BACKGROUND: Endovascular therapy has become established as a first-line therapy in most arterial regions. However, open vascular surgery (endarterectomy) remains the treatment of choice for common femoral artery (CFA) lesions. The aim of this study is to investigate the acute and mid-term results of directional atherectomy plus drug-coated balloon (DCB) in comparison to endarterectomy in treatment of de novo arteriosclerotic CFA lesions. METHODS: This prospective, randomized, multicenter non-inferiority study will enroll 306 participants with symptomatic (Rutherford category 1 to 5) de novo stenosis of the CFA including the bifurcation. Patients eligible for both treatment groups could be included in this 1:1 randomized trial. Primary efficacy endpoint is patency of the target lesion at 12 months defined as restenosis < 50% without the need of clinically driven target lesion revascularization (cdTLR). Primary safety endpoint is a combined endpoint including death, myocardial infarction, major or minor amputation of the target limb, and peri-procedural complications at 30 days. Secondary endpoints include primary patency of the target lesion at 6 and 24 months, secondary patency, cdTLR 6, 12, and 24 months, change in ankle-brachial index, and Rutherford-Becker class at 6, 12, and 24 months. Limb salvage, change in quality of life measured by Walking Impairment Questionnaire, and major adverse events including death, myocardial infarction, and minor or major amputation of the target limb will be determined at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months. DISCUSSION: Endovascular treatment of CFA lesions is still a matter of debate. Few studies compared modern endovascular therapy methods against the so-called gold standard surgical endarterectomy so far. Based on recent positive results, this study aims to confirm non-inferiority of a "leaving nothing behind" endovascular approach combining directional atherectomy and DCB compared to surgical therapy. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02517827.

Use of peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) for intermittent claudication (IC) continues to expand, but there is uncertainty whether baseline demographics, procedural techniques and outcomes differ by sex, race, and ethnicity. This study aimed to examine amputation and revascularization rates up to 4 years after femoropopliteal (FP) PVI for IC by sex, race, and ethnicity. Patients who underwent FP PVI for IC between 2016 and 2020 from the PINC AI Healthcare Database were analyzed. The primary outcome was any index limb amputation, assessed by Kaplan-Meier estimate. Secondary outcomes included index limb major amputation, repeat revascularization, and index limb repeat revascularization. Unadjusted and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated using Cox proportional hazard regression models. This study included 19,324 patients with IC who underwent FP PVI, with 41.2% women, 15.6% Black patients, and 4.7% Hispanic patients. Women were less likely than men to be treated with atherectomy (45.1% vs 47.8%, p = 0.0003); Black patients were more likely than White patients to receive atherectomy (50.7% vs 44.9%, p <0.001), and Hispanic patients were less likely than non-Hispanic patients to receive atherectomy (41% vs 47%, p = 0.0004). Unadjusted rates of any amputation were similar in men and women (6.4% for each group, log-rank p = 0.842), higher in Black patients than in White patients (7.8% vs 6.1%, log-rank p = 0.007), and higher in Hispanic patients than in non-Hispanic patients (8.8% vs 6.3%, log-rank p = 0.031). After adjustment for baseline characteristics, Black race was associated with higher rates of repeat revascularization (adjusted HR 1.13, 95% confidence interval 1.04 to 1.22) and any FP revascularization (adjusted HR 1.10, 95% confidence interval 1.01 to 1.20). No statistical difference in amputation rate was observed among comparison groups. Women and men with IC had similar crude and adjusted amputation and revascularization outcomes after FP PVI. Black patients had higher repeat revascularization and any FP revascularization rates than did White patients. Black and Hispanic patients had higher crude amputation rates, but these differences were attenuated by adjustment for baseline characteristics. Black patients were more likely to receive atherectomy and had higher rates of any repeat revascularization and specifically FP revascularization. Further study is necessary to determine whether these patterns are related to disease-specific issues or practice-pattern differences among different populations.

