Peripheral angioplastyOverview, Hardware Frijo Jose A
Vascular Access • Relatively disease-free, without signi Ca • Over a bony structure, if possible • Angle of entry- 30⁰-45⁰ • If access vessel-small/potentially diseased- micropuncture tech preferred
Vascular Access sites Retrograde Common Femoral Artery Access • Common access site used for peripheral diagnostic angiography and intervention • Prevent injury to the less diseased extremity
Vascular access sites • Contralateral femoral retrograde access : • Internal iliac stenoses are best treated from a contralateral approach • SFA,PFA- lesions located within the CFA/involve SFA/PFA ostium - • Proximity to arterial puncture site, Bifurcation anatomy of CFA • Also allows treatment B/L disease with a single arterial puncture
Vascular Access site Antegrade Common Femoral Artery Access: • Required for infrainguinal proced • Approx 3cm CFA lies betw ligament & FA bifurcation • Inorder to access CFA, skin entry- prox to ing ligm • Access too close to F bifurc –inadeq working room to selectively cath SFA
Vascular access sites • Ipsilateral popliteal retrograde access: • Useful in SFA occlusion with failure to cross from contralateral or antegrade • Ostial SFA/CFA lesions may also be approached via PA in acute angled terminal aobifurc • CI- aneurysms of PA, pathology of poplitealfossa- Baker’s cyst
Brachial Artery Access • Pref access for visc arterial [CA, SMA] interventions • PC approach at BA can lead to a ↑compli rate • UL arts – smaller, prone to spasm • A small hematoma- Could lead to brachial plexopathy • Itvreq >6F sheaths/smaller pt→open approach preferred • Left BA access pref over Rt- can avoid carotid origin • A micropuncture tech should be used for all PC BA intervention
Wire selection • Many-Teflon/silicone :Some- hydrophilic • Hydr-stenosd/torturous+angle tip–Glidewire • Can be used for crossing tight lesions and can be advanced independent of a guidewire • 014,018,025,035,038-for initial access, 038:18g needle, 018:21g needle
Guidewire-Lesion Interaction • Floppy portion moving in a linear • Floppy portion piles up prox to lesion—no chance to cross- backup,redirect,if straight tip→steerable • Floppy tip bent with min R—Cautiously adv wire- once crossed, wire should straighten- advancing a “buckledup” wire- force→embolization • Floppy tip “buckledup” with R—backup,redirect,adv -dissect,embolz,wiredamag
Catheter ( diagnostic/ guiding) Length depends on location for using a) abdominal aorta = 60 to 80 cm length b) BTK,carotid or subclavian areas 100 to 125cm length Polyethylene- ↓coef friction, pliable Polyurethane- softer, even ↑pliable→ tracks wires better Nylon- stiffer, can tolerate ↑flow rate- amenable to angio Teflon- stiffest- used mainly for dilators & sheaths

SOS Omni selective catheter • Soft, atraumatic, Super-radiopaque tip • Reforming in descthoracic aorta – below great vessels rather than transverse arch –safety • The catheter should be pulled from the descaointo abdaowith a floppy guidewire“leading,” sometimes with a rotating motion • The soft, flexible atraumatic tip can be placed deeper into the artery (>1 cm), ↓chance of “catheter kickout.” • The shaped tip allows the guidewire to flick into the origin of the RA
Omni Flush Angiographic Catheter • Designed as a single catheter to perform flush aortography, B/L“runoff” studies of lower extremities and to cross aobifurcation with ease for C/L diagnostics in interventional procedures. • Super-Radiopaque tip • Reforms and maintains shape—even under injection pressure—with less catheter whipping, resulting in less vessel wall injury • Less contrast reflux than other flush catheters, thus resulting in lower total contrast dose

Guiding Catheter vs Sheath • The use of a guide or sheath is determined by operator bias • Sheaths are designed with a simple diaphragm or a hemostatic valve, guiding catheters always require hemostatic valves be attached • During intervention, the guide catheter or sheath should be placed near the lesion to provide for better visualization and improved support
Balloons • In selecting a balloon, the following criteria should be considered: a) Guidewire ( 0.014“, 0.018“, 0.035“) b) over the wire (OTW) or monorail system c) shaft length • 0.014“ balloon system is usually for carotid, vertebral, renal, infrapopliteal arteries • 0.035“ balloon system for subclavian, innominate, aortoiliac, superficial femoral artery • 0.018“ balloon system also in SFA, infrapopliteal, depends on what the operator prefers
Law of Laplace • Circumfer force/tension (T) exerted on wall of an inflatdballn ~P within balln & R (T=P×R) • Balln twice R of a smaller balln- twice wall T for given inflation P→D kept constant, T on wall of ballnwill ↑linearly with ↑inflatn P • Larger ballns -require ↓P than smaller ballnsto generate substantial dilating forces • Larger vessels (Ao) require ↓P to dilate & rupture
