III.Access
Infrapopliteallesionscanbeapproached fromthe contralateral andipsilateral femoralartery,withthe majorityofstenoticinfrapopliteallesionsapproachedfromthecontralateralfemoralartery.Accessfrom the contralateral femoral artery is the preferred approach when treating inflow disease and in the morbidly obese, given the propensity of the sheath to become kinked in the groin with an antegrade approach.A5-Fror6-Frcrossoversheathisintroducedintothecontralateralarteryandadvancedtothe distalipsilateraliliacartery.Antegradeaccessfromtheipsilateralcommonfemoralarteryispreferred whentreatingcomplexinfrapoplitealdiseaseintheabsenceofinflowdisease.Antegradeaccessinthe common femoral artery allows for better wire guide ability and good “pushability” of the catheter balloons,giventhecloseproximityoftheaccesssitetothelesions.11Whenusingacrossoverapproach, anincreasedamountofcontrastisrequiredforadequatevisualizationofthedistalcirculationgiventhe relativelylong distance from thetip ofthe sheath to theinfrapopliteal lesion.Incaseswhenantegrade accesscannotbeachieved,contralateralcrossoverusinga6-Frmultipurposecoronaryguidecatheterora hydrophilic5-Fror6-Frguidesheathmaybeadvancedfromthecontralateralcommonfemoralarteryto the distal ipsilateral superficial femoral artery or mid-popliteal artery for better maneuverability and control.16In patientswithchronic totalocclusions(CTOs),aretrogradeapproach,withaccessvia the pedal,peroneal,anterior,orposteriortibialartery,canbeusedaloneorincombinationwithanantegrade orcrossoverapproach.
IV.Intervention
A.Indications
1.ThemostcommonindicationforinfrapoplitealendovascularinterventionremainsCLIwithischemic
restpain,tissueloss,andulcerationduetoperipheralarterialdisease.Beforeendovascularintervention, thoroughclinicalevaluationofobjectivedataincludingankle branchial index ortranscutaneousoxygen pressure measurements, assessment of the width, length, and depth of ischemic ulcers should be performed.
10
2. Noninvasive imaging modalities such as arterial duplex ultrasound, computed tomography (CT)
angiography,magneticresonance(MR)angiographycanassistinpreproceduralplanningforbelow-the­kneeinterventions.Thecurrentstandardofcareremainsballoonangioplastyforbelow-the-kneelesions.
0.014 ″ and 0.018 ″ low-profile balloon catheters are utilized to perform focal angioplasty for infrapopliteallesions.Inourexperienceutilizingalow-profilesupportcatheterwitha0.014″guidewire platform has beenmost successful. Selectionof0.014 ″ guidewire is based on plaquecharacteristics, calcifications,lengthofstenosis,andtotalocclusions.Focallesionscanbecrossedwithanycommonly used0.014″coronaryguidewireswithafloppytip.
3.However,CTOwillrequirecoronarywireswithstiffertips,suchasConfianzaorFielderXT-Abbot
Vascular.Oncethelesioniscrossedasupportcoronary-typeguidewire(ie,V-18,V-14BostonScientific) canbereplacedtoformascaffoldingfortheintervention.
B.AngioplastyBalloons
1.Angioplastyballoonsforinfrapopliteallesionsvaryonsizebasedonthelocationofthelesion.A2.5
or 3 mm diameter ballooncanbe used for the proximalregion of the infrapopliteal artery, while 2.0-
2.5mmballoons arecommonlyusedfordistaltibialandplantararchvessels.Newgenerationoflong,
https://t.me/med1917
low-profile 0.014 ″ tapered balloons with increased balloon lengths including 120-200 mm provide improvedremodelingofthetreatedvessel,especiallywhenemployingprolongedballooninflationtimes.
4
Inaddition,theover-the-wireplatformandlowcomplianceoftheseballoonsallowsthemosteffective
tracking and pushing characteristics. In our practice, the Ultraverse Bard dilation catheters are well designedfortibialangioplasty.
