• Finally, rotational atherectomy is often suc­cessful in this space as well.
6.20.3 Soft Plaque
Soft plaque and intraluminal thrombus represent a unique challenge for even the most skilled oper­ator. Distal embolization is a constant intraproce­dural risk that only increases with passage of each wire or device. Atherectomy in this scenario can potentially increase this risk when the wrong device is chosen.
• Devices that actively aspirate in addition to plaque modication perform well in this space.
• Rotarex combines an aggressive rotational mechanism combined with the ability to draw debris and soft plaque thrombus into an attached receptacle. The benets increase when the 8-Fr device is used, though its application is limited by vessel diameter [329].
• Jetstream works well here as well, but often necessitates the use of distal embolic protection.
• Laser may occasionally be applied here, espe­cially if there is soft thrombus.
• Orbital atherectomy is often avoided here due to the relative high risk of embolic complications.
The decision to utilize any atherectomy device
in the popliteal artery should be made with careful consideration. Kinetic forces make this vascular bed challenging even for the most experienced proceduralist. The choice of atherectomy device is important to allow for efcient vessel preparation which in turn lays the foundation for a durable result. Many tools exist that can assess disease morphology, but real-time ultrasound interrogation can provide valuable detailed information and help guide device selection. Based on ndings from EVUS/IVUS, the skilled technician is better equipped to tackle a wide variety of disease mor­phologies while limiting the risk of complications like vessel occlusion or distal embolization.

the knee are limited and the evidence base to sup­port its routine use is even more limited. While there are large data sets supporting atherectomy in the tibial vessels, including a recently pub­lished study of over 36,000 patients showing excellent limb salvage rate and lower 4-year mor­tality with use of atherectomy in conjunction with angioplasty, other studies have not produced the same conclusion [331].
• The published data on use of atherectomy as adjunctive therapy in the below ankle levels are even more sparse.
• A PubMed search of “below-the-ankle ather­ectomy” yields only one single-center, retro­spective study. In this study by Palena, 317 patients with diabetes and CLI underwent orbital atherectomy plus drug-coated balloon angioplasty. Patients were followed at 30days and 6 months. The limb salvage rate was 100% at 6 months with an amputation-free survival (AFS) of 50% at 6months. No major amputations and six minor amputations were noted at 6 months. Freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization (fCDTLR) was 100% at 30days and 91.7% at six months. There were no major adverse car­diovascular or limb events (MACE/MALE) and no evidence of perforation, dissection, or embolization [332].
Considerations regarding use of atherectomy in
the below-the-ankle vessels revolve around deliv­erability and safety. The prole of certain FDA­approved atherectomy devices likely preclude their delivery into these vessels that are typically less than 3 mm. The lowest prole atherectomy devices are the Nexcimer Laser System (Philips, Amsterdam, Netherlands), the Auryon Laser System (AngioDynamics, Latham, NY), the Rotablator (Boston Scientic, Maple Grove, MN), and the Stealth 360 orbital atherectomy system (Cardiovascular Systems Inc., St. Paul, MN). Beyond and perhaps more important than deliver­ability, however, is the safety of these devices in this arterial segment; to date, peer- reviewed publi-
cations have not established their safety other than the one small study noted above. It is worth noting that these data were produced at a center that is well known for its technical expertise and out­standing clinical outcomes. The applicability of this approach on a broader scale and the reproduc­ibility of its clinical efcacy remain uncertain.
Consideration of adjunctive atherectomy in the below ankle/pedal vessels, as in the Palena study, is typically performed in those patients in whom crossing of a standard balloon catheter is not successful. The inability to cross with a low­prole balloon suggests that the atherosclerotic burden, particularly calcication, is extensive which is known to be associated with poor angio­plasty results due to recoil and dissection. Since stenting through this area is neither recommended nor proven, and with no approved scaffolds/stents for this segment, optimal angioplasty is desired and debulking these lesions may indeed make intuitive sense.
When performing atherectomy in these ves­sels, methodical attention to detail is paramount. Complications in this area can be devastating and potentially limb-threatening.
• The idea of using one of these devices just
because it can be delivered to the target vessel
does not mean that it should be done.
• A slow cadence is used with laser systems.
• With orbital/rotational systems, low speed is
used. Without a denable endpoint, knowing
when to stop is critical.
• Negotiating these devices through the pedal
arch has resulted in well-known cases of get-
ting them stuck and requiring surgical
removal.
• Remembering that below-the-ankle atherec-
tomy is adjunctive therapy in order to opti-
mize angioplasty is the key to safety.

6.22 What Is My Endpoint
onAngiogram?
AbhishekKumar
An estimated 150,000 amputations occur due to critical limb ischemia (CLI) in the United States each year, with a large number of primary ampu­tations being performed without diagnostic angio­grams and attempts at revascularization [336]. In 2016, the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology released a Class I recom­mendation stating that an evaluation for revascu­larization options should be considered with
tally (c). Completion angiogram of the foot shows three­vessel runoff at the ankle with now an intact pedal loop (d)
imaging or an angiogram prior to amputation [337]. More recently, the CLI global society pub- lished an expert recommendation statement rec­ommending use of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for evaluation of revascularization in patients with CLI prior to amputation [338]. The primary goal of revascularization is to improve wound perfusion to allow healing. Equally impor­tant is tissue perfusion when an amputation is per­formed. While considerable debate still exists on angiographic endpoints for endovascular therapy, an understanding of angiographic patterns needed for successful healing of amputation levels is nec­essary for the endovascular specialist.
1. Toe Amputation Versus Trans-Metatarsal Amputation (TMA):
A wound blush (WB) on angiogram after revascularization has been associated with high rates of wound healing [339]. For heal­ing of toe or partial ray amputations, it is usu­ally necessary to have a patent pedal arch and sufcient angiographic perfusion to the wound. Figure6.88 illustrates a poorly heal­ing partial ray amputation that healed after successful tibial revascularization.

