Summary
Balloon angioplasty remains the cornerstone of endovascular treatment for occlu­sive arterial disease. Controlled dissection to facilitate luminal expansion is its main goal. However, that vascular injury may trigger a cellular response that leads to negative remodeling, restenosis and return of ischemic symptoms. Furthermore, uncontrolled dissection and deep blood vessel wall injury may result in acute

Controlling Dissections inPeripheral Arterial Interventions
NicolasW.Shammas
Injury to the deeper layers of an infrainguinal artery is a potent trigger for resteno­sis, loss of patency, and the need for future target revascularization [1–3]. Dissections are an inevitable consequence of balloon angioplasty (PTA) and are the main mech­anism to gain minimal luminal area (MLA) and prevent vessel recoil [4]. Recent research has focused on how to balance the occurrence of dissections and the gain in MLA without a detrimental disruption to the deeper layers of an artery. Also the interaction between residual narrowing, dissections’ extent, dissection repair, and the use of antiproliferative therapy needs to be better explored because paclitaxel­coated balloons and dissection repair have been shown to partially mitigate some of the negative consequences of dissections. In this chapter, I will explore this concept more based on some ndings from clinical trials.
Traditionally, the NHLBI classication has been used to classify dissections based on angiographic ndings [5] (Table6.1). This classication was adopted from the coronary literature and has several limitations. It only considers the single worst dissection regardless of number of dissections and does not consider the length, depth, and extent of dissections. Deeper injury is also not well appreciated using angiography, and therefore, this type of injury is not adequately or accurately cap­tured by the NHLBI classication. These deeper injuries may not be visible or may appear low grade on angiogram. Larger arcs of dissections can also be missed on angiography and may not be well represented by the NHLBI classication. Despite its shortcomings, the NHLBI classication has been able to predict acute vessel

closure and loss of patency [6, 7]. NHLBI types C–F showed a signicantly lower patency rate (p<0.001) and higher clinically driven TLR (p<0.001) compared to type A and B dissections.
Recently, a new angiographic-based classication was published which is dedi­cated to peripheral arteries. In the DISFORM study, Voute etal. [8] obtained expert consensus on features of dissections in the femoropopliteal artery that can poten­tially predict a poor outcome following intervention. An expert panel of 17 interven­tionalists ranked dissection features that have the potential to lead to acute technical failure and/or early restenosis and which combination of features would require repair of these dissections to improve outcome. Panelists recommended scaffolding in the presence of signicant diameter reduction, spiral shape, ow impairment, or adverse morphology (Fig. 6.1). The Flow Impairment in Peripheral Intervention (FLIP) method was adopted (Table6.2). The relationship of this classication to clinical outcome is yet unclear and needs to be determined in future studies.
Precise Imaging
Precise imaging within the vessel wall is critical to evaluate the degree and extent of dissections. The iDissection grading system uses intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to classify dissections in infrainguinal interventions. The depth of dissection is graded as A (intima), B (media), and C (adventitia). The arc of dissection is graded as 1 (less than 180°) or 2 (more or equal 180°). This six-grade classication (A1, B1, C1, A2, B2, C2) is reliable and can quickly be performed during the procedure (Fig.6.2, Table6.3) [9].
The iDissection grading system was used for the rst time in a small study evalu­ating the number, depth, and extent of dissections following atherectomy [10]. In this study, Jetstream atherectomy (n=13) and B-laser (n=2) were used. De novo and non-stent restenotic lesions were included. Angiography and IVUS (Eagle Eye

