SMOKINGCESSATION
Cigarette smoking along with diabetes is most strongly correlated with PAD. Smoking cessationimprovesthe outcomesassociatedwithPADand systemic atherosclerotic disease. Smokingcessationimprovedsymptomswithclaudicantby40%at10monthscomparedwith patients whofailed to quitsmoking. Smoking cessationor a reductionimproved the3-year

DIABETESMANAGEMENT
The American College of Cardiology (ACC)/AHA/American Diabetic Association (ADA) guidelinesrecommendthatdiabeticsachievea hemoglobinA1Cgoalof<7.0%toreducethe
frequency ofcardiovascular complications andalso to help in retarding the progression of PAD.21Podiatristsplayakeyroleinthesediabeticpatientsinthepreventionofdiabeticfoot
ulcersandearlytreatmentifitoccurs.Meticulousfootcarewithregularfootexaminationand appropriatefootwearasapreventionstrategyisofutmostimportance.Thus,podiatristsplay anindispensableroleinachievingthisfootcare,andalsothetimelyreferralofthesepatients tovascularspecialistsimproveslimbsalvagerates.TheLEAP(LowerExtremityAmputation Prevention)studywasdonetodeterminethecost-effectivenessoflowerextremityamputation preventionstrategycomparedtostandardclinicalpracticeindiabeticpatientswithCLI.The mainaimoftheLEAPstrategywastoenhancesalvageviaaggressiverevascularization.The studyenrolled388patientsintheLEAParmandtheywerefollowedfor4years.TheLEAP armhadacostsavingsofapproximately2,000dollarsperpatient.Also,theLEAPstrategyhad loweramputationrates(29%vs.76%),lowerdeathrates(1%vs.19%),andfewerin-hospital

CHOLESTEROLMANAGEMENT
https://t.me/medicina_free
Lipid-loweringtherapywithastatintoachieveatargetlow-densitylipoprotein(LDL)of<70 mgperdLisstronglyadvocatedbytheACC/AHAprofessionalsocietiesinpatientswithPAD andthosewhohavehadanMI.Infact,eveniftheLDLis<70mgperdL,patientswithPADor any form of atherosclerotic disease should be started on a statin.Among 6,748 individuals withPADintheHeartProtectionStudy,theuseofsimvastatinreducedtheoverallmortalityby 12%,vascularmortality by17%,adversecoronaryeventsby24%, andstrokeby27%(ata meanfollow-upof5years).Also,lipidloweringimprovesclaudicationsymptomsandextends walkingtimes.
ANTIPLATELETTHERAPY
Antiplatelet therapyreceives a class IrecommendationintheACC/AHA guidelinesforthe prevention of adverse cardiovascular events in PAD. The Antithrombotic Trialists’ Collaboration studied 42 clinical trials comprising9,214patients with PADandfound that patientswhowereonantiplatelettherapyhad a 25% reductionin therateof stroke,MI,or cardiovasculardeathwhencomparedwithpatientswhohadreceivedplacebo.TheACC/AHA guidelines give the use of aspirin in PAD a class IA recommendation. The CAPRIE (clopidogrel vs. aspirin in patients at risk of ischemic events) trial, which studied 19,000 patients, found that, individuals taking clopidogrel had an 8.7% relative reduction in the composite endpoint ofMI, stroke, or vascular death when compared to those taking aspirin alone.ThiseffectwasmorepronouncedinthesubgroupanalysisofpatientswithPAD,where thecompositeendpointwasreducedby23.8%amongindividualstakingclopidogrel.Inlight
ofthesefindings,theACC/AHAandTASC-II(Trans-AtlanticSociety-II)guidelines23support theuseofclopidogrelmonotherapyasanalternativetoaspirininpatientswithPAD(classIB recommendation). The role of dual antiplatelet is not validated in any large trials. Dual antiplatelettherapyisrecommendedinPADpatientswhoundergoanintervention.Usually,for a month, and in patients who receive a drug-eluting stent (Zilver PTX stent), the dual antiplatelettherapyneedstobecontinuedforatleast3months.Itisimportanttobemindful thatpatientswithCADwhohavestentsinthemneedthedualantiplatelettherapyforatleast1 year(especiallyiftheyhavedrug-elutingstents).
