long-term patency (Fig. 20-23).
Until recently, uroki­nase was the agent of choice for catheter-directed throm­bolysis in the extremities; however, withdrawal of this agent from the market in late 1998 and early 1999 saw increased use of tissue plasminogen activators in the pe­riphery (Activase rt-PA, and retavase, r-PA).
Absolute contraindications to thrombolysis include re­cent gastrointestinal bleeding, recent neurosurgery or in­tracranial trauma, active bleeding diathesis, or recent transient ischemia attack or stroke. Relative contraindica­tions include recent history of major nonvascular surgery or trauma, uncontrolled hypertension, and intracranial tumor.
Results of thrombolysis
Randomized trials comparing catheter-directed throm­bolysis and surgical revascularization have been publish­ed and included hundreds of patients. These trials are not directly comparable because of differences in inclu­sion and exclusion criteria as well as in endpoints. There appears to be no significant difference in limb salvage at 6 to 12 months, reported at 81 to 89%. Patients having catheter-directed thrombolysis as initial therapy, however, appear to have decreased mortality (6.5 to 16%) com­pared with patients undergoing surgical revascularization (8.5 to 42%). Many interpret these findings to suggest that catheter-directed therapy may be safer for high-risk patients, with lysis appearing beneficial to the myocar­dium as well as the periphery. Furthermore, lysis appears to reduce the magnitude of the surgical procedure needed to restore perfusion. These trials used both tPA and urokinase.
42–44
It is important to remember that the
ultimate result of thrombolysis is highly dependent on treating the underlying lesion. Treatment of a diffusely diseased native vessel or bypass graft is unlikely to yield a durable result. Catheter-directed lysis is best when the duration of ischemia is 14 days or less.
If there is an embolic complication during lysis, the catheter can be advanced into the clot and lysis can be continued or a percutaneous aspiration can be per­formed using nontapered, large-diameter catheters at­tached to a 50-mL suction syringe. Thrombectomy devices such as the AngioJet by Possis Medical Inc. (Minneapolis, MN) can be used to augment thrombolysis and decrease infusion time.
45
A variety of percutaneous mechanical
thrombectomy devices have been used in Europe.
Miscellaneous conditions with vascular narrowing
Giant cell arteritis generally affects the upper extremities, but it occasionally can affect the femoral artery segments and is typically a disease of the medium-sized arteries. Takayasu’s disease is of gradual onset and rarely affects the lower extremities; however, Takayasu’s disease can involve the midabdominal aorta and renal arteries. Renal artery involvement is seen in about 35% of patients; the celiomesenteric arteries also can be involved. These pa­tients can present with claudication (upper and lower extremity), renovascular hypertension, and abdominal angina (Fig. 20-24). Abdominal aortic coarctation (“mid­aortic” syndrome) can occur without the typical aortic arch lesions of Takayasu’s disease and generally is seen in younger patients; there is controversy over whether mid­aortic syndrome is a subtype of Takayasu’s disease or

whether it is a distinct entity. Neurofibromatosis also must be considered in the differential diagnoses of renal or abdominal aortic narrowing.
Buerger’s disease
Buerger’s disease (thromboangiitis obliterans) is found
46
in male smokers aged 25 to 45 years.
It is a rare vasculitis and characteriscally presents with focal gangrene or is­chemic ulcers. Angiographically, there are abrupt occlu­sions and stenoses of the tibial arteries with small cork­screw collaterals. There may be thrombotic occlusion; there is proximal sparing. Buerger’s disease also can af­fect the upper extremities and can present as an acute ischemia.
Ergot disease
Ingestion of ergot compounds, typically for headache, may cause arterial spasm that can progress to thrombosis if untreated. The lesions are usually smooth, asymmetric,
and atypical for atherosclerosis (Fig. 20-25). Withdrawal of the offending drug will clear the symptoms.
47
Aneurysm disease
An aneurysm is a focal dilation of an artery greater than
1.5 times normal caliber. When diffuse, it is termed arte- riomegaly. Aneurysm disease traditionally was considered a manifestation of atherosclerosis, but recent evidence suggests it to be a heritable autoimmune process result­ing in inflammation and degradation of the medica and adventitia of the wall vessel.
48–51
Aneurysmal disease is also thought to be a deficiency in collagen elastase; there is an association between aortic aneurysm disease and pulmonary emphysema.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm
The aorta is the most common site of aneurysm forma­tion; 90 to 95% of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are infrarenal. AAA disease predominates strongly in

