The purpose of this study was to evaluate the technical feasability, safety, and 1-year efficacy of the endovascular treatment of atherosclerotic common femoral artery (CFA) obstructions.
Atherosclerotic CFA obstruction is a known cause of symptomatic peripheral arterial disease. Although surgical endarterectomy is considered the therapy of choice for this condition, little is known about the percutaneous options.
Using a prospectively maintained single-center database, we retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of 360 consecutive percutaneous interventions of the CFA for atherosclerotic disease and assessed procedural success, in-hospital complications, and 1-year patency and target lesion revascularization rates.
Ninety-seven procedures (26.9%) were isolated CFA interventions, whereas 157 (43.6%) and 152 (42.2%) also involved inflow and outflow vessels, respectively. Bifurcation lesions were present in 140 cases (38.9%), and concomitant treatment of the profunda femoral artery was performed on 93 occasions (25.8%). Chronic total CFA occlusions were recanalized in 60 cases (16.7%). Balloon angioplasty was performed as the primary intervention in virtually all cases (98.6%), whereas stenting was needed for suboptimal angioplasty results in 133 procedures (36.9%). Failures-defined as a final angiographic result with a >30% residual stenosis-were observed on 26 occasions (7.2%). In-hospital major (i.e., requiring surgery) and minor (i.e., treated percutaneously or conservatively) complications occurred in 5 (1.4%) and 18 (5.0%) procedures, respectively. One-year follow-up data were available for 281 patients (87.5%). Restenosis >50% by duplex scanning and target lesion revascularization were observed in 74 of 268 (27.6%) and 64 of 322 (19.9%) procedures, respectively.
This large series suggests that the percutaneous approach may be a valid alternative to surgery for CFA atherosclerotic obstructions.
本研究旨在评估腔内治疗粥样硬化性股总动脉(CFA)阻塞的技术可行性、安全性和 1 年疗效。
粥样硬化性 CFA 阻塞是症状性外周动脉疾病的已知原因。虽然外科内膜切除术被认为是该病症的首选治疗方法,但对于经皮治疗方法知之甚少。
我们使用前瞻性维护的单中心数据库,回顾性分析了 360 例连续的 CFA 粥样硬化性疾病经皮介入治疗的结果,并评估了手术成功率、住院并发症以及 1 年通畅率和靶病变血运重建率。
97 例(26.9%)为单纯 CFA 介入治疗,157 例(43.6%)和 152 例(42.2%)分别还涉及流入和流出血管,140 例(38.9%)为分叉病变,93 例(25.8%)同时进行了股深动脉治疗。60 例(16.7%)慢性完全性 CFA 闭塞得到再通。几乎所有病例(98.6%)均采用单纯球囊血管成形术作为主要治疗手段,而 133 例(36.9%)因血管成形术效果不理想而需要支架置入。26 例(7.2%)出现失败定义为最终血管造影结果显示残余狭窄>30%。住院期间发生主要(即需要手术)和次要(即经皮或保守治疗)并发症分别为 5 例(1.4%)和 18 例(5.0%)。281 例患者(87.5%)获得 1 年随访数据。268 例中有 74 例(27.6%)和 322 例中有 64 例(19.9%)经双功能超声检查发现再狭窄>50%,靶病变血运重建。
本大系列研究表明,腔内治疗方法可能是 CFA 粥样硬化性阻塞的一种有效替代手术的方法。
