Abstract
INTRODUCTION Superficial arteries, such as radial and dorsalis pedis arteries, are commonly cannulated for invasive blood pressure monitoring. Failure to cannulate these arteries necessitates alternate arteries, such as the posterior tibial artery (PTA). The deep-seated anatomy of PTA makes arterial cannulation precarious by the palpatory technique. Ultrasound guidance during PTA cannulation may overcome this problem. With this background, we evaluated the ultrasound-guided (USG) versus palpatory method for PTA cannulation with respect to the first attempt's success and number of attempts. METHODS A total of 240 American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physical status I-IV adult patients undergoing major surgeries requiring arterial cannulation were randomly allocated (1:1) to group A (USG-guided cannulation, n = 120) and Group B (cannulation by palpatory technique, n =120). PTA was cannulated by either of the techniques according to randomization. Data were analyzed and compared in both groups for first-attempt success, number of attempts, assessment time, cannulation time, and complications. RESULT The successful cannulation in the first attempt in Group A was 25.8% (n = 31), and in Group B, it was 12.5% (n = 15) (p = 0.009). In Group A, 78.3% of patients (n = 94) had successful cannulation, and in group B, 65% of patients (n =78) had successful cannulation (p = 0.022). Both groups had similar assessment time (p = 0.348) and cannulation time (p = 0.864). CONCLUSION USG-guided PTA cannulation offers a greater chance of success without any added increase in procedure time.

Abstract
In normal anatomy, the anterior tibial artery is typically the first branch of the popliteal artery before it becomes the tibioperoneal trunk. The normal course of the anterior tibial artery includes piercing through the interosseus membrane and continuing through the anterior compartment. It then continues onto the dorsum of the foot as the dorsalis pedis artery at the level of the malleoli. We describe a unique case of an anomalous origin of the dorsalis pedis artery from the peroneal artery. It is important for vascular surgeons to be aware of this variant while interpreting arteriograms of the lower extremity. It can be easily misinterpreted as an occluded distal anterior tibial artery with reconstitution of the dorsalis pedis artery from the collaterals.

Abstract
Diagnostic radiologists play an important role in the evaluation of patients presenting with signs and symptoms of lower extremity peripheral vascular disease, including critical limb ischemia in both acute and chronic settings, and intermittent claudication. The complications associated with tissue and/or limb loss related to acute limb ischemia and critical limb ischemia of the lower extremity make rapid diagnosis and early intervention critical in the management of these patients. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is an effective, widely available, easily reproducible, non-invasive imaging modality that offers a rapid and accurate means to diagnose and grade the extent of vascular disease. However, CTA run-off reports are usually dictated in free text form, and referring and treating physicians may be unsure whether an anatomic structure has been evaluated if it has not been specifically mentioned in the report. In this article, the vascular anatomy and anatomic variants of the lower extremity, the most common lower extremity vascular pathologies are reviewed and clinically important CTA imaging findings are outlined. This provides a framework for radiologists to accurately evaluate lower extremity vascular pathologies and convey clinically relevant imaging findings for management by vascular surgeons or interventional radiologists.

Abstract
Background/Objectives Drug-coated balloon therapy for diseased superficial femoral arteries remains controversial. Despite its clinical relevance, only a few computational studies based on simplistic two-dimensional models have been proposed to investigate this endovascular therapy to date. This work addresses the aforementioned limitation by analyzing the drug transport and kinetics occurring during drug-coated balloon deployment in a three-dimensional geometry. Methods An idealized three-dimensional model of a superficial femoral artery presenting with a calcific plaque and treated with a drug-coated balloon was created to perform transient mass transport simulations. To account for the transport of drug (i.e. paclitaxel) released by the device, a diffusion-reaction equation was implemented by describing the drug bound to specific intracellular receptors through a non-linear, reversible reaction. The following features concerning procedural aspects, pathologies and modelling assumptions were investigated: (i) balloon application time (60–180 seconds); (ii) vessel wall composition (healthy vs. calcified wall); (iii) sequential balloon application; and (iv) drug wash-out by the blood stream vs. coating retention, modeled as exponential decay. Results The balloon inflation time impacted both the free and specifically-bound drug concentrations in the vessel wall. The vessel wall composition highly affected the drug concentrations. In particular, the specifically-bound drug concentration was four orders of magnitude lower in the calcific compared with healthy vessel wall portions, primarily as a result of reduced drug diffusion. The sequential application of two drug-coated balloons led to modest differences (~15%) in drug concentration immediately after inflation, which became negligible within 10 minutes. The retention of the balloon coating increased the drug concentration in the vessel wall fourfold. Conclusions The overall findings suggest that paclitaxel kinetics may be affected not only by the geometrical and compositional features of the vessel treated with the drug-coated balloon, but also by balloon design characteristics and procedural aspects that should be carefully considered.