2. Cutting balloons and scoring balloons additionally have facilitated below-the-knee endovascular
revascularization.TheAngioSculptballoon(AngioScoreInc.)isascoringballoonwithanover-the-wire semicompliantballoonsurroundedbyanitonalcagewiththreerectangularspiralstruts.Fonescaetal,in aprospectivemulticenterEuropeanregistryshoweda90.3%successrateandadissectionrateof10.7%.
7
There wasnoneed forfurthertherapyofthetreatedlesions.Ourexperienceusingscoringandcutting
balloonsismainlyutilizedforheavilycalcifiedlesionstoimproveluminalgain.Theprimaryconceptis toprovideintimaldisruptionandeffectivedilationrequiringlesswalltension.

C.Atherectomy
Thebasisofatherectomyunderlines debulkingmaterialratherthandisplacement,thusdecreasingdistal embolization.Peripheralcalciumtendstobeasignificantimpedimenttoachievingrevascularization,and studiesshowthatcalciumnegativelyimpactsoutcomes.8TheDiamondbackOrbitalAtherectomySystem (Cardiovascular Systems, Inc, St. Paul, MN) has compared below-the-knee revascularization with standard angioplasty with positive results. In a small patient study, there was increased target lesion revascularization and decreased stenosis. The system utilizes a diamond-coated crown to achieve a mechanicalsandingofthevesselwalltodifferentiallytreathardplaquewhileminimizingdamagetothe media,unlikeadirectionaldevice.Thelow-profiletechnologyallowstreatmentofdistaltibiallesions, which was previously inaccessible. Our center has used this type of atherectomy device in heavily calcifiedlesionsthatareunabletobecrossedbyconventionalcrossingcatheters/wires.
D.Drug-CoatedBalloons
Drug-coatedballoonshaveshownpromisingresultsinsingle-centerstudies;however,thesecouldnotbe replicated in large multicenter trials. A recent meta-analysis looked at 5 trials (DEBATE-BTK, DEBELLUM,BIOLUX P-II Trial, IN.PACT DEEPTrial, IDEAS Trial), in which patientswere treated withdrug-elutingballoonangioplastyinarandomizedtrial.Themajorityofpatients,99.6%,hadcritical limbischemiawithlesionlengthintheintermediaterangeof121mm.At12monthfollow-up,TLRrate was 23.6%indrug-eluting balloonangioplasty versus18.3%(RR0.71;95%CI 0.47-1.09;P =0.12). Theclinicallydriventotallesionrevascularizationratedidnotdifferbetweenmodalities,andtherewas comparable riskfor amputations andmajor adverse events. Thus, no clinical superiority was notedin drug-eluting balloon angioplasty compared with plain old balloon angioplasty in the below-the-knee region.17FutureresultsoftheLutonixbelow-the-kneedrug-coatedballoonrandomizedtrialarecurrently underway.Theroleofdrug-elutingballoonsinbelow-the-kneerevascularizationremainsunclear,witha needforfurtherinvestigation.

E.Treatment
Infrapoplitiealarteriesremaindifficulttotreatduetosmallcalibervessel,lengthofdisease,andoverall calcificationburden.Baremetalstentinghasbeentraditionallyreservedasa“bailout”techniqueforthe treatment of hemodynamically significant flow-limiting dissections post intervention along with significantelastic recoil. Siablis andcolleagues showed 6 month primary patencyratesat 68.1%in a small nonrandomizedsingle center trial.14Drug-eluting stents appear tobe promising for treatment of
https://t.me/med1917
below-the-knee arterial disease.2 Three major trials since 2012, ACHILLES, YUKON-BTX, and DESTINY, have shown significantly improved vessel patency compared with angioplasty alone. Endovascularinterventionswithdrug-elutingstentsmayimproveoverallcost-effectivenessandimproved qualityoflifeoutcomesinthefuture.
