24. Only ½ of the patients have complete healing at 6 months
after bypass or PTA/stent for Rutherford 5/6 lesions.
25. Patency
• makes healing faster and healing rates
higher
• Protects foot against recrudescence and
recurrences
Primary Patency
• better than secondary patency
• reduces TLR and adds life and QoL

68. Rutherford Status and extent of tissue loss
determines which BTK vessels need to be
treated
DEB has early promising in CLI for SFA and
BTK disease, we await more RCTs
Use of DEBs especially for R5 with boundary
angiosome and R6 wounds
Extravascular Care and early SSG will ensure a
good clinical outcome rather than just a good
angiographic result
We would consider DEB in patients with
R5 minor tissue loss with boundary revascularization or
R6 significant tissue loss i.e. high wound burden
In our experience, both categories highlighted in red circle require a longer time for wound closure and hence will benefit from prolonged vessel patency
In this frail and old patient who is an unlikely candidate for bypass who has some rest pain from the SFA ISR, it offers a valuable tool to us
This patient is one of our early cases with DEB. He underwent a staged SFA angioplasty followed by Popliteal to lateral plantar bypass for CLI. Several months later developed SFA restenosis jeopodising the bypass graft as you can see by the tight stenosis just before the Vein Hood. This was treated with INPACT Pacific DEB in Oct 2010
2 years and 6 months post Poplital to Lateral Plantar bypass, we still have preserved Proximal inflow to drive the graft after DEB. He remains wound free and is walking!
At 18 months, there was no flow limiting stenosis. Some stenosis however developed at 24 months. DEBs do not prevent restenosis but delay the process
POBA has poor results in renal failure. This patient had primary DEB to ATA and DP for forefoot wet gangrene. With our increasing confidence in the technology, we have started applying DEB primarily at our first intervention for patients like this with extensive lesions and Renal Failure who have a high risk of restenosis. With aggressive skin coverage with dermal substitutes and SSG, we can achieve closure before restenosis
This patient had CLI and SFA stent inserted as well as ATA and DP DEB 2 years ago. She developed rest pain and SFA ISR which we drugged. Images show of the 2 year angiographic patency of ATA demonstrating the effect of the DEB
