Leriche syndrome occurs in men and is characterized by absent or severely diminished femoral pulses, thigh and buttock claudication, and impotence. Anatomically, the Leriche syndrome consists of severe atherosclerotic nar­rowing of the distal aorta and common iliac arteries. Nonsmoking diabetic patients generally develop occlu­sions of the tibioperoneal arteries in addition to femoro­popliteal lesions; aortoiliac involvement is seen much less frequently. Thus, diabetic patients presenting for limb salvage will have multilevel disease, which is generally infrainguinal and more difficult to treat than disease in the larger, more proximal vessels (Fig. 20-6).
Lower-extremity ischemia has a differential diagnosis that is extensive and includes arteriosclerosis obliterans, thromboembolic disease, dissection, thrombosis of an
aneurysm, and in situ thrombosis. Classically, patients with the “blue toe” syndrome present with ischemic toes with intact pedal pulses. This disease is due to cholesterol microembolization from aortic, iliac, and femoral artery plaques. Angiography is performed to find the source. Blue toe syndrome may be treated by angioplasty stents, atherectomy, or surgical means.
Treatment for chronic atheroocclusive disease
As noted, patients with claudication usually should be treated by managing risk factors such as hyperlipidimia and smoking; an exercise program in which walking through claudication is probably of value. In patients with critical limb ischemia (Rutherford categories 4 to 6),

however, intervention is indicated. Control of pain and infection related to the ischemic limb and optimization of cardiorespiratory function are important. The primary aim of endovascular or open surgical techniques is relief of rest pain and healing of ischemic skin lesions. The choice between a percutaneous interventional procedure and open surger y generally depends on the exact level and extent of the obstructive disease. In a large series of limb salvage patients, about one third underwent angioplasty alone or angioplasty combined with open surgery to treat multisegment disease.
2
Combinations of percutaneous and open procedures and surgery can be used to treat multisegment disease. For example, donor iliac artery angioplasty and stenting may be used to improve inflow for a cross-femoral graft. The presence of a pressure gradient across an iliac stenosis indicates the need for dilatation (Figs. 20-7 through 20-9).
3
Some inter ventional radiologists prefer primary stent­ing of all iliac artery occlusions and stenoses; however, there is evidence to suggest that the first-line treatment for a focal, simple iliac stenosis should be angioplasty, with stenting reserved for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) failure or complex lesion morphology such as occlusion, ulceration, or grossly irregular plaque (Fig. 20-10).
4,5
Immediate PTA failure is defined by the presence of residual pressure gradient, flow limiting dis­section, thrombosis, or elastic recoil with residual lumenal narrowing.

The use of PTA with stenting has resulted in patency rates in the iliac segments of 90% and 80% at 1 and 3 years respec­tively. Angioplasty alone is generally applied to focal, sim­ple stenoses of the common iliac arteries (Figs. 20-13
).

Technical success for all occlusions and stenoses ranges from 85 to 99%, with primary patency and clinical success rates at 2 to 3 years of up to 80 to 82%. patency rates can be improved even further.

complications range from 4 to 7% (Fig. 20-16).
It is important to note that many patient-related and anatomy-related factors will affect the outcome of a PTA and stenting. In general, focal disease responds well to
percutaneous therapy, whereas diffuse disease does not. Proximal lesions (e.g., aortoiliac segments) respond bet­ter to either percutaneous techniques or surgery than do distal ones (e.g., tibial segments). Stenoses historically fare better than occlusions, primarily because some oc­clusions cannot be crossed. With current technology, vir­tually all femoropopliteal artery stenoses and occlusions now can be crossed and dilated. The status of runoff below the angioplasty site is an extremely important pre­dictor of patency. Patients presenting with critical limb ischemia rather than claudication generally fare less well

