Endovascular Revascularization and Outcomes of Critical Limb-Threatening Ischemia in Trinidad and Tobago: The EVENT Pilot Study-Challenges in a Limited-Resource, Caribbean Setting. Cardiol Ther 2023; 12:511-524. [PMID: 37329412 PMCID: PMC10423177 DOI: 10.1007/s40119-023-00322-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This retrospective study investigated major adverse limb events (MALE) and mortality outcomes in critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) patients with tissue loss after an endovascular revascularization-first (EVR-1st) strategy. METHODS MALE and mortality were assessed in 157 consecutive patients with CLTI and tissue loss from June 2019 to June 2022 at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Trinidad and Tobago. RESULTS 157 patients underwent the EVR-1st strategy, of whom 20 were pivoted to immediate surgical revascularization (SR). Of the remaining 137 patients, successful EVR was achieved in 112, giving a procedural success of 82% and an all-comer overall success of 71%. The mortality and MALE rates were 2.7% and 8.9% at 2 years, respectively. Males and patients with previous major amputations were at significantly higher risk for MALE (p values of 0.016 and 0.018, respectively). There was a statistically significant difference in successful EVR for both Rutherford-Baker (RB) 5 (minor) and RB 6 (major) classifications: 63 (56%) vs. 5 (20%) and 49 (44%) vs. 20 (80%), both with a p value of 0.01. There were no differences in successful EVR amongst Wound, Ischemia, Foot Infection (WIfI) clinical stages. There were no differences in successful EVR amongst the Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC II) classifications. CONCLUSIONS This study may prove clinically informative and applicable for an EVR-1st management strategy for high-risk patients with CLTI in a limited-resource, Caribbean setting. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05547022 (retrospectively registered).

Abstract
The Society for Vascular Surgery and the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Society formally collaborated and elected an international, multi-disciplinary panel of experts to review the literature and provide evidence-based suggestions for coordinated perioperative care for patients undergoing infrainguinal bypass surgery for peripheral artery disease. Structured around the ERAS core elements, 26 suggestions were made and organized into preadmission, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative sections.

Abstract
Diabetic foot (DF) is a chronic and highly disabling complication of diabetes. The prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is high in diabetic patients and, associated or not with peripheral neuropathy (PN), can be found in 50% of cases of DF. It is worth pointing out that the number of major amputations in diabetic patients is still very high. Many PAD diabetic patients are not revascularised due to lack of technical expertise or, even worse, negative beliefs because of poor experience. This despite the progress obtained in the techniques of distal revascularisation that nowadays allow to reopen distal arteries of the leg and foot. Italy has one of the lowest prevalence rates of major amputations in Europe, and has a long tradition in the field of limb salvage by means of an aggressive approach in debridement, antibiotic therapy and distal revascularisation. Therefore, we believe it is appropriate to produce a consensus document concerning the treatment of PAD and limb salvage in diabetic patients, based on the Italian experience in this field, to share with the scientific community.