EXERCISETHERAPY
Supervised exercise therapy along withcilostazol is themainstaytherapyforpatients with intermittentclaudication.Variousmechanismshavebeenproposedonhowexerciseimproves claudication,includingcollateralvesselangiogenesis,decreasedinflammation,decreasedfree radical and lactic acid accumulation, better exercise pain tolerance, improved cellular metabolism,efficientmuscleenergymetabolism,reducedblood viscosityand redbloodcell aggregation, and improved endothelial function. The recommendations are for three to five supervised exercise sessions per weekwith35 to50 minutes of exercise per session ona treadmill (to achieve near-maximal claudication pain) for more than 6 months. In a meta­analysis of21 studies involving supervised walkingprograms, themeanwalkingdistanceto
https://t.me/medicina_free
onset of claudicationwas increased by 180%. They also showed that the absolute walking distancewasimprovedby130%whencomparedwithbaseline.
24,25
Itisimportanttonotethat the exercise program has to be supervised. Studies have shown that unsupervised exercise programs do not help the patients. Currently, supervised exercise program has a class IA recommendationforthemanagementofintermittentclaudication.
DRUGTHERAPYFORCLAUDICANTS
Two medications that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for claudicationmanagementarecilostazolandpentoxifylline.Cilostazolisaphosphodiesterase inhibitor (PDE-3) that promotes vasodilatation andinhibits platelet aggregation. In clinical trials, cilostazolstatistically improved thewalking distance after 12 weeksoftherapy. The ACC/AHA and TASC-II guidelines recommend theuse of cilostazol for the management of intermittent claudication in combination with supervised exercise therapy (class IA recommendation).Itisimportanttobearinourmindsthattheuseofcilostazoltherapyhasa
blackboxwarningfromtheFDAinpatientswithcongestiveheartfailure.26Inameta-analysis of11clinical studies,pentoxifyllineshowed onlymodest improvementinwalking distance. Thisagentexertsitsbeneficialeffectsbyloweringbloodviscosityandimprovingredblood cell flexibility. Pentoxifylline receives a class IIb recommendation for the management of
intermittentclaudicationasperACC/AHAandTASC-IIguidelines.

REVASCULARIZATIONTHERAPY
Revascularization therapy can be performed by either the endovascular or surgical route. Recently, there has been tremendous improvement and introduction of several new endovasculartechniques.RevascularizationremainsthecornerstoneoftreatmentforCLI.Itis also indicatedinclaudicationforsymptom reliefforthosewhofailmedicaltherapyandthe exercise program, and performed to reduce the level of amputation. The choice between endovascular and surgical revascularization should be individualized.Each of the therapies hasitsownmeritsanddemerits.
Based on the TASC-II classification, the vascular society has come up with guidelines regardingthechoiceofrevascularizationtherapies.Thechoiceofrevascularizationtherapyis dependentonthecomplexityandextentofPAD.TASC-IIclassificationispurelybasedonthe anatomyofthedisease. There are two TASC classifications. Oneclassificationis for iliac diseaseandtheotherclassificationisforfemoropoplitealdisease.Theclassificationisbased on the location and severity of the stenosis, the length of the stenosis, number ofstenosis, calcification, chronic total occlusions, level of reconstitution, prior endovascular interventions,etc.TypeAisthe simplestlesionandtypeDisthemostcomplexlesion.The societyrecommendsendovasculartherapyasthetreatmentofchoicefortypeAandBlesions andsurgicaltherapyasthetreatmentofchoicefortypeDlesions.Surgicaltherapyispreferred fortypeClesions.InadditiontothecomplexityandextentofPAD,thepatient’scomorbidities, patient preference, available resources and expertise, along with the operator’s long-term
https://t.me/medicina_free
successratemustbeconsideredaswellwhenmakingthetreatmentdecisionsfortypeCandD lesions.With surgical approach,theriskofMIis 1.9% to 3.4%, mortality is 1.3% to6%, wound infection is 10% to 30%, and scar-related neuropathic pain is 23%. About 30% of graftswill require revision duringtheir lifetime. Endovascular treatmentis associated with groin complications, contrast-related adverse reactions, risks associated with radiation exposure,restenosis, andrepeatprocedures.Thefieldofendovasculartherapyis sorapidly evolvingthatguidelinesandconsensusstatementsareyettoincorporatethesenewadvances.It is suffice to say that the choice of revascularization therapy is dependent on the disease, patient,andtheexpertiseavailable.