with percutaneous techniques, primarily because they have more diffuse disease. Similarly, diabetic patients have been reported to fare worse than nondiabetics with infrainguinal PTA, but this is probably statistically con­founded by runoff status and extent of disease.
11
Femoropopliteal artery angioplasty has a technical suc­cess rate of 85 to 95%, 62 to 86% primar y patency at 1 year, and 45 to 60% primary patency at 3 years (Fig. 20-17). The prognosis for durability in the femoropop­liteal distribution is highly dependent on lesion site, length, and runoff status as well as clinical presentation. Claudicators with proximal focal lesions and good runoff fare best; conversely, limb-salvage patients with diffuse disease do poorly. Lesions 10 cm or longer usually should be treated surgically.
12–20
Stents are effective in salvaging acute failed PTA (due to elastic recoil, dissection, or thrombosis) but not as a primary therapy or in treating late restenoses.
21–23
PTA of infrapopliteal arteries is reserved for patients with limb-threatening critical ischemia (Rutherford cate­gories 4 through 6.) Infrapopliteal PTA is associated with a limb salvage rate of 60 to 80%, and a technical success rate greater than 90%. It is most effective in selected patients with focal lesions, and good runoff distal to the PTA site. It is ineffective in diffuse disease. It may be performed in conjunction with femoropopliteal PTA (Fig. 20-18).
24–30
Adjunctive mechanical techniques (e.g., rotoblator, atherectomy) may be helpful in selected pa­tients, but they are not a first-line therapy or widely used.
It is difficult to compare the results of surgery and PTA in patients with peripheral arterial disease. In patients with anatomically favorable lesions who were predomi­nantly claudicators, one randomized study found about equal effectiveness, that a failed PTA did not place the patient at higher risk for limb loss or surgical failure, and
that survival was improved in the PTA group.
31,32
Another demonstrated a significant decrease in the length of hos­pital stay
33
for the PTA group compared with the surgery group and comparable medium-term results in both pa­tient groups. One recent cost-effectiveness study demon­strated that for claudicators, femoropopliteal angioplasty is more cost effective as a first strategy for stenosis and occlusion, but for patients with chronic limb ischemia, femoropopliteal occlusions should be bypassed, whereas patients with stenoses should undergo PTA first.
34
It is likely that surveillance and repeat inter vention
would improve the assisted primary patency rates of

PTA.
The use of intravascular metallic stents to rescue failed angioplasties has proven beneficial in the femoro­popliteal distribution, but not as a primary therapy. Some researchers believe that lysis of the organized fibrin thrombus in a long chronic iliac or femoropopliteal ar­tery occlusion will unmask a shorter underlying critical atheromatous plaque more amenable to PTA. The role of thrombolysis for “debulking” chronic iliac occlusions prior to PTA is controversial.
■ Acute Ischemia of the Lower Extremities
Patients with acute ischemia of the lower extremities typi­cally present with the five P’s on physical examination: pain, pulse deficit, pallor, paresthesia, and paralysis. Ur­gent arteriography is indicated. The pain is often more diffuse than in chronic critical ischemia, extending from the foot up the calf. Pedal pulses are usually absent. Pallor may be seen early, but cyanosis may supervene with time (Table 20-3). A cool or cold extremity, especially if the opposite leg is normal in temperature, is important to note; transition levels for cooler temperature may be