Radial artery (RA) access has been increasingly utilized for coronary procedures because of lower rates of access-site complications and improved patient satisfaction. However, limited data are available for RA access for peripheral vascular intervention (PVI). We performed a retrospective review of 143 patients who underwent PVI through RA access from February 2020 to September 2022 at a single institution. Baseline characteristics and follow-up data were ascertained from a prospectively maintained institutional database. Of 491 PVI, 156 (31.8%) were performed through the RA. Anatomical locations for intervention were the femoral (44.8%), iliac (31.1%), popliteal (9.6%) peroneal (2.7%), tibial (9.9%), and subclavian (1.9%) arteries. Procedural access was obtained through the right RA (92.9%), left RA (4.5%), or right ulnar artery (2.6%) using the 6 French R2P Destination Slender sheath in 85, 105, and 119 cm lengths. Atherectomy was used in 34.7%. Mean contrast volume was 105.5 ml and the average fluoroscopy time was 18.5 minutes. Conversion to femoral access occurred in 3 cases (1.9%) because of arterial spasm and noncrossable lesions. Concomitant pedal access occurred in 2 cases (1.3%). Periprocedural complication rate was 3.84%, of which access-site hematoma was most common (3.2%); none required blood transfusion, surgical intervention, or additional hospital stay. There was 1 case (0.64%) of in-hospital stroke. The mortality rate at 30-day, 6-month, and 1-year was 1.4%, 2.8%, and 4.2%, respectively. In conclusion, RA access is feasible for diverse PVI, and future studies are needed to assess safety and benefit compared with femoral artery access.

In this study, we utilized a novel 355 nm laser to ablate porcine aortas in the presence of physiological saline and contrast agent. Subsequently, we investigated the shape and depth of the resulting injuries. After ablating bovine tendons and aortas with the laser, we analyzed the size and quantity of particles postablation. Finally, we conducted ablation experiments using human ex vivo plaques. The analysis revealed minimal damage to porcine aortas within 2 s of exposure to the 355 nm laser. The degree of injury in the presence of contrast agent was higher than that in the presence of physiological saline but significantly lower than the damage caused by 308 nm laser. Regardless of whether it was bovine tendon or porcine aorta tissue, the proportion of particles <25 µm postlaser ablation exceeded 99%. Lastly, the 355 nm laser successfully opened three types of plaques: chronically occluded, stent restenosis, and stale thrombosis.

OBJECTIVE: Most surgeons employ an endovascular-first approach to the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), but controversy remains regarding the ideal interventions for the management of isolated popliteal artery disease (IPAD). Indeed, there are a paucity of data that compare outcomes of popliteal stents vs other peripheral vascular interventions (PVIs). The goal of this study was to evaluate outcomes of PVIs in IPAD. METHODS: The Vascular Study Group of New England database was queried for all IPAD PVIs performed for atherosclerotic occlusive disease from 2010 to 2021. Those with at least 1 year of follow-up data available were included for analysis. The primary endpoint was 1-year freedom from a composite target lesion (TL) treatment failure that included restenosis >50% on duplex, reintervention, or ipsilateral major amputation. RESULTS: We included 689 procedures performed on 634 patients. Of these, 250 (36.3%) were treated with plain balloons (POBA), 215 (31.2%) had stents, 170 (24.7%) had special balloons (drug-coated, cutting, or lithotripsy), and 54 (7.8%) atherectomies were performed. Stent placement was associated with lower freedom from TL treatment failure (72.6%) than special balloon (81.2%; P = .048) and atherectomy (88.9%; P = .012), but not POBA (76.8%; P = .293). On multivariable logistic regression, stents (odds ratio, 0.637; P = .021) and preoperative P2Y12 inhibitor therapy (odds ratio, 0.683; P = .048) were both associated with lower freedom from intervention failure. CONCLUSIONS: Popliteal stent placement is associated with a higher rate of TL treatment failure at 1 year when compared with other PVIs including special balloon angioplasty and atherectomy, but not POBA, and should therefore be avoided in favor of special balloons or atherectomy whenever feasible.

