IV.InterventionsforPatientsWithPeripheralArterialDisease
A.PrinciplesofCatheter-BasedInterventions
1.ThemaintreatmentaimofEVTinterventionintheSFA/FPcirculationistorestoreunobstructedflow
tothe tibial trifurcation.There are standard definitionsfor success and patency. Angiographic success refers toa residual diameter stenosis not morethan 30% and subsequent patency with less than 50% recurrentstenosis.30Hemodynamically,thesuccessofaninterventionisindicatedbyanincreaseinABI ofatleast0.15andanimprovementinRutherfordclass.30Restenosisoccursfrequentlyandcorrelates directlywithlesionlength.

2.Intermittentclaudication(IC)maybecaused byocclusivelesionsintheaortoiliacsegment,common
femoralartery,SFA,andprofundalfemoralandpoplitealarteries.Inpatientswithmultisegmentdisease, the more proximal disease should be treated first. This usually results in symptomatic improvement without extending treatment todistal arteries.6There are multiple EVT options for SFA/FP occlusive disease (FPOD),6 includingPTA alone,32 angioplasty with self-expanding stents,33 angioplasty with balloon-expandable stents,
34
angioplasty with covered stent grafts,
35,36
atherectomy,

antimyoproliferative drug-coated balloons (DCBs),
37–39
and drug-eluting stents (DESs).40 Other
modalitiesincludethrombolysisthatuseslyticagentsactingonfibrinandthrombectomythatusesdirect techniquestoremoveclot.
B.OverviewofGuidelines
6
1. According to the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) guidelines for atherosclerotic disease of the
lower extremities, EVTisrecommendedoveropensurgeryforfocal occlusivedisease ofthe SFA not involving the origin (class IC). For focal lesions (<5 cm), with unsatisfactory results with balloon angioplasty,selectivestentingissuggested(2C).Theuseofself-expandingnitinolstents(withorwithout paclitaxel)isrecommendedforintermediatelengthlesions(1B).Surgicalbypassisrecommendedasthe initialrevascularizationstrategyfordiffusefemoropolitealdisease,smallcaliber(<5mm),orextensive calcificationoftheSFA.AccordingtotheAmericanCollegeofCardiology/AmericanHeartAssociation (ACC/AHA)guidelines,revascularizationoftheFPsegmentisrecommendedforpatientswithCLIorfor patientswhohavehadasuboptimalresponsetoatrialofexercise.41Anendovascularfirstapproachis recommendedforTASCAthroughClesionsandisareasonableapproachforTASCDlesions(Table
10.1)asdeterminedbytheexperienceoftheoperator,andthepatient’scomorbidities.

PatencyafterPTAis greatestfor lesions in the common iliac artery, decreasing distally. Patency also decreases with increasing length, multiple and diffuse lesions, presence of comorbidities including diabetes, smokingandrenal failure.
43–49
Although there is no consensus on a diagnostic transstenotic
pressure gradient, intravascular pressure measurementshave been recommended to determine whether lesions are significant—for example a stenoses of 50%-75% may or may not be hemodynamically significant.Multiplecriteriahavebeensuggestedincludingameangradientof10mmHgbeforeorafter vasodilatorsorapeaksystolicpressuregradientof15%afteradministrationofavasodilator.

C.VascularAccess
1. Vascular access is the mostimportantpart ofanyendovascular intervention (Table10.3). Themost
commonaccessvesseliscommonfemoralartery(CFA).Thebrachialarterymaybeusedinsomecases; leftbrachialaccessisusuallypreferred,astheriskofcerebralembolizationislessthanaccessviaright brachial approach. Safest approach to obtaining access is by using ultrasound guidance and using a micropuncture needle. The puncture site for CFA must be below theinguinal ligament andabove the femoral bifurcation in the region overlying the femoral head. The puncture site should be confirmed fluoroscopically/angiographically.Byangiography,thepuncturesite/needleentrysiteshouldbebetween theoriginoftheinferiorepigastricartery/lateralcircumflexarteryandfemoralbifurcation.Contralateral andipsilateral arterialaccesscanbothbe used. Generallycontralateral access siteis preferred which requires an up-and-over techniquetocross thebifurcation.Contralateral approachmay notbe used in case of tortuous iliac arteries, hostile aortic bifurcations,Y-prosthesis, orabdominal stentgrafts.53 In casesoffailedantegradeapproachorflushSFAocclusion,ipsilateralretrogradepoplitealapproachmay beused.LeftbrachialaccessisreservedforcasesofCFAandSFAlesionsinthepresenceofbilateral iliacarteryocclusions.Itisassociatedwiththeriskofvertebrobasilarstroke.Researchhasrecentlybeen publishedevaluatingtransradialandtransulnaraccessincombinationwithtranspedalaccessforfemoral arteryangioplasty.