was present in 26.7% of patients, and 60% of lesions had grade 3 and 4 PACCS grade calcication. Adjunctive balloon angioplasty was performed in all patients (Shockwave 33.3%, drug-coated balloons 100%). Mean balloon pressures and ina­tion times were 10.3 atmospheres and 310s. Procedural success (<30% residual narrowing at the end of procedure) was accomplished in all patients, and residual narrowing post-angioplasty was 19.7%. Dissections were identied four to six times more on IVUS when compared to angiography (post-atherectomy and adjunctive angioplasty IVUS to angiographic dissection ratios were 5.75–1 and 3.55–1, respec­tively) (Fig.6.1). Wider dissections >180° were also noted on IVUS in 13% and 31% post-atherectomy and adjunctive PTA, respectively. Furthermore, deeper dis­sections involving the media and adventitia occurred in 39.1% and 33.3% post­atherectomy and adjunctive PTA, respectively. Finally, IVUS identied intramural hematoma in 13.3% of vessels post-atherectomy. These results showed clearly that Jetstream atherectomy can create a damage to the inner layer of the arterial wall and potentially this may offset some of its benet in reducing restenosis from plaque removal.
The iDissection classication also was tested with the Flex VP (VentureMed Group) atherotome and was found to have a low number of deeper dissections. The FLEX Vessel Prep System (VentureMed Group) is a one-size-ts-all device with three atherotomes mounted on a self-expanding treating element designed to create multiple longitudinal, controlled-depth, continuous micro-incisions across the entire lesion length. IVUS-based analysis post-FLEX VP was recently published and conrmed less deep dissections (media and adventitia) than seen with historical data from some atherectomy devices [11]. In 15 patients treated with the FLEX VP followed by adjunctive balloon angioplasty (Shockwave 33.3%, PTA 26.7%, drug­coated balloon 40%) for de novo or non-stent restenotic femoropopliteal disease, procedural success was 86.7% (<30% residual narrowing at the end of procedure). Minimal luminal area increased from a median of 5.2 to 15.0mm2 (p<0.001) with no change in reference lumen diameter or plaque burden area (p=0.32). Of all new dissections (n=37) post-FLEX VP and PTA, 18.9% were more than 180° in cir­cumference, and 21.6% involved the media and adventitia. These numbers appear favorable compared to rotational and aspiration atherectomy, but head-to-head com­parison data are not available. The low number of large aps and deeper dissections may offer an explanation to the low provisional stenting seen with this device. The impact of these encouraging acute results on long-term outcomes is not yet known.
A recent study with the Auryon laser system has shown a very minimal number of C dissections based on the iDissection classication system [12]. In a prospective study of 29 patients, adventitial injury was assessed by IVUS following Auryon laser treatment and adjunctive balloon angioplasty. Core laboratory analysis was carried on all cases except for one patient (that crossed over to Jetstream atherec­tomy). Bailout stenting occurred in 21.4% patients (three for dissections, two for residual >30%, and one for both). By IVUS, there were 9 new dissections post-laser (1 adventitial; 3 ≥180°) and 21 new dissections post-laser and PTA (3 adventitial; 1 ≥180°). This small number of deep dissections can be attributed to the physics property of the long wavelength (355nm) of the Auryon laser. The Auryon laser

thermal injury dissipates quickly as it travels away from the tip of the catheter mak­ing deeper thermal injury less likely.
It is clear from precision imaging that various devices have the ability to remove a different amount of tissue from the treated vessels and lead to a range of deep damage to the inner layers of the artery. A balance between the extent of tissue exci­sion and deep injury is likely to be of paramount interest when it comes to reducing long-term adverse events. The interaction of tissue removal, deep injury, dissection repair, and the application of antiproliferative therapy needs to be explored further.

The Relationship Between Deep Injury, Plaque Excision, Dissection Repair, andAntiproliferative Therapy
Several studies suggested an association between arterial dissections and high resid­ual narrowing on poor outcomes in the treatment of infrainguinal arterial disease. However, the applications of antiproliferative therapy and dissections’ repair seem to mitigate at least partially the subsequent adverse outcomes of dissections and high residual narrowing. Below are some studies that may give some insights into this interaction.
Aggressive Debulking, High Rate ofDeeper Dissections, andAntiproliferative Treatment
The Jetstream atherectomy device is a high-power device in plaque excision and leads to low residual narrowing on its own (typically less than 50%). However, it also causes its share of deeper dissections into the vessel wall by IVUS although angiographically this may not always be apparent [9]. In the JET Registry [13], a prospective study of Jetstream atherectomy with no drug-coated balloons (DCB), the freedom from TLR was 79–80% at 1year. In the JET-SCE [14], a retrospective study of all comers treated with the Jetstream atherectomy device, freedom from TLR was reduced to 69.8% at 1 year, but the cohort of patients receiving Jetstream+DCB had a freedom from TLR of 95.2%. Recently, data from the JET­RANGER [15] study presented at TCT 2021 have shown that freedom from TLR was 100% at 1year in the cohort of patients who received the Jetstream atherectomy and either the Ranger DCB or IN.PACT DCB balloons. In the JET-RANGER, there was no bailout stenting in the Jetstream + DCB cohort based on lack of angio­graphic presence of a ow-limiting dissection or the presence of more than 30% residual narrowing. These studies point to the following:
(a) Aggressive debulking does not on its own lead to a better outcome. (b) The administration of antiproliferative therapy had a strong mitigating factor on
reducing the poor outcomes of deeper dissections with (JET-SCE) or without (JET-RANGER) repair in the setting of aggressive debulking device.