BACKGROUND: Atherectomy is an important option for debulking atherosclerotic plaque from diseased arteries in patients with infrainguinal arterial disease. Laser atherectomy uses a high-powered laser to remove the plaque from the arteries to restore blood flow. AIMS: The Pathfinder multicenter registry was initiated to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the 355 nm laser atherectomy system in a real-world setting for the treatment of de novo, re-stenotic and in-stent restenosis (ISR) lesions in infrainguinal arteries of patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). METHODS: The study was a prospective, single-arm, multicenter, open-label registry study for patients treated with the 355 nm laser system. Clinical and lesion characteristics, procedural safety and efficacy data, and baseline, 6-, and 12-month outcomes data, including Ankle Brachial Index (ABI), Rutherford class, and Walking Impairment Questionnaires (WIQ), were collected. The primary efficacy endpoint was the achievement of ≤30% final residual stenosis at the index lesion postatherectomy and adjunctive therapy evaluated by an angiographic Core Lab. The primary safety endpoint was the percentage of subjects who did not experience periprocedural major adverse events (PPMAEs) before discharge. RESULTS: One hundred and two subjects with 121 lesions treated with the 355 nm laser device at 10 centers were included in the analysis. Mean age was 68.4 ± 10.21 years, 61.8% of subjects were male, 44.6% had critical limb ischemia (CLI), and 47.3% had tibial lesions. The mean residual stenosis at the end of the procedure was 24.4 ± 15.5 with 69 lesions (69.0%) achieving technical procedural success (<30% stenosis); similar rates were observed for subjects with ISR (25.5 ± 14.9), chronic total occlusion (CTO) (28.1 ± 17.0), and severe calcification (36.5 ± 21.6) lesions. Mean ABI, Rutherford, and WIQ scores were improved at both 6 and 12 months. Ninety-seven of 102 subjects (95.1%) met the primary safety endpoint of not experiencing a PPMAE before discharge. CONCLUSIONS: The initial data from the Pathfinder Registry demonstrates the 355 nm laser system is safe and effective in a real-world setting for performing atherectomy in patients with infrainguinal PAD.

Background: This study aimed to assess the peri- and postprocedural outcomes of atherectomy-assisted endovascular treatment of the common femoral (CFA) and popliteal arteries. Methods: Phoenix atherectomy was used for the treatment of 73 and 53 de novo CFA and popliteal artery lesions, respectively, in 122 consecutive patients. Safety endpoints encompassed perforation and peripheral embolization. Postprocedural endpoints included freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) and clinical success (an improvement of ⩾ 2 Rutherford category [RC]). In addition, 531 patients treated for popliteal artery stenosis or occlusion without atherectomy were used as a comparator group. Results: Procedural success (residual stenosis < 30% after treatment) was 99.2%. The need for bail-out stenting was 2 (2.7%) and 3 (5.7%) in CFA and popliteal artery lesions, respectively. Only one (1.4%) embolization occurred in the CFA, which was treated by catheter aspiration. No perforations occurred. After 1.50 (IQR = 1.17-2.20) years, CD-TLR occurred in seven (9.2%) and six (14.6%) patients with CFA and popliteal artery lesions, respectively, whereas clinical success was achieved in 62 (91.2%) and 31 (75.6%), respectively. Patients treated with atherectomy and DCB in the popliteal artery after matching for baseline RC, lesion calcification, length, and the presence of chronic total occlusion, exhibited higher freedom from CD-TLR compared to the nondebulking group (HR = 3.1; 95% CI = 1.1-8.5, p = 0.03). Conclusion: Atherectomy can be used safely and is associated with low rates of bail-out stenting in CFA and popliteal arteries. CD-TLR and clinical success rates are clinically acceptable. In addition, for the popliteal artery, atherectomy combined with DCB demonstrates lower CD-TLR rates compared to a DCB alone strategy. (German Clinical Trials Register: DRKS00016708).

BACKGROUND: Balloon non-crossable stenoses represent a challenging subset of coronary artery disease (CAD). They are clinically associated with patients who are older, frailer, and with multi-morbidities, and angiographically with increased tortuosity and coronary artery calcification. Combined rotational (RA) excimer laser coronary atherectomy (ELCA), or RASER, may facilitate stent delivery and deployment in non-crossable, non-dilatable severely calcified lesions. In this study, we assessed preliminary safety and efficacy of the RASER hybrid technique. METHODS: RASER feasible percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures performed at a large tertiary hospital in the northeast of England were retrospectively analyzed from September 1, 2008, to February 28, 2022. Major endpoints were in-hospital death from any cause, as well as procedural and angiographic success, defined by stent delivery with less than 50% residual stenosis and without clinical or angiographic complications, respectively. RESULTS: From 74 unique cases, there were 28 RASER, 24 ELCA/RA, 16 balloon angioplasty ± stenting, and 6 medically treated patients. In-hospital mortality rate was 5.2%, including 1 ELCA- and 3 RASER-treated patients. Successful stent delivery was achieved in significantly more RASER-treated patients compared to ELCA/RA- or balloon-treated patients: 96.4% (27/28), 25% (6/24), and 31.3% (5/16) respectively (P less than .001). CONCLUSIONS: In our retrospective, single-center study, patients with CAD who were deemed appropriate for RASER PCI had a high peri-procedural mortality rate. In this context, adjunctive RASER therapy provides acceptable safety and efficacy as a bailout strategy, with at least 3 out of 5 patients achieving satisfactory procedural and angiographic results. Randomized controlled trials are needed to comprehensively compare the clinical outcomes of high-risk RASER PCI vs conservative medical therapy.