2. Once access is obtained, the micropuncture sheath is exchanged for an appropriate sized sheath
(ranging from 4 to 7 French). Digital subtraction angiography of the distal aorta and iliac arteries followedbyangiographyofthetargetextremityisperformedusinga5Frenchflushcatheter.
3.Afterinflowassessment,theaorticbifurcationiscrossedwiththeflushcatheterand0.035-inchangled
glidewire(Terumo,Somerset,NJ).Thecatheteristhenpositionedattheinguinalligament,andselective angiographyofthelowerextremityisperformed. 3-5mLinjections ofnonioniciso-osmolarcontrastis injectedtoevaluatetheSFAandinfrapoplitealrunoff.Imagingisusuallydoneintwoobliquitiestofully assessareasofstenosesandvisualizebifurcations.Oncelesionshave beenidentified,a 0.035 wireis thenreinsertedandpositioned in theSFA.Theflush catheterisremoved,andthe wireisthenusedto exchangethe5Frenchshortcatheter for6-7F45-55cmlongsheath.Thesesheathsprovidesupportfor lesioncrossingandalsoallowforcontrastinjection.
4.Beforeanyintervention,patientsshouldbeanticoagulatedwithheparin.Inpatientsinwhomheparinis
contraindicated,directthrombininhibitorsincludingbivalirudin,hirudin,lepiruidin,andargatrobanmay be used. Activated clotting time (ACT) is checked every 30-60 minutes for a goal ACT above 250 seconds. The advantage of heparin over direct thrombin inhibitors is that in case of access site
https://t.me/med1917
complications,heparincanbereversedwithprotaminesulfate.
5.Afteranticoagulationisachieved,thelesionistraversedwithacombinationofadirectionalcatheter
anda0.035-inchguidewire.Ifthisisunabletocrosslesion,avaryingcombinationof0.018or0.014inch guidewire and catheters may be used. The catheter is positioned just proximal to the target lesions providing wiresupportandpushability. Iftheseoptionsfailduetoproximal capconfiguration,plaque morphology or lesion composition, subintimal angioplasty (SIA) may be attempted. SIA refers to the passage of wires and catheters into the wall of the occluded artery with reentry at a point of distal patency. This technique, first popularized by Bolia, uses a short “prolapsed loop” configuration of a hydrophilic wire extending from the tip of a guiding catheter to gain spontaneous reentry once the reconstituted artery is reached. In addition to the hydrophilic wires, multiple commercially available reentrydevicesareavailableincludingOutback&Pioneer(Coviden-Medtronic,Minneapolis,MN);Off­Road,BostonScientific(Watertown,MA);andEnteer(Covidient-Medtronic).SIAorrevascularizationis associatedwithsimilar midtermpatencyratesasintraluminaltherapies andcan be usedwithexcellent technical success. However, SIA should not be attempted in dense medial (Monckenberg type) calcification,absenceofareentrysite,anda reentrysitethatistoosmallin diameter.Perforations or rupturemaybetreatedwithcatheter-directedocclusionorexclusionwithastentgraftorsurgicalrepair. AlthoughSIA isthe mostexpeditious formofinterventionfor long segment chronictotalocclusions,it maypotentiallylimittheuseofothertherapiesincludingDCBsandatherectomy.
D.LesionCrossing
1. Lesion crossing is central to a successful intervention. Every attempt should be made to maintain
luminalpositionandavoiddissectionintothesubintimalspace.Subintimaldissectionincreasestimeand complexityoftheprocedure.Toavoidsubintimaldissection,asteerableangledwire(0.035-inchangled glidewire,Terumo), whichis a hydrophilic wireisusedwiththe help ofa torquedevice. Theangled glidewirehasafloppytiptopreventdissectionwithenoughsupporttomaneuverthetip.Whenthetipof thewiredeforms,thewireisusuallyretractedandturnedinadifferentdirectionfortruelumen.
2.Forhigh-gradestenoses,asmallerwiresuchasthe0.014-inchASAHIGrandSlam(AbbottVascular,
AbbottPark,IL)mayalsobeused.Chronictotalocclusionrequiresmorewiresandcatheters.InCTOs,it isdifficulttoascertainwhetherthewireisluminalorhascrossedoverintothesubintimalspace.Inthose cases, 0.035-inch Stiff Angled Glidewire (Terumo) in conjunction with a 0.035-inch Angled Glide Catheter (AngioDynamics) or 0.035-inch Quick Cross catheter maybe used as they provide sufficient support.ThetipofthewireisusuallygivenaJloopwhichthencurvesontoitselfandcreatesaloop,thus allowing the body of the wire to enter subintimal space. The wire is then extended the lengthof the occlusion, being supported by the catheter until reentry is identified. One can then determine luminal reentry.Itisessentialtoidentifythemostproximalsiteoftargetvesselreconsititutionwhenperforming interventionsonCTOs.Extensionbeyondthatjeopardizesbypasstargets.Once thispointis identified, catheter is advancedandwire removed.Backbleeding is thenperformed toconfirm reentry into true lumen.Injectionof1-2 mLofcontrastmayalso beusedtoconfirmthis. Incaseofmultipleattemptsat reentry, reentry devices such as the Pioneer Catheter (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) may be used to obtain luminal access. After lesion crossing, wire serves as a guide for balloon catheter and stent deliverysystem.
E.PercutaneousTransluminalAngioplastyforSuperficialFemoralArtery
Disease(Table10.4)
1. The mechanism of angioplasty is controlled intimal dissection, disrupting luminal plaque and
https://t.me/med1917
increasing diameter of the arterial flow. Barotrauma associated with PTA may provoke intimal hyperplasiathroughacombinationofvesselwallinflammationandinjuryandalteredflowduetointimal dehiscence.
a. Specialty balloons havebeen developed that can “cut,” “score,” or “modify”inflation profile of
balloons to prevent overexpansion and dissection. It has theadvantage of being inexpensive and technicallysimplerthanprimarystenting.Italsoavoidsstentfatigueandfracturewhichmayresult fromtorqueanddeformationoftheFParteriesduringflexionofthekneejoint.
b. Additionally, lower profile balloons may allow PTA of the SFA through sheaths as small as
4 French. PTA performs well for short lesions (<5 cm)54 that are noncalcified; restenosis rates increaseaslesionlengthincreases.
33,37,55–58
c. IntheVIVAobjectiveperformancecriteria,theoverall12-monthpatencyrateforlesionsbetween4
and 15 cm treated with PTA alone ranged from 28% to 37%.59 PTA alone is associated with complications including flow-limiting dissection, perforation, arterial rupture, and distal embolization.Inonestudy,stentplacementforelasticrecoilorsignificantdissectionafterPTAhas beenreportedinupto40%ofcases.

