advantages of angiography are that it still provides the high­est resolution of small branches and provides an opportunity for single-stage evaluation combined with immediate treat­ment if needed.

Conventional Therapy

Medical treatment of PAD is aimed toward risk factor modi­cation and pharmacologic therapy. Patients with atheroscle­rosis should undergo smoking cessation, exercise programs, and diet modication. Pharmacologic interventions include antiplatelet therapy (aspirin, clopidogrel), lipid-lowering agents (statins, brates, niacin), antihypertensives (ACE

inhibitors [18], thiazides, calcium channel blockers, etc.), and cilostazol [2].
Surgical treatment of lower extremity PAD includes atherectomy, arterial bypass, and amputation. Bypass allows many different anatomic congurations and uses either autologous vein grafts (typically saphenous vein), CryoVein, or synthetic grafts. There are longer patency rates overall with autologous saphenous vein grafts versus synthetic. However, this approach has an overall higher morbidity rate and longer recovery time than an endovascular approach [13]. Less than 2% of patients with lower extremity PAD require amputation which is the last resort in treatment and typically necessitated by overwhelming infection, poor heal­ing potential, or factors related to quality of life [1].

Interventional Therapy

While the eld of IR began by using balloon angioplasty to treat a lower extremity arterial stenosis, much debate remains around the techniques and indications of an endovascular approach. The TASC II (Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus) guidelines (Table 31.4) provide a starting point for deciding between surgical and endovascular treatment.
The approach for treatment of femoral and below-the-knee vascular disease is very different, and therefore separate guidelines have been established for supra- and infrainguinal disease. Although TASC II is outdated, it provides a general guideline to endovascular rst versus surgery rst for femo­ral disease. At this time, there is no substantial data to com­pare surgical versus endovascular repair for infrapopliteal lesions [1]. Nonetheless, IR techniques for the treatment of lower extremity PAD remain on the forefront of advances in treating infrainguinal disease.
Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty
The classic, initial treatment for most atherosclerotic lesions is percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) [19]. Angioplasty should be reserved for hemodynamically signicant lesions, which are typically classied as those with greater than 50% luminal stenosis [20]. Balloon dilatation is done via an ipsilat­eral or contralateral common femoral arterial access. An ante­grade, ipsilateral approach, allows more technical ease for PTA without tension created by bending the guidewire and catheter over the femoral bifurcation as is required for the contralateral femoral (retrograde) approach. However, due to increasing obesity rates, this technique can present increased difculty with hemostasis after the procedure, and a contralateral “up and over” approach is more common [21].

treated by, endovascular means
B Sufciently good results with endovascular
methods that this approach is still preferred rst, unless an open revascularization is required for other associated lesions in the same anatomic area

with open revascularization that endovascular methods should be used only in patients with high risk for open repair
D Do not yield good enough results with
endovascular methods to justify them as primary treatment
Single stenosis <10cm in length Single occlusion <5cm in length Multiple lesions (stenoses or occlusions), each <5cm Single stenosis or occlusion <15cm not involving the infrageniculate popliteal artery Single or multiple lesions in the absence of continuous tibial vessels to improve inow for a distal bypass Heavily calcied occlusion <5cm in length Single popliteal stenosis Multiple stenoses or occlusions totaling >15cm with or without heavy calcications Recurrent stenoses or occlusions that need treatment after two endovascular interventions
Chronic total occlusions of CFA or SFA (>20cm, involving the popliteal artery) Chronic total occlusions of popliteal artery and proximal trifurcation vessels
Key Point
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is reserved for luminal stenosis >50%.

The How To: Angioplasty and Stenting
1. Ipsilateral antegrade or contralateral retrograde access is obtained in the common femoral artery using the Seldinger approach. Proximal SFA lesions are best treated from a contralateral approach, while distal tibial lesions may be better accessed from an ipsilateral antegrade femoral approach.
2. An angiogram will be performed sequentially of the lower extremity of interest prior to intervention.
before any therapy.
3. A guidewire and catheter combination is directed through the affected artery segment, and contrast is
successful crossing of the lesion.
4. An angioplasty balloon is then directed over the

Stents
If angioplasty yields poor results, greater than 30% residual stenosis, stenting is the next tool for treatment of hemody­namically signicant infrainguinal atherosclerosis (Fig.31.6). For TASC A and B lesions, stenting boasts a lon­ger patency rate than PTA alone. Stents used in the leg are typically self-expanding to combat the massive external compressive force of the lower extremity musculature. Bare metal stents are usually made of a nickel-titanium alloy called nitinol but are prone to failure due to intimal hyperpla­sia. Stent grafts are typically a nitinol stent lined with fabric or polymer (e.g., expanded polytetrauoroethylene) and heparin for longer-term patency [26]. Most stents are deliv­ered to the lesion compressed within a deployment catheter, which is advanced to the stenotic segment over a guidewire for deployment. Drug-coated stents, similar to drug-coated balloons, decrease the formation of intimal hyperplasia.

