managing particular femoropopliteal lesions, but no randomized com­parative data exist that demonstrate improved outcomes compared with conventional balloon angioplasty and stenting.
Atherectomy removes obstructive plaque and can be used in conjunction with angioplasty and stenting or as a stand-alone tech­nique (Figs. 5-4 and 5-6). Atherectomy devices can be divided into either excisional (removal of plaque) or ablative (disintegration or fragmentation of plaque). These devices provide the opportunity to reduce plaque volume, which may provide advantages in traditional “no-stent” zones (common femoral and popliteal artery) (Figs. 5-7 and
5-8), in lesions with bulky plaque (optimization of stent and/or balloon
expansion), and in complex lesions involving the bifurcation of vessels where plaque prolapse may compromise flow to an adjacent segment.
Technical Considerations
Selection of arterial access site (Table 5-5) for endovascular treatment of the femoropopliteal segment depends on lesion location, presence of concomitant iliac or infrapopliteal disease, patient-specific vari­ables, and operator proficiency. Most often, the preferred approach is retrograde access from the contralateral CFA, with advancement of a sheath over the iliac bifurcation. This strategy permits treatment of iliac artery disease and allows familiar access techniques to be used. The crossover approach may be hampered by inadequate length of interventional equipment if treatment of the infrapopliteal distribu­tion is required, as well as attenuation of one-to-one torque in cases with acute angulation of the iliac bifurcation. In the absence of iliac and CFA disease, for patients in whom infrapopliteal or distal

femoropopliteal disease is the target, an antegrade common femoral approach may be beneficial. “Straight-line” access and proximity of the access platform to lesion substrate improves wire torque and cath­eter manipulation. The benefits of antegrade access are attenuated by a higher risk of bleeding and the relatively greater degree of difficulty compared with retrograde femoral access. In cases of complex occlu­sion with bridging collaterals or in lesions recalcitrant to antegrade recanalization, retrograde access via the popliteal or pedal arteries may be considered. Transradial access is gaining popularity for iliac interventions; presently, however, in most patients, catheter lengths of 135 or 150 cm do not have adequate reach to treat diseased segments beyond the proximal or mid-superficial femoral artery.

Angiographic Technique
As in other vascular distributions, the use of DSA, a large flat-panel detector plate, and appropriate collimation optimizes image quality and reduces radiation exposure. The bifurcation of superficial and profunda femoris arteries is best visualized in 45-degree ipsilateral oblique angulation. Sometimes contralateral oblique imaging is helpful when imaging a suspected ostial SFA occlusion. The main course of the femoropopliteal artery is best imaged in a straight antero­posterior (AP) projection, or perhaps 15 to 30 degrees of ipsilateral oblique, in order to display the infrapopliteal trifurcation. Imaging of eccentric lesions may require tailored angulations. Baseline and pos­tintervention runoff angiography is recommended in order to exclude iatrogenic DE.
Femoropopliteal interventions are most often performed with UFH because it may be rapidly reversed if necessary. The optimal target activated clotting time (ACT) is between 250 and 300 seconds. Bivalirudin has been used with increasing frequency in endovas­cular interventions, but it is more expensive and not immediately reversible.
The particular technique used to cross a femoropopliteal stenosis depends on lesion, patient, and operator-specific parameters. Support catheters are commonly used in conjunction with 0.035-, 0.018-, or
0.014-inch guidewires. CTOs pose a unique challenge and may be addressed with a variety of techniques. In some lesions, it may be possible to pass a wire in an antegrade fashion through the occlusion from true lumen to true lumen; in other cases, a subintimal approach may be required, advancing a prolapsed or “knuckled” wire in the subintimal plane parallel to the reconstituted lumen and then reenter­ing the true lumen using an angled wire or a dedicated CTO reentry device. The overall success rate of crossing even complex lesions (TASC C and D) is approximately 85% to 95% among experienced operators.
Complications of Femoropopliteal Endovascular Interventions
Because DE may occur during interventional procedures, many advo­cate the use of distal embolic protection strategies in cases with only one-vessel infrapopliteal runoff, particularly in the context of CLI. If DE is obser ved, treatment options may include mechanical or rheo­lytic thrombectomy, balloon inflation, stent placement, and occasion­ally surgical embolectomy. Evaluate the possibility of DE before and after every femoropopliteal intervention with comprehensive runoff angiography.
During balloon inflations, stent placement, or atherectomy, the creation of AV fistulae is not uncommon. Large AV fistulae can be