2.Asdescribedintheprecedingsection,oncelesioniscrossedeitherintraluminallyorsubintimally,an
appropriateballoonisselected.Ballooncathetershavetwolumens;thelumenthroughwhichwirepasses iscoaxial.
a. Thesecondlumenisconnectedtotheballoonandpermitsinflation.
b. Most useful ballooncathetershavelow profilewhichallowsforasmalldiameterwhendeflated,
minimizing entry-site complications and allowing easy maneuverability across tight and tortuous
https://t.me/med1917
lesions.
c. Ballooncathetersshouldalsoideallybetrackable.Trackabilityallowsforeasypassageofballoon
cathetersoverwireswithoutpullingwiresoutofdesiredposition.
d. Most current balloons are made of polyethylene terephthalate or other low compliance, strong
plasticpolymers.
e. Balloons are available on 0.018-0.035-inch over-the-wire (OTW) and rapid-exchange (RX or
monorail)platforms. OTWcathetershavemorepushabilitywhile monorailballoonsuseashorter wire.Generally,OTWballoonsmaybeusedascatheters.
f. Low-profile0.018-inchsystemsthatarecompatiblewith4Frsheathaccessaregenerallyadvocated
to minimize the risk of bleeding. Noncompliant balloons are preferred because they inflate to a uniform diameter regardless of the amount of pressure and are less likely to cause injury to the vessel.
g. High-gradeeccentricor cylindrical lesionsare related toincreased riskofballoonruptureduring
inflation.
h. Theidealballoonlengthismeasuredusinganexternalradiopaquerulerorcalibratedcatheter;the
properlengthmusttreattargetlesionwithoutdisruptionofthenormalvessel.
i. Ifa semicompliant balloon is used, greater pressure will overinflate theballoontoa larger
diameter.Thisproblemisnotencounteredwithnoncompliantballoons.Balloonoversizingas well asoverinflationcancausearterial injuryorsignificantdissections.Balloonrupturecan occur which may cause embolization of balloon fragments. If balloons are not properly prepared,potential air embolization may alsooccur. As theballoonisinflatedtonominalor rated burstpressure, a narrowing is seenat thesite of stenosis or occlusionwhichresolves whenthestenosisisovercome.
ii. Longer inflationtimesare oftenused to stabilize the luminal surface of the arterial segment;
longer times may reduce the likelihood of flow-limiting dissections. We use inflation times between60and180seconds.
i. For persistent stenoses that do not resolve with standard noncompliant balloons, cutting/scoring
balloonsmaybeused;thelatterareassociatedwithlesshemodynamicallysignificantdissections

