Percutaneous Femoral Arteriovenous Shunt Creation for Advanced Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Abstract: Background— Advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease causes a significant reduction in functional capacity because of dyspnea and fatigue, partially related to hypoxemia and compromised oxygen delivery. Percutaneous creation of an arteriovenous shunt may increase oxygen delivery and, hence, improve patients' functional capacity. Methods and Results— This is a prospective, single-center, proof-of-concept pilot study. Patients with ad… Show more

“…Studies using the ROX Coupler in patients with COPD have shown no increase in arterial oxygen saturation 8,9 ; however, in the pilot study of Bertog et al, 9 there was an increase in arterial oxygen content (CaO 2 ) which, in combination with increased CO and blood flow, gave an increase in tissue oxygen delivery or DO 2 . One concern with a decrease in BP and preferential blood flow via a low resistance AV shunt is engagement of central and peripheral neurohormonal mechanisms that increase BP.…”

“…Increases in right atrial pressure, stroke volume, CO, and cardiac work have been documented in patients implanted with the ROX device. 8,9 The vascular system obeys an adaptation of Ohms law, known as Darcy law, where the flow through a tissue bed (Q) is proportional to the ratio between the pressure differential (ΔP) across the vascular bed and the resistance to flow (R), this can be expressed as Q=ΔP/R. In the normotensive setting, a reduction in SVR is compensated by an increase in CO, and BP is preserved.…”
