Endovascular treatment in peripheral arterial disease

چکیده
Endovascular treatment thirty-three after the first published report on angioplasty, continues to be a rapidly evolving field for the treatment of patients with peripheral arterial disease. A multitude of studies detailing technical improvements and innovative developments have been published. The morphology of a lesion may have an influence on the technical outcome, results at follow up and also risk of treatment. The TASC (TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus) document introduced a classification system that categorised lesions with regard to their accessibility to either percutaneus treatment or surgery. It categorised lesions into four types with: type A lesions ideal for endovascular approach; type B lesions where endovascular approach is still the preferred technique; type C lesions where surgical approach is preferred and type D lesions where surgery is the option of choice. Today, endovascular practice, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with or without stenting, is used far more frequently for all types of lower extremity occlusive lesions, reflecting the continuing advances in imaging techniques, angioplasty equipment, and endovascular expertise. The role of endovascular intervention, PTA/ stenting, in the treatment of peripheral arterial disease is also expanding, and its promise of limb salvage and symptom relief with reduced morbidity and mortality makes an attractive alternative to surgery and, as most endovascular interventions are performed on brief hospitalizations, hospital costs are cut considerably. Compared with open surgical procedures, endovascular interventions offer comparable or superior long-term rates of success. Published: 19 May 2010

Surgical infrainguinal revascularization for peripheral arterial disease: factors affecting patency rate
Background: Peripheral arterial disease is a source of morbidity and mortality. Surgical vascular reconstruction is a treatment option but probability of failure and complications are important concerns. In this study, we evaluated outcome of surgical infrainguinal reconstruction and factors affecting graft patency for a period of one year. Methods: In this cohort study, 85 consecutive patie...

Methods: We conducted a comparative study of two groups of patients suffering from arterial insufficiency of the lower extremities, and the decision taken to amputate above the knee for both of them. A group of patients selected for a therapeutic peripheral intervention, and the effect of this intervention in improving the level of amputation studied and calculated statistically. The study cond...
متن کاملMidterm results of endovascular treatment of iliac artery lesions: analysis of 59 cases
Background: Endovascular treatment of peripheral arterial occlusive disease has become increasingly frequent in the past few years. Because it is a less invasive procedure, lower morbidity and mortality rates are associated with this form of treatment. Objectives: To describe the endovascular procedures performed in iliac arteries for the treatment of peripheral arterial occlusive disease. Meth...
متن کاملEndovascular intervention for peripheral artery disease.
Advances in endovascular therapies during the past decade have broadened the options for treating peripheral vascular disease percutaneously. Endovascular treatment offers a lower risk alternative to open surgery in many patients with multiple comorbidities. Noninvasive physiological tests and arterial imaging precede an endovascular intervention and help localize the disease and plan the proce...