RandomizedclinicaltrialshavedemonstratedthatangioplastywithaDCBissuperiortostandardballoon angioplastyformoderate-lengthlesionsintheFPregion.
56,67

withreductioninratesof
restenosis,decreaseintargetvesselrevascularization,andeconomiccost-savingsdueinparttoreduced need for repeatperipheral angiogramsandreintervention.
37,66,70
The principal mechanism of restenosis
withPTAandbaremetalstents(BMS)isthoughttobeneointimalhyperplasiaduetomechanicalinjuryto vessel wall. Restensosis rates are also related todistribution of PADwith longer lesions with higher restenosisratesfordiffuse,infrapopliteallesions.

3.UnitedStatesFoodandDrugAdministrationApproval
Two DCBsare currently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration(FDA)for the treatment ofPADin SFA and popliteal artery. These includethe Lutonix035 DCBPTAcatheter with paclitaxel and theIN.PACT Admiral DCBwith paclitaxel. More recently the FDA granted premarket approvaltoanotherpaclitaxel-coatedballoon,theStellarexballoon.
a. In theILLUMENATEtrial, the Stellarexballoondemonstratedconsistently high patencyrates and
lowclinically driventargetrevascularization ratespatients withsuperficialfemoral arteryand/or poplitealarterylesions.
73,74
b. DCBconsistsofaballooncatheterwhichiscoatedwithanantiproliferativedrug(paclitaxel)andan
excipient which controls drug release. Each DCB is unique with respect to the paclitaxel dose (varying from 2 to 3.5 mg/mm2), the carrier molecule (excipient), the balloon material, and the coatingtechnologyused.DCBshaveseveraladvantagesoverstents:theymaybeabletodistribute drugsmorehomogenouslythatstentsandmayavoidmetalorpolymer-inducedstentrestenosisand stentfracturesassociatedwithstentimplantationintheFPterritory.
c. DCBsmayalsobeusedpreferentiallyinscenarioswherestentimplantationisnotdesirable(in-stent
restenosis,bifurcationcarina,ordiffuseFPdisease).75LimitationsofDCBsaresimilartoballoon angioplasty—namely lower acute gain and potentially more unstable acute results.75 The main challengeofdeliveringDCBsareeffectivedrugtransferwithinaspecifiedtimeframeasdictatedby asingleballooninflation(typicallyaround30s)
d. The antiproliferative drug paclitaxel is preferred due to its lipophilicity and prolonged tissue
retentionrates.Paclitaxelhasbeenshown topreventneointimalhyperplasia by disruptingnormal microtubule function, thereby inhibiting smooth muscle cell migration, proliferation, and extracellular matrix secretion.Some ongoing studies have however focused on theuse of limus­based DCBs due to their efficacy in preventing neointimal hyperplasia.76 Excipient enhances transferofdrugfromballoontotissueandvarybetweenurea,iopromide,andpolysorbate/sorbitol, whicharethemostcommonlyused.

