Balloon angioplasty as a treatment of failing infrainguinal autologous vein bypass grafts

Abstract: Balloon angioplasty of failing infrainguinal vein bypass grafts can be successfully performed with a low rate of complications. Acceptable short-term patency can be achieved. This procedure should be considered as an initial option in failing IVB grafts.

“…1 Despite improved surgical techniques and careful postoperative surveillance, bypass grafts continue to fail, often with severe consequences for the affected patient. 2 Although technical problems, poor patient or procedure selection, hypercoagulable states, and progression of atherosclerosis have all been reported to lead to graft thrombosis, 3 most bypass graft failures are ascribed to intimal hyperplasia, which occurs in the midterm period (2 to 24 months).…”

“…10 Attention has, therefore, turned to the identification of those bypass grafts with defects before thrombosis has occurred. 1 Accumulating data have validated the utility of color duplex ultrasound (CDU) scanning to detect hemodynamically significant abnormalities of infrainguinal arterial bypass grafts, 8,[11][12][13] the rationale being that correction of stenotic lesions is likely to improve graft patency and reduce the risk of amputation. [14][15][16] Considerable uncertainty still exists about the optimal management of these threatened bypass grafts once they are identified.…”

“…According to the literature, the results of interventional approaches to anastomotic stenosis of bypass grafts with angioplasty, atherectomy or stent placement are inferior to those of surgery. More specifically, the reported patency at 1 and 2 years ranges from 44% to 62.7%, respectively, and from 39.4% to 58.2% for angioplasty alone, and in any case does not exceed 65% as primary assisted patency at 5 years [2,[16][17][18][19]]. Long-term success is, however, closely dependent on whether one or more lesions are present and on lesion length.…”

“…In letteratura, l'approccio interventistico delle stenosi anastomotiche dei bypass con angioplastica, aterectomia o posizionamento di stent non raggiunge i risultati della chirurgia; in particolare è riportata una pervietà ad 1 e 2 anni variabile rispettivamente dal 44% al 62,7% e dal 39,4% al 58,2% per quanto riguarda la sola angioplastica, che comunque non supera il 65% a 5 anni come pervietà primaria assistita [2,[16][17][18][19]. Il successo a distanza di tempo è comunque correlato sensibilmente alla presenza di una o più lesioni ed alla loro stessa lunghezza, per tale motivo è stata proposta nel 1991 [20] una classificazione delle stenosi dei bypass distali in stenosi "semplici" (lesioni singole non restenotiche, lunghezza inferiore ad 1,5 cm, diametro del bypass maggiore di 3 mm) e "complesse" (restenosi, lunghezza maggiore di 1,5 cm con diametro del bypass inferiore a 3 mm).…”
