Vascular: Pripheral Arterial Disease & Carotid Disease
Peripheral Arterial Disease
History / Exam
Intermittent claudication
Calf
Distal Superficial femoral artery most common artery PAD
Pain brought on by exercise and relieved by rest
Onset, duration, progression,
QOL
Rest pain
When lying flat
Risk factor evaluation
SMOKERS
DM
Obesity
Fhx - not as important as CVD
Age
Gender Male
Hypertension
Hypercholesterolaemia
Hyperhomocystaeinaemia
Peripheral pulse evaluation
Start prox - Femoral - popliteal - dorsalis paedis
Femoral
Half way between anterior superior iliac spine and and the symphasis pubis
Mid inguinal point
Popliteal
Flex leg / Relax leg ,lift leg, between heads of gastrocnemius
Dorsalis pedis
1/3 from the mid point of the malleoli to the first interdiital space
Lateral to extensir hallucis longus in upper 1/3 of foot
Posterior Tibial
Investigations
Bedside
ABI
Ankle systolic pressure / Brachial systolic pressure
Normal 1-1.1
Intermittent Claudication 0.6 - 0.9
Rest pain 04.-0.5
Ulcers / gangre ≤ 0.3
Imaging
Duplex Angiography
CT/MR angiography
3D reconstructions
Indications
Aorto-iliac disease
Obese - duplex can't see
Indications: When planning internvention
Vascular Lab
ABI
Toe pressure
normal 70/80/90 mmHg
Rest pain <30mmhg
Treadmill testing
ABI post exercise
Duplex Angiography
Only if planning intervention
Non invasive
Outpt
1st line screening
Duplex = B mode US and doppler effect
Management
Conservative / Lifestyle
Exercise programme
Diet
Smoking cessation
Reduce Weight
Medical
Antiplatelet agent - Aspirin (or clopidogrel)
Lipid lowering: Statin
Blood pressure control < 120/80: ACE inhibitor
Regulate DM Hba1c <7%
Risk Factor Modification
Surgery: Revascularisation
Endovascular
Balloon angioplasty +/- Stent
1️⃣st line for most
Open
Bypass Graft
2️⃣line
Anatomical (follows anatomical route of BF):
Aortobifemoral
#
Fem-pop (above knee and below knee)
Infra-inguinal Occlusive Disease
Fem-distal (tibial or peroneal)
Extra-anatomical (Doesn’t follow anatomical route of BF):
Fem-fem crossover,
#
Axillo-fem/bifem
#
Graft Material
Saphenous Vein
Reveresed
Valvulotomy and use in situ
Better size match
Use
Fem-fem
Single scare - harvesting and surgery at same time
1️⃣
Synthetic
Disadvantages
Occlusion - kink
Risk of infection
Often use Combo
Indications
Critical ischaemia
Severe claudication
Carotid Artery Disease
Imaging
Duplex US
Trial
NASCET
Cumulative risk of ipsilateral stroke at 2 yeasr 9% in surgically treated group compared to 26% in medically treated group
Showed benefit of surgery over best medical treatment for pts who
Symptomatic ( had TIA / CVA)
AND >70% stensosis
Relative risk reductionof 65% but NNT 6
If <70% medical tx - Best Medical Tx
Aspirin
Statin
Strict BP
Management
Conservative
Medical
Risk Factor Modifications
Antihypertensives: ACE
Lipids: Statins
DM: Improve control
Antiplatelets
Aspirin
Alternative: Clopidogrel
Surgical
Endartercetomy
Procedure: Removal of diseased intima and media of vessels
Greatest of stroke risk within 2 weeks
Complications
Vagus nerve
Hypoglossal nerve
Bleeding - suction drain
Infection
Stump pressure
Shunt
Clamp
Timing: Within 2 weeks of symptoms
Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting
Carotid angioplasty and stending higher risk of stroke than endarterectomy
Indication: Hostile neck
H/N cancer
Abdominal Aneurysm Repair
Definition
A localised dilation of an artery with an increase in diameter of ≥ 50% that of a non-dilated vessel
Types
Shape
Fusiform most common
Saccular
Epidmemiology
Increased prevelance with age
In men
7-8% over 65
M>W
25% pt with AAA have coexisting femoral / popliteal aneurysm
Pathogenesis
Wall of aneurysm Less elastin
Genetic basis - marfans / Ehlers danlos
Autoimmune / Inflammatory - 15%
Infective - saccular
Syph
Salmonella
Staph
IV drug abuser - Endocarditis
Presentation
Asymptomatic
Chronic abdominal pain / Back pain
Peripheral embolism
Rupture
Severe abdo / back pain
Circulatory collapse
Pulsatile mass
Rupture into IVC
High output cardiac failure
Loud machinery murmur audible within abdo
Aorto-intestinal fistula
Pulsatile mass
Population Screen
None in IRE
SIngle US in males >65yr detects 90% of aneurysm @ risk of rupture
MASS trial