2
V.Complications
Procedural complications include vasospasms, no-reflow, thrombosis, perforation, and flow-limiting dissection. Prevention and treatment of vasospasms may be achieved through the use of intra-arterial nitratesandcalcium channel antagonists.Thecauseofno-reflow is oftenmultifactorial and may result from distal embolization, vasospasm, andskeletal muscle edema.13 When attempting to determine the causeofno-reflow,occultdissection,andthrombosismustbeconsidered.Thrombosisthatoccursduring infrapoplitealinterventionmustbepromptlyaddressedwithcatheter-based,mechanicalthrombectomy.If thrombosis persists despite performing catheter-based mechanical thrombectomy, thrombolytic therapy should be considered if there are no contraindications.13 Perforations and flow-limiting dissections commonly occurwhentreating long occludedsegmentsor whenusingatherectomydevices.Prolonged balloon inflations are typicallysufficient toachieve hemostasis. For limb-threatening perforations not controlledwithballooninflation,deploymentofacoronarycoveredstentmaybeconsidered.

I.Introduction
Catheter-based revascularization strategies have rapidly evolved in the past few years and are the standardofcareforpatientswithlowerextremityperipheralarterydisease(PAD).EventhoughPADin general refers to involvement of any noncoronary vessel, the majority of lesions are located in the femoropopliteal tract.1Historicallysurgical intervention was the treatment of choice for patientswith lifestyle-limitingclaudication,criticallimbischemia(CLI)oracutelimbischemia,butwiththeadventof endovasculartechnology,thelandscapeoftherapeuticstrategieshavechanged.Thereissignificantlyless morbidity and faster recovery times with endovascular therapies especially in patients with multiple medicalcomorbidities.However,oneofthemajor criticisms ofendovasculartherapy hasbeenapoor long-term patencyrateespeciallyfor infrainguinal vasculature. However,most of this evidencecomes fromthepercutaneoustransluminalangioplasty(PTA)andbare-metalstent(BMS)era.Theevolutionof drug-coatedtherapyaimedatincreasingthelong-termpatencyratesofendovascularinterventions.Most oftheinnovationsinthe PADarenafor thepast5 years werein the development of an“ideal” drug­coatedtherapytomimicthesuccessofthesetherapiesinthecoronaryvasculature.Onecouldarguethat thismilestoneisyettobeachieved,butneverthelesstheexplosionofcardiovasculartechnologiesinthis area cannotbe ignored. Theobjective ofthis chapteris to provide abasic understanding of thedrug­coatedtechnologiesinthePADworldandtheircurrentclinicalimplications.
II.RationaleforDrug-CoatedDevices
Even though the initial success ratesofendovascular revascularizationinthe femoropopliteal territory have improved with betterment of dedicated devices,2 the long-term patency remains suboptimal.
3
RestenosisafterendovasculartherapyforPADhasbeenthemajorlimitationforBMSsandPTA.4Itis importanttounderstandthemechanismofrestenosistoexpandthehorizonofinterventionaltherapiesand toimproveitsdurability. There are not a lot of pathophysiologic studies examining the mechanismof restenosisinPAD,butonecanextrapolatetheworkdoneinthecoronaryrealm.Itiswellrecognizedthat the principal mechanism of restenosis is by neointimal hyperplasia.5 The mechanical injury from angioplastyorstentimplantationincitesafibroproliferativereactioninitiallyinvolvingthesmoothmuscle cells,followedbyaccumulationofextracellularmatrixthatresultsinneointimalthickeningandeventually restenosis.
5,6
ThisprocesshasbeentheAchilles’heelofendovasculartherapyingeneral.Moreoverin
https://t.me/med1917
thePADarena,femoropopliteal(FP)territoryhasincreasedbiomechanicalstressthatresultsinhigherin­stentrestenosiswithBMSs.7Apartfrom patientcentricfactors,there arenumerous anatomic factorsin PADthatpredictsin-stentrestenosisandhenceworselong-termoutcomes.CLIisusuallyassociatedwith diffuselongsegmentFPlesions,belowkneedisease,ormultilevelstenosesthatportendhigherrestenosis rates.