ENDOVASCULARTHERAPY
In the BASIL(bypassvs.angioplasty insevere ischemia oftheleg)trial, 452 patients with severe chromic limb ischemia were randomized on an intention-to-treat basis to an initial strategy of bypass surgery or endovascular treatment with angioplasty (not stenting) for infrainguinal disease. Thisstudyshowed nosignificantdifferencesinthe outcomesbetween theangioplastyandsurgerygroupsat3years.However,thisstudyhasbeencriticizedforbias andthelackofuniformityinthestudypopulation.Also,thisstudywasdoneinanerawhere endovascular techniques were still quite primitive in its evolution. Recently, studies have demonstratedthatstentingofSFAlesionsyieldedabetterrestenosisandclinicalimprovement whencomparedtoangioplasty only. In fact,onestudydemonstrated thatSFA stenting hada 24% restenosis rate at 6 months when compared to a 43% rate in those who underwent angioplastyalone.Thus,thesefindingssuggestthatendovasculartherapyforSFAusingnitinol
stents may provide greater durability than angioplasty alone.28 In addition, with the introduction of atherectomy debulking devices and drug-coated balloons (DCBs), the endovascular specialistisable toachieve results similar tothatofstenting andthus hasthe tremendousadvantageofnotleavingametalbehind.
PERCUTANEOUSTECHNIQUESANDTOOLS
Varioustools areavailableinthecurrenteratotreatPADby theendovascular route.These include short and long angioplasty balloons, special cutting balloons, more recently FDA­approved DCBs, balloon-delivered and self-expandingstents, drug-eluting stents, debulking atherectomy devices, reentry devices, and special crossing devices to cross chronic total occlusions.
AngioplastyBalloonsandSpecialBalloons
There are several balloons available to treat PAD. Thestandard balloons come invarious lengths, different profiles on the same balloon and can be complaint, semi-compliant, and noncompliant (hence tailor-made for different kinds of lesions). Then we have the cutting balloons,whichcanhavemetalspikes,metalwires,ormetalringswoundroundtheballoon. Thesecuttingballoonsgiveanexcellentresultinresistant calcified lesionscausingminimal

plaque shift, hence preserving side branches. The Chocolate percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA)ballooncatheter(Cordis,Fremont,CA)isanovelballooncatheterwitha mountednitinol-constrainingstructurespecificallydesignedforuniformdilatationinresistant lesions.TheChocolateballoonangioplastyregistrycontainsboth174patientswithabove-the­knee(ATK) and180patientswith below-the-knee (BTK)lesions. In theATKcohorts, at6 monthspostintervention,only11%ofpatientsrequiredtargetlesionrevascularization(TLR), 96%ofpatientshadanamputation-freesurvival,and89%ofpatientswerefreeofanymajor adverseevents.ThesuccessrateforBTKinterventionswasalsosimilarat3months,only7% required TLR, theamputation-free survivalratewas 97%, andfreedomfrom major adverse events was 90%. The othercuttingballoons are the AngioScore (AngioScore Inc, Fremont, CA)andtheFlextome cuttingballoon(Boston Scientific, Marlborough,MA). DCBswill be discussedinthesectionbelow.
Stents
There are several stents such as the Supera (Abbott vascular, Abbott Park, IL), EverFlex (Covidien, Mansfield, MA), and Complete SE (Medtronics, Minneapolis, MN) that are availableinthemarkettotreatPAD.Theonlydrug-elutingstentthatisavailableintheUSAis Zilver PTX stent (Cook, Bloomington, IN) to be used in SFA lesions. The Zilver PTX paclitaxel-elutingnitinolstent(ZilverPTXstent)trialenrolled60patientsandshowed90% primarypatency ratesinZilverPTXgroupwhen comparedto52%primary patencyratesin thePTAcontrolgroup(follow-upperiodof9months).Only8%ofallthepatientswhowere

Drug-CoatedBalloons
Recently,DCBswereapprovedforitsuseinfemoropopliteallesionsbytheFDA.DCBsact bydeliveringthe antiproliferative agenttothevessel wall without leaving anystentbehind. Some of the advantages of the DCB are as follows: ability to treat bypass landing zones; preserves the original anatomy of the vessel; does not leave a metal or polymer behind, thereforeremovinganysourceforphysical,chemical,orimmunologictrigger;abilitytotreat segmentswherestentsarenotadvised(commonfemoralandpoplitealarteries),andarecent study showed that DCBs could potentiallylower theprojected budget impact over 2 years whencomparedtostandardballoonangioplastyandbare-metalstentsastheyimproveprimary patency and reduce target vessel revascularization (thus reducing the need for further procedures).TheTHUNDER,FEMPAC,LEVANT,andPACIFIERtrialsshowedasignificant reduction in late lumen loss (an objective means of assessing restenosis) and TLR when comparedtostandardballoonangioplasty. Thesetrials andfew more recenttrials led toits approval inthe management of femoropopliteal lesions by the FDA. DCBs have definitely startedaneweraintheendovascularmanagementofPAD.