Comparison between antegrade common femoral artery access and superficial femoral artery access in infrainguinal endovascular interventions. J Vasc Surg 2021; 74:763-770. [PMID: 33684479 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2021.02.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2020] [Accepted: 02/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Antegrade access for infrainguinal endovascular intervention can be achieved through the common femoral artery (CFA) or superficial femoral artery (SFA). A few studies with small sample sizes have shown similar efficacy and safety for antegrade puncture of the CFA and SFA. In the present study, we analyzed the feasibility of SFA access and the occurrence of complications between SFA and CFA ipsilateral access in a broader cohort. METHODS In the present retrospective study, we analyzed data from 462 patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) who had undergone peripheral angioplasty from 2009 to 2016. The inclusion criteria were PAD at Rutherford stage 3 to 6 and use of an endovascular approach. Patients with coagulation disorders, those receiving anticoagulant therapy, cases with deployment of closure devices, cases with more than one access on the same limb, and patients with inadequate bed rest after the procedure were excluded. A systematic analysis of all patients' electronic medical records was performed to evaluate the demographic aspects and technical success and identify the possible complications associated with CFA and SFA access. RESULTS Of the 462 patients, 290 had undergone SFA puncture and 172, CFA puncture. The demographic evaluation of both groups revealed no differences between the two groups, except that more patients with diabetes were in the CFA group and more patients with dyslipidemia and an advanced clinical presentation were in the SFA group. First puncture access was successful in 99.7% of the SFA group and 96.5% of the CFA group (P = .01). The hematoma rate in the SFA and CFA groups was 20.3% and 11%, respectively (P = .01). The incidence of major bleeding and clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding was not significantly different between the two groups (P = .215). Only three patients had developed a pseudoaneurysm, two of whom were in the SFA group. Female sex (odds ratio [OR], 2.572; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.520-4.354; P < .001] and older age (OR, 1.034; 95% CI, 1.009-1.059; P = .007) were associated with an increased hematoma rate. CONCLUSIONS SFA access was associated with a higher overall rate of hematoma compared with CFA access. However, no significant difference was found in the incidence of major bleeding between the two access sites. Planned SFA access should be considered as an alternative to CFA access.

Abstract
Microsurgical free tissue transfer is still playing an important role in lower extremity reconstruction. Finding a suitable recipient artery for anastomosis is critical in the microsurgical procedure, especially in an extensive wound, or in a complex trauma combined with vascular injury. From April 2014 to March 2018, we retrospectively reviewed patients with traumatic/post-traumatic, oncologic, and electrical wounds in the lower extremity. Those treated with muscle feeding artery as recipient vessels were included. The latissimus dorsi (LD) muscle free flap, anterior lateral thigh (ALT) perforator free flap, and deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) free flap were raised. The muscle feeding arteries to vastus lateral muscle and to medial head of gastrocnemius muscle, concomitant veins, and great saphenous vein were used as recipient vessels. Injuries included in the study were caused by tumour in 2 cases, car accident in 3 cases, crushing in 3 cases, burns in one case, and electrical injury in one case. The wound size varied from 14 cm × 6 cm to 30 cm × 20 cm. LD, ALT, and DIEP free flaps were used in 6, 3, and 4 patients, respectively. The muscle feeding arteries to medial head of gastrocnemius muscle, to sartorius muscle, and to vastus lateral muscle were used as recipient arteries in 4, 5, and one patient, respectively. Concomitant and great saphenous veins were used as recipient veins in 10 and 4 patients, respectively. Using the muscle feeding artery is feasible to avoid injury to the main artery and facilitate dissection and anastomoses, particularly when the wound is located proximal to the mid-third of the lower leg.
