Study summary

A custom-made, 2D-perfusion digital subtraction angiography (PDSA) algorithm has been designed and implemented towards foot perfusion quantification following endovascular treatment of critical limb ischemia (CLI), in order to assist intra-procedural decision-making and enhance clinical outcomes.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, single-center, study investigating the feasibility of 2D-PDSA using newly-developed, non-commercially available, color-coded software for the quantification of foot perfusion following infrapopliteal angioplasty for the treatment of CLI. In total, 7 consecutive patients scheduled to undergo infrapopliteal endovascular treatment of CLI were enrolled. Perfusion Blood Volume (PBV), Mean Transit Time (MTT), and Perfusion Blood Flow (PBF) maps were extracted by analyzing Time-Intensity Curves and signal intensity on the perfused vessel mask. Mean values calculated from user-specified ROIs on perfusion maps were employed to evaluate the patient's pre- and post- endovascular treatment condition.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Perfusion

    Consecutive patients scheduled to undergo infrapopliteal angioplasty or stenting, or both, as part of their standard treatment for Rutherford-Becker class 5 and 6 chronic limb-threatening ischemia, were included in the study. All procedures were performed using local anesthesia. An antegrade access was used in all patients followed by the deployment of a 5 or 6 Fr arterial sheaths. A semi-lateral foot projection was preferred and the pre-revascularization DSA of the foot was performed via a 5 Fr angiographic catheter placed at the distal third of the popliteal artery. Following revascularization of one or more tibial arteries, the catheter was placed at the same popliteal segment and post-procedural DSA of the foot was performed following the exact pre-revascularization injection protocol at the same semi-lateral projection. The 2D-perfusion imaging and analysis of the DICOM files was performed after revascularization.

    Diagnostic Test: 2D perfusion digital subtraction angiography of the foot.

Interventions

  • Diagnostic test2D perfusion digital subtraction angiography of the foot.

    2D perfusion digital subtraction angiography of the foot was performed after infrapopliteal angioplasty and Perfusion Blood Volume (PBV), Mean Transit Time (MTT), and Perfusion Blood Flow (PBF) maps were extracted by analyzing Time-Intensity Curves and signal intensity on the perfused vessel mask.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Perfusion Blood Volume (PBV)

    PBV calculated on subtraction images and pre- and post-procedural values were compared using the proposed 2D perfusion DSA software.

    Time frame: Ten minutes before and five minutes after the intervention

  2. Change in Mean Transit Time (MTT)

    MTT calculated on subtraction images and pre- and post-procedural values were compared using the proposed 2D perfusion DSA software.

    Time frame: Ten minutes before and five minutes after the intervention

  3. Change in Perfusion Blood Flow (PBF)

    PBF calculated on subtraction images and pre- and post-procedural values compared using the proposed 2D perfusion DSA software.

    Time frame: Ten minutes before and five minutes after the intervention

Secondary outcomes

  1. Major amputation rate

    The rate of above the knee target limb amputation

    Time frame: Six months

  2. Procedure-related complications

    Complications noted during and after the index procedure

    Time frame: 30 days