ATHERECTOMYDEVICES
Themajordisadvantageofangioplastyisrestenosis,whichmaybeovercometosomeextent
https://t.me/medicina_free
bydebulkingtheplaque.Multiplestudieshaveshownadvantagesofthesedebulkingdevicesin specificconditions.Therearefourdifferentkindsofatherectomy.
DirectionalAtherectomy
Directional atherectomy involves the resection of the atherosclerotic plaque with a cutting device in the longitudinal plane. It is preferred in diabetic patients. Two FDA-approved devicesare SilverHawkand TurboHawk(Covidien,Mansfield, MA).The DEFINITIVE-LE (Determination of Effectiveness of the SilverHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System [SilverHawk Device] for the Treatment of Infrainguinal Vessels/Lower Extremities) trial enrolled799patients(53%werediabetics)andfoundthatwithatherectomy,theywereableto achieveaprimarypatencyrateof78%intheclaudicantand71%intheCLIgroupat1year
follow-up.31 There were no major differences in the results between diabetics and nondiabetics.Additionally,theuseofDCBsafterdirectionalatherectomyincalcifiedresistant lesionsyieldedexcellentresults.
OrbitalAtherectomy
This system employs a 360° rotational device with a diamond-coated crown that orbits eccentricallywithinthevesselcontour.TheonlyFDA-approvedorbitalatherectomydeviceis the CSIDiamondbackOrbitalatherectomysystem (CardiovascularSystems, Inc.,SaintPaul, MN).TheCALCIUM360°(ComparisonofOrbitalAtherectomyplusBalloonAngioplastyvs. BalloonAngioplastyAloneinPatientswithCriticalLimbIschemia)trialenrolled50patients withheavilycalcifiedpoplitealorinfrapoplitealarteries,andtheyachievedaprimarypatency
rateof93%intheorbitalatherectomyarmwhencomparedto82%inthePTA-onlygroup.
32
The COMPLIANCE 360° (Comparing Balloon Angioplasty to Diamondback 360° Orbital AtherectomySystem in Calcified Femoropopliteal Disease) studyenrolled 50 patients with heavilycalcifiedfemoropoplitealvesselsandshoweda72.7%freedomfromTLRat6months inthegroupthatreceived orbital atherectomyandPTAwhencomparedto8.3%inthePTA-
only group.33 Hence, orbital atherectomy is an excellent tool in calcified infrainguinal femoropoplitealandinfrapopliteallesions.
RotationalAtherectomy
Rotational atherectomy employsa high-speed rotating cutting blade (or “burr”) coatedwith abrasive material suchas microscopic diamondparticles andatthe same time aspirates the
denudedparticles.34 The FDA-approved device is Pathway PV system (currentlyJetstream; Pathway Medical Technologies, Kirkland, WA). The single-arm Pathway PVD trial that enrolled172patients(42%werediabetics)showedthat38.2%ofthepatientshadevidenceof vesselrestenosis,and26% ofthe patientsunderwentrepeatTLR, whichis betterthan PTA
alone.35TheotherdevicesaretheRotablator(BostonScientific,Marlborough,Fremont,CA) and the Phoenix atherectomy device (AtheroMed, Menlo Park, CA), which is still under
investigation.Thus,itisveryusefulinthetreatmentofcalcifiedlesions.

