Impaired pedal arch affects the treatment effect in patients with single tibial artery revascularization demonstrated by intraoperative perfusion.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The treatment strategy for patients with multiple infrapopliteal artery occlusions remains controversial. In this study, we investigated how anatomic factors affect the treatment effect of infrapopliteal artery intervention and identified suitable intervention strategies for patients with multiple infrapopliteal artery occlusions.

Methods

This was a prospective, single-center, observational cohort study. For each patient, the intrainterventional blood volume improvement of the dorsum and plantar surface was measured and classified into the direct perfused region (DR) or indirect perfused region (IR) on the basis of whether the supplying artery was revascularized. Digital subtraction angiography was performed to analyze how pedal arch patency affects blood communic