present and are generally one limb segment below the level of arterial occlusion. Patients may complain of numbness or paresthesias, which may be subtle and should be differentiated from underlying diabetic neuropathy. The presence of paralysis or even a partial motor deficit is an indication of advanced limb-threaten­ing ischemia; in such cases, where a delay could cause further deterioration, the patient may be taken directly to the operating room. With newer and quicker lytic tech­niques these patients may also benefit from angiography and percutaneous inter vention.
Nonatherosclerotic causes of acute limb ischemia or acute pulse loss include thromboembolism, dissection (Fig. 20-19) trauma, arteritis, hypercoagulable state with thrombosis, vasospasm (e.g., ergotism), cardiogenic “low­flow” state, and popliteal cyst or entrapment with throm­bosis and distal embolism. In atherosclerotic patients, in situ thrombosis of a critical athrosclerotic plaque may engender acute limb ischemia. Abdominal or popliteal aneurysm thrombosis or thrombosis of a surgical bypass graft also can cause acute limb ischemia in patients with
TABLE 20-3. Clinical Categories of Acute Limb Ischemia
atherosclerosis. Acute deep venous thrombosis, low-flow states in patients with heart failure, or acute compressive neuropathy occasionally may mimic acute limb ischemia. The blue toe syndrome results from microembolism off proximal athrosclerotic sites, resulting in a painful and cool cyanotic toe. In this syndrome, pedal pulses are preserved.

Thromboembolic disease
Patients with lower-extremity emboli present with sudden profound ischemia if the underlying vessels are normal and there are no large collaterals. These patients may have bilateral or multilevel occlusion. The emboli usually lodge at branch points, where vessels change caliber, oc­cluding both main and collateral vessels. Fifty-eight per­cent of peripheral emboli are found in the lower extremi­ties distal to the inguinal ligament, and 38% of lower-extremity emboli lodge at the common femoral artery bifurcation. Risk factors include cardiac arryth­mias (e.g., atrial fibrillation) and endocarditis (e.g., intra-

venous drug abuse). The heart is the most common source of emboli, and workup should include echo­cardiography. Aortic or peripheral aneurysms, mural aor­tic thrombi, and iatrogenic causes also must be consid­ered. Rarely, paradoxical emboli through a patent foramen ovale can present with peripheral arterial em­boli and pulmonary emboli. Emboli to the renal and mesenteric arteries can occur with peripheral emboli. Angiography should be directed toward defining the lev­els of occlusion, distal runoff, and defining the vascular source, if possible. Angiographically, there are occlusions
of minimally diseased vessels, intraluminal filling defects, and poorly developed arterial collaterals (Fig. 20-20). Branch-point occlusions and superior convex menisci are seen. Multiplicity is the hallmark of peripheral emboli (Fig. 20-21). There may be associated vasospasm.
The differentiation of acute thromboembolic disease versus thrombosis in situ may be straightforward, given the clinical history and the angiogram. In elderly patients with underlying atherosclerosis, however, there may be some difficulty in narrowing the diagnosis. A superior convex meniscus alone may be seen with both entities

). The femoropopliteal arteries are otherwise widely patent
and represents the most proximal extent of thrombus after retrograde propagation from the focal embolic nidus or thrombosed focal plaque (Fig. 20-22.) Retro­grade thrombosis usually extends back to a well-devel­oped collateral branch. Thus, multiple concurrent sites of acute occlusion are needed to make the angiographic diagnosis of emboli with absolute certainty.
Treatment for acute limb ischemia
Amputation rates are proportional to the interval from the onset of acute limb ischemia to treatment; urgent angiography is warranted. Immediate management is di­rected toward administering therapeutic levels of hepa­rin, which will minimize thrombus propagation and de­crease the incidence of additional emboli.
37,38
Treating associated congested heart failure or cardiac arrythmias is also important, and pain control is usually necessary. Acute limb ishemia continues to be associated with sub­stantial limb loss and mortality from coexistent cardiac disease. Clinical categories of acute ischemia are noted in Table 20-3.
In patients in whom the degree of limb ischemia allows time for aortofemoral arteriography, catheter-directed “regional” thrombolysis is often the initial treatment of choice.
The lytic agents are delivered intraarterially, directly into the clot. The location and anatomy of the target lesions as well as patient and surgery-related risk factors must be considered. Catheter-directed thrombolysis has advantages over surgical thromboembolectomy in de­creasing the manipulation of and trauma to the endothe­lium during dissolution of thrombus, uncovering the un­derlying lesion, and visualizing the runoff vessels.
