Cases and resources in vascular techniques

This section provides a selection of cases and resources provided by experts in vascular techniques.

In this PVI Course 2024 session replay, experts provide an in-depth discussion on the latest approaches to treating aorto-iliac occlusive disease, explore the EVOCC Trial, recent RCTs in vascular surgery, and the role of paclitaxel-coated devices in femoropopliteal interventions, as well as the evolving understanding of limus-based drug-eluting technologies. The session also covers treatment options for long SFA lesions, vessel preparation for endo CFA, and the potential of resorbable scaffolds for ATK and BTK lesions, with key insights from the SOL Japan Trial.

This publication review evaluates treatment trends for acute limb ischemia (ALI) in Japan, comparing the efficacy and safety of endovascular therapy (EVT) versus open surgical revascularization (OSR) using data from the JROAD-DPC database. The study found that, overall, EVT was less effective than OSR for ALI, except in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD).

This review examines outcomes of endovascular treatment for acute limb ischemia (ALI) using data from a multicenter national registry. It found that patients with pre-existing comorbidities and poor limb viability were more likely to experience adverse outcomes, including mortality and major amputation.

This article presents a meta-analysis on percutaneous deep vein arterialization (pDVA), an advanced technique for treating end-stage chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) in patients without revascularization options, assessing its feasibility and clinical outcomes using time-to-event analysis.

Endovascular revascularisation is the first choice for symptomatic PAD, but traditional transfemoral access can be challenging. Transradial access is emerging as a less invasive alternative. This study examines the criteria for selecting transradial access and its outcomes in aorto-iliac revascularisation for PAD patients.

Fausto Castriota, speaking with Jean Sénémaud, from the #pvi Social Media Team, discusses the latest techniques in carotid artery treatment, focusing on stroke prevention.

As infrapopliteal peripheral vascular interventions (PVIs) for claudication continue to be performed in the USA, this study assessed whether infrapopliteal PVI is linked to worse long-term outcomes than isolated femoropopliteal PVI.

Peripheral artery disease can lead to limb-threatening ischemia, yet many patients face delays in revascularization, increasing the risk of major amputation. This study addresses the urgency of reducing these delays.

Dr. Peter Schneider and Dr. Alexandre Oliny, from the #pvi Social Media Team, discuss the evolving landscape of carotid artery surgery and stenting.
