introduction and demographics of amputation

• Peripheral arterial disease (PAD), atherosclerosis, is present in up to 29% of the US population and estimated 202 Million people world wide

• Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) was diagnosed in more than 3.4 million Americans in 2015 and predicted to increase to more than 4 million by 2030.

• Patients with critical limb ischemia have an overall poor prognosis

• 1 year mortality = 25%

• 5 year mortality = 50%

thesagegroup.us, Amputation Prevention Symposium 2016

introduction and demographics of amputation

• Patients presenting with CLI:

• Initial Treatment

• 50% revascularized

• 25% medical management only

• 25% receive a primary amputation

“Prevalence, Incidence, and Outcomes of Critical Limb Ischemia in the US Medicare Population”, Vascular Disease Management, 2013:10(2):E26-E36

introduction and demographics of amputation

• CLI patient 1 year later

• 25% CLI resolved

• 30% alive with amputation

• 20% continue to have CLI

• 25% have died

introduction and demographics of amputation

• approximately 120,000 LE amputations are performed annually in the US

• the lifetime direct healthcare cost for an amputee patient is $794,027.

• when aggregated for the total number of LE amputations, the expected lifetime cost is roughly $95.2 billion

“Prevalence, Incidence, and Outcomes of Critical Limb Ischemia in the US Medicare Population”, Vascular Disease Management, 2013:10(2):E26-E36

introduction and demographics of amputation

• following an initial LE amputation,

• 27% will have 1 or more re-amputations within 1 year

• 40% progressed to a higher level of limb loss within a year

• 62% if patient has DM

• 55% of those with PAD will have the other limb amputated within 2-3 years.

How endovascular surgeons are trained

• Endovascular approach first, open surgery second.

• Requirements for a successful revascularization• Inflow, Conduit, Outflow• “Faucet, hose, sprinkler”

• Role of Outflow in Wound Healing• More flow to the wound should result in better wound healing• Endovascular technique allows attempts at three vessel treatments and

may reach vessels too small for open surgery

• Role of stents in Endovascular Surgery• Primarily “bail-out”, with exceptions• DO NOT cover your Surgical Zones, aka “no stent territories”

General List of Therapeutic Options

• endovascular interventions

• angioplasty

• atherectomy

• stent

Plain Old Balloon Angioplasty (POBA)

• Angioplasty was first described by the US interventional radiologist Charles Dotter in 1964.

• On January 16, 1964, Dotter percutaneously dilated a tight, localized stenosis of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) in an 82-year-old woman with painful leg ischemia and gangrene who refused leg amputation.

• The first percutaneous coronary angioplasty on an awake patient was performed in Zurich by the German radiologist Andreas Gruentzig on September 16, 1977.

Plain Old Balloon Angioplasty (POBA)

• Results:

• 5 year patency , 36% for class A and B lesions, 12% for class C and D lesions

• 4 year limb salvage, 70-80%

• 37% require “bail-out” stent

Cryo-Balloon

• Cryoplasty uses nitrous oxide as the dilation medium at -10°C • apoptosis of the smooth muscle cells in the vessel wall,• plaque modification,• reduces elastic recoil of the vessels by altering elastin fibers in the wall.

• Outcomes were initially good with up to 75% 3 year patency. • Reduced amount of “Bail-out” stenting but did not change 1 year patency from POBA • Meta-analysis in 2013 was inconclusive for benefit of Cryoplasty• Cryotherapy is now being marketed as an alternative to RF ablation in chronic Afib.

Cutting Balloons

• Atherotomes deliver a controlled fault line by scoring the plaque longitudinally rather than an uncontrolled dissection.

• micro-surgical blades extend 0.005”

• Allows for decreased risk of barotrauma and neointimal hyperplasia

• Typically used in 2-4 mm vessels

J Invasive Cardiol. 2002 Sep;14(9):552-6.

Cutting balloon angioplasty.

Chocolate Balloon

• Standard balloons are wrapped with pleated folds. This can create rotational torque on a plaque when they open.

• Nitinol constraining structure of the Chocolate balloon creates “pillows” and “grooves” with uniform expansion to improve plaque modification and reduce dissection.

• Maintains a cylindrical shape to allow for more controlled expansion and rapid deflation; reduces need for cutting balloons.

Drug Coated Balloon Angioplasty(DCB)

• Drug eluting devices inhibit neointimal growth of vascular smooth muscle cells and therefore potentially prevent restenosis

• Paclitaxel bound to different agents and dripped onto standard balloons in different strengths.

• anti proliferative

• rapid cellular uptake

• Downstream losses can inhibit wound healing and rare cases of vasculitis reported.

70 year old lady with a history of right SFA stents, coronary stents, ongoing tobacco use, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia is referred by her podiatrist for foot pain.

She has known spine disease s/p multiple injections without relief. She has no palpable pulses below the groin. no ulcers. worsened with exercise which she says is mostly limited by her back.

She has worsening bilateral LE rest pain especially on the left. ABI 0.45 right and 0.2 left. no ulcers.

Conclusions:• Amputation is still far too frequent and costly

• Advanced endovascular techniques continue to improve outcomes while reducing patient risk and discomfort.

• Drug coated balloon angioplasty promises to reduce recurrence of peripheral occlusive lesions.

• Orbital Atherectomy is designed to treat calcified vascular disease

• Endovascular Stents can be used in a wide variety of applications.