men. Iliac aneurysms usually occur as an extension of AAAs or are associated with femoral and popliteal aneu­rysms. Iliac aneurysms generally do not occur as isolated findings.
Abdominal aortic aneurysms are associated with com­plications that can be catastrophic if left untreated. The most feared complication of an AAA is rupture. The risk of rupture increases with aneurysm size. Generally, elec­tive repair is recommended for AAAs greater than 5 cm in diameter. AAAs also can thrombose or embolize thrombus peripherally. Inflammatory aneurysms have an added component of perianeurysmal fibrosis that can entrap or obstruct ureters; inflammation is best depicted by computed tomography (CT). The surgical procedure for AAA depends on the extent of the disease. Aorto–aorto grafts (tube grafts) are placed when there is a good cuff above the aortic bifurcation; if there is no cuff and the aneurysm extends down to the bifurcation or into the common iliac arteries, an aortobiiliac bypass usually is performed.
Imaging of abdominal aortic aneurysms has under­gone change over the past few years. Previously, most patients with AAAs underwent aortography. Now most uncomplicated aneurysms are imaged by CT, with aor­tography reserved for problem cases. These problem cases may include aneurysms in which there is less than
1.5 cm infrarenal neck or in which the aneurysm extends to the suprarenal aorta. Patients with suspected stenosis of the renal, mesenteric, or celiac arteries also may un­dergo aortography. Angiography is indicated if there is associated iliac stenosis because the usual aorto–aorto or aortoiliac bypass graft may need to be modified to an aorto–bifemoral bypass graft. The aortogram also may depict the status of the inferior mesenteric artery and the presence or absence of large lumbar arteries, which can
cause problems with bleeding at surgery. Other problems encountered during surgery include unsuspected retro­aortic or circumaortic renal veins, and these must be searched for on preoperative CT. Endovascular grafting for AAA is currently under active investigation, with two devices recently approved for market use: These devices typically need mapping angiography prior to placement. These patients are followed by interval CT after place­ment. Angiography is usually necessary to plan treatment for postimplant complications such as endoleaks, which can be seen in up to 22% of patients (Fig. 20-26).
Aortography performed for abdominal aortic aneu­rysms must include biplane views with a pigtail above the celiac artery. The lateral view is essential to demonstrate the presence or absence of an infrarenal neck because the aorta usually buckles forward at this level, underesti­mating the neck length on the frontal projection. The celiac axis and proximal aorta are demonstrated best on the lateral view. Pelvic arteriography is performed to demonstrate the distal extent of the AAA. In patients who have lower-extremity pulse decrements or a history of claudication or critical ischemia, associated runoff stud­ies are obtained. The slow flow within an aneurysm may mandate decreasing the injection rate and lengthening the film series timing. Unstable patients with suspected rupture should not undergo CT or angiography but should be brought directly to surgery. Angiograms will not show a leak and may delay getting the patient to the operating room. In stable patients with suspected rup­ture, an emergency CT should be obtained to confirm the leak and demonstrate anatomy prior to repair.
Angiographic findings in AAA include a focal widening of the aortic lumen greater than 3 cm; this is typically fusiform but may be saccular. This focal widening occa­sionally may be absent because contrast may progress

A “bald” aorta with absent lumbar arteries, inferior mesenteric artery occlusion, slow flow, and draping of the superior mesen­teric artery over the aneurysm are all angiographic find­ings associated with the presence of AAA (Fig. 20-27). Paradoxic smoothness of the lumen as a result of lami­nated thrombus also may be present.
If the aneurysm is unusually shaped (e.g., saccular) or in an unusual location, a mycotic aneur ysm should be considered. Salmonella species and Staphylococcus aureus are usually responsible for mycotic aneurysms. Mycotic aneurysms also include syphilitic aneurysms; these are rare but are more frequently suprarenal and may be multiple.
Lower-extremity aneurysms
Aneurysms in the lower extremities may be multiple. Extremity aneurysms are usually due to atherosclerosis. Lower-extremity aneurysms are associated with aortic, common iliac, and internal iliac artery aneurysm; thus, aortography and pelvic arteriography also should be obtained.
Common femoral artery aneurysms are defined as hav­ing a diameter larger than 150% of the external iliac artery diameter. There is a high incidence of bilaterality and an association with popliteal aneurysms. These aneu­rysms can rupture, occlude, or embolize. The differential diagnosis must include pseudoaneurysm. Common femoral artery pseudoaneurysms usually have a neck and usually are related to previous catheterizations; these may be treated by ultrasound compression if of recent origin and small.
52
Popliteal aneurysms are focal dilatation of the pop­liteal artery, with a diameter greater than 150% the di-
ameter of the distal superficial femoral artery. The pop­liteal artery is most frequently the lower-extremity site for the development of an aneurysm. Popliteal aneurysms typically occur above the knee joint, starting just distal to Hunter’s canal (Fig. 20-28). More than 50% of popliteal aneurysms are bilateral, and bilaterality is associated with the presence of aortic, iliac, and femoral aneurysms. Only 25% of popliteal aneurysms are solitary; thus, it is essential to invoke a search for other sites when a pop­liteal aneurysm is seen.
AAAs occur in one third of patients with popliteal
aneurysms. Abdominal ultrasound should be obtained.