This study evaluated the outcomes of a bare metal stent (BMS), DCB alone, atherectomy plus a drug-coated balloon (AT + DCB) and AT alone for the treatment of femoropopliteal artery occlusion. Four groups were included in this retrospective cohort study: 119 patients underwent the BMS procedure, 89 patients underwent DCB alone, 52 patients underwent AT + DCB, and 61 patients underwent AT alone. Patients were followed-up at 1, 6, 12 and 24 months after the procedure, the clinical outcomes and complications were assessed, and the primary outcomes were primary patency and restenosis. AT + DCB showed a lower bailout stent, and BMS displayed a higher retrograde puncture, flow-limiting dissection and postdilation (p < 0.05). For all procedures, the walking distance, ABI and pain score post-procedure were significantly improved compared with the pre-procedure values (p < 0.001). The restenosis rate was higher in BMS (21.0%) and AT alone (24.6%) than in DCB (10.1%) alone and AT + DCB (11.5%) (p = 0.04); there was no difference in amputation or clinically driven target lesion revascularization among procedures. The primary patency rates were 77.7%, 89.4%, 88.0% and 73.7% in the BMS, DCB alone, AT + DCB and AT alone groups at 24 months, respectively (p = 0.03), while the secondary patency and main adverse events (stroke, MI and death) were similar. Proximal concavity, proximal target vessel diameter ≥ 5 mm, runoff number ≥ 2 and DCB use were protective factors for primary patency. Our results suggested that AT + DCB and DCB alone were associated with higher primary patency, and DCB devices (combined with/without AT) should be the preferred choice for FP lesions.

BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of excimer laser atherectomy (ELA) combined with drug-coated balloon (DCB) for de novo femoropopliteal artery disease (FPAD) is currently unknown. This case series evaluated the clinical outcomes of ELA combined with DCB in de novo FPAD from a real-world clinical perspective. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of patients treated with ELA + DCB for de novo FPAD between November 2016 and January 2020. The primary efficacy endpoint was the initial patency rate; secondary endpoints included target lesion revascularization without clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) and technical success. Primary safety endpoints included all-cause death, unplanned major amputation, and postoperative complications. RESULTS: The mean follow-up was 37.8 ± 25.3 months and included 56 consecutive patients (68.23 ± 8.01 years, 41 men). Forty-three patients had lifestyle-restricted claudication, and 13 patients had critical limb-threatening ischemia. The mean length of the lesion was 178.41 mm in all patients. The total lesion occlusion rate was 48.2 (n = 27), and the overall technical success rate was 100%. The 12-month, 24-month, 36-month, and 48-month primary patency rates of the ELA + DCB group were 75%, 66.1%, 58.9%, and 42.8%, respectively. Freedom from CD-TLR at 12, 24, 36, and 48 months was 83.9%, 80.3%, 76.8%, and 57.1%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: In real-world clinical practice, ELA + DCB appears to be a safe and effective endovascular treatment for de novo FPAD, with a low rate of freedom from CD-TLR and a good patency rate.

BACKGROUND: The percutaneous treatment of calcified coronary lesions remains challenging and is associated with worse clinical outcomes. In addition, coronary artery calcification is associated with more frequent peri-procedural myocardial infarction. STUDY DESIGN AND OBJECTIVES: The ShOckwave ballooN or Atherectomy with Rotablation in calcified coronary artery lesions (SONAR) study is an investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized, international, multicenter, open label trial (NCT05208749) comparing a lesion preparation strategy with either shockwave intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) or rotational atherectomy (RA) before drug-eluting stent implantation in 170 patients with moderate to severe calcified coronary lesions. The primary endpoint is difference in the rate of peri-procedural myocardial infarction. Key secondary endpoints include rate of peri-procedural microvascular dysfunction, peri-procedural myocardial injury, descriptive study of IMR measurements in calcified lesions, technical and procedural success, interaction between OCT calcium score and primary endpoint, 30-day and 1-year major adverse clinical events. CONCLUSIONS: The SONAR trial is the first randomized controlled trial comparing the incidence of peri-procedural myocardial infarction between 2 contemporary calcium modification strategies (Shockwave IVL and RA) in patients with calcified coronary artery lesions. Furthermore, for the first time, the incidence of peri-procedural microvascular dysfunction after Shockwave IVL and RA will be evaluated and compared.

