Abstract:
Objective To investigate the feature of CT perfusion of the lower limb skeletal muscle in patients with diabetic peripheral arterial disease (PAD).Methods It was a prospective study that collected out-patients and in-patients of interventional vascular surgery from January 2008 to January 2013.The patients were divided into three groups,including 27 patients (54 limbs) in diabetic PAD group,27 patients (54 limbs) in common PAD group and 9 patients (18 limbs) in control group.Patients in diabetic PAD group were selected when PAD were diagnosed through CTA and patient had the exact history of diabetes.There were 54 limbs in diabetic PAD group,including 10 limbs in Fontaine Ⅰ class,21 limbs in Fontaine Ⅱ class,14 limbs in Fontaine Ⅲ class and 9 limbs in Fontaine Ⅳ class.Patients in common PAD group were selected when PAD were diagnosed through CTA,patients those had the exact history of diabetes or coronary heart disease were exclusion.Patients in control group were collected with negative CTA results.CT perfusion scans of lower extremities were performed in all patients.Time density curve (TDC),Blood flow (BF),blood volume (BV),mean transit time (MMT) and permeability surface (PS) of skeletal muscle in different pathologic stage were obtained with perfusion software.The differences of perfusion parameters among diabetic PAD group,common PAD group and control group were compared by analysis of variance; and the differences of perfusion parameters among control group and all Fontaine classes in diabetic PAD group were also compared.Results TDC of normal skeletal muscle in control group continued to rise,and raise rapidly at an early stage; TDC of diabetic PAD group and common PAD group continued to rise,but raise slowly; the TDC of ischemia skeletal muscle has smaller slope and lower peak value than that of control group.The values of BF were (10.41±0.92) ml · 100 ml-1 · min-1 in control group,(13.37± 1.15) ml · 100 ml-1 · min-1 in diabetic PAD group and (17.12 ±0.81)ml· 100 ml-1· min-1in common PAD group.The values of BV were (1.04± 0.13)ml/L in control group,(1.23 ±0.16)ml/L in diabetic PAD group and (1.84 ±0.23) ml/L in common PAD group.The values of MTT were (11.63 ± 1.45) s in control group,(7.92±0.35) s in diabetic PAD group and (7.82±0.38) s in common PAD group.The values of PS were (3.46±0.84) ml· 100 ml 1· min-1 in control group,(9.84±0.87) ml· 100 ml-1· min-1 in diabetic PAD group and (12.11 ±0.70)ml· 100 ml-1· min-1in common PAD group.The differences of the values of BF,BV,MTT and PS among the three groups were statistically significant (F values were 10.892,4.492,27.543 and 20.506,P all＜0.05).The differences of the values of BF,BV among control group and all Fontaine classes in diabetic PAD group were not statistically significant(P all＞0.05),the differences of the values of MTT,PS were statistically significant.And the differences of the values of MTT,PS between control group and each Fontaine class in diabetic PAD were statistically significant (P all＜0.05).Conclusions CT perfusion imaging of Lower extremity skeletal muscle can prompt the existence of early skeletal muscle ischemia for diabetic PAD.The method can be valuable for clinical early diagnosis.