There is a high association of popliteal aneurysms with diffuse pelvic and lower extremity arteriomegaly. In cases of popliteal artery thrombosis or in other cases where popliteal aneurysms are suspected, the arteriographer should search for calcium or mass effect as evidenced by draping of collaterals. Ultrasound is essential if a suspect popliteal aneurysm cannot be seen on angiography. Complications of popliteal aneurysms include throm­botic occlusion and distal embolization. There is a high incidence of limb loss (33 to 50%) if a popliteal aneurysm is missed. Rupture is rare, occurring in fewer than 4% of cases. These patients present with limb ischemia from embolization or thrombosis, but rarely they present with deep venous thrombosis from aneurysmal compression of the popliteal vein. Popliteal aneurysms are treated by excluding them from the circulation by a surgical bypass. Catheter-directed thrombolysis may be used to restore distal popliteal and trifurcation runoff after acute throm­botic or thromboembolic occlusion to improve the re­sults of bypass.
Other vascular abnormalities in the popliteal fossa
Cystic adventitial disease of the popliteal artery is a rare cause of popliteal occlusion or stenosis, typically occur­ring in young men. Cysts develop in the media and adven­titia and compress the lumen. Calf pain is the usual pre­senting symptom. On angiography, there may be segmental popliteal artery stenosis or occlusion with nor-
mal caliber proximally and distally. Ultrasound can be used to make a definitive diagnosis. The popliteal artery maintains a normal course.
Popliteal entrapment syndrome is another rare cause of peripheral ischemia and is due to an aberrant attach­ment of the gastrocnemius or popliteus muscle. Usually, medial deviation of the popliteal artery occurs, although the artery may have a normal course or lateral deviation, depending on the type of entrapment. Aneurysm forma­tion and thrombosis may develop. Narrowing is elicited by forced plantar flexion (Fig. 20-29).
■ Extremity Trauma
Emergency angiography is indicated for enlarging hema­toma, pulse deficit, or neurologic abnormality. Angiogra­phy is also usually obtained if there is knee dislocation or if the patient has suffered a shotgun wound, even if there are no immediate symptoms. Proximity injury without physical findings has a low angiographic yield (1 to 5%), and most now agree that emergency angiography is not needed.
53
With trauma, the angiogram may show pseudoaneurysm or extravasation, with or without arte­riovenous fistula occlusion; dissection; intimal flap; mural hematoma; or distal embolization. Whereas street or ve­hicular incidents are prominent causes of arterial trauma, iatrogenic trauma from needle punctures or catheterization is another increasingly important etiology (Figs. 20-30 through 20-33).

■ Epidemiology
Lower-extremity deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) is a com­mon condition that is seen in 34% of unselected medical patients and in 60% of unselected surgical patients by

autopsy series. tremity DVT, 35% to 51% have evidence of pulmonary embolism (PE) by ventilation perfusion scan, indicating that these two disease processes should be thought of as a continuum of the same process rather than as two separate conditions. leading cause of death in this country most common disease of the cardiovascular system, after myocardial infarction and stroke.
The incidence of PE in the United States has been estimated to be as high as 750,000 to 900,000 cases per year, with a mortality of 120,000 to 150,000 cases annu-

Asymptomatic thrombus formation in the veins of the calf, particularly the soleal sinuses, is probably a normal process that occurs throughout life in all persons. It is only when thrombus is not lysed by the body but rather propagates to a large central vein that a pathological condition exists. The propensity for progression to this pathological state has been observed for several groups of hospitalized patients, including those with recent sur­gery or trauma, heart disease, neoplastic disease, and systemic diseases.

For example, routine ultrasound examination of the lower-extremity veins in 542 asympto­matic intensive care unit (ICU) patients demonstrated previously unsuspected DVT in 11.4% of patients. suspected proximal DVT has been reported in 13 to 16% of patients presenting with acute hip fracture in two se­ries using ultrasound; has been reported as even higher (32%) in one series using ascending venography. postoperative DVT in 50 patients who underwent ab­dominal aortic aneurysm repair was reported as 18%, although involvement was limited to the calf veins in 78% of these patients. tients, the diagnosis of PE is not made before the patient

■ Diagnosis of DVT
Before the arrival of real-time ultrasound, the standard method of documenting lower-extremity DVT was con­trast venography (Fig. 21-1). Contrast venography pos­sesses several disadvantages relative to ultrasound that have led to replacement of venography by ultrasound as the initial imaging method for diagnosing this disease. First, contrast venography cannot be performed at the bedside. Patients must be transported to the radiology department to be evaluated by this technique and addi­tionally must be able to tolerate the changes in position required for optimal performance of this examination. Also, contrast introduced into the lower-extremity veins has been associated with an increased incidence of postvenography thrombophlebitis. This condition is sus-