Balloon cath with a D matchngoutflow vessel beyond lesion • Balloon length should be > lesion • Balloon centered on lesion & inflated slowly • Inflation maintained for 20s- deflated- reinflated 3 inflations of 20s
Subintimal angioplasty • Hydrophilic wire not passng • Carefully adv into subintimal plane- if not spontaneously, gentle inflation of balloon at edge of the plaque • Wire traversed the lesion subintimaliy • Hydrophilic catheter or other re-entry device passed OTW to guide it back into lumen • Standard angioplasty of subintimal plane performed, with stent placement
Femoropopliteal Artery Intervention Subintimal angioplasty
Stents • The types of stent used in peripheral interventions: • Balloon-expandable • Self-expandable • Stent graft
Balloon-expandable stents • Require positive pressure for expansion • Typically rigid with high radial force • Size of the balloon-expandable stent equals to the size of the reference vessel diameter • Ideal for immobile parts of the body-ie, subclavian, renal, mesenteric, iliac arteries and at ostial locations
Self-expandable Stents • Deployed in vessels that are flexible or twist during movement of neck, shoulder or leg • carotid, axillary, superficial femoral artery, popliteal artery • Nitinol - best flexibility and memory • Stent compressed over a delivery cath & covered with sheath • Stent deployment achieved by pulling back the sheath • Stent diameter should be 1-2mm > ref vessel D→ adeq stent apposition
Self-expandable Stents • Some degree of foreshortening- to be taken into account when choosing • More difficult to place with absolute precision • Generally comes in longer length than BES • Their ability to continually expand after delivery allows them to accommodate adjacent vessels of different size
Stents Demonstrating the Nitinol self-expandable stent deployment
Stent Grafts • Used to exclude aneurysm, treat perforations when prolonged balloon inflation failed • Wallgraft and Viabahn are two options
Decision between SE or BE stents in Iliac Lesions • Balloon expandable • Aortoiliac bifurcation • Common iliac • Calcified lesions • Chronic occlusions (?) • Self expanding • Vessels flexible/twist during movement • Tortuous vessels • Distal external iliac artery • Contralateral approach • Long diffuse lesions • Aortoiliac bifurcation (long lesions)
Techniques Retrograde Iliac stent placement
Techniques Cross-over technique
A patient’s complaint of low back pain during balloon inflation may be a warning sign of adventitial stretch, which may occur before aortic rupture
Femoropopliteal Artery Intervention • Balloon size & length matched to the size ( ~5-6mm) & lesion length( ~40- 300mm) of SFA • ↑ angiographic results may be accomplished with prolonged inflation times ( 3-5 minutes) • Dissections are commonly seen after balloon dilation ( due to heavy calcification)
Femoropopliteal Artery Intervention Stentimplantion ( always SX-Stents): • Sizing the SX- stent ~ 1mm > SFA • Postdilation with 5.0-6.0 mm diameter balloon • Popliteal artery -> avoid stent = high risk of stent compression or fracture
Infrapopliteal Interv • Knee-to-foot patency of one of the three branches is usually sufficient to prevent critical lower-limb ischemia • Claudication is rarely the result of isolated disease of the infrapoplitealarteries • Re-stenosis after intervention in these vessels is typically the highest among the lower limb sites • Obstructive disease in these arteries is often occlusive, diffuse and complicated by heavy calcific deposits
Infrapopliteal Interv- wire selection • Only atraumatic 0.014“ / 0.018“ guide wires should be used-0.014“ prefered due to vessel diameter • Type selection ( floppy, medium,stiff) will be driven by the type of disease
Infrapopliteal -Balloon Angioplasty • Low profile balloon with high pushability and trackability to easy cross the lesion • Flexibility in small collateral branches • 0.014”/ 0.018" wire compatibility • Diameter 1.5mm-4.0mm • Long (20-210 mm) to reduce procedure times and dissection
Infrapopliteal- Balloon Angioplasty Long balloons (210mm/ tapered) • Reducedriskofdissections • ( noballoonoverlap) • Total intervention /revascularization • time significantly shorter • Reduced X-ray dose for patients, operators • as well as for the assistants
Renal artery stenosis • Usually occurs in the proximal 2 cm • ~75% of lesions are caused by atherosclerosis • Lesions can be single or multiple, unilateral or bilateral (~25%) • Diameter: 6.0-6.5mm for men • 5.5-6.0mm for women • Length 3-7 cm
Renal artery-Equipment Diagnostic • Wires • 0.035” for catheter placement • Diagnostic catheter Intervention • Wires • 0.014” • 0.035” for catheter placement • Guiding Sheath • Guide Catheter • Balloons ( 0.014” compatible) • Low profile • Undersized for pre-dilation • BE-Stents
