ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The benefits of imaging guidance using a new fully automated fusion process (CYDAR) have been demonstrated during endovascular aortic aneurysm repair, but little is known about its use during aorto-iliac occlusive disease endovascular revascularization. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of CYDAR image fusion guidance during endovascular treatment of symptomatic aorto-iliac occlusive lesions, compared with control patients treated using standard 2D fluoroscopy alone.METHODS:
This is a single-center randomized controlled pilot study that recruited patients undergoing aorto-iliac endovascular revascularization.RESULTS:
Between January 2019 and February 2020, 37 patients with symptomatic aorto-iliac lesions were enrolled 18 were assigned to the fusion group and 19 to the control group. Patients and lesions characteristics were well balanced between both study groups. The technical success of the procedure was 100% in the Fusion group and 94% in the control group. All radiation-related parameters were lower in the fusion compared to the control group, including median DAP 18.5 Gy.cm2 vs. 21.8 Gy.cm2; Air Kerma 0.10 Gy vs. 0.12 Gy; fluoroscopy dose 4.2 Gy.cm2 vs. 5.1 Gy.cm2; and number of DSA 7.5 vs. 8. The volume of iodinated contrast used was higher in the fusion group 41 mL vs. 30 mL. The total procedure time was the same in both groups60 min vs. 60 min.CONCLUSIONS:
The results of this pilot study suggest the use of fusion imaging in endovascular treatment of aorto-iliac disease results in reduction in radiation-related measured parameters with no change in procedure time and higher doses of iodinated contrast used. These results need to be further investigated in a larger, adequately powered study.Palavras-chave