lesions receive vessel preparation with a cutting bal­loon or an atherectomy device.
5. Post-angioplasty angiogram is then performed to assess for improvement in stenosis as well as for the disappearance of collateral vessels with a more pat-
6. When applicable, a self-expanding stent is deployed in the area of stenosis.
Despite a 95% technical success rate for femoropopliteal stenoses, PTA provides poor overall prevention of re-steno­sis [14, 22]. In comparison to surgical bypass, PTA results in a shorter hospital stay, decreased short-term morbidity, and is much less expensive [23].
Drug-coated balloons (DCB) are an important advance­ment in maintaining vessel patency after a successful PTA. DCBs locally administer an anti-proliferative agent, such as paclitaxel, to the lesion which reduces intimal hyperplasia that causes re-stenosis. This is an area of ongoing research, but the introduction of DCBs demonstrate a reduced rate of restenosis requiring revascularization [24, 25]. Other varia­tions of PTA exist, including cutting balloons. Cutting bal­loons have small metal wires or even microblades, which expand with the balloon during insufation and make inci­sions in the atheroma to aid expansion and prevent lesion recoil. These are part of an evolving concept of vessel prepa­ration aimed at allowing a PTA balloon to more completely open the infrainguinal arteries [14].
As the degree of atherosclerosis worsens, the lumen of a lower extremity artery may become completely occluded. As atherosclerosis gradually occludes an artery, the formation of collateral vessels to supply the distal lower extremity will increase. These collateral vessels rarely provide sufcient blood supply, and the patient experiences the symptoms of PAD including critical ischemia and the threat of tissue loss. Some chronic total occlusions (CTO) may be traversed in a true lumen fashion to a distal, patent artery with various hydrophilic tip guidewires. The utilization of the hydrophilic tip aids in navigation through “microchannels” found in CTOs. In addition, there are a number of support catheters that may be used and offer a hydrophilically coated, exible, braided shaft with a low-prole tip to increase the chance of passing through the chronically occluded vessel.
If crossing a heavily calcied, long-segment CTO fails, a false lumen or subintimal approach may be possible. The adventitia of an artery receives blood supply from the exter­nal vasa vasorum, and the intima and media receive nutrition internally via intimal diffusion. As chronic atherosclerotic lesions occlude the distal blood ow, intimal diffusion is occluded, which decreases the viability of the intimal-medial interface. This interface, the subintimal space, is prone to dissection and is the plane used by surgeons during an endar­terectomy. When attempting to cross a CTO, the subintimal space may be entered with a guidewire. This is capitalized upon by some interventional radiologists, who use the subin­timal space to create a false lumen recanalization of an

occluded artery segment [27, 28]. An antegrade approach to subintimal recanalization of an occluded arterial segment requires reentry into the true lumen distal to the occlusion, which can be extremely challenging.
In cases of difcult true lumen reentry distal to the dis­eased segment, a reentry device may be used to facilitate guidewire passage from false lumen back to the true lumen. There are several reentry devices available which use uo­roscopy or intravascular ultrasound to guide a short needle and then wire being advanced from the false lumen to true lumen. If advanced reentry techniques fail, retrograde arte­rial access may be considered to create an entry point into the subintimal space distal to the diseased segment that later becomes the reentry point for the antegrade dissection. This technique is called subintimal arterial ossing with antegrade- retrograde intervention (SAFARI) and can have many variants (Fig.31.7).

The How To: SAFARI
1. See steps 1–3 above. If the vessel cannot be crossed in an antegrade fashion, the retrograde approach may allow the operator to get through and through access across the lesion.
2. After achieving retrograde access into the popliteal artery or a tibial artery, intraluminal recanalization via the retrograde access may occasionally be suc­cessful. However, frequently retrograde subintimal recanalization is necessary.
3. A hydrophilic guidewire and a crossing catheter may be advantageous for creating the distal entry into the subintimal space.
4. Frequently, both retrograde and antegrade wires will often be in the same subintimal plane, and with the aid of a loop snare, a single through and through
the retrograde wire can often be advanced directly through the end hole of the antegrade catheter in the subintimal space without the need for the loop snare.
the wires may be in different, noncommunicating subintimal spaces, and advanced techniques will be necessary to achieve a single wire through the segment to be treated.
5. Once a connection is made between the proximal true lumen, via the subintimal space across the diseased artery segment, and the patent distal true lumen, this single wire is then used as a new track over which to perform angioplasty and place stents in the novel lumen [19, 29].

Criteria for performing SAFARI include severe medical comorbidities causing considerable surgical risk, absence of a suitable vein conduit, tissue loss in the eld of a potential arte­rial surgical bypass, and favorable subinimtal recanalization anatomy including a patent distal tibial artery that supplies a
patent pedal artery [30]. A subintimal approach carries the risk of arterial injury at the puncture site in the lower leg, creating and propagating an arterial dissection distally and excluding branch vessels [19].

Key Point
Criteria for performing SAFARI:
• Considerable surgical risk
• Absence of a suitable vein conduit
• Tissue loss in the eld of potential artery surgical bypass
• Patent distal tibial artery supplying a patent pedal artery
Acute Limb Ischemia
Acute limb ischemia (ALI) is a true emergency for surgeons and interventional radiologists, which must be recognized promptly, as irreversible cell death occurs after 4h of com­plete occlusion. Patients with ALI should immediately be placed on heparin infusion to prevent further thrombus prop­agation. The main deciding factors determining if a patient should be rushed to the operating room versus angiography suite depends on the symptoms. Patients with complete paralysis and sensory loss should be taken for open throm­bectomy and surgical exploration with likely concurrent fas­ciotomies. Patients with muscle weakness but not paralysis and some sensory decit but not anesthesia are candidates for endovascular treatment [13]. Techniques for ALI include pharmacological thrombolysis (direct infusion of tPA), mechanical thrombectomy with various devices designed to break down the clot, and aspiration thrombectomy.
Key Point
For patients with acute limb ischemia, therapeutic hep­arin should be started immediately.
Treatment of infrainguinal peripheral vascular disease is complex and can involve a variety of disease process, clini­cal presentations, and treatment options. The interventional­ist should be well-versed in the clinical management of and advanced treatment techniques for this patient population.
