heal.abstract | PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of vibrational angioplasty in chronic infrapopliteal arterial occlusions. METHODS: Twelve patients (9 men, aged 54 to 90 years) with 13 below-knee arterial chronic total occlusions were treated percutaneously using vibrational angioplasty. The occlusions were located in the anterior tibial artery (n=5), the tibioperoneal trunk (n=4), the peroneal artery (n=1), the posterior tibial artery (n=1), and in both the tibioperoneal trunk and peroneal artery (n=2). The length of the lesions ranged from 5 to 14 cm. RESULTS: Recanalization was successful in 12 (92.3%) lesions. In 1 case, the wire perforated the arterial wall; the procedure was abandoned without clinical sequelae. The time to cross the occlusions with the wire ranged from 6 to 19 minutes. No other complications were observed. Clinical follow-up ranged to 18 months. Ten patients with ulceration or gangrene demonstrated good wound healing, and pain was alleviated in all successfully treated patients. CONCLUSIONS: Vibrational angioplasty appears feasible as a means of safely recanalizing chronic total occlusions of the infrapopliteal arteries. Further experience should be acquired to assess its short- and long-term effects on this vascular territory. | en |
