Abstract:
Objective To evaluate medium-term results in critical limb ischemia (CLI) patients undergoing endovascularly revascularization based on concepts of angiosomes.Methods Clinical data were reviewed on 612 CLI patients who had isolated below-the-knee (BTK)lesions and were treated by endovascular technology from June 2006 to May 2012.Following the angiosome model of perfusion,286 patients (357 limbs)were treated by directly revascularizing the feeding artery.326 patients (455 limbs)were treated by revascularizing non-feeding artery to improve perfusion to ulcer indirectly.Primary endpoints included ulce-healing rate as of 3 months,amputation-free survival( AFS),freedom from major amputation (FFMA) and recurrence rate of CLI.Results During follow-up(mean,24 ± 18 months),ulce-healing rate during 3 months of direct treatment group was obviously higher than that of indirect group (82.4％ vs.66.4％,X2 =26.16,P ＜0.05).The fourth year AFS was 48％ ±5％ vs.37％ ±6％,t =3.44,P ＜0.05,and the fourth year FFMA was 73％ ±4％ vs.58％ ±3％,t =4.61,P ＜0.05.In recurrence rate of CLI,there wasn't significant difference between direct group and indirect group(42％ ±5％ vs.45％ ±6％,t =- 0.64,P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusions Following the angiosome model of perfusion,direct revascularizing the feeding artery of CLI patients can obviously improve ulcer-healing rate during 3 months,medium-term AFS and FFMA.
