EClinicalMedicine 2024; 68:102410. [PMID: 38273891 PMCID: PMC10809069 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2023.102410] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Ankle brachial pressure index can be estimated (eABPI) using cuffless ankle Doppler ultrasound. We evaluated the prognostic value of eABPI measured during pre- and post-procedural ultrasound exams to predict the clinical outcome after endovascular revascularisations. Methods In this prospective, single-centre, service evaluation, consecutive patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease undergoing lower limb endovascular revascularisations between July, 26 2018 and January, 13 2022 at Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust (Redhill, UK) were analysed. eABPI was determined using the higher acceleration index measured with angle-corrected duplex ultrasound in ankle arteries before and ≤1 month post-procedure. Clinical outcomes (mortality, major amputations, amputation-free survival [AFS], clinically driven target lesion revascularization [cdTLR], major adverse limb events [MALE; cdTLR and major amputation], wound healing) were assessed over 1 year. Findings Of 246 patients treated, for 219 patients (median 75 [IQR 66-83] years) pre- and post-procedural eABPI (0.50 [0.33-0.59] and 0.90 [0.69-1.0], p < 0.0001) were available, respectively. In n = 199 patients with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) Kaplan-Meier survival analyses showed that higher post-procedural, but not pre-procedural, eABPI was associated with favourable AFS, MALE, cdTLR, and wound healing. This was confirmed in Cox regression analysis and remained significant with adjustment for pre-procedural eABPI, age, sex, co-morbidities, treated levels, wound score, and foot infection. Whereas all clinical outcomes, except for survival, were significantly better at ≥0.7 vs <0.7, wound healing (unadjusted: HR 1.7 (95% CI 1.2-2.6), adjusted: HR 2.1 (95% CI 1.3-3.1), cdTLR, and MALE (unadjusted: HR 0.41 (95% CI 0.18-0.93), adjusted: HR 0.28 (95% CI 0.11-0.74) were significantly improved at ≥0.9 vs <0.9. Interpretation Post-procedural eABPI can provide valid, clinically important prognostic and predictive information. Our data indicate that revascularisations should target values of at least 0.9 to achieve optimal outcomes. Future studies need to confirm generalisability and cost-effectiveness in a wider context.

Drug-Coated Balloon Angioplasty of Infrapopliteal Lesions in Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia: Six-month Outcomes of PRIME-WIFI. J Endovasc Ther 2023:15266028231208646.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate 6-month outcomes of drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty of infrapopliteal lesions in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). METHODS We analyzed 6-month follow-up data from the 10-center PRIME-WIFI prospective registry on 300 consecutive patients (33.000% female) with CLTI who underwent DCB angioplasty for infrapopliteal arterial lesions. The primary outcome was freedom from major adverse event (MAE), a composite of major amputation, all-cause death, and clinically-driven target limb reintervention (CD-TLR). Secondary outcomes included amputation-free survival (AFS), freedom from each primary outcome component, primary sustained clinical improvement, and quality of life (QOL) score. Independent risk factors of MAE were determined using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 409 infrapopliteal lesions in 312 limbs were treated with DCB, with 54.167% of the limbs being treated for isolated infrapopliteal lesions. By Kaplan-Meier analysis, at 6 months post- procedure (follow-up rate, 85.000%), freedom from MAE was 86.353%; AFS was 90.318%; and freedom from major amputation, all-cause death, and CD-TLR were 96.429%, 93.480%, and 95.079%, respectively. At 6-month follow-up, 83.590% of patients showed primary sustained clinical improvement, and QOL score (4.902±1.388) improved compared with that before procedure (2.327±1.109; p<0.001). Chronic renal insufficiency, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Rutherford grade, and postoperative infrapopliteal runoff score were independent risk factors for MAE within 6 months. CONCLUSION In CLTI, DCB angioplasty of infrapopliteal lesions yields acceptable early efficacy and safety. CLINICAL IMPACT This study evaluated the 6-month outcomes of DCB angioplasty in infrapopliteal lesions in CLTI patients by analyzing multicenter prospective data, showing that infrapopliteal DCB angioplasty can be performed with acceptable freedom from MAE rate, amputation-free survival rate, freedom from major amputation rate, survival rate, and freedom from CD-TLR rate. No patient experienced DCB-related intraoperative distal embolism. Chronic renal insufficiency, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Rutherford grade and postoperative infrapopliteal runoff score were independent risk factors for MAE within 6 months. Comparative real-world studies are needed.

Sex-Based Differences in Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes among Patients with Peripheral Artery Disease: A Retrospective Analysis. J Clin Med 2023; 12:5094. [PMID: 37568498 PMCID: PMC10420161 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12155094] [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: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a prevalent medical condition associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. Despite the high clinical burden, sex-based differences among PAD patients are not well defined yet, in contrast to other atherosclerotic diseases. This study aimed to describe sex-based differences in clinical characteristics and outcomes among hospitalized patients affected by PAD. This was a retrospective study evaluating all patients with a diagnosis of PAD admitted to the Emergency Department from 1 December 2013 to 31 December 2021. The primary endpoint of the study was the difference between male and female PAD patients in cumulative occurrence of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACEs) and Major Adverse Limb Events. A total of 1640 patients were enrolled. Among them, 1103 (67.3%) were males while females were significantly older (median age of 75 years vs. 71 years; p =< 0.001). Females underwent more angioplasty treatments for revascularization than men (29.8% vs. 25.6%; p = 0.04); males were treated with more amputations (19.9% vs. 15.3%; p = 0.012). A trend toward more MALEs and MACEs reported in the male group did not reach statistical significance (OR 1.27 [0.99-1.64]; p = 0.059) (OR 0.75 [0.50-1.11]; p = 0.153). However, despite lower extremity PAD severity seeming similar between the two sexes, among these patients males had a higher probability of undergoing lower limb amputations, of cardiovascular death and of myocardial infarction. Among hospitalized patients affected by PAD, even if there was not a sex-based significant difference in the incidence of MALEs and MACEs, adverse clinical outcomes were more common in males.