Histopathological examination has revealed that stents on severely calcified plaques were associated with delayed vascular healing. Although atherectomy devices can increase the number of malapposed struts, tissue responses to implanted drug eluting stents in atherectomy patients remain largely unknown. This retrospective observational study included 30 patients who underwent atherectomy and everolimus-eluting stent (EES) deployment for severely calcified coronary lesions (biodegradable polymer EES (BP-EES), n = 15; durable polymer EES (DP-EES), n = 15). Optical coherence tomography was carried out at baseline and follow-up, and struts with acute stent malapposition (ASM) were categorized as struts on modified calcium (mod-Ca), non-modified calcium (non-mod-Ca), or non-calcium (non-Ca). Adequate vascular healing, defined as ASM resolution with neointimal coverage, was compared between the BP-EES and DP-EES groups. Multivariate linear regression analysis using a generalized estimated equation revealed that BP-EES use was associated with significantly better adequate vascular healing compared with DP-EES (odds ratio [OR]: 3.691, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.175-11.592, P = 0.025). adequate vascular healing was associated with the underlying plaque morphology (mod-Ca vs non-mod-Ca: OR 2.833, 95% CI 1.491-5.384, P = 0.001; non-Ca vs non-mod-Ca: OR 1.248, 95% CI 0.440-3.543, P = 0.677). This study demonstrates that drug-eluting stent selection and calcium modification are possible factors affecting vascular healing of malapposed struts in severely calcified lesions.

BACKGROUND: Atherectomy use in treatment of femoropopliteal disease has significantly increased despite scant evidence of benefit to long-term clinical outcomes. AIMS: We investigated the clinical benefits of atherectomy over standard treatment for femoropopliteal interventions. METHODS: Using data from the Society of Vascular Surgery's Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) registry, we identified patients who underwent isolated femoropopliteal interventions for occlusive disease. We compared 13,423 patients treated with atherectomy with 47,371 receiving standard treatment; both groups were allowed definitive treatment with a drug-coated balloon or stenting. The primary endpoint was major adverse limb events (MALEs), which is a composite of target vessel re-occlusion, ipsilateral major amputation, and target vessel revascularization. RESULTS: Mean age was 69 ± 11 years, and patients were followed for a median of 30 months. Overall rates of complications were slightly higher in the atherectomy group than the standard treatment group (6.2% vs. 5.9%, p < 0.0001). In multivariable analysis, after adjusting for demographic and clinical covariates, atherectomy use was associated with a 13% reduction in risk of MALEs (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 0.87; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.77-0.98). Rates of major and minor amputations were significantly lower in the atherectomy group (3.2% vs. 4.6% and 3.3% vs. 4.3%, respectively, both p < 0.001), primarily driven by a significantly decreased risk of major amputations (aOR 0.69; 95% CI: 0.52-0.91). There were no differences in 30-day mortality, primary patency, and target vessel revascularization between the atherectomy and standard treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS: In adults undergoing femoropopliteal interventions, the use of atherectomy was associated with a reduction in MALEs compared with standard treatment.

BACKGROUND: The safety and efficacy of coronary orbital atherectomy (OA) for treatment of ostial lesions are not yet fully established. We sought to evaluate (OA) treatment of severely calcified ostial and non-ostial lesions. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of subjects treated with OA for severely calcified ostial and non-ostial lesions, at the Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami Beach, Florida (MSMCMB) from January 2014 to September 2020, was completed. Study baseline characteristics, lesion and vessel characteristics, procedural outcomes, and in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were analyzed and compared. RESULTS: A total of 609 patients that underwent PCI with OA were identified. The majority of patients (81.9 %) had non-ostial lesions, while 16.6 % had ostial lesions (of which 2.8 % classified as aorto-ostial) and 1.5 % had unknown lesion anatomy. The mean age of the overall cohort was 74.0 ± 9.3 years, and 63.5 % were male. All patients received drug-eluting stent (DES) placement, and the overall freedom from MACE was 98.5 %, with no significant difference observed between the ostial and non-ostial groups. The freedom from cardiac death and MI was also similar between the two groups. There were low rates of bleeding complications and severe angiographic complications, and no persistent slow flow/no reflow was reported. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated no significant differences in in-hospital MACE outcomes between patients with ostial versus non-ostial lesions, indicating that OA is a safe and effective treatment option for both lesion types, including those classified as aorto-ostial.
