Abstract

SUMMARY


Purpose: evaluation of short-term results of endovascular
intervention in treatment of below-the-knee chronic arterial occlusion.
Method and materials: Prospective studies, group of 32 patients with critical limb ischemia due to peripheral arterial diseases were admitted Bach Mai hospital from 9/2011 to 8/2012. The follow up mean times is 6.5 months.
Results: 32 patients with 65 arteries were treated by endovascular intervention. Pre-procedure’s ABI is 0.64±0.19. The length of lesion is 171.6 ± 32.5 mm. There is 13.3 % retrograde arterial access at tibial arteries in combination with antergrade access at CFA. Subintimal angioplasty rate is 84.8%. The overall technical success rate is 81.5%. Post-procedure, the along arterial pain is 87.5% with mean duration is 4.5 days, the soft tissue edema rate because of arterial congestion is 30% with mean duration 7.5 days. The fi rst week post-procedure ABI is 0.84±0.22. In the follow up duration, the re-intervention is 9.2%, overall limb salvation is 87.5%.
Conclusion: endovascular intervention of arterial chronic occlusion is minimal invasive, safety and effective in revascularization of BTK regions, it has important role in reducing the amputation rate of lower limbs.
