A case report of successful intravascular shockwave lithotripsy and ad hoc directional venous atherectomy of extensive chronic femoral deep venous thrombosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Conventional treatment for chronic deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is anticoagulation. However, limited interventional endovascular options exist for patients with non-healing venous ulcers secondary to chronic DVT.

Case summary

We present a case of 67-year-old man with severely symptomatic post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) with persistent high-grade femoral DVT despite prior compressive therapy and chronic oral anticoagulation. It has been successfully treated with intravascular shockwave lithotripsy and ad hoc directional venous atherectomy facilitating subsequent mechanical thrombectomy and venoplasty. The procedure was without complication and resulted in significant clinical improvement.

Discussion

We believe our novel endovascular interventional approach represents a unique modality of intervention for patients with chronic DVT and PTS resistant to conventional venoplasty.

Outcomes of directional atherectomy for common femoral artery disease.

Project description:BackgroundEndovascular therapy is the first-line strategy for femoropopliteal obstructive disease. However, for lesions involving the common femoral artery (CFA) surgical endarterectomy is still the gold standard.AimsThe aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of directional atherectomy (DA) for the treatment of CFA lesions.MethodsA retrospective analysis of patients who underwent DA of the CFA between March 2009 and June 2017 was performed. The primary efficacy endpoint was the incidence of clinically driven target lesion revascularisation (cdTLR). Secondary endpoints included the overall procedural complication rate at 30 days, change in ankle-brachial index (ABI), and Rutherford-Becker class (RBC) during follow-up.ResultsThis analysis included 250 patients. The mean follow-up period was 31.03±21.56 months (range 1-88, median follow-up period 25 months). The procedural complication rate including access-site complications, target lesion perforation, and outflow embolisation was 10.4% (n=26). All but one complication could be treated conservatively or endovascularly. One surgical revision was necessary. Freedom from major adverse events (death, cdTLR, myocardial infarction and major target limb amputation) at 30 days was 99.6%. The rate of cdTLR during follow-up was 13.6% (n=34). A significant improvement of the mean ABI and the RBC was observed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed residual target lesion stenosis >30% (p=0.005), and heavy calcification of the target lesion (p=0.033) to be independent predictors for cdTLR.ConclusionsThe use of DA for the treatment of CFA lesions leads to promising midterm results with an acceptable complication rate.

Changing paradigm for treatment of heavily calcified coronary artery disease. A complementary role of rotational atherectomy and intravascular lithotripsy with shockwave balloon: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundManagement of heavily calcified coronary arteries is still a major challenge in interventional cardiology. Inadequate stent expansion in calcific lesions is the single most important predictor of stent thrombosis and in-stent restenosis. Rotational atherectomy (RA) is an important tool to modify the calcium burden but is associated with limitations and requires specific skills. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a novel technique to treat calcified stenotic lesions and has been proposed as an alternative to RA with promising results.Case summaryWe report a case of a patient with severely calcified right coronary artery stenosis successfully treated with combination of RA and IVL.DiscussionIn this case, we demonstrate that the RA and IVL are complementary strategies, not sufficient on their own and not alternative to each other.

Intravascular Lithotripsy as a Novel Treatment Method for Calcified Unprotected Left Main Diseases-Comparison to Rotational Atherectomy-Short-Term Outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundThe unprotected calcified Left Main disease represents a high-risk subset for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and it is associated with a higher number of periprocedural complications and an increased rate of in-stent thrombosis and restenosis. Adequate lesion preparation plays a crucial role in achieving a favorable PCI outcome. Rotational Atherectomy (RA) is a well-established plaque-modifying method; nevertheless, the data regarding the effectiveness of RA in LM diseases is scarce. Recently, the novel ShockWave-Intravascular-Lithotripsy(S-IVL) device has been introduced to the PCI armamentarium in order to modify the calcified plaque.MethodsWe performed a retrospective evaluation of 44 consecutive subjects who underwent the LM-PCI, and who were supported by either the RA or S-IVL.ResultsThe Rota group consisted of 29 patients with a mean syntax score of 28.0 ± 7.5. The S-IVL group was composed of 15 subjects with a syntax score of 23.3 ± 13.0 There were no statistical differences regarding MACE between the RA and Shockwave arms of the in-hospital group (10.3% vs. 6.7%), or in the six month (17.2% vs. 13.3%) follow-up group.ConclusionsRA and S-IVL could be safe and effective therapeutic strategies for calcified LM disease. Further studies with a higher number of participants and longer follow-up times are warranted to establish the potential benefits of RA and S-IVL for the management of LM stenosis.

The Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy System.

Project description:Calcified lesions often mean percutaneous intervention results are suboptimal and increase the risk of procedural complications and future adverse events. Available plaque-modifying devices rely on tissue compression or debulking, with the intention of fracturing calcium and facilitating optimal stent deployment. In contrast, coronary intravascular lithotripsy delivers unfocused, circumferential, pulsatile mechanical energy to safely disrupt the calcium within the target lesion. The present review summarises the evidence available so far on this therapy and includes a practical description of the components and function of the Shockwave Intravascular Lithotripsy System (Shockwave Medical).

Best Practice in Intravascular Lithotripsy.

Project description:Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a novel approach to lesion preparation of severely calcified plaques in coronary and peripheral vessels. Lithotripsy is delivered by vaporising fluid to create an expanding bubble that generates sonic pressure waves that interact with arterial calcification. Available data indicate that IVL leads to increased vessel compliance before stent implantation with high efficacy and an excellent safety profile. Since it gained the CE mark in 2017, and with improved operator experience, the use of IVL has expanded into more complex clinical situations. This review focuses on the best practice for IVL use in the cath lab, based on 3 years of experience with the technology and the latest scientific data from the Disrupt CAD clinical trials.

Simultaneous Photoacoustic Imaging and Cavitation Mapping in Shockwave Lithotripsy.

Project description:Kidney stone disease is a major health problem worldwide. Shockwave lithotripsy (SWL), which uses high-energy shockwave pulses to break up kidney stones, is extensively used in clinic. However, despite its noninvasiveness, SWL can produce cavitation in vivo. The rapid expansion and violent collapse of cavitation bubbles in small blood vessels may result in renal vascular injury. To better understand the mechanism of tissue injury and improve treatment safety and efficiency, it is highly desirable to concurrently detect cavitation and vascular injury during SWL. Current imaging modalities used in SWL ( e.g. , C-arm fluoroscopy and B-mode ultrasound) are not sensitive to vascular injuries. By contrast, photoacoustic imaging is a non-invasive and non-radiative imaging modality that is sensitive to blood, by using hemoglobin as the endogenous contrast. Moreover, photoacoustic imaging is also compatible with passive cavitation detection by sharing the ultrasound detection system. Here, we have integrated shockwave treatment, photoacoustic imaging, and passive cavitation detection into a single system. Our experimental results on phantoms and in vivo small animals have collectively demonstrated that the integrated system is capable of capturing shockwave-induced cavitation and the resultant vascular injury simultaneously. We expect that the integrated system, when combined with our recently developed internal-light-illumination photoacoustic imaging, will find important applications for monitoring shockwave-induced vascular injury in deep tissues during SWL.