lead to compartment syndrome if not treated quickly. Most wire per­forations can be managed conservatively, whereas larger perforations must be immediately treated with balloon tamponade. Prolonged balloon inflations (5 to 10 minutes) with or without reversal of heparin can seal most perforations. If this fails, consider placement of a PTFE stent graft (Viabahn stent) with possible surgical referral. Overall, most such complications can be treated percutaneously.

Infrapopliteal Interventions
Disease involving the infrapopliteal vessels may be highly variable in its anatomic features, response to conventional endovascular tech­niques, and clinical importance to the patient. In addition, advanced stages of the disease, including CLI, have been managed historically by surgery. Significant controversy remains regarding the optimal man­agement of patients with infrapopliteal disease. The term infrapopliteal refers to vessels that include the anterior tibial (AT); tibioperoneal trunk; PTA; peroneal, medial, and lateral plantars; and metatarsal arch arteries. These vessels are relatively small in caliber and are often diffusely diseased or occluded. These anatomic features render them recalcitrant to endovascular techniques, but technology break­throughs have improved outcomes. Such breakthroughs include the development of improved guidewire technology that permits crossing of long CTOs; long, low-profile angioplasty balloons that minimize the development of luminal disruption or dissection even when treating very long CTOs; increased operator familiarity and dexterity with transpedal access and “retrograde wire” techniques to cross CTO seg­ments where antegrade crossing was unsuccessful; and the future promise of drug-eluting therapies to reduce restenosis following suc­cessful endovascular treatment.
In contrast to patients with iliac and femoropopliteal disease, for whom the majority of endovascular treatments are performed to relieve claudication, those with infrapopliteal disease typically undergo revascularization only for advanced clinical stages of disease, such as CLI. Such patients often present with rest pain and/or tissue breakdown and ulceration (Rutherford IV to VI) due to arterial insuf­ficiency. The technical and therapeutic goal in patients with CLI due to infrapopliteal disease is to reestablish “straight-line” pulsatile blood flow to the foot (see Fig. 5-3), specifically the region of the foot supplied by one particular infrapopliteal vessel. It has been demon­strated that restoring perfusion to the affected angiosome (Fig. 5-9) is more effective than restoration of indirect flow through a different infrapopliteal vessel that does not directly perfuse the ulcerated territory.
Although endovascular treatment of infrapopliteal disease has high rates of restenosis, the temporary reestablishment of pulsatile flow to the foot is often sufficient to promote wound healing. Even if restenosis of the treated segments occurs, the impact of wound healing and limb salvage may remain durable. As a result, this treatment para­digm for CLI has evolved: Reestablish “straight-line flow” to the foot (even if long-term patency is limited), because this may have profound impact on wound healing and limb salvage.
Technical Considerations
In many ways, the technical approach to infrapopliteal disease mirrors strategies perfected in the coronary distribution with arteries of similar

caliber. The majority of interventions is performed using 0.014-inch wires, low-profile angioplasty balloons, occasional use of atherectomy techniques, and—in rare cases of highly recalcitrant stenosis or flow­limiting dissection—coronary stent systems, including drug-eluting stents.
In cases of pure infrapopliteal disease, antegrade arterial access from the ipsilateral CFA may provide the most effective platform for intervention. Delivery of a long sheath to the distal popliteal artery may limit contrast use and permits excellent wire torque and catheter handling through these complex segments. Ipsilateral retrograde, or transpedal, access is gaining popularity, because it provides opportu­nity to address lesions where the proximal cap of a CTO may not readily be traversed in an antegrade fashion. Take care when access­ing the dorsalis pedis or PTAs, however, because disruption of these vessels may compromise the only remaining “outflow” to the foot. Although beyond the scope of this chapter, pedal access is often obtained using smaller needle/wire systems (e.g., micropuncture) and mimics radial access. When used in conjunction with an antegrade femoral sheath, a small caliber wire is advanced—often through a microcatheter system—from the transpedal access site and is then snared and externalized from the femoral access point, permitting the rest of the intervention to be performed in antegrade fashion. At the conclusion of the procedure, the microcatheter is removed from the transpedal access site with manual compression, taking care to monitor pedal vessel patency.
Debulking strategies (such as atherectomy, rotational atherec­tomy, orbital atherectomy, laser atherotomy and cutting balloon atherotomy) may have niche-specific application for infrapopliteal disease. Indications may include removal of plaque from a complex bifurcating segment to prevent tissue prolapse or compromise of an adjacent vessel; desire to reduce likelihood of dissection in a no-stent zone; and reduction of the burden of calcified plaque that may be recalcitrant to conventional PTAs. Outcomes of debulking strategies have not been compared to PTAs in rigorous randomized-controlled

