Clinical and haemodynamic evolution of lesions treated by means of a therectomy with Silver Hawk in the femoropopliteal sector Ibáñez Maraña, María Antonia Cenizo Revuelta, Noelia María Río Sola, María Lourdes del Sánchez García, Ana María de los Ángeles San Norberto García, Enrique María Brizuela Sanz, José Antonio Gutíerrez Alonso, Vicente Vaquero Puerta, Carlos Extremidades Cirugía Producción Científica The objective of the work is to study the clinical and haemodynamic evolution, over 1 year, in patients with femoropopliteal arterial pathology treated by means of atherectomy with the SilverHawk device. Materials and methods: Nineteen (19) patients were treated between December 2008 and May 2009, collecting data on sex, age, comorbidity and clinical degree, with prospective monitoring over 12 months of clinical symptoms, physical examination and ecodoppler, obtaining results on diameter and peak systolic velocity at different arterial levels. Results: Of the 19 patients, 14 were men and 5 women, with a mean age of 70 years, hypertensive (73%), diabetic (63%) and smokers (63%). Six (6) presented disabling claudication and 13 critical ischemia with advanced distal trophic lesions in 5. A good arteriographic result was obtained in 12 cases, a stent was placed on the superficial femoral artery in 5 due to suboptimal outcome. Contrast extravasation was observed in 2, with femoropopliteal bypass performed and one exclusion with endoprosthesis for repair. In the ecodoppler after 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, a progressive reduction in lumen diameter and peak intraarterial systolic velocity was observed, particularly on the distal superficial femoral artery. After one year, 7 patients (36.8%) were symptom-free, 5 (26.3%) presented mild or moderate intermittent claudication and 1 patient (5.3%) presented localised distal trophic lesion. Four (4) major amputations were performed, in 2 the knee was preserved, there were 3 thromboses due to the procedure, a secondary endovascular procedure was performed in one case and a femoropopliteal bypass in another, and there were 2 non procedure-related deaths. Discussion: atherectomy with SilverHawk achieves an improvement in clinical degree, with a good rate of extremity salvage in patients with critical ischemia. In the first year, the ecodoppler shows evolution of the arteriopathy, without this necessarily meaning a clinical worsening. 2013-05-23T14:23:34Z 2013-05-23T14:23:34Z 2011 info:eu-repo/semantics/article European Journal of Radiology, 80 (2011) p. 543-547 0720-048X http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/2832 543 80 547 European Journal of Radiology eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported Universidad de Valladolid.