Asmentionedelsewhere,thereareincreasingdatasupportingthesuperiorityofDCBoverPTAforFPas well as below-the-knee (BTK) disease. Four randomized control trials (THUNDER,38 FemPac,

https://t.me/med1917
A.BareMetalStents
Allangioplastiescanbecomplicatedbyflow-limitingdissection,embolization,andacutearterialrecoil. Theuseofself-expandingcoveredorbaremetalstents(BMS)hasbeenshowntoimprovepatencyand maybe used totreatPTA-relatedcomplicationsincludingdissection.However,inthe earlystudies of sirolimus- and everolimus-eluting self-expanding nitinol stent platforms for SFA, early efficacy was followedbydisappointinglongertermresults.

IntheSuperficialFemoralArteryTreatmentwithDrug-ElutingStents(STRIDES)study,theDynalink
everolimus-elutingstentshoweda32%stentrestenosisrateat12months.

1.Efficacy
Severalstudies havedemonstratedthe efficacy of self-expanding stentsin thetreatmentof longer SFA lesions. Self-expanding stents possess thermal shape memory and are more resistant to mechanical stresses by expanding on deployment at body temperature and then reexpanding after external compression.
In theVienna randomizedtrial, patientsreceiving self-expanding stentsforfemoral arterydisease hadlowerratesofrestenosisandbetterwalkingcapacitythanthosetreatedwithballoonangioplasty alone.

In the Randomized Study Comparing the Edwards Self-Expanding LifeStent versus Angioplasty­aloneInLesionsInvolvingTheSFAand/orProximalPoplitealArtery(RESILIENT)study,33nitinol BMSs were comparedwithangioplasty. The observedpatencyrateat1yearwas81.3%forstent versus36.7%forangioplastygroup.Posthocanalysis,however,suggestedthatballoonangioplasty alonewassimilartoself-expandingstentsinshortSFAlesions(<100mm)
C.Polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)-CoveredStents
1. PTFE-covered stentsmaybe usedtotreatlong SFAlesionsinpatients withclaudication;however,
theirsuperioritytoBMSisunproven.Studieshaveshownnosignificantlong-termdifferencesinpatency rates between covered stents and bare metal (nitinol) stents.
35,81
Covered stents may have a role in
treatmentofin-stentrestenosisofSFA.However,coveredstentsareassociatedwithahigherrateofacute limbischemia82comparedwithBMS,andatthispoint,aclearroleforcoveredstentsinSFAlesionshas notbeenclearlydefined.
2.Drug-ElutingStents
Asmentionedintheprecedingsection,revascularizationintheSFAischallengingbecauseofextensive plaque and complex mechanical forces including elongation, torsion and flexion, and so forth. The presenceofnonresorbablepolymersinperipheralarteryDESsinduceinflammatorythromboticreactions, whichmayleadtolatestenosisandthrombosis.