fashion. Take care to protect against DE with any intervention, espe­cially debulking strategies that have a higher incidence of DE.
Peripheral Arterial Disease and Angiography
Acute Limb Ischemia
Rarely, patients with PAD may present with acute limb ischemia (ALI). Cardinal manifestations of ALI are characterized by the “six Ps”: pain, pallor, pulselesssness, paresthesia, paralysis, and poikilothermia (coolness). ALI should be addressed with urgency, such as with that of acute myocardial infraction, and it has been classified by presenting symptoms (Table 5-6). ALI is the “heart attack equivalent in the leg.” In the absence of reperfusion, permanent impairment of neurologic and motor function may occur within 6 hours. Upon identification of ALI, initiate heparin infusion immediately and implement plans for urgent revascularization. ALI often results from acute arterial emboli­zation and is often due to a cardioembolic event in the context of atrial fibrillation, from a hypercoagulable state, or artery-to-artery embolus from a more proximal aneurysm. Acute stent or graft thrombosis may also lead to ALI.
Immediately consider surgical or catheter-based therapy. Invasive angiography followed by either catheter-directed thrombolysis with tissue-plasminogen activator or mechanical/rheolytic thrombectomy is often performed. Technological advances now permit “pulse spray thrombolysis,” wherein the clot is sprayed with a thrombolytic agent that is permitted to dwell for 20 to 60 minutes, and rheolytic throm­bectomy is then performed. In some centers, surgical thrombectomy is performed as initial therapy, and if this fails, surgical bypass occurs. Regardless of revascularization approach, all patients must be moni­tored postrevascularization for the development of compartment syn­drome, which can result from hyperemic tissue swelling. In severe cases, swelling—constrained within the fascial compartments of the leg—may lead to permanent nerve injury with sensory and motor loss if surgical fasciotomy is not performed. This underscores the need for collaboration between specialists with endovascular skills and those with open surgical skills for the treatment of patients with ALI.
Renal Artery Disease
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is widely prevalent and confers a risk for adverse events both in terms of organ-specific as well systemic vascu­lar outcomes. The presence of RAS is commonly identified at the time of coronary angiography. In five studies involving 2178 patients under­going coronary angiography, concomitant renal angiography identi­fied more than 50% RAS in 19% of the patients, 17.4% of which was bilateral; more than 75% stenosis was identified in 4.8% of these patients, 0.8% of which was bilateral.
Atherosclerosis represents the most common etiologic factor in RAS. For patients identified to have severe RAS, nearly 15% will prog­ress to total occlusion; if the RAS is bilateral, this may lead to dialysis­dependent ESRD. The presence and severity of atherosclerotic disease in the renal arteries may serve as an indicator of the severity of sys­temic atherosclerosis and, therefore, the overall risk of adverse cardio­vascular events. A linear relationship has been identified between the severity of RAS and mortality.
Three key categories of clinical findings may indicate the pres­ence of RAS (Box 5-3): (1) presence of drug-resistant HTN (requiring the administration of four antihypertensive medications including a diuretic) or the abrupt onset, marked acceleration, or presence of malignant HTN; (2) organ-specific manifestations including the pres­ence of an atrophic kidney (< (>1.5 cm), or unexplained renal failure following administration of
7 to 8 cm), discrepancy in renal sizes