Healing at a TMA requires patency of one or more infrapopliteal vessels with inline ow to the foot. A patent pedal arch has been asso­ciated with higher rates of healing after TMAs. When possible, a patent pedal arch is desirable. Figure 6.89 illustrates an angio­gram with ample supply to heal a TMA.
2. Symes: A symes amputation or an ankle disarticu-
lation is an alternative to below-knee amputa­tion. Advantages include a more comfortable stump and a more functional gait. Studies have shown that compared to BKA or AKA, the symes amputation results in decreased morbidity, early weight bearing without the need for gait training, and a better gait pattern.
A patent posterior tibial artery is necessary
for healing of a symes amputation.
3. Above-knee vs below-knee amputation (AKA
vs BKA).
A BKA is a transtibial amputation that
involves removing the foot, ankle joint, and
205
distal tibia and bula with related soft tissue structures. It is preferred over an AKA because it has better functional and long-term outcomes. A popliteal artery pressure of 50 mmhg is considered adequate for healing a BKA [340].
On angiography, occlusion of the distal supercial femoral and popliteal artery is usu­ally an indication that a BKA would be dif­cult to heal.
6.23 Orphan Heel
FarnazDadrass and SreekumarMadassery
6.23.1 Introduction
Heel ulcers are commonly seen in PAD patients with diabetes. These are frequently the result of trauma from constant pressure in the setting of ischemia and/or neuropathy. Heel ischemia results from disease of the posterior tibial and peroneal arteries, with a subset of these patients being diagnosed with orphan heel syndrome. Orphan heel syndrome (OHS) is dened as an ischemic heel ulcer seen with a compilation of three disease processes that result in a character­istic pathological triad of:
1. Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus.
2. Chronic kidney disease/renal failure.
3. Occlusive PAD of the peroneal artery and posterior tibial artery.
These ulcers are notoriously difcult to treat, likely due to arterial insufciency, neuropathy, high levels of inammation, decreased expres­sion of various growth factors and increased apoptosis [341]. This compartmentalization of the blood ow to the heel becomes compromised, resulting in ischemia. Orphan heel syndrome is also difcult to diagnose as conventional mea­sures can be misleading. The angiosome-based model of revascularization is often used to target the ischemic areas and has been shown to be effective [342344]. The calcaneal branch of the

Fig. 6.90 This gure is a representation of the angio­some concept. Reproduced from Iida etal. [343]. There are six angiosomes total in the foot, broken down into dif­ferent coloring perangiosome. The three source arteries that feed the six angiosomes include the anterior tibial artery (ATA), posterior tibial artery (PTA), and peroneal artery (PA). The ATA supplies the dorsalis pedis artery

(DPA), which supplies the dorsum of the foot. The PTA has three branches: the medial plantar artery to the medial sole of the foot, the lateral plantar artery to the lateral mid­foot, and the forefoot calcaneal branch to the heel. The PA branches off into the anterior perforating branch of the PA, which supplies the lateral border of the ankle and the calcaneal branch which supplies the outside of the heel
Peroneal
posterior tibial artery (PTA) supplies the heel. The calcaneal branch of the peroneal artery (PA) also supplies the heel (Fig.6.90).
Multiple collaterals exist between the tibial arteries and their branches to supply all six angio­somes, as a protective measure should one of the arteries become compromised. These arterial– arterial connections are referred to as “choke ves­sels.” Occlusion of a main source artery frequently changes angiosome locations for patients with PAD [345]. Compensation with collateral vessels allow for this process to take place in chronic ischemic patients rather than acute limb patients as “choke vessels” require four to ten days to become patent after an ischemic event [345]. This results in the branches of main source arter­ies getting their supply from proximal arteries, rather than the main source arteries themselves. The reliance on collateral circulation over time ultimately causes a mismatch between arterial occlusion with wound angiosome location.
Ischemic ulceration of the heel can be under­stood in terms of the angiosome concept. As a source vessel is compromised from calcication secondary to atherosclerosis, the corresponding skin at that angiosome can become ischemic and necrotic. The compensatory mechanisms of pedal choke vessels may be severely compromised by atherosclerosis secondary to both DM and ESRD, predisposing patients to the ischemic heel ulcer­ation seen in the triad of OHS [345, 346].
6.23.2 Diagnosis
Orphan heel syndrome stems from occlusive peripheral arterial disease of the PTA and PA, both of which have branching calcaneal arteries supplying blood to the heel. Once the compart­mentalized ow to the heel becomes compro­mised, the heel can become ulcerated and necrotic. The compensatory choke vessels are
