Outcomes of Orbital Atherectomy in Patients with Critical Limb Threatening Ischemia and Diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Patients with diabetes and critical limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) are at significantly higher risk of limb loss and death. Here we evaluate the outcomes of orbital atherectomy (OA) for treatment of CLTI in patients with and without diabetes.

Methods

Retrospective analysis of the LIBERTY 360 study was performed to evaluate baseline demographics, and peri-procedural outcomes between patients with CLTI, and with and without diabetes. Hazard ratios (HRs) were determined with Cox regression to examine the impact of OA in patients with diabetes and CLTI over a 3-year follow-up.

Results

A total of 289 patients (201 with diabetes, 88 without diabetes) with Rutherford classification 4-6 were included. Patients with diabetes had higher proportion of renal disease (48