Although atherosclerosis comprises nearly 90% of all cases of RAS, vasculitis and fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) may also involve the renal artery and may produce a stenosis. Atherosclerotic stenosis lesions typically involve the aorta surrounding the renal artery ostium, the ostium itself, and the proximal third of the main renal artery. FMD usually involves the distal two-thirds of the main renal artery or its branches. Vasculitides (involving medium vessel, such as polyarteritis nodosa) impact the entire vessel. FMD should be suspected in indi­viduals with early-onset HTN below the age of 30, particularly in females.
Noninvasive Testing
Patients clinically suspected to have RAS should be referred for non­invasive assessment. Currently, the most effective modalities to screen for RAS include renal duplex ultrasound (RADUS), MRA, and CTA (Table 5-7). The sensitivity and specificity of RADUS are both techni­cian and reader dependent; but, when effectively performed, the
https://t.me/med1917
studies provide anatomic and functional data including renal size, echogenicity of the renal cortex, and insight into the microvascular disease state including the renal resistive index (RI). The renal RI, calculated by the formula RI = peak systolic velocity (PSV) – end­diastolic velocity (EDV)/PSV or 1 – (EDV/maximal systolic velocity) × 100, indicates the severity of microvascular renal resistance and has been used to predict whether revascularization of the main renal artery will confer benefit. The appropriate “cutoff” value and the utility of using the RI calculation remain controversial. RADUS may offer valuable anatomic and physiologic information following renal artery stenting and is the preferred methodology for poststent surveillance.
CTA and MRA may also be highly effective strategies to image the renal arteries, but they carry significant limitations. CTA requires the administration of potentially nephrotoxic iodinated contrast, exposes patients to radiation, and may not effectively discriminate extravascu­lar calcium from intraluminal stenosis. MRA frequently overestimates the degree of RAS, and—when performed using gadolinium—may confer a risk for nephrogenic systemic sclerosis in patients with advanced renal disease. Recent developments in MRA technique provide the opportunity for imaging vascular territories without the use of gadolinium but are not yet widely available. Captopril renal artery scintigraphy may have specific utility in identifying patients with unilateral RAS but is not effective in patients with abnormal GFR and is therefore not recommended. Measurement of plasma renin levels is not typically pursued, because elevated levels are neither a specific nor sensitive indicator of renovascular HTN.

Catheter-Based Angiography
Catheter-based renal angiography remains the gold standard for imaging renal arteries and may be required to establish the diagnosis of RAS when noninvasive findings are ambiguous. Catheter-based angiography has a low rate of complications, but careful technique must be employed to reduce the risks of atheroembolization, contrast­related nephropathy, and vascular complications. Although retrograde femoral access is most commonly employed, a brachial or radial approach may be easier in circumstances where the renal artery origin is angulated downward, as may commonly be the case. Acute angula­tion of the renal artery origin may require specialized catheters for effective engagement. Nonselective angiography of the renal arteries is often performed by placing a pigtail, omniflush, tennis racket, or universal catheter in the abdominal aorta at the level of T12/L1, using a power injection of dilute iodinated contrast and DSA. Nonselective imaging identifies the location and number of renal arteries and may provide critical insight into the disease status of the aorta, particularly if complex protruding atherosclerotic lesions are imperative to avoid during catheter manipulation. A slight left anterior oblique (LAO) pro­jection (10 to 20 degrees) may provide the best orthogonal image of the renal artery ostia, limiting overlap with the aorta. Alternative angio­graphic techniques include the use of carbon dioxide or gadolinium as the contrast agent.
Selective renal arterial cannulation and angiographic imaging provide the greatest amount of detail. Using an LAO 10- to 20-degree projection may enable cannulation and optimal imaging of both renal artery ostia in 75% of cases. The most appropriate catheter for selective renal artery angiography depends on anatomic features in the vessel. Soft-tipped atraumatic catheters and guidewires may reduce the risk of vascular complications. Commonly used catheters include the inter­nal mammary (IMA), JR4, cobra, renal double curve, hockey stick, multipurpose, or SOS Omni. When brachial access is used for a down­ward angulated renal artery, advance a 6- to 7-F, 90-cm long vascular sheath (Shuttle, Raabe, Balkan, or Ansel; Cook Medical, Bloomington,