https://t.me/med1917
and sustained patency in comparison with its bare metal counterpart. It is an FDA-approved, self­expanding,nitinolstentsystem.TheZilverPTAischaracterizedbydirectapplicationofpaclitaxeltothe stentwithoutuseofapolymericcoating.Paclitaxelavidlybindstointracellulartargetproteins,allowing fordruguptakeinthearterywithdetectableretentionforupto2months.Theabilityofpaclitaxeltobind targetproteinsavidlyallowsZilverPTXtodeliverpaclitaxelfromtheabluminalsurfacewithouttheaid of polymers, bindings, or carriers.40 Its flexible z-cell design provides for wall apposition and conformability. Additionally, the presence of horizontal tiebars and z-cell decrease shortnening. The Zilver 635series (6F, 0.035inch) and518 series (5F, 0.018inch) are bothavailable in6- to 10-mm diameter,20-to80-mmlengths,and80-and125-cmdeliverysystems.Theindicationsforuseallowtwo ZilverPTX80-mmstentstobeoverlappedtotreatlongerlesionsupto140mminlength.

VI.ClinicalTrialUpdateinSuperficialFemoralArteryDisease
An overview of randomized controlled trials of DCBs, DES, and covered stents in FP disease is provided in Table 10.4. These trials demonstratebenefitfor DES, DCB, andcovered stents and may resultinchangeinclinicalpractice.
A.Follow-Up
1. Afterinterventionfor lowerextremity disease,aggressivefollow-uptooptimizemedical therapy is
indicatedtopreventfuturecardiovasculareventsandtoimprovepatencyrates.Counselingonriskfactors modification with initiation/continuation of pharmacologic treatment is important. The mainstay of pharmacologictreatmentisstatins,antihypertensiveagents,andantiplatelettherapy.Previousstudieshave indicated that patients with PAD are less likely to receive guideline-directed medical therapy than patientswithotherformsofcardiovasculardiseaseincludingcoronaryarterydisease.
18,86,87
2.Atleast6monthsofaspirinand1monthofclopidogrelisrecommendedfollowingperipheralartery
DCB use; and at least 2 months of dual antiplatelet therapyafter peripheral artery drug (paclitaxel)–
https://t.me/med1917
coatedstentimplantation.However,therearelimiteddataonthedurationofantiplatelettreatmentafter endovascularintervention,withonesmallstudyshowingnodifferencesinoutcomesin12-monthfollow­upbetweenprolonged(8-12wk)versusshortdurationofantiplatelettreatment(4-6wk)
88
3.Postoperativefollow-upforpatientsundergoingSFAinterventionisroutinelyperformedwithABIor
arterialduplexultrasoundwithinonemonthoftheintervention.Thisisfollowedbyimagingat3-6months andthenyearlyafter.Ifsymptomsrecur,imagingmaybeconsideredearlier.
B.ACC/AHARecommendations
TheACC/AHA8hasa class IArecommendation for theuseofaspirinalone(range: 75-325mg/d) or clopidogrelalone(75mg/d)toreduceMI,stroke,andvasculardeathinpatientswithsymptomaticPAD. After revascularization, it may be reasonable to initiate DAPT to reduce risk of limb-related events (Class: IIb). Treatment with statins is recommended in all patients with PAD (Class: IA, LOE: A). Similarly,antihypertensivetherapyisrecommendedtoinpatientswithPADandHTNtoreduce riskof MI,stroke,heartfailure,andcardiovasculardeath(IA).Furthermore,research studies
89,90
have shown
reduction in vascular events inpatients withboth clinical and subclinical PADwho havebeentreated with either anangiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) henceaclassIIA,LOEArecommendationfortheuseoftheseagents.
VII.Summary
PercutaneousinterventionforocclusivediseaseoftheFPregionhasbecomethemainstayoftreatmentfor patientswith intermittent claudication andCLI.Thishasparalleled thedevelopmentofnew techniques anddevices.Percutaneous interventions oftheFPregionareassociatedwithlowriskofmortalityand morbidity.FuturegoalsinperipheralarterialdiseaseshouldfocusonidentifyingpatientswithFPdisease earlyanduseofappropriatetreatmentstrategiestopreventCLIandamputation.
