Abstract
Purpose: To determine the predictors of wound recurrence after complete wound healing in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) who underwent endovascular therapy (EVT) for infrapopliteal (IP) lesions with consideration of IP arterial anatomic severity, including classification by the Global Limb Anatomic Staging System (GLASS).
Materials and methods: This retrospective single-center study assessed patients with de novo CLTI limbs with tissue loss treated via EVT for IP lesions from September 2016 to May 2021. Among these patients, 149 consecutive limbs from 133 patients who achieved complete wound healing were enrolled. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the wound recurrence rate after complete wound healing. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to assess the association between baseline characteristics and wound recurrence.
Results: The cumulative wound recurrence rate 1 year after complete wound healing was 30%. The mean time for wound recurrence was 7±5 months. Only IP arterial anatomic characteristics remained as a predictor of wound recurrence, whereas wound status and management, including the Wound, Ischemia, and foot Infection (WIfI) clinical stage and minor amputation, were not associated with wound recurrence. Multivariate analysis revealed independent associations between wound recurrence and IP 3-vessel occlusive disease (hazard ratio, 2.97; 95% confidence interval, 1.39-6.35), but not poor below-the-ankle runoff, IP Peripheral Arterial Calcium Scoring System (PACSS) grade, and the GLASS IP grade.
Conclusion: The only independent predictor of wound recurrence after complete wound healing via EVT in patients with CLTI was IP 3-vessel occlusive disease.Clinical ImpactIn patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), wound recurrence after complete wound healing remains a challenge, and studies focused exclusively on wound recurrence are still limited. The present study aimed to determine the risk factors for wound recurrence after complete wound healing in patients with CLTI who underwent endovascular therapy (EVT) for infrapopliteal (IP) lesions, with consideration of IP arterial anatomic severity for the first time. The results showed that IP 3-vessel occlusive disease was the only predictor of wound recurrence, whereas wound status/management and other arterial anatomic characteristics including WIfI clinical stages and GLASS grades were not predictors.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Endovascular Therapy (formerly the Journal of Endovascular Surgery) was established in 1994 as a forum for all physicians, scientists, and allied healthcare professionals who are engaged or interested in peripheral endovascular techniques and technology. An official publication of the International Society of Endovascular Specialists (ISEVS), the Journal of Endovascular Therapy publishes peer-reviewed articles of interest to clinicians and researchers in the field of peripheral endovascular interventions.