SURGICALTHERAPY
Surgicaltherapyisdependentonthelesioncomplexity;patient’scomorbidities;availabilityof venousconduits,adequatetargetdistalvessels,resources,expertise;andfinallythesurgeon’s track record. As per Medicare claims data from 1996 to 2006, there has been a >3-fold increase in endovascular intervention and bypass surgery decreased by 42%. Despite the decreasing rate of bypass, surgery remains an important treatment strategy in advanced multilevel vascular disease. Typically, surgical mode of revascularization is indicated in patients with acceptable surgical risk (and life expectancy of >2 years) who need a more durable long-lasting repair, those patients whose vascular disease cannot be managed by endovascularstrategies,andfinallythosewhohavefailedendovasculartreatment.Therehas tobe anadequate venous conduitavailable for bypass, otherwise the patency rates are the sameasthoseforendovascularstrategies.Mortalityratesfromsurgeryrangefrom3%to8% dependingonthecomorbidities.Ontheotherhand,theratesofmajorcomplicationsassociated withendovascularinterventionsrangefrom1.9%to2.9%.Withtherisingelderlypopulation and its concomitant cardiovascular comorbidities, endovascular intervention is usually the preferredchoiceofrevascularization.Inthiscurrentera,severalpatientsmaybenefitfroma hybridapproach,wheretheinflowistakencarebyoneapproachandtheoutflowviatheother

approach,dependingonthearterialanatomy.
USINGTHEANGIOSOMEPRINCIPLEINPLANNING THEOPTIMALREVASCULARIZATION
Successfullimbsalvageis dependentondetailed knowledgeofthe vascularanatomyof the foot and ankle. The concept of angiosomes was first introduced in 1987 by Taylor and
Palmer.36 They divided the body into three-dimensional vascular territories supplied by specificsourcearteriesanddrainedbyspecificveins.Thefootandanklearecomposedofsix
distinctangiosomes37;thesixangiosomesofthefootandankleoriginatefromthethreemain sourcearteries.Theposteriortibialarterysuppliesthemedialankleandtheplantarfootwhich includesthecalcanealbranch(heel),themedialplantarartery(instep),andthelateralplantar artery(lateralmidfootandforefoot).Theanteriortibialarterysuppliestheanteriorankleand thenbecomesthedorsalis pedisartery,whichsuppliesthe dorsumofthefoot. Theperoneal artery supplies the anterolateral portion of the ankle and rear foot with two branches, the anteriorperforatingbranch(lateralanteriorupperankle)andthecalcanealbranch(lateraland plantar heel). Arterial–arterial connectionsallow for uninterruptedblood flow to the entire foot despite the occlusion ofone or more arteries. The primarygoal for CLIpatients is to reestablish pulsatile straight-line flow to the distal extremity, especially to the respective
angiosomewheretheulcerorgangreneispresent.38Unfortunately,15%ofsurgicalbypasses fail to improve ulcer healing because they do not provide blood supply to the affected
angiosome.39 Gooden and colleagues found that up to 25% of patients with heel ulcers ultimately succumbed to a proximal leg amputation despite a palpable pedal pulse.40 The
major reasonis inadequaterevascularization,becausethesupplyingarteryorthe collaterals supplyingtheischemicareaareoccludedorabsent.41Thefailureratesofwoundhealingcan
be decreased if the bypassed vessel directly feeds the vessel that supplies the angiosome whichisaffected(straight-lineflow),ratherthanrevascularizingoneoftheothertwovessels
thatmaysupplybloodviacollateralorarterialtoarterialconnections.42ClemensandAttinger retrospectivelyexaminedthe resultsofdirect versusindirectrevascularizationof 52 limbs. The direct revascularization group had fewer failures (9.1% vs. 38.1%) than the indirect revascularization group. Those who failed to heal underwent major amputation. The amputation rates were four times higher in the indirect revascularization group. There is increasing evidence to support the use of angioplasty in CLI patients with infrapopliteal disease.Onestudy,witha5-yearfollow-up,showedtibioperonealangioplastywaseffective with a clinical success rate of 95%. Among those patients whohad a clinically successful angioplasty,91%ofthoselimbsweresalvaged,only8%underwentbypasssurgeryandonly 9% neededsignificant amputations. Meta-analysisofinfrapoplitealangioplastybyRomiti et
al.43reported12-monthand36-monthresultsasfollows:primarypatencyratesat77.4%and
48.6%,secondarypatencyratesat83.3%and62.9%,limbsalvageratesat93.4%and82.4%, andpatient survival rates at 98.3% and 68.4%, respectively. Despite the marginal patency ratesat36months,thewoundhealingisbetterandisdefinitelyabetteroptionthanamputation.
