of the aSpire self-expanding polytetrafluoroethylene covered stent (Vascular Architects Inc, San Jose, Calif) in patients with femoropopliteal occlusive disease. METHOD The aSpire Registry included 150 patients (166 limbs) enrolled in 16 centers during a 28-month period (2003 to 2005) for medium/long (>3 cm) occlusion (n = 115) or stenosis (n = 51) of the SFA (n = 51) or of the proximal popliteal (n = 115) arteries. Procedures were performed for intermittent claudication in 92, for rest pain in 33, and for limb savage in 41. The mean length of arterial segment covered was 107.35 +/- 73.7 mm. Indications for treatment included 44 type B1, 57 type B2, 47 type C1, and 18 type D lesions according to TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus classification. Clinical and ultrasound evaluation was performed at discharge and at 1, 6, 12 months, and yearly thereafter. Mean follow-up was 13 months (range, 1 to 36). Primary end points were immediate technical success (vessel recanalization with residual stenosis < or =30%) and stent patency. RESULTS Initial technical success was obtained in 162 (97.6%) of 166 procedures. More than one stent was applied in 48 procedures, for a total of 214 stents. No periprocedural deaths occurred. Procedure-related complications occurred in 22 of 166 procedures, including 6 peripheral embolizations, 7 thromboses, 2 hemorrhages requiring revision, 1 vessel rupture, and 6 vessel dissections. Life-table estimates of primary patency at 12, 24, and 36 months were 64%, 59%, and 59%, respectively. Thirty-two reinterventions were performed during follow-up, resulting in secondary patency rates at 12, 24, and 36 months of 74.2%, 67%, and 67%, respectively. Amputation was required in six of 41 patients treated for limb salvage. At multivariate analysis, critical limb ischemia was the only significant predictor of late failure. CONCLUSION Endovascular treatment of SFA occlusive lesions provides interesting results. Length of lesion and clinical symptoms influence negatively the patency. The aSpire covered stent showed good mid-term results, but a number of reinterventions were necessary to obtain an optimal secondary patency. Risk of patency failure was related to critical limb ischemia as an indication for the procedure. Technologic and pharmacologic improvement and longer follow-up are needed to define the indications for the aSpire stent.

Abstract
Today's patients increasingly desire a low-risk procedure with rapid return to functional status following surgery. Many patients actively seek a minimally invasive option. During the last decade, minimally invasive surgical and radiological procedures emerged from their infancy to become an integral part of the treatment strategy in both peripheral arterial occlusive disease and aneurysmal arterial disease. The trend towards restoration of luminal patency, using the vessel itself as a conduit, can also be termed restorative intervention. As radiological percutaneous transluminal angioplasty has thus far proven unsuccessful in the long term for iliac and femoropopliteal occlusive lesions exceeding 10 cm, a new endovascular surgical procedure has been developed. A modification to the original ringstripper, used in semiclosed endarterectomy, was made to enable the technique of remote endarterectomy.

Abstract
A 53-year-old man with a significant respiratory history waiting for lung transplantation presented with severe bilateral buttock and thigh claudication. Angiography revealed severe stenosis of the left renal artery and total occlusion of the infrarenal abdominal aorta and iliac vessels. Via a bilateral surgical femoral exposure, we performed semiclosed endarterectomy of the iliofemoral vessels and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty stenting of the infrarenal aorta with two Palmaz stents and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty "kissing stents" of the iliac arteries with three Luminexx stents bilaterally. Completion angiography showed successful complete recanalization of the aortoiliofemoral axis. Palpable distal pulses were restored. A combined surgical and endovascular approach should be considered a viable alternative to laparotomy in selected patients with total juxtarenal aortic occlusion.