8,9
The constant search for endovascular therapies with better long-term outcomes by reducing
restenosis have resultedinthe evolution of drug-coatedtherapies including drug-elutingstents (DESs) anddrug-coatedballoons(DCBs).
III.DrugsUsedinDrug-ElutingStentsandDrug-Coated Balloons
Itisimportanttohaveabasicunderstandingofthedrugsusedtocoatthestentsandballoonsforbetter therapeuticdecisions.Theidealdrugwouldhavealongtissueretentiontime,widetherapeuticwindow, andlipophilicnaturetoincreasetissueconcentration.Traditionallytherehavebeentwoclassesofdrugs thatsatisfiedthesecriteriaandhavebeenusedinthetreatmentofCAD.TheseincludetheRapamycin(­limus) family and paclitaxel. In PAD, paclitaxel is more commonly used. Rapamycin is a macrolide antibiotic that binds to the cellular FK-binding protein to inhibit the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR).Thisinturninhibitstheproteincomplexes responsible forprogression ofcellsfromG1toS phasehence blockingsmoothmuscle cellmigrationandproliferation.10However,rapamycindoes not causecelldeath.Paclitaxelontheotherhandbindstotheβ-subunitoftubulinheterodimerinhibitingthe proteinkinaseessentialformicrotubuledepolymerization.Thisresultsintheunstablemicrotubulesthat inhibitcellproliferationandmitosis.11Higherdosesofpaclitaxelcanresultincelldeath.Themannerin whichthesedrugsareincorporatedintothestentplatformandballoonsisuniquelydifferentandexplains therationaleoftheircurrentclinicaluse.
IV.DesignofDrug-ElutingStentsandDrug-CoatedBalloons
A.DESElements
The DES comprises of three basic elements: a metallic scaffold (typically nickel-titanium, platinum­chromium alloy, or stainless steel), polymer matrix that binds the drug (silicone, polyurethane, and celluloseesters),andthedrugitself.Therateatwhichthedrugelutesisproportionaltothedegradation ofthepolymermatrix,thuscreatingasubtledifferenceinthewayvariousdrug-coatedtherapiesareused. Aftertheinitial success ofDES,there were numerousissuesnotedwiththepersistenceofthe polymer that creates a source of delayed intimal hyperplasia and lack of endothelialization of stent surface resultinginlatestentthrombosis.12Thedruginthenewer generationDESisincorporateddirectlyinto the metallic scaffold,avoiding polymer-relatedlong term issues.A varietyof biodegradable materials suchaspolycarbonatesandpolyestershavebeenusedtomakepolymersandscaffoldsbutcurrentlyare notavailableintheUnitesStates.
13
B.DCBElements

B.Drug-ElutingStentsinBelowKneeDisease
Typically,interventionsforbelow-the-knee(BTK)diseasearereservedforpatientswithCLI(restpain or gangrene) or nonhealing ulcers as a limb-saving strategy. There are various percutaneous treatment optionsthathavebeentriedforlimbsalvage,whichincludePTA,BMS,DES,andinsomecasesDCB.

C.UnansweredQuestionsinDrug-ElutingStentArena
DESappears toimprove patencyrates and reduce restenosis inboth FPandBTKdiseaseinthe short term. Long-term resultsofDES are still questionable. Focal and short lesions (<100mm) inthe BTK territoryseemtorespondwelltoDES,butBTKdiseaseisusuallydiffuseandprogressive.Theutilityof DEStoimprovelimbsalvageintheselonglesionsstillneedstobeexplored.Anotherlingeringquestion is: which DES is more effective? sirolimusor paclitaxel. There is some evidencethat due toshorter elutiontime,–limus-basedDESshavebetteroutcomescomparedwithpaclitaxel.10Optimaldurationof dualantiplatelettherapyafterDESimplantationhasneverbeenfullyanswered.DESissubjectedtolate
