Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate tibial single access in treatment of chronic total occlusions (CTO) in patients with ipsilateral chronic-limb ischemia (CLTI).
Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, data was collected on patients treated for ipsilateral CTO via a tibial artery access between March 2017 and March 2021. Fifty-nine limbs in 57 patients, (42 men, average age 73 years; range 47-96) were treated. Patient's symptoms were classified in accordance with the Rutherford category. The end points were freedom from major amputation and the need for reintervention up to 1 year of follow up.
Results: Out of the 59 treated limbs, technical success was achieved in 57 (97%). The treated multilevel segments involved 5 common and 12 external iliac arteries, 23 common and 37 superficial femoral arteries, 23 femoropopliteal segments, 14 popliteal arteries, and 4 bypasses. Mean length of occlusion was 186 mm (range 7-670). Rutherford classification of the treated limbs was category 5 and 6 in 45 patients and category 4 in 14 patients. Three procedural complications occurred and were successfully treated during the same procedure. No immediate post-procedural complication was encountered. Median follow-up was 13 months (range 1-45.3). Reintervention was required in 9 limbs, after an average of 6 months. One year free from amputation rate was 91.2%.
Conclusions: Single access via the ipsilateral tibial artery can be a useful, effective, and safe approach for treating CTO in CLTI patients.
